Heido's B2 build How it all started: On our comp my friends rig broke and I let him drive my Berg but as it wasn't the best day for me I stated that if he drives my rig better than me I'll put up a for sale add for the rig. He now owns it :lmao: I started to look for new axles. Got a few offers for nice XR10 axle sets but at the same time was dreaming of the B2's. Got lucky and scored set of B2's here - thanks CrawlrKing. Some specs: B2 axles Custom chassis from Tomi SCX shocks TI links Silver Voodoo's with CI foams and wheels Pro-Line 1/16 bug body Hitec 7950 servo HH 35T motors Mamba Micro Pro esc's Novak DIG http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/949/90/237476496bd9a8_l.jpg Ordered new bearings from FastEddy and maintained the axles http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/2379806307f1b6_l.jpg New pins are definitely needed, stock is way too short http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/23798065ec1493_l.jpg New bearings in http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/237980710d04bc_l.jpg Greased the gears, CVD's and mounted the motor (HH 35T) http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/23798075181fca_l.jpg Same tretment to the rear axle http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/23798077c7ca62_l.jpg Tomi was kind enough to blow the dust off the mill and cut me the same chassis plates he designed for my Berg. http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/951/92/23798079d175d1_l.jpg Now I have to wait for the 4mm ti rod to arrive so I could start making the links |
Re: Heido's B2 build I am curious to see how the 4mm rod works out. I just ordered some my self. My plan is to make uppers. Do you think it will hold up for lowers too? |
Re: Heido's B2 build On my berg I had only the rear lowers made of 5mm rod, all others were 4mm and hold up well. |
Re: Heido's B2 build Onto a great start Heido, definitely following that one... "thumbsup" Any reference for the bearings kit ?8) |
Re: Heido's B2 build Quote:
Rowdy has the list up on his build topic "thumbsup" Actually there are 18 5x10x4 bearings all together, so I have now some spares but that's never a bad thing Quote:

Re: Heido's B2 build Is that fast eddy bearing kit for the Bully2 or just one that had the bearings you needed? |

Re: Heido's B2 build Thank you |
Re: Heido's B2 build Today finally the 4mm TI rod arrived, now I can start making the links. Also the CI foams and wheels arrived a few days back. It will be a puzzle putting them together, as I have never had glue-on wheels before. Eddie was kind enough to give me some tips on that "thumbsup" We'll see how that goes... :ror: |
Re: Heido's B2 build Got some links made today - uppers and front lowers, all from 4mm rod. Haven't decided yet from which rod to make the rear lowers, 4 or 5mm. I've tried heating up the 4mm rod to the glowing point and letting it cool down it harden's a lot... It should hold up just fine http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/28/238821033b34af_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/28/238821050c7e79_l.jpg |
Re: Heido's B2 build |
Re: Heido's B2 build I would recommend you check the CVD pins. Mine where short and I made new pins for the CVD's. What radio are you using? |

Re: Heido's B2 build Rear lowers and steering links done. Went with the 4mm for all links. http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/50/2388757152b2a5_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/50/238875739768e0_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/50/23887575526bf4_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/955/50/23887577e35b7f_l.jpg |
Re: Heido's B2 build Had some time to work on the rig. Did the front weights, 52g each. http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/956/62/239156454bc221_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/956/62/23915647325d46_l.jpg Also prep'ed the body in my own minimalistic way :lmao: Decided that I'm not gonna buy new paint and will use the ones I have in the shelf. Had two, green and silver, enough for one coat each. Green is brushed through silver on the roof and hood. http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/956/62/239156493393a1_l.jpg http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/956/62/239156519e5521_l.jpg |
Re: Heido's B2 build Looks great Heido! Where the hell did you find 1/18 bug body? :shock: That's a treasure for sure. I like the painting too. Which tires will you be driving? |
Re: Heido's B2 build Quote:
For the tires I have silver Voodoo's with CI foams and wheels. |

Re: Heido's B2 build Hyvältä näyttää!! :flipoff: It's awesome that you can make it to our indoor comp. Would be even nicer to get more of you guys visiting here. Are you planning on going back to Estonia on saturday night? |
Re: Heido's B2 build Quote:
And yes, I will go back on saturday night. I promised to help a friend on car repaires on sunday. |
