|  Any sort of breakage with the bully's?
ive been reading around and haven't heard of any breakage with these axles. is that true? wondering how the axles, gears, housings, bearings etc hold up to hard abuse. thanks guys randy |

I drive hard, without regard for the equipment, it's either comin' up out of the hole, or going back to the pits; so far, the bullies are holding tough. knock on wood. |

only thing ever broken on mine was outside of the axles themselves, once the upgraded knuckles and tubes are on, its bulletproof

With the v4 stubs they are pretty tough, i havent heard of anyone breaking one in normal use. With letshandleit's inner axles they are a tank, i pitched mine tumbling down a 30 foot hill, shattered a servo, broke open an esc and snapped 2 lower links but the axles walked away unharmed.

They are very strong axles especially if you put the axles letshandleit makes in them. The only breakage I ever had was the top link mounts. I broke 2 of them off. Made some new ones out of 3/8 delrin sheet and they will never break again.

I broke the skin on both shins letting it fall into me from 4 and 6ft. Bullys had no harm.
