Berg or Losi?

[KastanPro]

What is better, the berg or losi? I have a losi but I am likeing the berg, don't know if I wanna build one or not.

[slowngreen]

its mainly gonna be a personal preference i think. i have had both and the losi (stock) just didnt do anything for me so im sticking with berg.

Get ahold of Gerame at Eritex and set your Losi up to a MOA style

[megacabcummins]

That's what I am doing with mine, just haven't made up my mind on motors yet...

BUILD IT AND THEN DECIDE.

Two very different styles of rig. Just get one and drive the piss out of it. Drivetime is hands down the most important part

I'm going to say Berg for the record though

from the berg owners stand point, what make's the losi seem like it is not competition to the berg?

That's the only set-up I'd consider. After constantly snapping driveshafts on my Axial, including all sorts of upgraded ones, I've gone to a Berg and will never consider another shafty for a comp rig again (both for this reason and others). Now of course I'm just breaking inners !

Unless you go MOA then the dig is the biggest advantage to me. I may switch my dig on and off 5-6 times in 10 seconds depending on a certain situation, such as walking up a face and turning at the same time.

If you go MOA then honestly you start to level the playing field a lot. If you throw in a good controller like a 4PK or a stick radio then you can get almost the same feel, and get a free wheel like performance as well.

Plus the berg usually keeps the smoke in

Bergs, hands down the best axle going currently.

After 4 comps and 7 runs and 7 breaks and throw in a few DNFs ,I think you will know my answer ,I have never actually owned or drove a berg yet ,One on the way as we speak ,But i have been spanked by plenty with my losi ,I have broke everytime I went to a comp ,I ordered the 6mm heavy duty cvds from ckrc it might be next year before I actually get them ,But Ill save the losi for a back up or a loaner rig .so you know my answer ,

I have both, my Losi is sick out of the box, just had to pull my hair out to get it running the way I want, still not sure on the motor situation... As for my Berg, it's simple most idiots can drive the hell out of it!

My son has a berg and I HAD a Losi. After watching his dig unit work compared to Losi's there's no question to me. However, with the moa that came out a week after I sold the Losi it should be a very equal playing field. Luckily I sold my Losi to a friend and when I get my berg done we'll compare notes then.

I love my Losi and it does extremely well. Its going to all come down to you and what you want. I dont think you can go wrong either way..

I just sold my berg for a losi. I just do not like bergs as much because of the clod stall and track width. I will say that the bergs are very strong but they just don't cut it in tight comp courses. There too wide and don't turn sharp enough for me. Plus the losi has more diff clearance with rock claws than bergs with Rovers.

Also on the high traction rocks that socal competes on, the dig does not lock very well at all.

Just my $.02

I love my Losi & have had no problems at all!!

Then you are the only guy in the USA that hasnt had a problem with the losi ,You tell me you havent even broke a cvd

[cjjeepman]

You must not be running stock losi axles

The first batch hitting the shore had bad CVDs, I broke three. The new replacements from losi have now held up for three comps and a lot of play time. I got into a hard bind and the only thing that went bad was the idler gear, it stripped beause I had locked down the slipper.

So far the Losi has been a very reliable comp crawler. I've been in the top three to four places in the comps. I would have placed higher but made a few too many little errors.
