Bully porn

and on with the bully porn- so far i have only rebuilt the rear. i detonated a bearing in the rear tube and going to have to wait for a new bearing. so i figure ill wait to do the fronts since im ordeing a new bearing kit and will save me some hassles and hopefully no more breaking of bearing on my part. so heres a few pics

Rocking the Rc4wd bling-

mmm parts

cdw before swapping of parts

Much needed upgrade "thumbsup"

Bearing destruction!

hopefully i can get the bearing kit in soon so i can get this finished up and out on the rocks

i would like to know what you use which numb Pinion on bully axles?

 

[punkuup5150]

right now im useing stock pinions. i run a thicker gage wire in the rear to counter the clodstall. ive thought about gearing down one but with me running 35turns and 3s i have way more power then i need allready

You say you run a bigger gauge wire to the rear motor than you do the front and that gives you less clod stall.

 

[punkuup5150]

its basic electricity flow, pretty much path of lease resistance is where the powers going to go, this has gotten rid of 99% of all clod stall i had previous and i like the 1% it still has lol. i think im running 16gage to the front and 12 to the rear. i havent finished with the front axle yet im going to tear into it now and also work on my steering look for pics soon

 

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I use the same gauge, but from my dig switch I run shorter wire to the rear than the front.:|

 

[punkuup5150]

ok just got done rebuilding the front end. came acrost a problem. i have the beefed up knuckles and tubes. unfortunatly the brass bushing that goes in the knuckles is to short. im going to send racer an email about this as it seems i may not be the only one to have this problem and hopefully they can get it worked out. next is steering

 

[finishline]

hurry up allready

 

[punkuup5150]

im uploading pics now dont get your panties in a bunch

 

[punkuup5150]

all done and built up holy crap these things are so much lighter

and the problem i found >_< hopefully rc4wd has a solution-

and not sure if anyones seen the awsome kit xirtic has for steering so i took a pic of it. looks so great with the black bullys i wonder if he had insider knowledge about the color of the axles before produceing these

 

[The Eye]

the Build looks very cool. "thumbsup" How much weight did you cut? and what are you weighing now?

Thanks, as I too am trying to build a lightweight Bully and trying to compare the weight.

 

[slowngreen]

Looks good Punk, whats your wieght now?

 

[finishline]

looks good were is the vid:mrgreen:

 

[punkuup5150]

i got to get this steering figured out first lol. running into a snag need to play with how it all sits for a bit and see what i come up with. and there wont be a vid for a while i need a new bearing before i can do ne thing >_< and as for weight loss i have no idea as of yet the axles not on the truck yet. im guessing ill be sitting at right around 6.5 pounds-7 im running alum links and solid steel top links and need to go to a lightweight wheel

 

[punkuup5150]

my steering problem >_< im going to try and mount the servo on top this time. and also play with the spacer placement and get rid of the bend ive come acrost.
