What is a better Comp Rig? Berg V2 Tracer VS Losi Comp Crawler

[n2dmud]

I can't make up my mind.
Berg V2 Tracer VS Losi Comp Crawler
Which is a better Comp Rig?
If money is not an object.
And what setup would you recommend? Chassis, motor(s)
Thanks

I vote Losi, its just what I have. X2.

Novak Goat 3s, 18.5 Ballistic.
3s Lipo.
13T or 14T pinion.

Losi comp crawler 18.5t goat, delrin links, dig servo mounted to the radio tray, lowered steer servo, tires of your choice, and some suspension tuning works awsome!

At the last comp I was at ( before I had my dig servo in the tray, delrin links or the goat) I was hangin with bergs and got a perfect score on one course, now it crawls a lot better! And I'm looking for a top spot at my next comp

Sure the Losi takes a little getting used to but it is awsome once you get it tuned in and a few cheap (or free) mods done to it, I really like the fact that you can take it out of the box do a few free and simple mods and tune it and its extremly compable! Stuff my axial would have trouble with at my home course, its now boring and easy

I'd go berg V1 myself over both.

I used to run a V1 Berg, it worked good, but I like the way my Losi drives over the MOA.

i got the v1 berg and the losi moa and i prefer the berg

X2 The V1s are still on top at all the comps around here. There are are a couple losis and a v2 getting in the top 10 at times but there are more HRs doing it.

Any rig you spend time practicing can become a deadly competitor.
But I'd go berg.

I have a LCC and i have driven some Bergs on practice courses. I the bergs are easier the drive in my opinion. I am getting better with the LCC. Not sure if you know much about dirtbikes but a LCC is like riding a 2-stroke. Sure its competitive but its no 4-stroke. I like the LCC because its not the "cheeter rig". With the LCC you can say, "I just did that line with a shafty!"

[n2dmud]

Thats for the feed back guys. Keep it coming. So far it looks like I'm getting a losi.

I hear what you are saying. There great but need a more maintenance.

Sounds like there is a few V1 fans out there too.

i have a lcc and a moa. i think in the long run you will have more fun and do better with a moa than the lcc. the maintance of the lcc. if you have a moa on 3s a lcc on 4s still doesn't have the same wheel speed. i like the lcc but i like the moa better

I think that if you don't plan on modding it, replacing the chassis, shocks, etc, the Losi is far better straight out of the box.

However, at least for my style of driving, I just don't think that the Losi would hold up. I used to break my Axial every time I ran it...of course I was running a 10t cobalt Puller in it. I currently run a T1e stage chassis w/ Rockshow cab on a modified (for more steering) set of light weight bully axles. I wouldn't trade it for any other rig. I use a DX6i controller & 2 ESC's, and have total control. I can easily drive out of bind situations instead of breaking the shafty or burning up a motor.

I agree that if you go MOA get the V1's and a good chassis (there are lot's to choose from) A set of Traxxas big bores, some 300s and a rear straight axle kit.You will have a top of the line setup for less than the Tracer setup. V1s and a Juice chassis are only 210.00 dollars total!!

[n2dmud]

Well I don't knowif this is helping. Now it sounds like it is between a V1 and a LCC.
Although I am the type of guy that can't keep anything stock so I am leaning towards the V1.

[MtnBkr]

Drive a built Berg V1 and the Losi before you decide. I have a heavily modded Axial and switched over to a Berg. I missed the shafty, sold the Berg and rebuilt the shafty. I'll probably drop the coin for a Losi one of these days.

My point is, a MOA drives a lot different than a shaft driven truck.

I also agree with both of these statements. I think guys that go out and buy Bergs look pretty stupid if they can't drive. There's something to be said for a guy that can podium with a shafty.

Drive em, then decide!

Practice with your LCC and soon you will love it. I have seen very good drivers using LCC and won over MOAs. Read this thread
Del Monte's Losi Comp Crawler

I'd run a slash...lock both diffs...3500 VXL brushless on 3S 9000mAh...can't go wrong.

I love my V2 axles!!!!!!!!!!
