My 3rd Bully2... but RTR this time...

[noname0383]

Couldn't ignore the fact RC4WD was releasing the first RTR comp crawler since... ever!?!
So ordered one without any hesitation, since i love so much my 2 others Bully2 comp rigs...

Some more pics of the rig itself...





The beautiful chassis


Nice wheels and tires



RTR with a 3s 850mah lipo

Since this rig isn't dedicated to hardcore crawler guys but this is for ''the person that wants to get into comp crawling... and really will only need to upgrade as he gets better...'' or just leave it this way, bone stock...

So i wanted to run this rtr crawler completly stock, straight out of the box...

Only things i did was relocate the motors wire on the upper links and vented the tires... NOTHING ELSE WAS DONE...!

So this is my first video of the bully2rtr stock:

Some more tests done, still completly stock... Only pics this time...

[noname0383]

A couple more...






And my ugly me...

[tapped-out]

I watched the video earlier today, rig looked good on the rocks. Rig seemed to be a little jerky (drag brake and throttle?) and springy (shocks). Nothing that can't be turned out.... Maybe it was just me..

Hey i noticed the knuckle weight picture on the box...
Are KW included?

As i said, I did nothing on this rig except put a lipo in it and go... So no calibration as been perform and no setup of any kind... So yes, the rig isn't that smooth out of the box, a bit too prime, but that's an easy fix ;) Probably a Tx setting!
As for the shocks, they are quite smooth but have no oil out of the box... A springs kit is included for better tuning and yes I recommend some 30wt-40wt shocks oil for a start...

No knuckles weight included... The box just showing some available upgrades, like KW, 8-degree chub/knuckles, etc...

But the rig seems to be quite well balance stock but yes, KW will help for break over...

It's great to see the platform is a solid foundation to build the Comp Crawling hobby for new MOA drivers.

[noname0383]

Yes it's the best way for new moa enthusiasts to get in the game...

The bully2 rtr is a "grand public" version, that intended to introduce those who have never dared to build a comp crawler, by fear of the unknown, lack of budget or knowledge, etc...
Those who want a rig with which they will be able to have fun immediately but also knowing they have a solid base, easily upgradable without having to replace everything or sell outright their rig to purchase a more capable one...
The biggest ''issues'' on this rig are setup issues and won't cost a penny to do but will improve greatly the handling and performances of the Bully2 rtr!

As you could see in the video, bully2rtr rolls out of the box, just plug a lipo and GO !!! It's an easy way to have fun and have a good rig and discover all the pleasure of running a comp crawler without all the head-cracking that often comes with such high-level rigs ...

Obviously, not everything is perfect ... It would be too good, too easy and too expensive Part of the fun of comp crawler comes from tuning ...
On this point, absolutely nothing major, just enough to have fun ... And above all, nothing expensive!

So basicaly, RC4WD did an awesome job with this rtr rig...

Setting up the bully 2 will be simple enough, soon as some of the team drivers get a few packs in these killer rigs.. A few videos would go a long way. A initial inspection/pre- run video, shock tuning video, electronic clean-up/relocation and battery choice video, quick maintenance after run video, video explaining Upgrades.
I think would help newbies out greatly.
I probably will never own one of these rigs (because i already own a berg). However I'm excited to see how well guys do with this new rig...

[noname0383]

Indeed... And if you are looking in this Rc4wd Bully section, couple of experience guys already began very good build thread with pictures of their mods... cboggs, douwe...

New rig means new shirt... I'm such a fashion victim

Thx again RC4WD for dresssing me

[Xtacy33]

I'm 6 months into scale crawling and came around at a great time as I got my hands on a scx10 2 and now will be getting this delivered from tower hobbies soon and I'm excited to have options. Looking up the cost to build one from scratch was out of my league at the moment but getting this and gradually making changes as I learn and go is a great starting point. Anyways I'm new to the scene and it excited me so hopefully it does the same for others! Thanks for the vid!

A bit of tunning done:

- Moved the rear shocks to the bottom hole on the axle mounts
- Traxxas Jato longer rod ends on the rear uppers links on both ends to clock the axle
- Softer springs in 4 shocks
- Shocks oil: 30wt front, 50wt rear
- Moved the shocks location at the chassis for the front shocks
- Knuckles weight installed
- Wider VP hub installed front

Did you have to put a wider hub cause the wheel weight I was hoping stock hubs would clear rc4wd wheel weights

Only put wider hub for a bit more stability on side hilling, etc...
Didn't try but almost sure the stock hub will clear knuckle weight with no problem... ;)
