RC Bros Rear 4 Link Mounts for BERG V1
Above is our brand new rear 4 link mount specifically designed for the Berg V1 Axles!
With this mount your links will be mount in true center of the axle unlike the factory mount. Adjustability is now at the hand of the builder, with 5 different height locations and 3 different horizontal locations you can now fully tune your suspension!
PLEASE NOTE:
These mounts are not a direct fitment to most existing berg setups.
Custom links will most likely need to be made to accommodate your rig.
As you clock the axle, the mount will rotate backward. Links may require
unique bending to accommodate the chassis you are running.
Understanding the changes that occue to ones rig will help when it
comes to tuning ones rig. Below are a few helpful tips to consider when
building.
Link Lengths:
The upper link length controls the axle clocking, the longer
the link the more the axle clock will increase with suspension travel,
assuming your uppers are longer than the lowers. Since we don't have
pinions, it keeps the motor up and out of the way. The truck does feel
more predictable with long upper links as it provides less movement in
the axle and reduces the amount of clocking that can occur when
compressed. A shorter link will do quite the opposite.
Vertical Seperation:
Shortening the vertical separation (distane between) between
the uppers & lowers on the frame mount side will increase Anti
Squat (rear rises) while increasing the vertical separation will do
the opposite. This is assuming all else remains the same.
What is Anti Squat?:
When a crawler accelerates, the weight shifts rearward. The
higher the weight is above the ground, the greater the shift off the
front and onto the rear will occur. This extra weight will compress the
rear suspension, making it SQUAT. But there is also a torque on the
rear axle, equal and opposite of the tire torque. The axle will try to
rotate upward. The links resist this torque by putting forces into the
frame. These forces may try to lift upward. The upward force will
cancel some of the squat from the weight shift, euqally ANTI-SQUAT.
