measure the distance between the front and rear wheel axles on center.

which model is it? brave? bull? start? ect.

most of the bergs were using the 535mm bodys. but some, like the start used the shorter bodies.

Thats a good question. I have no idea what model it is.. it has the boss motor and when i measure it was 20 1/5 inches from middle of axle to other middle of axel...which turns out to be 520.7mm

ok, then i would say the 535mm body is what you want. i think the small ones are 485mm. the 535 will allow for a bit of adjustment. just be sure to get the body centered over both front and back wheels before you punch your body mount holes.

post a couple pics of it, perticularly the front end setup (suspension/shocks, radio plate area and rear end. i can prolly tell you what it is.

berg was working on a 2speed when they sorta went titz up.

but i think most any good FG 2 speed should be able to be adapted as the general sizes of the items are the same between FG/Berg. ie Layshaft (spur shaft) and cb stem and bell setup ect.....
