Dani's Chaotic Berg V1

Hi there -

it's 2012 now and the first Comp is in 2 weeks, so I have to go forward with my 2012 Comp rig. It will be a Berg again; the chassis is - as it should be for an Chaotic Teamdriver - the new Chaotic Special and the result of some very good discussions at the last Comp in Utah is, that I'll work a bit closer together with D-Lux; so this is the reason to place some of Eric's Custom Parts in my Berg.

I don't know all the facts at the moment, but I built the chassis right now :rir3:



For all the axle tests I have a prepared BJ V4.2 Carbon TE and will test everything with that; so I can figure out what's happen and can always compare with my 2011 Comp rig (this is for sale a bit later than).

So be prepared, the show must go on...

regards

Dani

 

J'ai deux BJ V4,2 Carbon; une est mon Rig 2011 (le bleu) et une est la chassis pour essayer/tester toutes les choses 2012; si toutes les choses nouveau sont bien, je transferrer en Chaotic; ça veut dire pour mois, je peut aller avec le 2011 rig et parallel avec le 2012 (avec le même chassis'); le meilleur veut accompagner mois chez les Comps 2012...

Et le 2011 (complet) et le BJ V4,2 Chassis (le test-rig 2012) on peut acheter dans quelques instants.

regards

here we go; it's easier for me to do it in English; je m'excuse :yeah3:


First I'm going on with the rear axle; here the Stock Berg axle; used but in good condition:



as you all know, we cannot build a crawler anymore without using a scale; so here we go:

Stock gears all together:



58 gramms


then my way 2012, 300-er 3-rd and 2-nd Gear, Chromoly Pins and Alu 4-th from RC-Bros:



only 44 Gramm; that's 14 gramms less and much more bullet-proofment :yes3:

then the gear case Stock:



47 gramms (0.8 gramms dirt is included)

then after a bunch of time with milling, Dremel and handcrafted optimizing:



only 34 Gramm; less 13 gramms again :yes3:

then the axle tubes and the linkmounts; stock:



85 gramms

I'm using the Delrin axle tubes from D-lux and the Link mounts too; all made of Delrin:



together only 34 gramms; 51 gramms less and much more possibilties of variation :daumen:

then I can go ahead with mount all the stuff:

gear assembled, but last time grease-free:



oh, the upper link mount is missing; first Stock:



9 gramms
and the D-Lux one; nearly double as tall, much more possibilties to play with:



9 gramms too; but:



better to use, so the weight is ok :yes3:

lets go:

all the D-Lux parts are a quit good quality and easy to mount:







mounting the pins and the Hex:



and then checking the weight of the assembled axle within the motor:



393 gramms; not bad for a berg axle :yes3:
