|  The Speed Metal Moonbully
Ive built my first Bully! This is my first stab at putting together an entire rig myself.I actually had it all running with the electronics all velcro'd in the chassis for some test runs on the rock before trying to stuff it all in as nice as I could.The rig works way beyond my expectations.Very happy with the the whole package.Thanks to the guys on here that steered me in the right direction parts wise.Im still working on some skins. Cast front Machined rear .7 slw's HB rovers(white) Panther foams(need to tweak the foams..) Fantom Blitz 35T's T1E Moonbuggy chassis T1E rear links JP front links Uppers made by Speed Metal Alloys RC4WD steering(have Xirtic,going to install soon) Hitec HS-7950TH(Robotronics horn is in the mail) HPI Firestorm shocks 60 wt. Losi whites in the rear,and HPI black up front Holmes torque master BR-XL ESC Punk Dig Spectrum radio Speed Metal Alloys Battery tray 3S lipos The Roller  The final      No room at all in here....I had to noodle on this a bit.   Speed Metal Alloys battery tray   Well,Thats it.  Very stoked.Ill get some vid and pics on the rocks. |

 It actually looks pretty darn good for my first dye job.Anyways,took it out for the first time today and it was a blast.No issues,no breakdowns in 4+ hrs of crawling,except the foams were a bit soft.Sidehilling was tough as the tires were rolling way too far over.Other than that it was hanging with the other rigs nicelyIm happy!Im going to do some foam re+re,and see how she goes. Stoked! | |

 You owe me fifty bux!lolQuote:
The truck is working better than initially for sure.I limited the shocks a shade,flipped em over and made a "crash style" servo guard for it.It sidehills pretty well,and seems to climb OK.The foams in the rovers kinda blow,(they hop a bit)but ive got a solution(hopefully)in the mail. | ||

Small update on this rig... I moved the rear uppers to the top of the mounting holes on the chassis,and it made a huge difference with keeping the front planted.I was surprised actually how much of a diff it made.Ive been thumping on it,no issues yet .Also got some nova foams in there,also a huge difference compared to the stockers.
