| Bully porn
and on with the bully porn- so far i have only rebuilt the rear. i detonated a bearing in the rear tube and going to have to wait for a new bearing. so i figure ill wait to do the fronts since im ordeing a new bearing kit and will save me some hassles and hopefully no more breaking of bearing on my part. so heres a few pics Rocking the Rc4wd bling-  mmm parts  cdw before swapping of parts  Much needed upgrade  Bearing destruction!   hopefully i can get the bearing kit in soon so i can get this finished up and out on the rocks |

its basic electricity flow, pretty much path of lease resistance is where the powers going to go, this has gotten rid of 99% of all clod stall i had previous and i like the 1% it still has lol. i think im running 16gage to the front and 12 to the rear. i havent finished with the front axle yet im going to tear into it now and also work on my steering look for pics soon |

I use the same gauge, but from my dig switch I run shorter wire to the rear than the front.  |

the Build looks very cool. How much weight did you cut? and what are you weighing now?Thanks, as I too am trying to build a lightweight Bully and trying to compare the weight. |

i got to get this steering figured out first lol. running into a snag need to play with how it all sits for a bit and see what i come up with. and there wont be a vid for a while i need a new bearing before i can do ne thing >_< and as for weight loss i have no idea as of yet the axles not on the truck yet. im guessing ill be sitting at right around 6.5 pounds-7 im running alum links and solid steel top links and need to go to a lightweight wheel
