I see several guys running Epic's but the wheels can strip fairly easy if you are not careful. Or possibly plan to test alot of foams and/or tires.

The offset is a fairly attractive selling point for the 8-Shooters. They are pretty good wheels. They were the first set I bought.

I like my Eritex Comp Heavy's very much. I run Rover's white on them.

I had a set of Mayhem wheels that were very nice but not the offset I was looking for. I will own another set of Mayhem wheels sooner or later.

The 1" DNA wheels are nice wheels too. I run a set of Assassin's. I'm in the process of mounting up some Chizzy's to them as we speak.



Day late and a dollar short, huh? :wink:

You'll like the DNA wheels. The Berg offset is nice & narrow.

Thanks for input I was running around like crazy trying to get everything - motors was more difficult than i thought... That ended up driving the wheels decision.

Looks like FEDEX should driver most of it tomorrow / friday and I'll start a build thread.. :)

No word on the kamakasi / JPC bits

Arct1k 04.12.2009 06:14 PM

So far...

1. Axles clocked, greased and rebuilt...
2. Shocks rebuilt with end cap mod
3. Upper links mounted
4. Torsion and lower links are placeholders

Still waiting on
1) Myatomic order
2) KK links etc
3) JPC lockouts

That is going to be one sweet crawler when you are done Chris

rchippie 04.13.2009 12:53 AM

Chris your crawler is looking good . Im going to space my upper link like yours as well . Joe bruiser on RCC told me to space them about 5/8 for the FR & 1/4 for the RR . He runs the same chassis as i do A KK 4.0 .

Arct1k 04.16.2009 10:25 PM

Apologies for the crappy shots will get more when sunny!

Only missing the JPC rear locks but think I can comp with this...

I also picked up a KK ST chassis on sale so I can try torsion in rear to...

It certainly looks comp-worthy to me. :whistle: That chassis is real nice.

And I'm still waiting on my lockouts too. I think they may ship the first of next week. :yes:

Definately let us know how you like the torsion set up too. I've always been curious how it performs.

Here's why I mention it.

Although I have also seen the uppers spaced fairly wide in both directions on some pretty capable Berg crawlers.

Which blows the theory that getting as much triangulation as possible from the uppers & lowers in most instances isnt always the way to go. :neutral:

rchippie 04.18.2009 05:40 PM

Im only going by what joe bruiser said to do .

I understand. His trucks really do almost crawl upsidedown. :yes:

I'm just splainin' myself. I'm a whole numbers, straight line, same length, & square type guy. Anything that is out of whack/ off kilter really get's my head spinnning.

It's a disease. :oops:

Arct1k 04.19.2009 08:41 PM

Bitch set of three courses today but nothing broke and I got equal 4th lowest score...

Can't complain...

Bust an axle on the super and have a lot more work to do on it...

I'll measure but i think that am centered perfectly... off center would bug me to...

rchippie 04.19.2009 09:44 PM

Chris i notice your using the FR hole on your FR knuckles . Did you trim you KK H/C link so you do not have any toe out ?. I tried mounting mine in the FR hole & ended up with toe out .

Arct1k 04.19.2009 10:11 PM

Yes I had to trim the end and drill further in
