| Ok, received my axles last week and stated building...I mocked up a KK chassis first and found the Bully 2s dont like narrow set ups..so I took my daughters Beetlejuice..SHAFTY and removed all the axial stuff and fit all the Bully 2 axles under it...all that is left to do is disassemble and locktite the axles...and change the shock oil.. I tested it tonight on my backyard course and it seemed to do good,but needs some test and tune time.. BY THE WAY....this is set up as a novice rig for my 10 year old daughter so NO dig in this rig..you can see the build up of the SHAFTY in the ax section..so hear you go....Mamba Max,2 55 tekin motors,HS-5955 servo,Losi MRC receiver and transmitter,2100 3 cell lipo,axial wheels with panthers,losi 4" shocks with white springs ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by CRAWLER-DAD; 06-16-2009 at 06:54 PM. |

| well it seems when i built it on the KK chassis(i dont know which one) by the time i spaced out the shocks and bottom links to clear during flex...it was as wide as my daughters rig..I tried !!! really I tried!!! |

| Thats pretty common on the bullys. Spacing them out is the price you pay for 8mm wide gears in the gearbox. Look good. |

| alright...took it out tonight and let the daughter drive it...i refrained from taking the controller out of her hands so i could see how it crawled.. She loved it and I didnt even drive my rig..I let my son drive it with the rule that he was not to use the dig..thay played follow the leader and all i did was direct them to some lines and with a sharp pair of eyes...watch the Bully 2s KICK ARSE Very impressed how they did..mind you i set this rig up with NO DIG..as this is a novice rig for my daughter..im running tekin 55s on 11.1 3s lipo.. the wheel speed was good and the torque even better..the mamba max was great and the panthers twisted up well with traction..would like to show video but have no idea how to get the cell phone video to post up...anyone wants to help i will text you the vid so you can help.. anyways...my daughter liked the bully 2s compared to her previous ax10 running gear..and so was I going to keep teaching her to use the "clod stall".. and teaching her to control her steering.. Thanks again to RC4WD for offering these axles at the price they did...it gave me the opportunity to build my daughter a MOA that not evrybody has(right now).. NOW RC4WD just need some fancy stickers to display whats under the PINK BEETLEJUICE..hint hint nudge nudge |

| OK...just an update.... we have run 10 2100 packs thru it and let a gaggle of guys drive it at my last GTG.. had great reviews with the way it crawled...and even Kolby..said he liked the way the panthers worked...(see kolby Panthers do work) !!! with all this running I have had only a couple of issues which i believe are just inherent with MOAs.. 2 loose steering knuckle bolts....just reapply locktite and problem fixed rear motor got pushed into gear mesh..readjusted and works great one lock nut on the wheel hub stripped out..replaced it..all ok now!! and the Beetlejuice chassis has held up to many high falls....with only minor scratches all in all...looking forward to the season to start here to see how my 10 year old daughter does with this amazing novice rig.... thanks to Jeremy..chassis kicks butt thanks to RC4WD for great Bully 2 axles.. and thanks to the sponsors of the AZ shootout..for donating a Mamba Max ESC...that my daughter won and is using in her crawler |

| Yup, those are pretty common. Eventually the knuckles will settle down a little but keep your 2mm or 3mm hex driver in your pocket anyway just in case. Also a nut driver to keep the wheels tight. |
