Dr.Frank's "Upps, i do it one more time..."

[Dr.Frank]

Hello,

after a long time of "crawling abstinence", i can't resist and start an oldschool Berg build.
I get older, so it's not a 2.5 lbs super duper hyper lightweight, no, just a solid and slow build.

For the front i use 1:8 Buggy cardans and made them fit. Knuckles are modified RC4WD Bully 2.
The rest is the usually Berg mod, nothing really special.

Here are some pictures from the first steps:











...more to come.

Saludos Frank

3. Thx, it's a livetime virus ;)


Chassis arrived, the Chump RT2 CF fits perfect to the "Oldschool" rig...









...i have to redo the front uppers, but everything else is as it should be. The rear axle was modified and so i "just" have to make the SCX10 Lockouts fit an build new shafts. Shocks are "slightly" moded Traxxas Big Bores. That's all for now, more to come...

Saludos Frank

Another Awesome Build " new Old School "

[rob_b]

Welcome back Dr.Frank! Nice start too.

Now what did you do with Highfly?

[josh6575]

If you find the knuckle stub bearings are too close together and sloppy. You can get another set of them and cut them down to add a third bearing.
