Another Berg build.
To make a long story short.
I bought an Berg v3, an bult it with Reptile chassis. vas a bit disappointed with the construction and weight. Found Dravpnir's thread and was amazed.
I decided i rebuild the whole thing.
Started to cad up the axles. Printed some gearboxes. bought axle tubes and gears from Dravpnir. Ordered som Dlux axles and hubs.
Problem i had with the printed gearboxes was that bad tolerances on the prints. gearbox covers was weak. after many hours of work. i was so mad at them so i actually almost bought new axles.
But i thought ill give them one more shot. So i got some G10 gearbox covers for my gearboxes, and it feels so much better. So ill give them a test this weekend we have 6 hours of crawling ahead of us, if it breaks the some vendor i the states can have some money from me. I don't have so many pictures of the build process but posting some the current state.
