Berg Built By BarryBelvedere?

[barrybelvedere]

Last summer I built a 2.2 pro Rig for a buddy named Ed G. I did take some pics while building it but did not have the time for an actual build thread.
It is more of an eye candy thread than anything. Some pics are randomly thrown in out of order. I tried the best I could with the time I am allowing for this.

This rig was not built to break any weight records but still ended up being a very light rig. Can't remember what I got it to weigh but it was alot lighter than my XR-10.

Acquiring the parts needed to build a Berg is a job in its self! Not sure why the XR-10 parts are in the one pic...

Notice the snowflakes got much BEEFIER!

Starting to test fit all the Axle parts...Since it has Dlux axleshafts inside CCC axle housings I had to use the lathe to bore out the axle tubes.

I would have liked to install inserts on the rear Delrin hubs. I just threaded them out. Plus a bit extra.

I am Just knocking out these pics for you to see what type of awesome rigs can be built not bought. Its my first Berg so there was a few things I could of done to improve. Like better pics. All were done with my Iphone.

Now for the AMX Chassis and Links. Aluminum screws can be tightened only so many times before the hex drive is compromised so I built it with silver hardware first then replaced them once it was assembled.

No... thank you. Where did you get the batteries? I need some new ones.

[barrybelvedere]

Best small crawler packs available highest C rating also. Zoom in on batteries to see. Valuehobby.com like 8 bucks each. Every other time i was looking at them on their site they were out of stock. But check every couple of days and more will pop up. Beest found these.

Looks Awesome Man. Time to give it some scratches ;)

How did the build Jig work for you, think this is the first photo I have seen of one?

[barrybelvedere]

The jig works great. I normally just use a tape measure seems to be quicker. Once the wheelbase is real close to 12.5" then I put the jig on to ensure it is not somehow getting too long thru the suspension cycle. It is also easier to tell how much/little the wheelbase grows than using a tape measure. The berg in this build was a customers rig. He lives in New York, Maybe we will see it in your neck of the woods.
