Well after trying to go full comp on a redcat rs10 and failing miserably

I took the plunge sold my ruslter and bought a set of bully's.

anyway here's the specs

rc4wd bully axles V4's direct from rc4wd
eem sng V1 chassis (thanks sng)
home made skid (thanks SNG)
used eem sng steering kit (thanks SNG)
cs170 (thanks tctz28 )
integy 35T lathe's (thanks Idnewcrwlr)
used Sidewinder ESC (thanks SNG)
CC BEC
SNG home built delrin links(thanks SNG)
rc4wd rocker dig
Lightly used Black rc4wd super narrows(thanks Idnewcrwlr)
white rovers
custom foams
1500 mah 3s mystery packs
proline bug body/Grappler body
DX3e

A big thanks to SNG for puttin this all together, cutting me killer deals on all the used parts, and convincing me that my redcat sucked even on 3s. Thanks to IDnewcrawlin for the good deal on the motors and wheels. and thanks in advance for the comments. I can't wait to get it done and get it on the rocks.

pics to come later.

slowngreen · 03-17-2010, 08:34 PM

landtortise89 · 03-17-2010, 09:58 PM

damn lloyd you work fast. I didn't expect pics so fast. so did you reuse the links from the redpuss? and i guess i'll be running droop in the front and sprung in the rear how's the flex? oh and did you reuse the skid that was on it before?

slowngreen · 03-18-2010, 08:16 AM

Yeah Im running low on extra stuff so I reused those parts. And not droop, just internal sprung on the front.

landtortise89 · 03-18-2010, 09:26 AM

no it's cool as long as it flexes good and performs well thats all i really care about. you've done so much as is.

IDnewcrwlr · 03-18-2010, 09:43 AM

damn straight you are gonna have to work twice as hard to beat the bully's. I can't wait to get it back from lloyd. I am going thru withdrawls for sure. oh and btw idnewcrawlin is you just miss typed.

an update. I picked up a CS170 from tctz28 and finally sold my redpuss also purchased a Rc4wd Rocker Dig just hope they are speedy with the shipping this time. LOL

lloyd if you have any new pics of the bully post them up.

landtortise89 · 03-30-2010, 07:56 AM

so i'll hope to get some new pics this weekend that is if my rc4wd rocker dig shows up that's all i am waiting for to finish this thing at least for now

heres a couple pics of my lid all painted up.

slowngreen · 03-30-2010, 11:21 AM

Im eager to see this dig in person as well as see it used. Should work good.

landtortise89 · 03-30-2010, 11:46 AM

Yeah i certainly hope so heard some good reviews on the beta versions

slowngreen · 04-01-2010, 08:08 PM

Here she is, got every thing buttoned up tonight.

The rc4wd dig seems to work pretty good. It seems loud to me though, just something that I noticed. With the tq3 antenna down so it would glitch, it kept clicking the dig but no biggy, pulled out the antenna. Definatly need to go 2.4 though imo.

slowngreen · 04-01-2010, 08:50 PM

Heres a quicky vid of it hitting the log.

landtortise89 · 04-02-2010, 06:54 AM

lloyd it's sick i can't wait to get it today. Man i am stoked. Btw the log vid is sick as hell i love it. looks like it might need a little wieght in the front wheels just a thought or maybe i'll just run it till i can get a lightwieght rear housing. thanks again man can't wait to get this thing on the rocks and out to the comps

slowngreen · 04-02-2010, 08:25 AM

Yeah Id prolly run some wieght up front too but thats all on you now, you gotta get used to it and make the little changes where you see fit

landtortise89 · 04-02-2010, 08:40 AM

yeah i even have a few wieghts to stick up front any suggestions on how much might be needed in the the front wheels?

slowngreen · 04-02-2010, 08:42 AM

Id just start off light, maybe 2oz per front wheel and that should be good, its already close to enough weight forward so you just need alittle bit.

landtortise89 · 04-02-2010, 09:03 AM

alright i'll try that when i get it back

landtortise89 · 04-05-2010, 08:01 AM

well i took delivery of my rig from SNG on friday and after the weekend i gotta say it's f'in awesome. i haven't found anything it can't or won't do. just amazing.

Well while having some full throttle fun in the front yard at my parents I ended up trashing my bug body. and you can't find them locally so i bought and painted a grappler.

heres some pics

decided that it did need some extra wieght in the front wheels so i added 2 oz to each wieght sits right around 6lbs 14oz with wieghted wheels
