Decided to redesign and clean up my bulu 2. I have been crawling pretty hard with it whenever I have time and it was definately time for some maintenance. Rebuilt the axles, and cleaned the bearings, same with the tranny. Then went on to redesign the front link setup. Along with some other little modifications while I was at it. Im starting a new project soon as im done with finals in a few weeks, I cant wait!!

Specs
Chassis: Bulu 2
WB: 12.75"
Axles: TLT with full tamiya bearings
Tires: Moabs with hpi split 5's and 2nd gen rock rings
Body: Rock Pleazer
Tranny: Pede with bearings and alum idler
Motor: Lathe (sometimes I switch to MM)
ESC: LRP (waiting on my tekin 2 to arrive)
Links: Revo pushrods all around except top links on front
Shocks: MGT aluminum threaded (4.25") (now im using t maxx red aluminum shocks)
Servo: JR 8800z
Battery: GP1100 6 cell (tucks nicely over the top links)

so here are some pics while its still clean

Nice looking crawler. I just picked up the Rock Pleazer body for my project crawler and had a question for ya. What is the track width of yours and do you have any problems with rubbing the body? Mine is roughly 10" without any widening yet. Not that this can't be fixed with some trimming but thought I would ask.

robvbro81 · 01-12-2006, 12:33 PM

Nice crawler....Did you make the rock rings or were those bought??

Unimoger · 01-12-2006, 01:01 PM

how about blue berry ferry?

blue for the body, berry for the red rock ring bolts and ferry for the builder......

1BadJeepBruiser · 01-12-2006, 01:48 PM
