first kit build

[Lotek514]

Hi,

Just wanted to share my progress, received my kit the other day and spent about 5 hours building it last night.

just the basic rolling chassis, still learned a lot. Including the fact I don't have any 7mm sockets that fit those wheels!!

I saw mention online of special tools for those, which I'll see if I can find tomorrow at a local rc shop I'm going to go pickup some parts at.

It's so much fun to be able to build something in an evening that has so much complexity and awesomeness built in!

I did notice the links for the front shocks were inverted.

It's kind of overwhelming, when it comes to choice with regards to electronics available.

Really impressed with the quality of the parts in the kit.

Hi tjsnyder,

Everything in those photos is stock from the Bully 2 MOA crawler kit from RC4WD. Their specs say:

Wheels
Type: 2.2" Lightweight Competition Beadlock Wheels
Hub: Hex Type
Width: 25.3mm
Back Spacing: 15mm

And the outer rings are made of carbon fiber, inside is delrin.
