The Aussie FrankenBerg

[ONALLFOUR]

Hey guys, over the last few months, there have been some really REALLY serious modifications happening to my axles, so I thought better late than never to start my build thread.

So, I started off with standard Berg V3 axles (yes, I know it wasnt the best decision, but I didnt know better :P )

they started off life like this:



I then bought some sexy RcBros gear like alloy tubes, titanium rear shaft and DLUX knuckles under the impression that they would fit my cases/tubes:



which they didnt :(

SO, the plan was to make some tubes that will fit the cases and allow me to run all the goodies that you gentlemen run on your V1's.... and this is how it went:

Firstly they underwent a good dose of milling to lighten the cases and lathing to make the larger bearings fit:





















then a V1 locker was tested to see if it would fit in my case:








The tubes:

Raw material:







The cases then had a bash from a grinder with a flappy disc:






To compliment my awesome new tubes, I bought two sets of Sloski800 CVD's from RcBros:



I then spoke to a gentleman called Mr. Links who replicated my links for me (cos its a tracer chassis, it only has 4 links):

OLD LINKS:



NEW LINKS:



HUGE weight saving here.

Then I got some light weight lockers from RcBros:

shown here with my titanium links:



WAAAY before all of this got happening, I bought some Hulksta Engineering 3 piece wheels, now wrapped up in some silver dot Voodoo Pins:



Because the cases are so compact, a custom servo mount had to be made up:













And then it got a polish:



This is what everything is looking like so far:



^^^ TUBES, CASE, LINK MOUNTS FOR THE REAR, AND SHOCK/LINK MOUNTS WHEN I INEVITABLY GO TO A HULKSTA ENGINEERING RIDDLER CHASSIS ^^^



^^^ SEXY LINK MOUNT ^^^

Nice work, you really have a nice custom project going on there. I like the smooth polished look you gave the axle cases.

Thanks guys, I'm going to resize the pictures as soon as I can so it's not too much of a headache to load. Will be updating with some more images too.
Dude, I can't not drive them, it's been too long in the making haha

Hey guys, i edited my first post because the photos where too big and when i did it just now there were too many characters to keep all the pics in the first post, so here's where it continues again wasnt too much taken off the first, just a few pics:











I was stuck for ideas for motors... I was heaps keen on a set of broods but the price for an awesome Conflux build was astronomical, so i was gonna get some HH Pullers, but they're not being manufactured at this current point in time, so I was going to settle for a set of Torquemasters just to get me on the rocks, and then these came up at an irresistable price:





So thats whats been happening in the last few months, I'll be back on soon to update when the next bout of mods get done. Wont be too much longer
