|  Dorkstar Bully ST Time to play with a new comp rig! I had to order some V3 Bully's for a customer, and RC4wd has a minimum quantity of 4 for every item, so I had some extra Bully's laying around. Figured I'd build up a 'state of the art' ride to bash on! - HPI Bug - Bully V3's w/ Associated Skid material - Vanquish DH's + Slugs - Kamikazi Zero ST with high-clearance links, dyed 2 shades of blue. - Roadtech 3.5" shocks in front. - Maxamps 2200 3-cell Lipo - 14T 400 Cobalt motors, 9 tooth pinions, HH motor adapters - Chisels with 2-stage foams, fronts cut - (2) Mamba maxes, soon to be replaced with FX-R's - Castle BEC - Hitec 7955TG - Axial uppers in blue, traxxas black hardware everywhere. Some pics so far. Nothings been routed properly yet- just mocked up for testing! 3.65" Belly, might lower it a bit. Or not!       Thanks for looking!

| Thanks~! I'm not too worried about the cobalts, as long as I drive responsibly. It's pretty darn fast with the 14T's on 3Cell... I'll try not to get them too dirty.  |

| Nice I like what you've done so far. Thats a very clean looking rig. You chose to use high quality parts, and that always pays off in the long run. Keep us posted. |

| Nice setup and good list of parts. My ST works perfect for me. Best chassis i have ran to date. I am at 3 3/8" belly clearance with medium links. Works pretty good at that height. Could be a hair lower. I like your chassis color as well. |

| I had my first Comp (and run!) with the Bully. Loved it, but unfortunately the aluminum motor adapter plates I was using stripped out, causing the gear mesh to fail on every course. I'll be switching to regular Lathe motors to avoid that problem in the future! Other than that, I loved the chassis and the axles. Can't wait to get more time on them! |

| Rig looks sweet! What kind of servo horn is that? I'm looking for one like that where the arm is closer to the servo. |
