|  Da Wicked Bull - Build Da Wicked Bull chassis by Double J Products Coming Soon I decided to go with mostly parts someone getting started or moving to the DWB chassis may be using. AX10 Axles Pede shafts STRC rear lockouts Metal yokes Proline Bead locks M2K's M3, Rock Claws, Moab's M2, PL Hammers M2 Mem. Foams Big bore shocks w/Losi white springs Axial trans 55t Lathe RR 12t pinion HS-5955TG HS-645MG servo (for dig) Rooster crawler Esc Airtronics mx3 radio This chassis is strong and compact  Made from 5051 Aluminum and is .125 thick. The skid and braces are made up from .375 +- derlin, the braces make a perfect spot for mounting elec's. Chassis came assembled and will be powder coated when it's released. Setup was quick and easy the skid comes blank so you can locate and drill for the tranny of your choice. The horns are adjustable only limited by your imagination. The only modification I made was to drill out a few holes to 9/64" on the horns to allow even more mounting locations. this allows the larger hardware from the braces to pass through the horns. After four packs through (8hrs of run time. These are the results: COG ~ A+ Side Hilling ~ A+ Vertical ability (Up/Down) ~ A+ Torque twist - non existent Chassis Twist (What chassis twist?!?!?!?!?) On to the pics : Chassis Shots:      Balance ?????? Hell Yea!!!!!! (Even with the monster pack )   Flex :   Last edited by 666; 09-29-2008 at 07:50 PM. Reason: fix pics |

Looks good! The chassis seems a bit more compact than the DaBull. I am pretty happy with mine....and I as well, like those chassis braces!

| Da Wicked Bull - Action shots
I couldn't wait to run this rig  So here are some action shots before the lid.           Ok time for updates: I extended the rear link setup .50" and shortened the front .50" to stay with in spec 12.25" WB. I also dropped in the Rooster Crawler ESC, swapped out the front springs for Losi white springs and picked up a JConcepts Gate crasher Body. This Chassis does perform Great. Fantastic LOW C.O.G. The only other change I made was moving the shock mounting point forward one hole on the horns (To maintain ride height with the softer springs) With the new lid:       Vid: http://good-times.webshots.com/video...00130556fNBwuR http://good-times.webshots.com/video...00130556LzXcbQ http://good-times.webshots.com/video...00130556MVFIBs http://good-times.webshots.com/video...00130556rJlQXT Last edited by 666; 09-29-2008 at 07:52 PM.

| Da Wicked Bull - Build
August 17Th was the official hard core test at a comp. The chassis performed just as I was expecting................. Freakin' Awesome  First place with the virgin run at a comp The courses were brutal as always and this setup walked through the first 6 of 10 gates on course #1. Gate 7 was a major drop into a hole, the rig went in righted itself and continued to climb out. Gates 9-10 there was another drop off. To avoid a reverse penalty I backed down and through the last two. This chassis is unbelievable !!! To summarize the performance up/down/ off camber This chassis is extremely predictable I can't think of any needed changes in the setup that are needed This tells the story of the day   |

I think it is bullshit Double J has time to hook you up with a chassis after all the people here on RCC have outstanding deals with him, and you pimp it here. Real classy.  |

My job was to built it run it though it's paces and stress test it. My history with him has been cool and he's treated well. If you've got beef it's not with me. I'm just another RC crawling guy trying to win some comps All I know is this chassis gets an A+ a far as I'm concerned.

Chassis and set up good. Not sure how to think about this. I'd me pissed if I was one of the guys he owes and saw this. But then again, maybe he needs this to help pay everyone back. If his broke and doesn't have the money to pay back. Maybe just maybe this will help get everyone paid back. |

I don't care if he had offered me a dozen chassis', there is absolutely no way I would be on here pimping his stuff if I knew(as do you), that he has screwed over many, many people. | |

| Do these pictures show torque twist? Why is the wheel in the air? If it had no torque twist, all the wheels would be planted on the rock right? Matt |

The wheel is in the air because on those pics the right/rear - left/rear wheel is in a hole.

Guys, Ease up on DRCMAN...He was offered a tester back in February. He has had it since then for testing. Don't flame his build because of other issues with JJ. If you want to flame JJ, go to his post and do it. DRCMAN is just posting a build. Thanks Last edited by Rckcrwlr; 09-30-2008 at 11:05 AM. |
