|  Xtant's 2010 '09 Comp Rig Well as I stated in my Axial build thread I am usually a little behind the times so I figured I would try and catch up with this build  Having watched some very impressive MOA setups dominate the HRCC and then see quite a few more added this season I figured it was the way to go. The RC4WD Bully's always looked impressive but then seeing some of the issues with the early production runs I was hesitant? I looked at Berg's but I guess the timing just was'nt right as I had other R/C's to spend money on :-P Anyways after reading about the Bully's V3 axles being a good improvement over the previous versions I decided to make the leap and order a set of Bully Axle's  Took around 2 weeks to get them in  But they do say Note: This is a special product #, please allow 4-8 business days to ship your order.I think the packaging must take atleast a day  |

| First thoughts were that they feel Solid! Next was that they look even better in person Original plan was to use the 2.2 Hustler I recently got from my Buddy Ronbeck After getting some links made and mocking things up it was clear that I was not going to be able to use the Hustler :-(Gearboxes are just a bit to wide |

So I was going to use my MFM Black Widow  But had some concerns about it being a little to narrow Went looking in the For Sale section and came across a KK 3.5 being sold by Desert Rc. PM'ed him but I was to late as he sold it already. But lucked out as he had a KK 4.0 so I picked that up from him! ThanX Again!I did'nt have any 4" shocks so used the stock Axials to mock things up when I got the KK 4.0 in. Link and shock clearance is at minimum with these axles Last edited by Xtant3150c; 04-23-2009 at 05:42 AM. | |

| Wow, sounds like you have a collection of chassis stashed in your tool box. Good thing IMO .The 4.0 looks the better though. I am rooting for that build.  |

the KK 4.0 has won the right to be "The Chassis" for the Bully's Quote:
Have to agree even after looking at pics and other Bully builds I was also surprised when I got them in my hands  Quote:
It is closer to be finished then this build thread is showing so far I think the ride height with the Axial shocks was around 3.5"s or so? In it's current setup it is a little low at 2.5"s. I need to try and find some springs to get it around 3.0"s. I picked up some Ace's Donuts (Mahalo's Rizzo) and also bought some Proline G8 Chisels. Had them before I had the Bully's :-P Man these things are Bumbucha's They are mounted on Proline 8-Shooters. They were chrome with silver rings but I painted them flat black. | |||

 :-P Figured most of the MOA setups I have seen have been running the newer, bigger tires so it must be the way 2 go Got the Bully's mounted up with the KK 4.0. After checking out Kamikaze's '09 Komp Rig Build Thread Kamikaze's '09 Komp Rig Build Thread I was glad to see that I would be able to use my REVO GTR's It's a pretty tight fit but nothing is rubbing to bad to cause any issues so far?Weather is not cooperating  but going to try and get it wired up today just so I can run it around the house Still need to see if my micro servo works then try and setup the dig switches? | |
