had the same problem with my locker, i put a small ring(1/16in) of fuel tube between the outter and inner shaft and it took up the slop

Does anyone have pics of what are you talking about ? i'm in the middle of a build, i've installed a straight axle in the rear, do i still need to address a potential problem ?

HUUURRRR HURRRRRR!!!!!!!! I beat you in a drag race!!!

Truck looks really good man! How did you get yours so clean? I seem to be suffering from a bad case of crappy electronic placement :-(

rednck21 · 02-07-2009, 10:41 PM

i think your ok if you have the straight axles. i swapped the axial stubs over and thought i didnt need the o rings. wrong! the o rings in the cups should take care of the problem. that reminds me...ive still got to put them in the front

Exactly, thats why I didnt get that 3s today... Its like a 9yr old hyped up on mountain dew... Id be all on the rocks like a spyder monkey

finally got the rear back together. this CKRC lockout kit is very nice! it shaved .7 oz of weight off the rear end. the only problem i ran into was i had to shorten the short side shaft about 1/16". other than that minor problem its a great kit!

rednck21 · 02-24-2009, 09:23 PM

i managed to get a 2nd and 3rd place finish at the first two RCA comps this year

im really liking this whole berg fad...hopefully it will last awhile

most of the parts are in the mail for another Zero T build, so stay tuned.....

nice crawler blaine, im building a berg right now allmost the exact same as yours

TLTRyan · 02-25-2009, 10:16 AM

Looks good. Truck is working great. If you can find some Berg ball ends they fit in the Losi shocks so their is no need for fuel tubing.

How do you like the panthers vs rovers??

broncoholic · 02-25-2009, 04:13 PM

What is the belly clearance on your set up?

thanks Ryan. actually, i did use the berg ball ands with the rubber o rings after you recommended i should do it a couple weeks ago. it does seem to be a little smoother...and better looking.

as for the tires....the rovers seem to have a little more forward bite than the panthers...especially on med. to low traction surfaces. the rovers dont side hill as well as the panthers do. the lack of sidehill ability cost me a gate at the last comp:neutral:im still playing with the foams on the panthers though...

3" with the panthers and 3 1/8" with the rovers.

it helps with the axle swing. maybe someone can explain it a little better??
