Chaotic Special Berg

[OTHGbronco82]

So, since I have most of the parts I figured I'd start a build thread. I'll post pics later when I actually have them.

Parts list is kinda long.

Dlux:
Axle tubes front and rear
Link mount on the front or the rear, haven't decided where it's going to go yet
Milled and big pin mod to the gears
Rear straight axles
Motor cover/battery mount
Dlux 2.2 wheels, don't remember how wide
Servo mount


Chaotic:
Special light weight


Ottsix:
Voodoo golds on all fours


SDS:
3rd gear front and rear
Super 300HD's


Thing I need to get:

CC sidewinder micros x2
CC BEC
Homles or Brood motors in the 35 or 45T flavor x2
Futaba 4PL
Hitec 7950 servo
Links from Dlux or Chaotic
Skins for the panels
Traxxas big bores
VP wraith knucks & c-hubs

Pics should be up in the next day or so if I remember.

I forgot to mention, it's going to be a long a$$ build. Trying to say up for a DH bike and get parts at the same time. It should pick up after the 26th, that's when I get back from vacation.

So I finally got around to getting some pics up.


Sorry for the crappy cell phone quality, it's all I have for a camera.

This is the front axle. Still needs knucks, c-hubs, and motor mount work done. But, it's almost there.




This is the rear axle. Pretty plain. Dlux upper mount, tubes, shafts, and gear work.





And these will be going in the front axle. SDS 300HD's




Just a shot of all the axle stuff together.





The heart of this build. The OG Chaotic Special LW.





For traction I have 4 Voodoo golds, and 2 Voodoo silvers.

Front view of the Dlux beadlocks:



And a rear view:



And an overall shot of all the tires and sticky goodness.




Look ma, I'm king of the mountain.




Hopefully I'll be able to get this thing finished this year. I'm planing on going into the Air Force in June, July-ish. It'll either be done then or after I get out of basic and have some more money.

What are you going into the AF to do? I'm retiring just as you are entering. I'll have 20 years in as a Civil Engineer.

[OTHGbronco82]

I'm hoping I'll be able to go into EOD. If that doesn't work out my second choice would be a mechanic of some sort, either planes, automotive, or something along those lines. But this is all after I go to college hopefully. I'm already set on doing a full 20 years, maybe longer.

Where did you purchase the sds axles?
I cant find them anywhere.

[OTHGbronco82]

Got them a while back when he was doing the preorder thingy. If you post and add in the wanted section someone might have some. I got lucky. I had the money to get them when they were available so I got them. Or, you could PM Eric_Dlux and see if he'll make you some uni's. I've heard his universal's are pretty good. And they're a little bit cheaper than SDS 300's.
