KAMIKAZIE 4.0 berg build

[rchippie]

Im thinking of getting a BERG crawler & a KK customs 4.0 chassis. Can i use the stock rod ends & stock upper links on the KK customs 4.0 chassis or do i have to get the revo ends ?.The KK customs 4.0 chassis comes with bent lower links, so the stock ones are not needed .

You should be able to use stock rod ends and your stock uppers w/ that chassis. The upper's may or may not be the length you need though.

The KK lowers will needs rod end's installed unless you can talk Jeff into doing that. Well worth it.

I used some oversized HPI rod ends and didnt really like them. The Revo "pushrod" ends that go to the rockers would probably work best though.

Are you considering the high or medium clearance delrin lowers?

Jeff suggested i might like the HC links , since i wont be competing . Are the revo rod ends the same size as the stock rod ends ?.

I still have some stuff to get but i got the following stuff . No lockouts at this time because i dont know which ones to get . I still have to decide what tires & wheeels. Im thinking mayhem engineering 7's or comp double fatty's ( with removable weights) or vanquish revolver wheels (with removable weights). As for the tires im thinking panther with the soft foam or the HB revolvers. I will be getting the new proline bug 1/0 crawler when it is released in a couple of weeks . What do you think about these lockouts ?.

I run fubar lockouts on my Hot axles. I'd definatly go the JP route if I had berg's. Nothing against fubar. They are great and do what they are suppose to. I really prefer the look of the JP lockouts.

I got a Fubar crawler stand from John too.




My Mayhem 7's with Rover's. Before I sold the wheels.

I orders this morning so im hoping today . Joe bruiser on rctech sugessted the panthers with the soft white foam & not the memory foam. Ha also sugessted the fubar lock over the jpcustoms . He said there is less chance of snagging . The 4.0 looks great .
