Well the rig is ready for its first GTG tomorrow and I noticed how damn badass it was looking sitting there so I thought I would share a pic or two. You can see my Ghetto fab'd battery mount that I made today with my rudimentary tools and work area that I have but, it is a good start. I tried to make it look a little better with some stickers on the stock panels until the KK goodness arrives |

| Re: The U help me pick build thread You are going to be at high rocks tomorrow right? You can see it in person then. It is nothing special but I think it will only work with a Dlux case. It needs work but is a good start. I figure Tom will come up with a way to improve it the minute he sees it |

So these came today. I understood that the wires would be a smaller gauge but I did not realize how short they would be. With my having to mount the battery on the front axel they won't reach. I would like to keep them as they are some nice clean looking little guys. I can't extend the wires so what can I do? |

You really need to put longer wires on your ESC's, It's the best way to address this issue. I myself ran into the same problem. On a sidenote, you coming to the comp on Sunday?

nice man! I never though of mounting to servo mount! I used upper link mount nut. and where shock mounts on the axle. I'll post a pic soon.

So a few tweaks were made recently. I moved the servo over towards the case. I also tilted it forward from where it was which gave some clearance between servo and the motor as well as very nice steering geometry. I raised the servo up as well so it is behind the axel not below it. These changes necessitated a longer steering link and a new battery mount. I wanted to raise the battery mount up from where I had it before so I could run the steering rod under the mount which is the way it is supposed to go. The only downside is the battery is a bit exposed but I will see how it goes. If there is a issue maybe I could get Rowdy to make me something. So down the 5 to Tom's house I went and this is what he came up with. |

| Re: Sessions YTC Dlux berg build
As you all can see I had my user name shortened to match my skins and just be easier to deal with in general. I also had the thread name changed to reflect what it has become verses what it started as. Hopefully newbs will take a look as it shows the learning curve it takes to get from nothing to a highly capable Berg style MOA crawler. The rig is in the process of being updated. The wheels are changing to something a little bit Dlux and a little bit of my tweaking. They are coming along nicely and I believe will be pretty cool when I am done. I will be using Erik's weights and I am doing all new foams to go with the new wheels. Also as you can see above my skins are on the way |
