Thank you
Yes I had always liked the look of the reptile since it came out as well.

So when I decided to make the switch to the Bully2 diff I figured why not just do a whole new build

Hey Mike
The new rig is looking real good, you need to get some vids of that and the last POD coming up

[Billy D]

Man the rig looked great and it drove great to. But most of that is on the driver, she will come together real fast. Good job and good win argggg lol

[chevotafun]

The truck runs great and looks great as well but will look sick once the new skins arive. Like I said before it won't take you long to dial it in. Especially since you don't have to go to far to crawl. That's for sure lol

[chevotafun]

Thanks bud

Yes yes it does help having the pile to test on when u want

How are you digging the voodoos ?

I'm deciding between the rovers and voodoos.

Sometimes our summers stay wet sometimes they are hot and humid.

Gonna go with the services you recommended.

Lovin the VooDoo's

But if it's a little wet the rover are king IMO
People have had good results with the voodoo's in wet weather as well.

I run my voodoo's all the time.
On both my MOA and Shafty

Got acouple narrowed set coming soon hopefully.

[Billy D]

So where are we at now. How has the tuning been. Any changes?

[chevotafun]

Nothing to crazy since it seems to work but I have Been playing with shock positions and knuckle weight.

Using the reptile berg links right now, had to use a jato rod end on one side of the links to make it the right length.

The reptile xr fronts are the right length or dam close from what I have seen on my buddies xr reptile, but the rears are still to short.

if I remember right off the top of my head
front lowers needed 122mm
rear lowers needed 148mm

[Billy D]

So I am glad to hear everything is going well with the change. Cant wait till next Sunday for our last indoor comp, I wish I could say I am gonna make a run at the title but my driving decisions are just not there yet but still a work in progress.

yessssss i love it ........I can not judge which of Bully's or Berg's are the best ..... in both scenarios the Reptile is superb.
With your installation, you will take great pleasure.
I'm a fan
