Default Goofing around in the back yard
Me,my son and my nephew went out in the back yard to play a little while testing a couple new parts I'm working on. We decided to try and get a little footage and make a movie.

Weight/upper link mount test from Wheel Works on Vimeo.




Thanks for watching

I figured it would be either you or EeePee that noticed that first.

That was the 3rd Berg locker that has failed on me. My last spare,guess it's time to order up a few more.

Fun video; thanks for putting that together to share.

Excellent band choice for the music - but you knew that already.

They are pretty close to the same....his may be a touch lighter though. Ed's truck is a brand new build,first time he's drove it for any length of time. I'll have to take them to work to get a real accurate weight. Best I could do here at home is an old fish scale.

I'm using the CDW LT2...(the red grappler) I've been running the LT2 for a good while now and have it dialed in to where I like it. Works extremely well.


My sons rig is using a proto chassis that might be coming out soon. The proto chassis is a bit different as far as how it reacts compared to my LT2....but it does work very good. If I was looking for a change or wanted to try something different,it would definitely be one to consider.

Which one? The weather has been good to us lately. Not very slick at all right now. Just wait though.....

Ed is tickled to death with his truck. He wants more wheelspeed though. I'm getting ready to order up some 16t pinions for his.

Stainless rings in these wheels are the same as the slugs in your wheels...3.2 ounces if I remember right. I can change that a little though if your looking for more/less weight.

Well, since you brought it up.....Does that car have a Summit tranny in it? I bet it would have more of THE TORQUE in first gear....:-P
