Default Remedy Bully2 for my dad...

I finished building a Bully2 for my dad today using a Remedy chassis and Dlux Ti Berg links. He is going to try out the Protek 170T servo so we'll see how it works out. I think it came out real good, nice and low with tons of clearance. Here's a few pics...

Looks great Chris.

Please post some feed back as to how this chassis works with the B2's.

I am running a Remedy with bergs and I love it.

Quick question - Why are the front shocks out boarded at the axle? Seems there would be a little more room for steering if they were mounted on the inside of the shock mount.

That should be fixed as soon as I get some mini-t cups installed on the shocks, right now there is not enough clearance with the stock servo mount.

Shocks are stock Axial Icon shocks with mini-t silver springs, 30wt oil, and I'm using a plastic Axial rod end ball inside the shocks for limiting. I changed the shock position on the chassis and will get a updated pic up tonight and also get the hub sizes.

No need for the rod end cap mod?

Here's the most recent pic of the set up. I added an additional hole in the chassis to move the rear shocks back one more hole and moved the front shocks forward one hole from where I initially set it up. VP hubs are .725 front and .475 rear with the Dlux wheels.

U didn't like the low stance of your first setup? How does this affect the performances?

Sorry for all the question but I will have a similar setup of ur so... and I really liked the low stance from first pic...

Shocks needed to be more upright to help balance the handling, works much better and is more predictable on what it will do. It will still suck down real low when digging. Weight is at 4#6oz.

Hmmm, the Boggs family is sporting some fancy new setups for this weekend.
Not sure how my clunkers are going to stand up to these beauties.

Hearing the tread pop on the rock is funny. Sounds like they just come out of the package. That think works great. You need to get an orange paint marker and make a circle around the dig switch for your dad. One of the guys I crawl with put one of those little smurf nipples on his switch.
