bergs, 4 wide sides, 2 sets of super 300's, and 4 servos it adds up quick.

1. I don't like the weight of the bullys.
2. I want crazy steering, doubt the bullys will give me over 50 degrees
3. I am not sold on the durability of the bullys.

I did go look on the site and see I could pick 2 of them up for $200. That'd knock over $300 off this build...

[DiEzel]

Oh god .

[jason]

Don't just roll your eyes flatbiller, tell me why the bullys are better than super 300 equipted bergs, besides price.

[DiEzel]

The gears are beef, we all ready have enough problems with 3rd gear in the bergs, throw more weight and bigger tires and more Volts ? Kaaaapow.

I highly considered the bergs, but ill sacrifice some steering for some strength. Let alone the cost difference.

OH i also was rollin the eyes @ the Hi-Jack LOL

Clod doesn't even need a rebuild, just needs one tierod, and 2 servos and it'd be in tip top shape. It'll be getting sold to fund this build.

1. No actually i am not going to add much of any weight, if any at all.
2. Front and rear steer with 30 degrees at each end, is totally different than front and rear steer with 50 degrees at each end.
3. I am honestly asking in this thread, I know nothing about the bullys just seen that early on there we durability issues. I am not 100% sold on the berg route either.

I cannot for the life of me find a pic of how far the superbullys turn. Anybody have one?

[jason]

More research to add to the thread.

These are in regards to the super bully axles.

They did have a failure and did not finish a full day, not in the XVD's at all though. I'm sure RC4WD and the driver with them are working on a cause/solution.

I didn't find a post saying what the failure was in the set of super bullys that were at nats.

I am like you--I beat the "piss" out of mine and I run my rig at least every other day practicing--and I have not broke a single thing in my bully's.

Super or 2.2? That extra tire height makes a big difference.

2.2 but I am under the impression for the super the gear assy is the same or "very" simular to the 2.2 version.

I will buy another set of bully's for my son's rig....

Jason,
I believe it was "The Eye" running them. Not exactly sure what the issue was but I heard it had something to do with added after market gears. I could be wrong though.

I will posting my build here shortly. These things are just sick...

[jason]

How far do they steer?
