Differences between these two bully axes

[ffrago]

Hello, I am riding a MOA 2.2 and I am quite new in this class of 2.2 and I would like someone to inform me of the main differences between these two axes, since I have seen that some are twice as expensive as the others.

-Bully 2 Competition Crawler Front Axle
-Bully Comp 2.2 Front & Rear Axle

I've already seen that some are aluminum, longer and less heavy and the other metal and shorter, but I wanted to know if there is much difference when driving.

Thank you so much for everything

The main differences is as you say the weight, design and most important the turning radius of the front Axel.
The Bully 2 is a great "out of the Box" Axel, I have used mine for 4 years now and they work great :-)

The 'Bully' set is the originals:
Heavy axles, soft case material, poor steering radius, short width causing you to run longer hubs for track width. That in turn tears up the scrub radius on the steering and makes it worse.

Good if you're on a budget or if you wanted to build a Super and only use the cases.


Bully2 axles are the newer verson - though 4/5 years old.

Better width to match the more popular and proven axles. Lighter and actual aluminum cases. Geometry can be changed to be similar to XR or Berg. Improved steering radius.

Known problems ....
breaks CVD pins in end stops are not set correctly, also binding the front end hard.
small bearing inside on the idler gear touching locker - known to blow out and roast the gears. can use a bushing there and change it often for cheap cost.
latest versions to come over the ocean was noticed the wrong bearings used in that same spot and roasted gears out of the box.

Good axles if you want to go further into a moderate to pro level truck - are they a bolt and go? No but for the saving and a little time to learn them they are worth it.
