wannabe bulu2 rebuild

well, i didnt start off on the right foot when I got there, I bought a new backpack, one those packs with water pouch... end up leaking. Then I get there and forgot I need to mount my rec. esc. Get those done. travis and I walk down and start running our trucks, I noticed a clicking noise. Great..... End up tearing the rear axle down and put my e-clip back in and shim the other side since I only have one e-clip. Started to put it back together and relized that my pinion wont work b.c the hole for the pin wont line up and have to switch that out to my first pinion fianlly get my rear axle back together and crawling for while then all of suddent my truck just smoking like house on fire. I ended up frying the esc . I dont know what caused it, must be shorting out somewhere. Big thanks to travis giving me hand and getting my truck up and running again.I had freaking blast ! Here the pics I snap off. But overall I'am very happy with the setup.Guess the saying goes... if you aint breaking or frying something, you aint wheeling. On to the pics.......



Now on to the carnage.......

Small update... I had a comp on sat, Overall I'am very pleased with how the truck performed. I did do some small stuff
- I moved rec and esc to one side and low as I could.
- switch out the fried tazer to moped, but I will be getting another tazer.
- I took off the battery bracket and strap my battery to top front link, worked much better.

I love your idea for the 4 link setup. simple bend in the upper links. its awesome good work. the truck looks awesome also with the back half cut off!!!

??? Sorry i just had to quote that.
what is he talking about? It's obvious that those tires weren't moabs, even in the bag. Maybe it will have the spirit of Moab

I guess. I have set of moabs, but need wheels, I'am finding that mashers are working better then moabs here in tx

reworked the rear little.....



Been running this for little while now, works pretty good so far. One question for everyone does the placement of my eleticronics seem ok for blance ? Or do I want to move things around ?

Electronics seem fine to me... You have to much of a pinion angle going on at the rear axle. Get the rear driveline more inline. Also watch that rear upper link setup. I've seen many break right at the bend where that threaded rod passes through. Better option is to find a narrow maxx lower A-arm and use it as the upper 3 link setup.
