Berg viper1 links

[Blackcloud]

Ok i have an older enroute berg 2.2 kit that im going to put a ugc viper 1 chassis on and would like to know if there is a set of upper and lower links that will work or will they have to be custom made.
Thx for any input

[huskerfan406]

I would check dluxfab.com they sell links for the viper chassis! I would ask him if his will work!

[Blackcloud]

Checked dlux he only makes them for the viper2 chassis

I've run a V1 and V2 viper.
They really aren't that bad to make links for. Pretty straight forward.
My guess is you are looking for Titanium links, correct?

I'll have to check when I get home, but I might have a used V2 that I would be willing to sell...

If you ever need anything or have a question, you should ask me directly. PM or email works best.

I am not sure of the differences between a V1 and a V2. I will see if I can figure out what the difference is in links.

The V1 links need to be a few mm shorter to work with the V2 so you would need a set of V2 links that are a little longer. You could either have someone like Erik build them that way, or use different rod ends to gain length where needed.

I've also seen some guys use the links offered by Crawler Innovations since they are easy for most people to modify themselves without many tools.

Just found this for the V2 links...this was on an XR though.

Front Lower - 4 7/8"
Front Upper - 4 5/8"

Rear Lower - 5 3/8"
Rear Upper - 4 7/8"

And DickyT said this...about his Berg setup...

DT is a huge help with viper stuff. Erik is more than capable of getting the links done right. He does all of my links.

Erik texted me, I just got to a computer and was looking for that to post.

Thanks Ryan

If I recall I cut about 3mm of threads (1.5mm per side off of the front links) off of my Viper Links for my Viper II. So Viper 2 links with the rod ends twisted out 1.5 turns from fully screwed on will work just fine.

If you don't, I do! In a few different flavors from early prototypes, to production, to the Viper Lite (full CF - 52 grams with all alu hardware except links which I used SS)
