Where did you get the idea for all those links? I think I know.

 

[krawlfreak]

if you are gonna use the revo ends, on the lower front links you will need to slightly shave down the top of the end to keep it moving freely in the axle side mount.

shocks are filled with the supplied 35 wt oil and gold springs

i drilled out some jeepin doug spring cups to fit the larger shaft and limited the shocks

front are limited internaly .25" and externally with .31"

rears ar limited externally only with .5"

this is the most badass bodiless i have ever seen.


its cool to to be in my position wondering the specific reason behind each little thing you're doin.

i like how i can just watch one of the best build his rig LOL.


keep the pics comin man. i am learning and scrambling to imitate.

So... I picked this up on the Cheap today from a local member that decided to stick with his Berg for now....

Now I am just waiting for Santa Freak to make a delivery!! "thumbsup"

Hoping to debut it at the iHobby demo and comp!!

My build thread starts HERE!!

Looks great. Do you think the ti links are tough enough to keep from folding in a bind? I've never used it, but a few of those bends are pretty big.

Now get it running..........

I assure you after bending these they will take the punishment.

The bender we built has a foot long bar for leverage and they were still tough!

We? Everyone knows if you built it would be be much, much nicer with precision and workmanship.

it would at least have matching bolts. :ror:

That would be an upgrade for the V2 edition.

Always loved these chassis'. Definitely watching this build... It'll be a tough call between the UGC MOA fastback and this I won't lie!

 

[blue10]

Aww.....CRAP! I just built a brand new V3 for the end of our Spring Season and Summer Shootout, then I got a bug up my ass that I needed a white one for Nationals, now this....? I'm gonna be three deep in these things before year is out!

Yea, yea, Jeremy, you're going to tell me that I don't have to buy one out of the first batch, but c'mon, look at the thing! How can I not?

Fantastic work again, Jeremy!

 

[meffie]

Wow looking great man!

 

[Hoppa]

Man, That shts HELLACOOL. I see something simular in my future."thumbsup"

 

[Harvo]

The build is looking very cool. "thumbsup"

Are you comfortable with the shaved down rod ends? I have done that in the past and broken one at the thin spot.

Also curious why you limited your shocks so much. Does the BJ chassis work better with shorter shocks?

 

[ol' gravy leg]

I got to fondle this rig over the weekend. The links are insane and super strong. I'm jealous.

The rod ends only have the top squared.. I think they will be fine. I have some on my berg that have almost wore through and they hold up just fine as well.

The chassis uses 4 inch shocks, just not all the travel they provide. I limit them to control the amount of articulation. The amount might change that is just what looked about right.

 

[kennyj]

Very nice! That v4 looks better everyday.

 

[ruffryder]

Any updates?
Ive wired up 2 FXR`s but want to see if you save any room with the stripped down micro pro`s "thumbsup"
