I have started on the conversion to turn the berg into a outlaw. So far I have got all the long tubes. I also got my 3.2 Nova's ark dual stage foams today, I also got some 9t pinions, so hopefully I will have enough gear down.

So far the specs will be

Berg v2 with dual long sides
RW racing 9t mod .6 pinions
Racers Edge futaba servo horns
Dual or triple MKS HV300 servos
Rover whites, pinks or Sedonas
Novas Ark dual stage 3.2 foams
Custom Eritex 3.2, inch wide, 14mm hex rims
Custom DX6i pistol
Twin FXR
HH 35t
Titanuim upper links
Delrin lowers
HPI firestorm front shocks
Super 300s



Re drilled right side for for long tube


9t pinions

Nice. who will make the wheels for you.
I would love to know how you turned a dx6 into a pistol radio.
is your mod still capable of running the full 6 channels.

Eritex are making the wheels http://eritexinc.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index. I also think theres a bit of a build thread under electrical for the wheel 6i... adn yes you can use all 6 channels. He had me very seriously thinking about one late last year, but more important things have come up.

The wheels are being made by a fellow in the US who runs Eritex, jump on Rccrawler if you want to know more about him. BTW Jorgo they are made to look like vanquish V3 SLWs, but they flat out refused to make custom rims. Ah well Eritex did what I wanted so it doesn't really matter. Thanks for chiming in on the radio jorgo, yeah I have a thread on it in the electronics forum.

Sorry mate if i stole your thunder

Nah she's right I also got some 14mm hexs on order today.

Kieren

Updates? Or you run out of coin

So I'm guessing it'll be a twin plate chassis?

Cheers Pricey.

Veeeeeeeeery nice spec list

Nope I haven't ran out of coin, I just am waiting for the proto tester super 300s to be machined. I should order some HV300s though. I am not sure if I will run the 2.2 bodiless chassis or get a new one cut. The bodiless chassis is seriously out of proportion, but in a way it looks kinda cool, I'll post some pics soon.

Thanks Shorty

Kieren

x2


what sort of wheelbase ya lookin for?

Here are some VERY early mockups. So far it should be about a 16" wheel base with a 12.2" track width. Keep in mind that the foams don't accurately represent the final width and height of the tires. Also the chassis may not be final.





Kieren

Any updates? I've got the jeep runing but this is still a pile of parts Also those firestorm shocks are they they all alloy? If so where did you get them from?

Waiting for parts is the main reason this rig is not up and running. At the moment I'm still waiting on cvds and wheels. Also I have a new toy to play with. I got myself a F/E boat. 4s and brushless should go alright. Wonder if they have a RC section of bundy thunder Yeah the firestorms are completely alloy and I got mine on ebay.

Kieren

Been a bit quiet in here lately, just thoguht i'd liven the place up a bit

Still nothing to add. CVD's are still waiting on machinist I believe and wheels are still at anodizing. So who knows when this will be running. Off topic but I got my 4 cell lipos yesterday, now I just need some 4s balance leads for the balancer and I can run the boat.

Kieren

What batts did you get?

turnigy 5000mah 25c for $40 US a piece off HobbyKing. Better than paying $150 or whatever the local hobby shop would want! Just wish I knew if the charge leads where shipped. Pisses me off when ebay companies don't let you know if it is shipped or not!

Kieren

Thats pretty good, yeah i know what you talkngi about with the shipping .

My rims will hopefully ship tomorrow!! Look out for updates

Kieren

Wooohooo Finally I have my wheels. I have too say that Eritex has hands down the best CS I have ever delt with. And the rims where well worth the wait and money





More pics soon
Kieren

The 300s are finally out, so look out for some updates soon

Kieren

After a long wait I was informed I that my V2 super 300s and front axle will be on there way to me within a week

Kieren

Got my front axle back and 4 long side HR super 300s today Time to get this build rolling again! Look out for some pics soon, very soon. TCS will be getting some more money to soon!

Kieren

Put an order in to TCS and CKRC. Much as I dislike the second company they had rovers and berg 4th gears in stock, which TCS didn't. And I got lockers from TCS. I should have got some bearings but I still haven't made up my mind with them. Look out for updates sometime the week after next hopefully. Also I am working on the details of a new CrawlerX custom bodiless chassis.

Kieren

CKRC just reminded me why I DON'T order from them, sorry we are out of stock of 4th gears and it will be atleast a week

Kieren

Righto time to get this rolling again. I picked up a minature lathe this week and CKRC decided it was about time to ship my order. So look out for more updates soon. I got the lockers turned down today, so V2 owners there is another option for super 300s. Hopefully it will hold up, but if they hold up with 3.2s for me I think they should hold up for anyone with 2.2s. Also got one axle fairly well asembled. Servo mounts are next up.







Kieren

Hey Keiren, just wondering what the total width of those axles are between the outsides of the hexes?

I think it is a bit over 10" i think why do you ask?

Kieren

I'm still thinking that i'll be building an outlaw in the near fture, but i jsut want to suss out what the competitions doing

If I were to do this over i'd go with bullies, just cause of the price and inheret toughness out of the box. These have been money pits to get even close to bullet proof. And I still want super 300 gears when there out
