Default Bulu Design w/ stock tranny.

I want to just start this by saying that I by no means intend to ruin business or cause an upset of ORCRC. I merely am just trying to acquire some dimensions so that I could build something like a Bulu but with a different transmission. I dont plan on changing my transmission unless i can find a more proper tranny. If this interferes or people do nto want to give out information. Please just delete this thread. I have no means of causing trouble or stealing business.

Topic-
I'm starting to build a TLT that will hopefully be a good crawler. I've got everything but a transmission and I dont plan on switching out to a new tranny for atleast 2 months as long as it holds. But w/ 2.2 tires, new shocks, new links I want to atleast attempt a new chassis as I have done alot of custom work in other areas of RC.

I want to know if anyone cuold give me the outer dimensions of a Bulu2 chassis. length and width of one pane is good.

Thank you,
Eddie

ORCRC? Oregon RC Rock Crawlers? What do they have to do with the Bulu chassis line? Besides doing 99% of our testing, and that most of the ORCRC Competition 2.2 class runs the chassis but that's it.

It's RCRockGear(RCRG) that makes the chassis.

6" x 2.5" Does this help? Since you plan to run everything different why would you need Bulu chassis dimensions? Doesn't make much sense to me but what do I know....

You have yet to mention what tranny you plan to use... perhaps only slight mods have to be done to fit it into a REAL Bulu chassis. Not sure about the people making copies of our Bulu chassis.. yes, I know who you all are as RCRG has eyes and ears all over the place.

I plan on using the stock one. My apologies for not clarifying that.

I had honestly thought that ORCRC designed it. I thought that like two of the guys in the group owned a CNC and milled it or cut it. Again I'm sorry.

I'm using the Bulu2 as a starting place because its something that I would like to own. Its like owning a model car instead of buying the real car. I dont have 75$ to spend on the chassis nor the money for another transmission.

Honestly, I'm trying to model my truck similar to your(Toyofast) jeep. This is my first crawler, and while I own many other cars and have raced and modded. I dont have alot of experience in crawling. ONly in fabricating.

6" x 2.5" Thank you.

Nope... RCRockGear does the Bulu chassis. I am owner, hackster is the R&D and rbgerrish is our playgirl cover boy

Well... I'm not even sure when more Bulu's will be made.

That POS? The Bulu chassis creates a competion level crawler, I tried to keep it as a fun truck but the chassis makes it tough to keep fun. I really liked the Clod chassis I used to run...Look for another return of that beater in a while.

If you have a lot of experience in fab work then creating your own chassis should be an easy task without Bulu chassis measurements... right? Or :?

Haha....

Doesnt every piece of equipment developed for a purpose involve some knowledge of its purpose?

I like the jeep, plus it gives me an excuse to use my old E-maxx body, which is completely slaughtered. Once I trim it, it will be nice.
