|  BULU 3 link setup
Hey everyone, I just thought I would post some info and pics of my 3 link BULU. There is more slack in this setup than with 4 link but for some reason I cant get the 4 link to work correctly. If you need anymore info about this please post questions.....I have been flooded with PM's with questions.LOL  The thing I like the most about this is that when you compress the suspension, the axels stay level, or where ever you set them. This is a simple mod.

How is that 3rd link going to keep the axle centered?

 I never figured it out. I think it was the way my shocks were mounted though. | |

This too is a 3-link setup on a Bulu2 chassis... This one works killer too. All stock holes are used, links are more parallel and keeps everything nice and tight. BTW, this is the top 2.2 truck in the ORCRC group. | |

That looks good. Does his axels "roll" when it articulates?

By "roll" I assume you mean does it rotate forward or rearward(pinion angle change) when the suspension moves in a straight vertical(up & down) movement, which hardly ever occurs on a crawler.... but no, it doesn't. This rig which was built by S-n-T Fab is the best Bulu2 rig ever built. Everyone is trying to keep up with good 'ol Dave, so far people are just trying to copy his setups. He's about 2 steps ahead of us, but he builds 1:1 wheelin' rigs often enough to know a good amount of techniques  | |
