Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) It's been a very long time without an update. I have been so incredibly happy with my set up that I don't change a thing. The parts that I get from RcBro are top notch. Over the last year and a half the only thing I have changed is I got some new RcBro carbon fiber wheels that look sweet. Here are some photos from our comp over the weekend. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...f386f3c31b.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...4b799082d8.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...e4daaf5ae9.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...3a198d8df1.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...3a5661be30.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Any updates, butt head? Love ya! TOM |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) This was such a cool read! Nice build thread any updates? |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Wow it’s been along time since I’ve done an update. I went years with very little changes and it became time to replace some parts due to natural wear and tear.I needed new speed controllers and motors so I feel the only option was ordering some Homes Hobbie’s ESC’s and 400 13T puller motors. In the meantime ordering some new parts I was able to get my hands on a set of aluminum fighter axles. Man these things are gorgeous. I decided to use the aluminum fighter rear axle. The overall width was narrower than my current set up which I didn’t like. This is where I had Tom make me some new tubes so I can have my overall width back. Tom can add the technical detail about the tubes, but they are sweet and holding up. The only other change that I can think of is I gave up on the 7075 aluminum lower links and went back to titanium links. I was consistently bending the lower aluminum links which was getting old. Here are a few pictures from earlier today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a418e7614f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d5cae915fa.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e8c8c1d132.jpg |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Looks good! What bearing did you fit in the end of the new tubes? Double snap ring for retainers or...? |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Quote:
We will see how it holds up. Since the tube threads into the gear case, you install the axle shaft into the tube, then thread into the gear case. |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Gotcha. Did you machine the inner threads onto the tubing or did you find a .375” .5mm pitch die to use? I am sure you can see how fun it was to stuff 7mm shafts in there... :ror: |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) very nice build. really like the time put into it and the red and alum polish n black. looks great. want to do that to mine. also cudos on dying threads on chromoly may I ask, I'm a bit confused here, this is much bigger or at least a lot wider than standard berg axles. so is this still a 2.2 ? and do you find it to perform better being larger? I ask because I built a super but had a tough time finding terrain that providing near fun results with my 2.2 berg. What do you suggest for front axles on the cheap? Thank you Nice write up"thumbsup" |
Re: Beerman's RcBros Berg build (update on page 7) Wow. Sweet Wheel. Where can I get the adaptor and wheel? I'm searching, but nothing found yet. Beerman ;" Harley adapter so I can mount a 1.9 wheel to my 4pl. Tom also got a sweet VP Method wheel. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/beqa6ebe.jpg Love to add something like that on my cusomt DX6i http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/elect...ml#post2668063 Any there any extra vp method's anywhere? |
