That is good news that the super bully starts out the same as the upgraded clod. Now we just need to find out how an upgraded bully is.;) Quote:

Joe when i said enlarged 2.2 tire, I plan on making the height taller and the wheel size bigger as well. I am thinking of basically something like Superdave and King Bling used at worlds. Quote:

Or these. Super leopards are 7.1", Super rovers "Desert Dogs" are 6.9" both 2" wide I thought the Desert Dogs were good but the super leopards are great too. I like the pizza cutter style wheel/tire combo on a super. I am fixing to build a set of Super claws for a buddy. |

I am after something different in the tire department. I would say 6.5 would be great but I want a way shorter sidewall.Thats the reason I am going to try the meatgrinders. I just do not see the reason to have that much sidewall if I can keep from it. It just going to be finding the wheel that makes the tire the right height. |

Jason, I just wanted to give you my input on the bully axles..... they are freaking great. yes i broke a few teeth on a gear or 2 ..... but it was all on me ..... this is why there was no need to go on here and make a big deal out of it. The breakage was my fault not the product. Yes i drove the living hell out of these axles at the Worlds and alot of people saw how strong they were all day.I built this truck 18 hours before flying out to reno, heck we were wrenching on it at the condo. I was the only super with out rear steering, so i had to run my truck with dig only. My truck weighs 229 oz or 14 lbs total 123 oz is in my wheels 106 oz is in my axles, chassis, ect ..... i used 12t pinions in both front and rear..... i trashed other 9t and 10t pinions (after market) i ran 45t hand wound Tekin motors i used a 3 cell 2650 mah lipo i had crazy wheel speed and used a ton of power to dig my truck like it had 4 wheel steering. These axles are very strong and with your rig set up like a true super with 4 wheel steering and less wheel speed these axles can compete with any set up on the market. My super is going back together as we speak and my build thread will be update very soon. you can not and will not go wrong with Bully Super axles, these are very well built. Just my 2 cent, thanks |

Hey guys if this thread has inspired you to build a super, or if you have recently built one please post up a link in this thread to help everyone find it. This is awesome in here with everyone brainstorming, I can't wait to see the new batch of supers that pops up. |

Oh I am inspired but the new build thread will be a little time away. The worst thing is going to be having to part with My current rig that has treated me very well for 2 years I may need to sell it before everyone looks at this thread and thinks it is out dated | |

You've got me wanting to build one Jason and I've never even seen one in person lol I doubt I would have anyone to comp against but they sure look fun. The clod center + berg outer + miniclod idea really has me excited. Wish I had the parts/tools here to give it a try. |

Yeah this is awesome. I have been reading everything I can. Just noticed the Bully's are 14mm, stock axials are 12mm correct? Gotta get some rims and tires! X-lock 40 series and cyclone 40 series? Or can I get away with Axial 40 series rims AX8073. Doesn't look like I would save too much $$ |

I think that one thing that needs to be mentioned is IMHO the key to keeping a Super alive is try and stay as light as possible with the wheels and tires. If you need to add weight get creative and keep it out of the tires.Rotational mass is a bad thing when you are talking about a 6.5-7 inch tire spinning and grabbing something. |

For the guys that have not had the chance to watch Supers run here are a couple of videos that show just a small part of what a Super on twin ESC's and 4 wheel steer can do. And honestly I do not think this rig even scratches the surface of what is to come in the future as long as guys are not scared to roll there sleeves up and get creative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsQ8SdBMjng http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEoO_...eature=related |

My super is 7.5-8lbs and each wheel/tire/foam is only 12oz each . See pics above. I don't run memory foams in super tires.I have about an additional 8 oz up front (total) weight on the knuckles. | |
