Bully II moa Comp

[gixerman]

Hi everyone, got the RTR RC4WD MOA Bully II Comp Crawler for a Christmas present to myself lol. I was shocked at how small it seems when compared to my older Super Comp that dwarfs this one. It is cold here but managed to get some outdoor time in Northern Illinois. I must say this unit works quite well out of the box.

I wanted to pick some brains here if that's okay.

Servo is okay, but seems like it could be a little stronger if anyone has ideas, something that might fit.

I was able to bend the motor blade connectors 90 degrees for clearance, but front ones I drilled motor can for more options to face wires up and forward, is that a normal thing to have to do?

Should I just loose the motor can blade connectors and direct solder? I was thinking to also replace bullet connectors with deans as well.

Would the little aluminum heat sinks that go between motor and mount be beneficial?

I have 3s lipos and I know Nordic gone but was curious how people mount the battery. I have tried upright and flat.. a bigger plate is what I need to make?

Is it worth it to come up with skid plates for axles? Or just run some vinyl on them to "slide" over rocks.

Any tips or ideas from people who run these is greatly appreciated. Sorry for all the questions and thank you.

I bought the same present for myself except it’s the kit . I just put in a Holmes Hobbies BLS HV500v2 and it fits great IMO. It’s flush with the underside of the axle if that works for you. 450 oz at 7.4 v with cc bec running it. It goes to 500 oz at 8.4v I think. As far as the battery I went with an 860 mah 3s max amps lipo and it’s a perfect fit on the battery plate. Battery is only 50 mm long 24 mm high and 30 mm wide. Not sure about other questions as I’m new at crawling but hope this helps out.

I’ve always soldered all Motor leads , batt on front axle, holmes or a ProModeler servo.


Hang up and Drive

Thanks a lot for the great info. The Holmes stuff looks good and definately need a stronger servo that fits flush. Servo okay it came with but has hard time moving wheels on sticky rocks when repositioning. I did switch it to my spektrum pro 4 radio and way more precise throttle control

Yes grab a new servo, it will help out
Look up Dravtech they took over for Nordic, He has an eleictronic's tray and a battery tray for the Bully 2 diffs as well as some other cool stuff.
