I wonder who is the oldest person in rcc

anyone here on social security?

 

[Erik D_lux]

when you make more will they be sleeved as well?
if not, will the price come down a bit?

thanks, i'll start saving for 4 of them haha

If I make another batch, they wont be sleeved, they will simply have a bigger diameter from the start.

I didnt calculate the cost of the sleeve into the part. I figure I need to eat it since its my design flaw.

 

[cabron]

ok
thanks
order soon

On the Next run Erik, perhaps you could look at Duplex Stainless Steel. It has 1.8 times the strength of 316 and is also lighter. Maybe if you have not already, run some strength modelling via your design software and see if a bolt in can be designed for all axle arrangements.

 

[Erik D_lux]

Thanks for the option.

I looked into the duplex stainless just for a second and it looks to be weaker than 4340 in every category?

 

[Highlucks]

It may well be. Sorry I did not know you had machined these from 4340.
Duplex was suggested to me as a suitable material for axles by one of the day job suppliers.

This is really great news for anyone going the Berg route!

 

[Erik D_lux]

No worries Cameron. At the least, you made me look into a new material that I was not aware of. Learning is always a great thing.

Thanks!

I am sure most caught it but not only are the shafts readily available (most the time LOL). But this is key to my quest to bring down the cost of Berg axles. This mod will bring down the overall cost somewhere around $60. Count that in with the other parts I have come out with to bring cost down and a couple more significant ones still coming and we will be in business.

 

[Erik D_lux]

Now, you guys have multiple choices on which shafts to get to use this locker.

SSD CVD shafts
VP CVD shafts
Axial universal shafts
Dlux universal shafts

I am guessing there are probably even more?

 

[Erik D_lux]

I was not thinking everything thru on the above post. There are a couple other uses for this locker.

If you put it in the rear axle, you can use:
VP XR length shafts
SCX shafts
And probably Wraith or other shafts that have the Axial tang. Keep in mind, you will need tubes that are the correct length.

For a super, this locker is also perfect for two long side Wraith shafts. More on this coming soon!

 

[Highlucks]

XR rears will be an unlikely fit given they are different lengths to each other. but they could be trimmed down.

I think the VP "Currie" XR width shafts, are the same length.. Like 2x long side XR shafts, in one package..

Looks like the VP XR rears are same length.

I really dont think they will actually be a great option at this time due to cost and other options but I really just brought it up for people to think about all the possible options. Something like Wraith rears could work too in the right application or if we got in a really bad spot for shafts.

Just to clarify, I am not 100% that the VP XR rears would be plug and play into any existing tubes. Another thing to consider is that if they tubes are different lengths than stock, you will have to figure out the upper link mount also, along with other things.

Other options:

SSD centered shafts for a Yeti - probably too wide, but could be an option.
