I spent hours trying to get my link mounts set exactly right and still got them off a bit.....:x:x:cry:

comments welcome.......

thanx for lookin..........

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

RCBro gears FTW. Although kinda goes agenst the whole keepin' it simple plan. But........

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

:lmao: LOL.... the cases and tubes go against keeping it simple......

I could do stock cases and tubes, but what fun is that?........

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Well since my cases on the tube boss have a radius where it meets the case, you have to put a small bevel on the inside diameter of the tube to fit nice and tight.......



not a great picture, but I think you can tell that it does not have a sharp edge any more........

Busting out the bling, good to see some OG 300's

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Yea .. im thinking about Wraith C's milled down so I can use Vp scx 8* knuckles....:shock::ror::ror:

they are an older set with little use....."thumbsup"

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Or Dlux knucks with the wraith C's?

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Keep it simple with a micro switch dig.
Lookin good Mike.

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

LOL....I was thinking just one ESC...:shock:


Thanx Doug.....




Link mounts were a PIA......
used a 6mm BH screw and still had to use a small washer to keep it from dragging on the axles

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Couldn't you just shorten the screw? Plus your hardware doesn't match. Chump would not approve!

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Well yea I guess I could, but then I would have to grind them a bit, and then the raw steel gets exposed and in turn it rusts faster......:shock::ror::ror:

and that hardware is just for mock up, it gets tossed into a bag and I use new ones to put it back together........

Maybe the finished product he would........;-)

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

I have 5mm here, I may have acciently tossed 6mm in yours..

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Didn't factor in rusting. Come to think of it Chump probably wouldn't approve of shortening hardware anyways. Carry on...

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

:lmao: that's too funny......"thumbsup"



here they all match....

and squared up the upper link mount where the front mounting hole is to make sure my servo has enough room.....



also you have to really round off the back lower corner so the motor clears........

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Front axle mocked up with plastic XR C's and scx 8* knuckles....

the front 2 holes on the knuckles will most likely get cut off and new ones drilles and tapped.........

still waiting on my VP C's.....:roll::roll::x

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Did you file the plastic Cs to fit the knucs?
I figured out how I can hold the Cs for milling.

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

No I didn't file them...

I did them in my millpress........:shock::lmao:

one came out great, the other, I almost threw it in the garbage.......:shock::x


Awesome ...........they just need to get off back order....:x
hope to have them by the next comp so I can just hand them over to you.....:ror:

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Ok so I could not wait for the XR C's to get off back order..:evil:

so I picked up some SCX C's to go with my knuckles.......



had to whittle off ALL of the spline off the tubes to fit the C"s.....:shock:
also got a bit more done on mock up.....

https://fdiy8q-dm2305.files.1drv.com...&cropmode=none




C's will get held on by 2 4mm set screws, one with the pin on it , gets a hole in the tube to keep it from ever turning on the tube , the other will just keep it in place...........



Oh, and link mounts are in a far different place than im use too...:shock:

might need a few RC bro link mounts..."thumbsup"

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Mike, I have some Wraith scale chubs you can use for mock up.
But you can't file them.
I'll check tomorrow for some other chubs I might have.

Re: Sloski's simple berg build
 

Thanx Doug,
But the spline on the tubes are GONE.....:shock::lmao::lmao:

and im just going to go the scx10 route......:)

it was the easy option for me......"thumbsup"
