This is a picture of my small 2mm spacer and my steering throw, it keeps the leverage so the upper drag link isn't straight with the servo arm like some I've seen, this way it has good holding power and it's not stressing the servo. Got the end points set and we're ready to go crawling!

Got some more bully knuckle weights coming, going to add one on each side and I also got a deal on some voodoos gold and silver from a member on here. I love the classifieds there's always some deals! already started narrowing the voodoos, I'm making these ultra narrow so they should be around the same width as the bully comp tires. I also got a set of Crawler Innovations foams for the voodoos and the bully tires and they sent me free tuning foams so I've been playing with the bully tires and I used some "tire sauce" on the bully tires and they are real soft now and with the CI foams they should work a lot better! Going to try them out this weekend

Yea you can't beat them, and narrowed like this they don't rub anything at full lock and they are tall with the narrowed foams! I'm ready for the weekend!

| Re: CEEJRC Bully 2 Yea tire sauce! Haha it's from racing 1/10th 4wd modbuggy, sticky kicks makes some of the best actual tire sauce, but the best stuff we have figured out around here is liquid wrench but it HAS TO BE THE BLUE LABLE!! The other red lable don't work, the blue lable will soften the rubber and it makes a set of tires hook up great. We used it a lot on off road racing on clay hard packed tracks, makes a huge difference. I'll take a pic of what I use |

Ive seen what the weights on there site list but was curious what yours were since you did some grinding. I've heard of putting liquid wrench on the bottom of a rig to make it slide better on the rocks. Lol. |

How does that liquid wrench smell? I can deal with wd40 stench on the regular but if smells something like PB blaster(good product though) then I'm definitely not picking it up. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk |

I did very little grinding on them, so I doubt I took more than a couple of grams off of them And the liquid wrench don't smell terrible, it's about like WD40, but I've never used it inside or a closed space, I'm always outside and I spray it on the tires and then take a old tooth brush and scrub it in then let it sit for about 20 mins and then dry it back off with an old towel and after 20 mins or so the tires are softer and they don't keep the smell of the liquid wrench on them, my tires are inside now and I can't smell nothing at all |

Bug n Tar remover - use to use it on indoor courses. Spray it on a rag and wipe tires down. If you spray to much on the tire it swells the rubber - sticky as all hell then but they loose their firmness. |

Just a few updates, the axles have a lot more scratches now haha. I like the big bore shocks but I really want to try the scx10 shocks with a little shorter travel, there are times I have a little too much flex, and I would like to try a little different shock setup to see what I like better. Still running these rtr motors for now, I really want to order me a set from team brood but I just can't foot the bill right this second so the rtr motors will get it done for now. Servo and the micro 2's are working great can't complain a bit! Now I just need to build me a practice course in the back yard so I can get more wheel time! Over all I'm really happy with the setup so far it's handling the tough lines very well and I can't wait to keep making it better!

It's not a great picture but it's just a big rock next to the house that has a straight up side that's fun to test it on
