Not much of a build thread but here's my Bully.

T1E Rockshow
104mm Zero shocks droop w/ TCS medium springs, 3/4" limiters
RC4WD Bully axles
Mayhem 7s
Chisel G8s stock memfoam w/ 1/4" hard foam slices in and out
Novak55s (subject to change)
Traxxas upper links, Berg rear lowers, Axial bent front lowers
Hitec645 (waiting for Santa to bring me a better one) RC4WD modified steering kit

Took the axles apart and locktited everything and lubed the gears. Going to start on the electronics once everything gets here. Made the body panels from a scx10 stock body ( the roof is from the roof, the hood is from the hood, the sides are from the bed) I like how its turning out but the test will be the rocks so we will see"thumbsup"
Thanks for looking

Thanks!

Started to make a dig unit for it but scrapped the idea and went ahead and ordered a PunkRC dig so looks like testing this weekend is out:cry:
On a side note the Kamikaze dig plate fits this chassis perfectly, bolt holes lined up and nestled exactly one bolt hole to either side of the cab standoffs...coincidence? You be the judge"thumbsup"

Got the Rooster Crawler mounted down in the belly (I know it's old school, but I never had had a problem with them other than the cell restriction). Mounted Kamikaze's dig plate and the rx, patiently awaiting the PunkRC dig and I'll be under way! I made a battery plate from an old Axial tray, I may change this later its a little high but room is limited. A few pics of where it sits now.

Thanks, I got some springs from Home Depot and it really stiffened the shocks up and helped tighten the articulation alot I hope it works, still waiting on the dig unit do I can test it:mrgreen:

Punk R/C came through with the dig switch and this product is just sick, I highly reccommend it to anyone running MOA needing a dependable, small, plug and play dig. So as soon as I finish soldering it starts to thunder, figures. Anyway, here's my Rockbully ready for rocks next to my 2.2 scale for size comparison. You can also see the flex from the new internal springs, that's max flex before the rear tire starts to lift, I'm sure it will break in a bit over time, but so far I'm pleased. Thanks for looking"thumbsup"
