For a while now I have been wanting to get into Rock Crawling.

About a month ago I actually bought an Axial AX10 and a Goat Brushless System, but before I had a chance to even open the box, I changed my mind when I saw the Enroute Berg 2.2

So I placed an order for on from Japan, the idea is, if it’s good, I might start importing them in and sell @ RC NUT

Anyway, the Berg arrived today, and after a stung of £80 by customs, I got to admire how beautiful and well machined it is .. for about 30 minutes .. I then had to re-package it and send it to a buggy of mine for some milling (doing some alterations to it to make it even better at competition level)

So I was left with no Berg once again, except for the wheels .. I decided (after some forum digging and advise) to go with some M3 Badlands, after mounting one, I cant believe how great they look .. it’s Bling, Bling to the max, but well worthy it.

Now I cant wait for the Berg to come back so I can finish the build

I also got 2 Spark 1000 Brushless Motors and 2 ESC’s .. I will be setting those with the Nomadio sometime this weekend.

Well, my new blade server is running at Hosting365

I’m quite pleased, even so the server is in Ireland, ping times are in the low 30ms regions, here are a PING test from my location

64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=7 ttl=56 time=33.289 ms
64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=8 ttl=56 time=34.724 ms
64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=9 ttl=56 time=33.542 ms

Now here is my ping test to a site in a Manchester datacenter (30 miles away from me)

64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=0 ttl=56 time=29.258 ms
64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=28.759 ms
64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=27.768 ms

So, thanks for 365’s superb peering, it’s only 4-6ms more .. amazing ..

I have been doing some testing to the server for a few days now, nothing had broken and lagged down, so far, it’s all gree, I am hoping to start moving my Live sites to it this weekend, here are some specs:

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel

Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz

Processor #1 speed: 2332.701 MHz

Processor #1 cache size: 4096 KB

Memory: 1031608k/1048576k available (2081k kernel code, 16072k reserved, 868k data, 220k init, 131008k highmem)

And the best !!

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 7.7G

fas940head4:/vol/nas0/rcnlnas0 10GB

The first Volume suppose to be 10GB, but not a problem at the moment, can easily be changed later on when I need it, thats of course the root drive in the HP EVA system, the second is a backup drive NFS volume, with it’s own network interface … cant beat that
