New BullyII tip

[Pedro Lahoz]

As I have accrued some rock crawling experience with my BII, I noticed that the rear transmission casing/motor gets “stuck” on the edge of the rocks. I wondered why the rear links were so arched, if the case was on the way. Why not straighter links that would help the transmission rise above obstacles? The other option which I implemented, is tilting counterclockwise the axle, so the transmission case rises. I noticed watching his videos that Samu Sarka’s Bully 2 has the rear axle tilted upward, and his links seem to be the stock ones.
The easy no cost way to achieve this is to switch the long rod ends on the bottom links for the shorter ones on the upper (straight) links (both ends that attach to the rear part of the chassis).
May be hard to visualize, but looking at your bully you will understand what I am saying.
Hope that may help

What you described is called clocking. Your adjusting the angle of the axle up. I did this to both front and rear for a bit more clearance under the motors.

I achieved the same thing using RPM ball ends #80512.
