Dani's Chaotic SuperSpecial Pro Berg

[nicodrive01]

Hi guys -

Everetty asked in my Mini build thread:

After having tonns of fun with my first 2 Supers (Superjuice and 86Jeep style Super) I decided to build my own Super with a Carbon Fibre chassis from my team (thanks Marc and Nick, your great guys ) and some goodies from my other parteners.

Here are the first pix:





There are parts from allover the world on the way to my shop and so I'm starting slowly but surely.

This Chaotic Super Special Pro will be done with Super Berg axles, modified with some fine D-Lux parts and off course with Super300's, Egressors Felsenfest knuckles and knuckleweights, D-Lux Titanium links and some further goodies whitch are helping to make this Big Baby strong and lightweighted. Going on with Traxxas Big Bore shocks and of course I'll keep the idea with my Alu Spacers and Alu/Titanium hardware.

Electronics will be HH BR-XL x 2 and Castle BEC x 2, I heard that the Battery Man is doing great jobs on that, so it seems the way to go. Some good Brood motors and 3 Futaba BLS157HV servos (2 x front, 1 x rear) will help for the beginning.

I've no idea on wheels yet, have some sets here and will starting with those, Erik makes some great Super Wheels, Jeremy too, so that seems not to get a problem. And Ryan from East Coast RC makes perfect cut'n'shuts, so I'll get what I want on wheels.

Skinz will come from Michelle/Krawler Konceptz, she's doing even impossible things fast and professional, so there is no better way to go.







The target weight for Supers seems to be around 6 lbs; so I have 2'631 gramms left for the rest

This will not be a "Dani quick-build" as you are used to get, I'm taking my time and my plan is to do the French Nationals (BIG2012) end of July with this Big Baby.

Thanks to ChaoticCrawlers, D-Lux, East Coast RC, Krawler Konceptz and everybody else who is supporting me to get this build come true.

regards

Dani

Thanks bud; yeah like the y-town Super CF wheels but don't know yet if and when they will be avaiable. And my Super has to be ready for the French Nats end of July. So it looks like I have to help myself for the moment...
Time will tell...

Aye, aye, Sir Axles arrived today, thanks Josh for this superfast shipping! Shocks are ready, so some work on the links is awaiting me.

Pix are coming up tonight...

[nicodrive01]

Here some more pix ...

Front axle



374 gramms / 13.19 oz -- has to loose some oz


Rear axle



337 gramms / 11.89 oz -- same game as the front axle...


Shocks (4" Bigbores with long TRX Rodends)



74.1 gramms / 2.61 oz -- not to bad, target weight is 66 gramms / 2.33 oz


Preparing for the link work




Wheelbase at 462 mm / 18.19" -- can be shortened a bit...





Side view



That's it for the moment; a lot of work to do and not to much time...

Thanks everybody who is helping me with this build, and I'm open minded for your comments and ideas, guys

[nicodrive01]

next step, upper link dummies have been done...

[nicodrive01]

she's a roller now; links are only to play with but I'm not far away...










some tests and some fine tuning with the dummy links, the I can go ahead.

Sorry about the bad pix quality, guys, only handy pix and bad light in the shop today...

regards

Thanks man; RTR will take some time; just built it for Erik (D-Lux) making able to work out some Titanium links; now is disassambling and making everything (as light) as it should be. Step by step. I have plenty of time, she must be ready mid of July.

That isn't a little bit of CF that's a lot of CF and I can't say it's to much CF You can never have to much CF IMO
