| Chevotafun's Bullied Reptile
Hey guys After many hours of reading and drooling over these new RC4WD Bully2 Axles, I have decide to make the switch from the xr to the bullies. Going from my XR10 Chaotic smash at 4lbs 1oz To the Bullied Reptile weight well we'll see where she lands Aiming for the 4lbish mark What I have coming- Chassis- CK Reptile with there links Diffs- RC4WD Bully2 Wheels- Nordic Crawler Servo mount- Nordic Crawler Battery Mount- Nordic Crawler Electronic Mount- Nordic Crawler Knuckle Weight Holder - Nordic Crawler Knuckles Weight- RcBro Ties- Narrowed VooDoo's (Gold) Foam- CI Axles- CreeperBob Shocks- SCX-10 Servo- Hi-tech 7980 Bec- Castle ESC- Holmes Hobbies BR Mini's Motors- Holmes Hobbies puller 500 (crawl) Radio- 4PL Skins- Krawler Concepts And a big bag of alum screws and nuts. Now just waiting on parts to get here once all the parts get here I will start posting pic's Can't wait to start piecing this together. Hoping all parts will be here by next Friday. Please post up any thoughts or suggestion you might have on this build, Cheers Mike Last edited by chevotafun; 02-06-2014 at 01:08 PM. |

Nice! Do you narrow your VooDoos yourself? And how wide are the wheels you're using?

nothing wrong with staring at them besides you still have to take them apart to look at the insides and grease them up id recomend ky warming jelly so the bully2s will be comfy |

I got my axles last night and first off they look awesome, and sweet shirt too But the one thing that stood out is the weight of these bad boys holly crap there heavy :( Compared to my xr diffs I'm thinking i'll be around the 4.4lbs to 4.6lbs mark with just the weight diffence in axles But time will tell. What do you guys think of the steering these knuckles give you? Enough or could it use more? Any thoughts on how to shave some weight off these axles? Guessing that milling them down is going to be the only option? Now to fine a machinist that can pull this off Anyone got any other idea's on weight savings?

Yes I might just have to do that Would love to see if he could adapt his alum shafts to this diff. Got my bag of alum screw yesterday and got to work changing screws. Still need to get the socket head screws tho, Changed out the button heads and shed 12 grams off the front diff and 5 grams off the rear so far. Now if only everything else would hurry up and get here :( How much clock are you guys running on your knuckles? fully clocked? or one notch off full?
