Default Mancaves berg WIP

So it's been a few years since I've been out of the comp world i figured come out of the gate swinging with as light of weight as possible berg that I could get.
With that being said I've ordered carbon wheels dbl deuce 6.0t comp cut CI foams and plan on going all carbon fiber with a mutt chassis and axles and new titanium links. Currently it's running modded berg axles with super 300 fronts beefy rears boss claws smashed micro sidewinders bec with servo bypass harness 7950th servo vp knuckles pink label broods and a ytown bj4 chassis. Here's a few pics until the wheels arrive and my 4pk which I'll have to remember how to use. I'm gonna need a lot of input since I've forgotten so much about bergs
Fresh out of the box

Got my foams from Eddie and my wheels from rcp scuffed the inside since I couldn't find purple loctite and went to work

I was told to use purple loctite to seal the beads on the tires by a good friend of mine who comps

Now the fun part, shaving the sidewalls and cutting the tread!

I wonder if the purple loctite thing is their anaerobic gasket maker. It's purple I think it's called loctite 515. Works really well on motorcycle gaskets... Interesting

I've used it on a couple Kawi gaskets before and it does do a great job so i'd day that its used for easier removal of the tire and less chance to rip the bead ungluing them

Haven't really done much but change is in the future. Soon a berg in a box from classicutcustoms will be on the way

First test run with it. Did pretty good, removed the rear weights moved the front shocks back one hole along with the front upper links.

Decided I'd build an indoor course for the winter to run my shafty and berg and soon to be super on. Still very rough around the edges but it'll polish up
