| CRWLER1's Bully/Berg Skidz Review...
I have been working with Philip(CRWLER1) on releasing some Skidz that fit the Bully gear cases, after some measurements sent back and forth and some patience between he and I, the final product should be available from him VERY soon! If you are still using the Associated Chassis Protector I have to recommend you pass on their thin and weak product and get a set of these from CRWLER1~ You Get Skidz for your Motors(2) and your Axles(2). These Skidz are STOUT! At first, I thought "hmm, at this thickness it seems like I'm going to lose some axle clearance" BUT after installing them and running them, I actually FEEL like I have gained clearance! Instead of hearing the aluminum drag and scrape all along the rocks I hear nothing and dont feel the drag that I had come so accustomed to. The Skidz wrap up nice and high to prevent from being pulled off. The adhesive is very sticky and has a very strong hold to it, of course dont forget to clean your housings with an Alcohol prep pad or something of the sort. I used some Isopropyl Alcohol I had laying around that I use to clean lexan before paint work. I just cannot convey how SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE and ECONOMICAL this product is, after some hard use they have some "gouges" in them, but they aren't tearing and they aren't moving, just doing their job and sliding on the rocks! I would however recommend splitting the gear Skid down the case seam. This way when you need to relube or replace an axle or whatever, you dont have to peel off the Bully/Berg Skid. But, its up to you of course. Check the vendor thread for some pictures of them installed on the Berg cases. Great Product that is well worth the $ and the small amount of time it takes to install the Skidz. Thanks again Philip, Nathan Mobley |

Looks good. I felt that when you wore through your motor case it was just time for a new motor. I guess this could save you a few bucks. |
