Wow smoke is probably rolling off of your tools! That is a lot of work for one hour. Keep your eyes open for some light weight cases and tubes.

New servo



Some cut on the tires











Also made some holes to wheels and tires for better foam breathing.





New Ti link for steering



I painted the body panels

This progress about images is because I built the car long time ago.This is not work in an hour.

I have on mind for lightweight stuff.

Some knuckles,axial chubs,delrin upper link mounts,front driveshafts,delrin tubes front and rear from Erik D'Lux,to loose some weight.

Rear long stock tube

Rear short stock tube

Front stock long tube



Front delrin long tube



Front stock short tube



Front short delrin tube



Stock knuckle



Modified knuckle with 5 bearings



v6 front driveshafts



D'lux long driveshafts



I messed up with servo mount but finally found some good holes to hold it.Delrin is very soft material when make holes for screws.

The problem is that I have to find a solution on rear axle to make it longer,because the front axle now is quite longer than rear that is in stock length.

Looks like you took the ultimate leap. Chopping that top corner chunk off of the top of the gear case is another cheap easy mod. Also if you turn your front lowers end for end and stand them up vertically. The links can be brought over closer to the case to allow for more interference free steering now that you have more than is usable. For the width try to get around 10 3/4" to 11" out side of wheel to outside of wheel. That front has to be over 12"

I have thought about grinding the top of the gear case but also thought for lightweight gear case which is quite lighter without modification than stock .You mean to stand up the knuckles with chubs?

Because of servo position restrict me about left lower link.



Also,two lower link-shock mounts has to has a symmetry on the tubes.You can see that the position of link mount I placed,is the best choice for the steering.



Here you can see the links is as closer to the cases as possible.

Some more pictures of steering link






Yes,front axle is little over 12'' and the rear is 10 1/4'' .I think slw hubs are a good choice to adjust the width,front and rear.

Here is a mistake with one of two shafts.

I tried to fix it with an old shaft.













Maybe need a new one.

What kind of tires did you replace the stock tires with? Any problems changing them?

I run Ottsix Voodoo blue dot tires with Crawler Innovations DD 6.0'' foams.Also I have trimmed the front tires a little.





No problem at all.

Looks like you've done quite a bit of work here - with a pretty nice result.
I am currently working on my Bully 2.2-axles. One of the things I'd like to improve is the steering angle. Do you have any suggestions of where to begin and what to do?

[Tossedman]

That thing's looking great. How do you like the Chaotic Crawlers chassis? I'm liking mine wight the new Bully 2 axles. Got an old chassis for my original axles which I'm slowly starting to put together as I get the parts.

Thank you.

Fist step for better steering is v6 xvd driveshafts upgrade if you use stock axles.Then you can try a lot of things to achive a better steering angle.There are some threads you can take help and ideas.
