Axles look good, I really hope they take off this year.

Nice.
How's it looking link wise? Are the links you run now going to work?

We shall see in a little bit, but I think it should transfer right over. Im currently tearing them apart to regrease and locktite all screws. There wasn't a whole lot of grease in these from the factory which is normal for every preassembled axle Ive ever owned. I'll get more pics up in a bit.

I don't see why they wouldn't, they are very impressive from what Im seeing tearing them apart. For the money you can't go wrong with these, bolt them in and go comp. You get yours yet?

I have been impressed with what I have seen and heard as well, that's why I jumped at the chance to join the team. The price is killer for comp ready axles and I hope it brings in some new blood. I have not gotten mine yet but I expect them any day, I'm a little further from CA than you are.

Normally, you have to shorten some links if you bolt what you had on XR10 !

That comment from the other thread just clicked
I just read your sig, congrats to you as well Chris
Looks like John has himself a nice little stable of comp drivers again.

[cboggs]

Here's how it sits so far, I need to shorten it up a little as it is about a 1/4" to long.

[CrawlrKing]

Hey, looks great !!! I have had the same problem (length) with my links... But the wheels, oh my god...

[Zarizi Tech]

Looking good Chris! You've done some work to get it to that point this fast! I haven't even received my axles yet. What's your current weight?

[Rckcrwlr]

Looking good Chris. Like the direction its going...

[boosted4lyf]

Holy fuu.. That looks killer chris.
I'm a little curious about wait myself. The Ti Neg. Space wheels do seem to stand out a little bit more and I love that rear titty brace

[cboggs]

Weight is currently at 3#13oz. but will get a little heavier when some knuckle weight goes on, and thats not using any lightweight screws yet or going to some lighter upper links. It should come out around 4# even when I'm finished.

Looks good Chris. Congrats again on the new seat. Those axles look right at home on there. How is the track width compare to the XR's?

Thanks Travis. The Bully 2's seem to be just a little wider than the XR axles, I'm at 11" outside to outside of the tires.

There doesn't appear to be as much steering with this setup. Yes...no?

50* is enough for me, need anymore and thats what dig is for.

[cboggs]

Alright just about done, just waiting on my parts from NCD. Wheel base is now legal, I shortened the front links and made some lighter rear uppers. Im very happy how this turned out, there is so much adjustability in these axles and chassis that it would be impossible to not find a good setup! I did raise the upper portion of the chassis up one hole which raised the shock mounts up a little. Upper link mounts have been raised at the axle case to the highest position so the upper links clear the case using straight links during digging. Got a comp next weekend so we'll see how it does.

Ah, 'tis true.
I certainly like the accessibility to all the mounts. Very clean.
Oh, and congrats on the new sponsorship. You Northwest boys definitely don't get overlooked.
