Search: This was on the 3rd page, don't be a slacker. Berg vs. Bully?? Summary, just in case that thread is too complicated  Most will argue Bergs are the best because of their lighter weight and turning radius, but the internals need upgrading. Bullys are ready to go right out of the box, but they are heavy. RC4WD just released machined Bully axles which are lighter but more expensive. |

8 lb range on average. Some people have been able to get them to 6-7lbs though.

you might as well do it right the first time and get H-Rs, with berg guts.my crawler is 6lbs 8 oz. narrower, lighter and with berg guts which will soon have sd300s from super dave they can't be beat.  Last edited by Rokpile; 11-27-2009 at 10:11 PM. |

Berg, I have beat the snot out of them and they hold up to the abuse just fine. I would try a Bully if all the Bully owners wern't trying to shove it down my throat. |

I've been around about a year now, and En Route berg axles seem to hold up well. Some guys change a few things (stubs), but the options seem endless |

especially when he's a shafty driver! yes unfortunately he's mine!i have berg and hr i love my bergs,and hr's but if i had to choose i would do hr's w/berg gears and super 300's there's much more to try and get the berg more narrow, hr's are as close to shafty width as you can get! and you can go wider if ya need instead of figurin out how narrow you need on a berg,plus axial wheels work well on hr's so long story short to keep cost down go hr Last edited by sococrawler; 11-28-2009 at 04:35 PM. | |
