That compete set with Man gears is a heck of a deal. Speaking of I noticed the RCbros lockers are MIA. Anyone know if they are simply out or are they gone?

Thanks! So im a newby when it comes to moa. Im starting my first moa build and just wondering the big differences in the berg axles over bully. Might be a stupid question I know! Is it strength, cleareace, turning, durability?

I don't know much about the bully's but I think it comes down to the fact that the bergs have potentially better turning radius. I also think the bergs are lighter from what I hear, or at least have the potential to be lighter.

The Bully axles can be a pain in the ass for link clearance as the gear case is bulkier and the standard steering angle isn't great. BUT you can do a lot to them like you can with Berg's - RC4WD XVD v6 axles, shave the knuckles, shave the gear case etc and you can bring down weight, improve link clearance, gain more steering able and so on.

As a standard axle the Bully is pretty much bullet proof, but there is limited vendor support - Chaotic Crawlers did delrin rear tubes for a while but have just confirmed they aren't planning on doing any more. I started out with Bullys and did the XVDs, delrin rear tubes etc but ended up switching to Bergs. The Bullys have sat there gathering dust and i put them up for sale on a UK crawling site.

both axles have fans and have positives and negatives. Personal pref and vendor support is what lead me to run the Bergs.

Yep, considering those gears are priced at $25 each......that means he is selling the axles for $140

Hobby Town Concord had me set in just a few days. I didn't know they had a deal with the Mann gears, bummer I would of rather done that than just the axles alone.
