I just got my chassis in and I have different links than what i see in the pics above. I got two long ones for the rear and 4 of the same sized ones for the front i take it? The 4 "smaller" ones also were tapped 4 3mm instead of the included 4 mm screws. I got no spacer for the chassis also. I was able to get the rear hooked up and the chassis seems to have no flex at all in the rear so i was curious if there is a correct way it should be put together? I sent ya an email Sol  Last edited by swisherteets; 02-25-2009 at 06:52 PM. |

| I received the same thing in my kit. Are there supposed to be 4 equal length links with no spacer up top? Thanks. |

I also received only four shorts and two longs in the kit I recieved. I started putting it together and also felt like the rear had no flex at all. I got frusterated with the set up and sold it. Hopefully someone can make it work. I was disappointed but it is a completely different direction than I am use to.

Could one of you please post a picture of what you got. Also please post a picture of the progress you finished in the build. Going off memory here.....Uppers should be 58mm Lowers should be 78mm. Seems the rears should be around 114mm. Again off memory, battery died in my measure. Keep in mind until you have the weight of axle's, motors, wheels, tires, etc. you will not really be able to really flex it. You will want a spacer between upper shock mount, also would use one between were the rear links mount at chassis. |

My progress has been slow as this is my first build with the berg axles. After I watched the teaser video with the Mantis I could see this is a hot setup for the axles. Using parts off my Axial to do the mock-up. Jato Rod ends, had them on the shelf. Jato's measure around 26mm from the center of the hole to the end. With the scrap rod that was cut off the rears I was able to piece links together for front link mock up. I have one 6mm spacer each side on the lower front chassis and 2 6mm spacers on top for the shocks. As it sits now, I have very little axle steer or roll, and nothing is touching through the range of articulation (motor or gearbox housing). The shocks have 2 pen springs inside that limit the shock travel to 34mm total stroke. You are correct, when I get the rig loaded up I will be able to determine total flex. WB = 12 3/16" Chassis height little over 2 5/16" @ the lowest point. Add 52mm for center to center length. Rear links, 60mm Front uppers, 22.5mm Front lowers, 21mm Has anyone tried a clocked front axle yet? Last edited by slick; 03-03-2009 at 11:32 PM. |
