Jeepsohigh's T1e Berg. "Mr D Sanchez"

[jeepsohigh]

I have been driving this comp rig for quite a few months now but I have just not taken the time to do a build thread. At Crawlapalooza I had some folks asking me about the rig so I figure I would post up. I did take lots of pics along the way tho​

Rick at Sniperfab did some Bridgeport magic to the berg cases, link mounts and gears​

Milled the motor mounting service ​

Case rounded​

Front bolt taken off​

Case cut in between the bearings​

Gears drilled​

Upper link mount fluted​

Case was sandblasted​

I picked up some J-Fab hexes for the front. (CKRC on left and J-fab on right)​

I tucked the antenna inside the case​

I had to do some grinding on the knuckle weights to work with the RCbro big bearing knuckles​

The left one is stock and the one on the right has been ground​

CJJeepman hooked me up with some sweet inside skins.​

This rig has worked well for me and is only limited by my poor driving decisions. (Right Louis?)​

My One good finish​

Nice build and grats on the fourth place finish. How did you get your hands on the coveted t1e ss? lol

You sure drove it well last weekend at Crawlapalooza. You kept on telling me your scores after you'd finish a course and I knew that you would be in the top 5 for sure. I can't wait for the next time. Until then, peace out my homie :mrgreen:
