Definitely a proven setup, very nice

Zarizi Tech · 06-20-2014, 03:04 AM

Yeah, the rig is looking awesome. You'll love the setup I think. I also have something new on the shocks, so watch the topic closely on the near future

Rckcrwlr · 06-20-2014, 03:19 AM

Welcome to the Revolution, Geir!!!!

g-jero · 06-30-2014, 03:15 AM

New wheels from NCD with Woodoo gold that I narrowed 12mm I think it look,s nice :-)

g-jero · 08-11-2014, 02:18 AM

Have run some comp,s with this now and I have to say that these axels really run smooth.
I love them because they are so quiet and feel quit tight.
After I did some adjustments to the links and dampers the chassis also works like a dream.
Only thing that is a little problematic now are the driver :-)

g-jero · 09-03-2014, 07:19 AM

A good weekend for my Bully2 :-)

Time for a summary after the 2014 season.
This will actualy be very short, I have driven my Bully2,S for some time now and I am happy to say that I have not had any
failure what so ever on these.
I am very pleased with my decision to change from my Bergs to the Bully2,s.
Also I would like to thank RC4WD an their team for the chanse to drive for them

.
Hopefuly I will still be in the team for the 2015 season.

g-jero · 03-31-2015, 01:43 AM

So we are now ready for the 2015 season, still with team RC4WD

Thanks guy,s

Some canges to the rig.
Got a set of Brood Nexus 30t.
Hear some have a low speed issue with these so i got them
a set of 12 t pinions. Hopefully this wil do the trick

Also changed from HH to CC sidwinder micro,s this year.
Did the Hulksta mod on the dampers, and they are smooth now

ZZR 1100 Racer · 03-31-2015, 03:47 AM

Rig look´s very good

Did you have any video in compaction?

g-jero · 03-31-2015, 04:29 AM

Thanks man, sorry no vid yet.
Hopefully some on will do some vids on our comps that starts in about 2 weeks

Zarizi Tech · 04-01-2015, 10:03 AM

Looks awesome Geir! And strangely familiar!

12t pinions are ok for 30T Nexus. I will try with 10T pinions next, we'll see how that goes. Shoot a video when you can, would be great to see if it acts even nearly the same as mine.

Hopplaa, the Nordics are two months away, can't wait!

g-jero · 05-05-2015, 09:22 AM

Got a package yesterday with some of the new Bully 2.2 comp RC4WD tyres.
Here are my first thoughts with this new tyre.

They are a bit lower and a bit narrower then my narroved Voodoo`s

They also feel like they are a bit thicker in both the sidewall`s and in the thread pattern.
This should help, especially the front tyres not to "collapse" that much.
The rubber dont feel as sticky as my gold Voodoo`s, but it is close.
I dont have any silver to compare with, but I guess it it somewhere in between silver and gold.
As for the foam some std foam comes with the tyres, but I think most of us will change this.
May be a Double douce Soft/medium 5.5` combo will be nice.

The tread pattern as you can see has a lot of lugs, and I bet
most of us will customize this for our own likings.
With that many lugs, we get a lot of possible patterns

I have not been able to test them yet, as it is rains here

.

I will test this as stock before I do any cutting in them,
but probably with a non stock foam

Looks like everybody in here has a second christmas

Keep us posted how the tires work

crawlinghulls · 05-06-2015, 04:55 PM

Rig looks great

.

g-jero · 05-11-2015, 02:56 AM

First test of the new Bully Tires, done !
I have to say that I think these things work great in stock.
Or allmost stock, I run them with 5.5" Double douce Soft/soft outer foam, and the inner front
foam a little bit narrowed.
I think they bounse a little, but I think if I cut some of the lugs they will improve.

Beautiful looking rig

FLOKI-81 · 05-11-2015, 11:59 AM

any news about when rc4wd gonna have these bad ass tires on their webstore???
I want a set badly...
I am waiting for a new set off wheels from dlux and these tires would have been perfect to put on those wheels

EverettY · 05-11-2015, 04:07 PM

I put some 5.5 Narrowed C.I. Foams in mine and put them up next to some narrowed VooDoo's and it's almost the same height...
