Shapeways calls it laser sintered strong and flexible plastics. That's all I know.

Knuckle weights and 8 degree steering parts installed. Fit and finish is perfect!

[CrawlrKing]

You didn't like the non 8• ?

[Tomy]

I always liked the 8 degree steering on my XR10 axles compared to my old Bully. That's why I wanted to continue the same on the Bully 2's now that the option is available.

[chevotafun]

Hmm
interesting
I would like to hear your thoughts on the 8* after you take it for a drive

it's nylon ;)

I installed the electronics the other night and have about 20 packs on the car now. It performs very well. RTR weight atm is 1960g, so about 100g more than my old XR10. Still the Bully feels much more planted in most situations.

2x Micro Sidewinders and CC BEC fitted on the electronics plate:




Front axle setup:




Upper link geometry:




Cab needs reinforcement:

So far I like it very much. Did a few nasty spots today repeatedly which would only work on and off with the XR10.

Does this mean a redesign of the cab? Wonder if a roof panel might have spread out the impact a bit and saved the cab?

Good to hear that you're liking your new rig though.

Yes, a roof panel would have helped. But I will add a bit of material to the cab also (and use a panel next time).

Good thing to hear, that something is happening in the north as well. Welcome to our club comp next weekend. Should be a blast!

The comp is in 2 weeks, I hope? I'll be there if it's not snowing or raining.

Drove a few more packs today and did a few more new lines I've never done before. I'm glad to see the turned down rear axle and plastic lockouts are holding up.

Yeah it is. The 19th of April. Should be fun to see differences of our rigs, if there's any?
