With your installation, you will take great pleasure.
I'm a fan

I think both the Bully's and berg are great platforms to start with hell even the xr is great its just to bad the support for the xr has disappeared

Can I ask what made you choose the reptile?

To be honest I just really like the tiny skid plate and the belly clearance that the reptile offers.

So far the only thing I don't like about the chassis is when you end up, upside down with the big cab makes it tough to right yourself.

But I think that will change when I get my puller 500's back from rebuild.

Had another great run at our comp sunday took another first place and wrap up the winter series title.

The truck seems to be working pretty good.
But as it goes there is always room to improve

Sweet my HH pullers got back today from there rebuild
can't wait to get them back in my truck miss the power.

Also be interesting to see where the weight falls after installing them.

While working on the motors I'm going to raise the upper link mounts up one notch and see what that does for the truck.

Got our first outdoor comp on the 23rd
Hopefully i can start the outdoors season the way the indoor finished
can't wait to get back outside in the fresh air.

Oh and i almost for got my killer Krawler Koncept skins showed up last week can't wait to get those bad boys on the truck.
I will take some pictures to post of them.

Yes those would be the ones.
The plastic one's

I limit the shocks about 3 to 4mm inside the shock body with a rubber spacer.

Well guys we had our first outdoor comp of the year sunday,

Was alittle slick when we first started the day out which made the pro class pretty entertaining lol

All in all was a good day.
The truck did well acouple driver errors were made but still pulled out a 3rd place finish in Pro.

[chevotafun]

Hey guys.

We had our second comp of the year on sunday,
What a great day on the rocks
Sun was shinning bright and the rocks were warm and sticky.

Drove the bullied Retile to a first place finish.
Was very happy how the truck preformed and how the driver did this time lol

Here is a quick video, not of my truck.

Thank you
I had a lot of fun building this truck, I big change from the xr.

Yes they are from CK
they are for the berg, but I had to use some jato rod ends on one side front/rear uppers/lowers to get them to the right length,

They don't make links for the bully2 diffs

After alittle research and measuring one of our club members xr reptile I found that the xr front links will work perfect but the rear don't.

I think I posted somewhere in my thread on what size links are needed for the bully2 diffs.

The biggest problem getting pre-made links is the reptile skid is so small to just mix and match links together.

[chevotafun]

Wow seems like forever since I have comped with the last 2 being rained out grrr

But with that said pulled a perfect day and another first place.
The bullied Reptile is really starting to work and feel right.

Also couldn't b happier with The bully diffs, they are holding up awesome to the beating that I keep giving them.

[Solitaire]

Yup, ya done good today, Mike.
Clean sweep and perfect scores in all 3 categories. Can't get much better than that.
