|  caster
I'd like to change the caster without clocking the axle, are there any products out there to this end?

Not for a bully because the "c" is made to the axle tube. Axial can do it because the "c" slides onto the axles tube so it can be rotated.

I rotated the axle back about 10 degrees...the steering is MUCH better but the motor is way to low. I'm going to switch it back and dig, dig, dig Quote:

IDE say krakker was the first. I just took his idea and made it work with mostly stock parts. If I owned a lathe and a small mill IDE definitely offer this as a service. It would be so easy with the right tools.

If you have access to a CAD, you could make a completely new aftermarket kit. We have a great machine shop here in Albuquerque that would happily do this sort of work and still give you a good resale margin. clarkmachining.com if you don't have CAD, I'm sure they can reverse engineer it for you. |

It would be nice to bring more options to the bully line but I'm not the person for that. I don't have cad nor the funds to invest in getting a kit going. I've never ventured downn that road but I'm sure it's more than I can afford. Besides if I were to go that route I think krakker's idea would be more successful. Just a matter of cost and demand which I don't think there is enough of.

romulus22....nice job.  I was going to clock my axle tubes, but the I would have had to redo the steering servo mount.  Were these Axial XR-10 C-hubs?? |

Just so you know if you wanted to run XR10's you'd have to run the knuckles too, then your into bearing issues with the bully axles.
