It looks nice so far. What body are you going to use on it and will it be a full body or one that's with like 2 inch body mounts or less and cut to fit the stick right? You know those ones that are sliced to hell that don't have hardly any body left on them because the owner wants the body on 2 inch or less body posts and wants tons of clearence. Lol.

oyah thare is a rig thare. jk look good man. what tire are those axial??
i jest boght a set of the new hpi rock grabbers for my rig and a bec. jet how do u wire them.( i trush u guy) so its right the 1st time

[jetboat]

tires are Hammers, dont know if they are there to stay or not but they are what I had so I mounted them to the rims.

Body at this point will be a cut to hell bug, going for absolute min specs.

BEC is really easy to wire, red wire to the positive of the battery plug, black to the neg side of teh battery plug then plug it into the battery port on the receiver. You will want to cut/disco the red wire leading from your esc to the receiver as that is the BEC wire. The directions it comes with are pretty decent.

A proline rockstar should clear better but it won't roll over easy like bug bodies can. I've had a few different bodies on mine. The factory betty body which I hacked all up, a rockstar which I cut the back end off , 2 proline 1980 chevy k-5 bodies and 2 losi grapplers. The rockstar preformed the best but it doesn't look realistic like grapplers do so I tossed it out. I think when I get a new body it will be a single cab jpcustom truck body. They seem to look like they have more clearence than grapplers do.

Jetboat those older bug bodies with the chopped and channeled tops on them look like they would be the best. Some guy that was at the lhr comp had one on his frame. It was a darker color.

Jetboat when do you think you'll have your stick done? I wanna see pictures of it when it's done. I bet there's very few people with a bully comp stick right now.

Maybe this weekend... I spent an hr last night working on a servo bracket for the steering only to throw it out because I decided it was too weak. I am being very very picky on this truck. Ill actually be redoing the shock mounts once I get all the bugs worked out, just because I think I can make them better.

I know of 1 Bully stick in existance and 2 Bully canes.

I could care less about looking scale with this truck, Im going for all out pushing the limits and NOT breaking.

[4x4allstar]

If it took you months to set it up right then it would be worth the wait to have the ultimate 12.5 2.2 crawler.

[jetboat]

Another hour down the drain... I milled the servo mount out perfect for a hs645mg but too small for the JR8711. Im going to stop by the hardware on the way home tomorrow and pick up some 1/8" L... this 1/16 just wont cut it.
Anyone want a servo mount?

[addictedtonitro]

You need anymore 1/8" flat Jeff? I have 1 more of the peice I gave you plus we just got a 4'x4' section in I could probably misscut a couple pieces out of lol

Plus if you ever need 1/4" I got gobbs of it. What you need, 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7" we got it all over laying in scraps everywhere lol. We get each size in 20' sections usually like 2 or 3 at a time.

[jetboat]

IM good on the 1/8" flat, Bob hooked me up with a couple of huge sheets! I could use some of that 1/4" You need to get an axial so I can set you up with some parts in exchange.

The material I need to pick up at the hardware is 1/8" angle, I usually have some in stock but, Im currently out.

[addictedtonitro]

Bob gotta go and out do me lol. What width do ya want? I'll bring it to the meeting

3'x5' should do nicely . I havent forgoten about that WK BTA, I just havent figured out a way to make it from flat stock so that it can be mass produced. I may just make 1 for you and 1 for me and call it.


worked for another 2hrs on a servo mount, first version I made tonight was off 1mm so I junked it and started over. Finally got a version I like but, I missed on the mounting holes by about 1mm but I said screw it and drilled them out.

Bully looks familiar Looks great, I'd move those links closer to the back bone though. It will cut down on the axle steer when flexing.
