newbie8324 · 10-20-2008, 07:53 PM

wow

show off that bling playa

rusty_rail · 10-20-2008, 09:41 PM

not too big on the bling i prefer black , i heard that they are gonna come out with adonadize colors like red and blue, ok time for specs.

esc's: LRP AI super (x2)
motors: integy v11 35t/8T pinions
battery: custom saddle pack 7 cell elite 4000
tires: stock for now but i got moabs xl's
rims: stock, axial 8 hole narrowed on the list
radio: no radio thinking dx5 new or dx6 used
servos: tower pro 995, until i can afford something better.

as u can see im on a budget so this should do for now.
i should have it runnig by this weekend so any south florida crawlers i'll be at the dubois park in jupiter.

let me know what u guys think, any advice or whatever u guys want to comment as this will be my first super build and my firs MOA rig.

rusty_rail · 10-21-2008, 02:09 PM

whats going on now? a new crawler build with no interested people?? wow
the 2.2 bug is biting hard i guess, i know theres some superclass guys around here, come on i need some imput or advice. chip in ppl.

new pic, narrowed the front

celicaboy · 10-21-2008, 02:39 PM

nice work on the narrowing on the body

and whats the quality like?

rusty_rail · 10-21-2008, 02:45 PM

very good actually axles are real beefy, i havent found any downsides to the set up besides the shock mounts on the links but i dont thing the will be an issue.

Dynamic^Cipher · 10-21-2008, 09:47 PM

Its a big berg, and that aint a bad thing. My questions are, how are the tires? Are the links solid or hollow? What electronics do you plan on using?

RCMFMaxxMan · 10-22-2008, 12:16 AM

I like what I can see on your body work. Can I see an overall picture of it to get an idea of how the body turned out?

Big Mike · 10-22-2008, 08:03 AM

X2 on the bodywork - nice narrow job (I tried once with the same body, it ain't easy!)

Who makes the axles? They look similar to the Raptors I'm using in my Hustler build. Then again they don't.

And yea, I hear you about no love for the supers. It seems to be a dying class. I've always wanted to build one though, and it really does'nt matter much if I don't compete with it...

Ooh, so the Berg is a small clod?

Dynamic^Cipher · 10-22-2008, 09:19 AM

The clod has the motor jacked up above the axle unlike the berg. The clod chassis is nothing like the berg. Compare the berg chassis to the xtm and they are pretty similar. Compare the link mounts.

Just cause something is MOA doesn't make them the same.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 10-22-2008, 10:26 AM

i like it!
im fixn ta start me a super build as well!

gonna make my own chassis tho, i dont like the
shocks on the links.

NitroX · 10-22-2008, 11:25 AM

What would be a good alternative the the shock mounts on the links?

Dynamic^Cipher · 10-22-2008, 12:00 PM

I was thinking about that as well. The way I came up with was to eliminate the shocks and the links.

I got myself an X-Crawler kit and a pimp cane. Should be here any day now. I know I am going to have to custom fab the mounts to the frame, but I got some Ideas for that, shouldn't be hard.

tires look mean but the compund its a little RC4WDish, havent tested them yet, the links are solid SS and my setup is posted at the top^^^

what i did was use 1/2"x1/2" aluminum angle to extend the chassis and mount savage shocks to the axles but i think theres a clerance problem on the motor side at least it will be if you use the cone washers provided with the kit, anyways i decided to leave the chassis stock and go droop with some springs form ACE hardware and 100wt LOSI oil.

ill post pics of the body later on tonight!!!!

it'd be cool if there was a "super specific" chassis that doesnt use shocks- like the zero t.

JPB-rides · 10-23-2008, 10:11 AM

Cool looking build. I want to know how well those axles work. They look like Raptors and the Raptors are junk. Do you know the gear ratio? Keep this thread going as I am interested in how this kit works. I am building a Rockbull kit and it seems simalar to yours. Good luck.

cartronicshn · 10-23-2008, 10:53 AM

Build looks great

, it's good to see people building supers

, looking at those axles i see no easy way to do bta, unless you went through the gearcases..

toy4crawlin · 10-23-2008, 11:04 AM

x3, body narrow is cool

How are the axles, I thought raptors were weak

I dont think your shock placement is going to be effective

What Elec and batteries you going with

Go SUPERS !
The will come back

Dynamic^Cipher · 10-23-2008, 11:52 AM

The gear ratio is 90.5:1
This is good unlike the raptors that need gear reduction.
