|  Berg or Bully
I am looking to either buy or build a berg or bully and want to know peoples thaughts on which one is better and why. I don't know much about either one except what I have seen at some comps. I am fixin to hand my mini losi down to my kids and want to build me a new one or find a good used one. Thanks for the help everybody on here always seems to have great input on things.

They both have their pros and cons. I have been running my bullys (both 2.2 and Super) for quite some time with good success. The only parts I have broken were pins on the super.....nothing on the 2.2. If you do plan to build a berg, I would just buy the stock housings (tubes and cases) and buy the rest aftermarket.....if you plan to build a bully, just stick with the stock stuff.

there is way more info here on rcc than you can absorb. but best thing is simply search n read,search n read,and then search n read some more. as I recall from reading up on it is that one of the issues with the bully is room for links/motors. also weight with the cast housings and turning radious I think aswell. but there is a thread here somewhere that covers it all. | |

Yeah, the cast housings are heavy, but with the new machined aluminum housings, the axles are MUCH lighter. My rig has plenty of turning...although I run the front a bit wider than most. With a bit of dremmel work, anyone can clearance their knuckles and tubes for excellent steering. | |

And there is a vendor selling delrin rear tubes also now I think for most it just comes down to what they can afford at the time. Picking up a set of Bullys is a lot cheaper than Bergs. Or you can just wait for the new Axial, but that is a whole other can of worms!  | |
