Diamond's SuperAgent TI Fighter
 
So I have been gathering parts together for the past couple of months for this build and finally felt like it was time to post up. I sold my super bully's and decided to go bergs. I was fortunate enough to have my friend Jim lend me his super until I got mine done during the warcrc series. So the last two or three comps I've been running his.
I have had a few good friends helping me out with this build. I would like to thank JB (BigBlackCummins) for getting me all the info I needed for the key items to have for the bergs since this is the first berg I have ever built. Also like to thank Dan (Hulksta) for doing up these nice berg tubes for me as well as the servo mounts. They turned out very nice. "thumbsup"

Ok so onto the build. I am just getting started with this build so this is prob gonna be another one of those slow super build threads. :)

So for the parts list

Motors Brood 45T HHK
Dual BRXL's uncased and liquid taped
Not sure exactly what I'm gonna do yet for servos. I have some 7980's from the super bully build but was thinking I was gonna run two 7980's up front and possibley one in the rear or two 7950's in the rear.
Nomadio React radio
Blast wheels by Eddie at C.I.
And I think I am gonna run a body on this rig still undecided so far.
VP AX-10 8* knuckles and chubs
Super 300's with axial stubs
7.5" boss claws
Erik Dlux shaved gear cases
Dlux knuckle bushings
Dlux upper link mounts

I still have some stuff to get like two 7950 servos and I am planning on getting some TI links done for it as well. Anyways here are a few pics of what I have done so far.

Here is a pic of the rear axle I haven't started with the front yet.

Thanks guys.

Hoping to get some more work done this weekend on it. I've been working on lightening up the blast wheels. Also gonna make an aluminum washer basically for the slw hubs on the blast wheels.

Ok good to know. I'm gonna mock them up with 8/32 rod for now and see what kind of lengths and bends I want. I have a friend around here that may start making them and get a vendor star to start selling them here. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna just do the straight links for the front like you do and a nice swooping rear with 1/4 TI. And prob just 3/16 TI for the uppers. Good info though thanks. "thumbsup"

Re: Diamond's Superjuice Berg Build
 
Good deal. I am pretty happy with my link setup....1/4" should be damn strong!

Thanks Mark. No these mounts were made by hulksta. He did a very nice job with them. I'm sure you are gonna like the 8 deg stuff. "thumbsup"
