RC4WD Bully 2 a.k.a Koppensneller

Really nice build Samu!
Is the 1720g without knuckleweights? If so, how much weight will you add approximately?

Thanks Douwe! It'll set down right to 1700 area I think.

Hehe Wheels are cool. Tires came just moments ago, so I'll start glueing. Not too many days till Spanish comp!

Not yet. I'll run it like that first and see if it works. Thanks!

What were your issues with the mini-BRs? Are you going to be able to make them work?

And, and, and... I like it a lot.

Cheers,

Todd

Thanks Todd! Dig's are in the lever and I adjusted EPA's of the steering to 80%. Actually both of my BR-Minies were burned so, I'll have to buy a new pair.

Glad to see we can build lightweight cars around the Bully 2's as well.

Skinz look great, too! Seems you did a good job taking dimensions for the roof panel, it's a good fit.

Thanks Tomy! Roof panel is perfect.

Thanks Roger! Yes 1720g is without knuckle weights. Plannin on addin 30g per front tire.

Today I glued the tires to the wheels and attached them to the rig.


Sorry for dark photos. It's beginning to look ready. It's now 27cm wide on the front and 25cm at rear axle. I think it'll work well.


Loving the twisty effect on the wheels!


Forgot to take a pic from the electronics. Here they are.


I tried this thing on flat floor indoors. JEEEEZZ, those Stubbies are brutal!! Will be a good test this weekend to give it some jerky on the rocks.


RTR weight for the moment in grams.


And pounds. Tomorrow I'll receive my knuckleweights and it'll rise up to 1750 grams I think.

[Zarizi Tech]

Got the NCD/RC Bros knuckle weights installed. Here is the final RTR weight.


In pounds.

It is now ready for the finalizing training on The Bunker tomorrow. I'll shoot some video of it, if I can.

Perfect RTR weight

[Zarizi Tech]

Yesterday I did the first runs on the rocks with this thing. It's going great straight from the first try. I was able to test with the defending Nordic Champ LaaLaa. He has the SuDu Pro with the XR10 axles, so it was really good way to separate the differences between these two. We couldn't hardly find any. They are going quite similarly for the moment. Only thing I need to do is ordering these:


It's desparate for more weight on the front. That is quite much the only thing I will change before the Spanish Nats. We also did a good beating to these trucks to see what it can handle. 2 meter jumps ain't no problem with the stubbies and everything seems to be handling well the weight of the axles. Probably only thing which I need to get spare is the three piece wheel inner part.


That's a one happy team driver!

Yeahyeah, video you shout out loud!

Glad you are happy with the axles. It's great to have you on the team.

Wasn't too hard to scratch the axles ?

No, definately not for me. Had to have some training with it.

[ROWDY RACING]

Nice driving, cool indoor spot.

Until you drive a Harley Davidson, get rid of that beard!

Nice driving!. Good to hear you were able to keep up with Laalaa. For us who know his driving skills this means a lot.

Did you break them already?


How do you find the bend in the rear links? Do you get the clearance you need?

As a matter of fact, a little scratch was notified on the rear wheel, so I have a little consurne of them to hold up my driving style. One or two in spare and I'm good. Allthough I was a bit rough to the rig yesterday as LaaLaa can proof.

The bend of the rear links seemed to be really competitive. I didn't have any problems with those in the Bunker, so that has to mean a lot, cause there's a lot of sharp edges and stuff. Thumbs up for those!

The bunker is extremely though on all gear as each fall tend to end up at the flat concrete floor.

But I'll cut out a few spare centers for you to take with you to Spain.

Yes, that is true. It would definately be nice to have couple of spares with me. Just in case.

[Zarizi Tech]

Got my RC4WD knuckle weights recently. Was eager to put them under the beast.


The old ones were not too heavy, and with the current hub setup, there wasn't enough room for more weights.


This looks better. So the overall weights are 100g compared to the old 30g.


Don't they shine!!


Not much to do before we go.


Just have to clean up those electrics on the mount behind the motor.


Then I can say that it is ready for Spain.

Looking great...
