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........

| Re: Sloski's simple berg build LOL....I was thinking just one ESC... 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 Last edited by roksloski; 09-09-2017 at 10:59 PM. |

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

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

that's too funny...... 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........ Last edited by roksloski; 09-09-2017 at 11:02 PM. | |

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..... Last edited by roksloski; 09-09-2017 at 11:04 PM. |

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........ one came out great, the other, I almost threw it in the garbage....... Awesome ...........they just need to get off back order.... hope to have them by the next comp so I can just hand them over to you..... Last edited by roksloski; 02-26-2015 at 08:53 PM. |

| Re: Sloski's simple berg build
Ok so I could not wait for the XR C's to get off back order.. 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..... also got a bit more done on mock up..... 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... might need a few RC bro link mounts... Last edited by roksloski; 09-09-2017 at 11:07 PM. |

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. |
