I have no one to comp with, so that makes total sense. Using the same size for consistency also makes total sense. As I'm a loner, I like to run each rig 25 to 30 minutes between breaks, and battery changes. Hang up and Drive |

| Re: What battery for Bully 2 RTR Yeah I've always been a lone driver too (when I actually had something to drive) The whole idea of this Bully is to get off the bench and get into the field. Have you been a lone driver because thats just your personality, or because of lack of other like minded drivers in your area? Its been a little of both in my case.

Unfortunately only a few crawlers in this area. I've met a fair number of bashers/ racers, we used to have a county owned track for SC .... down here it's mainly planes and boats. I would love to have a small group to compete on the rocks, I think I'm great(by myself !) but know I could learn just watching . I envy the guys in the mountains ( in the summer )!

Ok I did it! Ordered the Bully II RTR direct from RC4WD, and 2 Brood three cell 500mah batteries direct from Brood. Ok so when I get it, before I drive it, I need to grease the axels, swap the Tamiya plug with a Deans, relocate motor wires to the top position, and loctite the nuts .. anything else I'm missing? Ohh and what brand grease are people using these days, I still have a tube of that dark green marine grease around here .. will that do, or is there something better these days (I've been out of the hobby for a few years) Thanks guys!

You will have some cogging with the stock esc, the stock dig will work well enough to get you hooked, I've upgraded everything but the stock motors, that is a matter of time though. Just go thru everything , make sure it's tight and use loctite. I had one missing screw, look up CBoggs rtr loaner thread, clock your axles and chubs Hang up and Drive Last edited by mikemcE; 05-12-2017 at 08:19 PM. |

Cogging is what brushless motors do. (But I've heard some say stock electronics in the B2 cog IDK) Clod stall I what happens with single esc in a MOA crawler. "what is clod stall? Is that where one axle turns and the other doesnt in a bind?" (Above is a question from another thread.) Answer... is yes. How to help if not stop clod stall would be to run dual esc's. Maybe others can explain better Mike owns a bull2 so he knows more about stock electronics in the bully2 then I do.. I own a berg crawler with dual Holmes Hobbies br-mini esc's.

| Re: What battery for Bully 2 RTR My stock ESC and radio gave me tons of issues. Cogging like crazy. Cogging is when you try to go really slow and it gets kinda jumpy. I switched to a ae5 ESC for now until I go dual ESC. They are very cheap and work 100 times better than stock. That and my radio never wanted to stay in neutral. I got a futaba 4pls. But others use the sanwa mt4 which looks very nice for when you finally go dual ESC. I would recommend completely disassembling the axles and check everything. As far as grease I use either the gray stuff with moly in it or red and tacky. |

If budget allows you can buy from Holmes Hobbies br-mini esc's dual Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR Mini Dual - Speed Controllers - Electronics & Wiring Or 2 single br-mini esc's and some wire Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR Mini - Speed Controllers - Electronics & Wiring Best esc on the market for a MOA crawler. Bec is needed Castle Creations BEC 10A Like I've mentioned before if you need any help getting it running LMK. I've wired a few MOA crawlers. |

If you're that close to other people I would get out there and meet some! Let them show you a few things. However. That is by far the cheapest way out of it. I agree with tapped out that for the money you can't seem to beat Holmes hobbies. Best stuff fair price. Before you blow money on an ESC though personally I would buy a castle bec, castle link or borrow one, and upgrade the steering servo first. Its always needed whether you're running dig or dual ESC. That is something that I wish I had done first. luckily I burnt mine up yesterday and finally have an excuse to buy a new one. My first comp went fine until I didnt have enough steering torque to turn into the first gate on course two. Makes it very frustrating. And clod stall isn't nearly as frustrating. sometimes it seems to kinda help. | |

You should always go thourgh a RTR rig scale or comp check all screws and move the motor wires to top of motor (some screws will be loose). Other than that drive the rig as is so when you do upgrades you see the difference. Brxl if it will fit in the chassis you could replace stock esc with the Brxl. Or sell the brxl to pay for part of the br-mini esc's. https://youtu.be/919uIZzc8SE My name is Matt. BTW congrats on your purchase. Read up on some issues that might come up with the B2 axles so you can prevent them. CVD's, bearings ECT. I'll look for bearing mod links. Last edited by tapped-out; 05-13-2017 at 01:31 PM. |
