Never get tired of seeing this rig do its thing, keep up the great work brother 👍👍👍👍
I never get tired of running it either! I had it out for about 10 minutes before it started raining this afternoon. Just some crawling around the stone wall of the flower bed. The thing is just too much fun. Gonna have to start doing some more mods and see if I can squeeze out any additional performance. I'm amazed at how good it is for rtr. The more you do to it the better it gets from what everyone says.
Very good driving, Sir.
Thank you! I was only just getting started in this video. I took this rig on a tour of VT's finest crawl spots over a few months.
Bro!!! You Rock!!!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching! Very much appreciated.
Dude this vidoe is amazing!!!
Great commentary!
Totally getting the rtr.
They great deal right now…..
This rig very much became my zen. I had entered in WRCCA 2.2 Pro up in Maine for September. I forfeited my entry back in Mid April not even knowing my father was about to pass away. That said, it is rough being back in the Midwest when I was just getting into this thing. I spent a ton of time crawling it and doing video. I just recently had it out for the second time in 5 months since living in Illinois. Got some Urban Crawl on. These things are sick and there is so much you can do to them. It doesn't stop here. It goes decades deep with MOA and their history.
I like your approach to this hobby. I do the same, if I don't understand a certain aspect I do prefer to get her ready to run and then deconstruct it and build it up how I want to drive. Seems to work for me LoL.
I was way overthinking things when I got this rig. I still run factory electronics and motors in it and I'm perfectly content with it. Part of the reason people think they need to upgrade stuff is mingling with the "pros" who endlessly talk shit about rigs they don't like. That's what I've learned. The Bully II is the kid that gets beat up at school everyday by the cool kids on the sports teams but still goes home and slays lines that its oppressors can barely complete.
Yes 💯 agree. I just want to impress myself LMAO. I go way up into the Arkansas mountains.
Awesome climbing
I can't wait to get it out again. It's an amazing machine to learn with.
Hello,
cool video great crawling,Nice place!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Thanks for watching, Seven! Some big boulders!
@@VermontScaleCustoms 😀
I got mine out couple months ago . Put 2 new esc's in it and got it going again . They are nice crawlers . I use a 650mah 3s fits tray on front perfect , and added the brass to front axle helped it . Awesome rig look's great ...! I changed the hubs on wheels to a 20mm hub got a little extra steering cheap .
Yeah, they're super fun rigs. I'm sure this could use a few upgrades but I'll add stuff as needed. I'm on the fence about going all out with this because I've got my eye on something.
Wow impressive
Yes it is. I don't get to run it enough, unfortunately.
Have fun with it. Enjoy it the more you run it the more you'll see how the ESC will stutter. 😅 Then you noticed that the servo won't be strong enough to get you out of certain until he gives out. That's what I went through. Out the box mine came with no bec.😅 Now after a couple of years of running I upgraded all the electronics. But at first I ran it the way it was stock.😂
I love it when people stop by and comment on a rig's first video and tell me how much it needs changed. It's funny that I ran this almost daily for 3 months in almost every single rock crawling condition I could imagine and I never once ran into any issues. People generally don't read manuals or mess with anything stock because they just automatically dunning/kruger everything with a blanket answer. After dialing the dual rate down to 70-71% on the throttle, bumping the steering dual rate up to 104% and getting a 70Kg brushless servo, clocking the axles front & rear, installing Dravtechs, modding the foams, modifying the links, it runs as good as any other comp rig I've watched videos on. My thought would be to take a minute to look at the multitude of video I recorded of this thing over the last few months and rethink the opinions of the stock motors and electronics.
Think i have waited to long!!!
You probably waited just the right amount of time :) I paid $569 for mine, plus tax!
Add knuckle weights, and tune tune tune. IMO your driving is spot on. You will learn the awesome things the MOA can do. WHOLE new world of crawling sir! Enjoy! Look forward to lots more videos on it. ( I am a MOA guy at heart)
Have been thinking about the Dlux brass. Any thoughts on the carbon fiber Ackerman options for those? Is that anything you have experience with? I already put the Bully II brass ones on about a month ago and it made a big f'n difference. So psyched I got this thing. Literally just ordered Dravtechs about 20 minutes ago. Working on the foams at the moment. I also picked up a bunch of spare parts for it, too. Ended up with an entire front axle assembly and other bits and pieces for $80!
@@VermontScaleCustoms I am sorry, I dont have information on those. I have always run my old school clodbuster axles. I only crawler for me, not comps. Used to build comp rigs before the bully ever came out. I have wanted the bully II for many years now. Watch every video ever maid about it LoL.
Someone just had a rig on Marketplace for sale set up with those axles the other day. They weren't asking much, either. Like $80 for a roller with those on it. I wish it were something I knew more about years ago because I would have probably gotten into it way sooner.
What a cool climb 😎 this is a very nice rig indeed 😱
What started all of this was buying an ECX Temper Gen II the first winter I got into RC. $115 on eBay and I was bitten by the comp rig bug. Fast forward a couple of years and this is the logical progression, I guess. Probably not going to be a whole of of scale detail work done this year. Mainly crawling and preparing for comps!
Starting with an RTR, you can get a better appreciation of the rig improving as you add upgrades.
Oh, for sure. I'm also in talks with Cui Wei about a W3 chassis. I've got plans.
I’d love to see a colab with RC ROCK CRAWLER
I'd definitely be into it. He and communicate quite a lot. I just wish he wasn't half way around the world from where I am!
I have one. So awesome. You have to buy it
Great rigs. I don't get to run mine enough.
Hope you tread locked everything as they are known for losing screws ❤
Yeah, I've been running this thing for over a year and haven't had a single one come out yet.👍👍
These things are crazy looking I know for certain they could do some amazing sick lines I guarantee it but can you ride brushless motors on them
The world of MOA/Pro 2.2/Pro Shafty/Superclass/etc is so massively deep. It existed sort of long before scale really was all that big. It's that it died out maybe 10 years ago from what the guys who have been doing it that long have said.
Basically, every single possible mod you can think of has been done in this class. And the guys doing it absolutely do not mess around when it comes to modding. World class competitors take these rigs so seriously. Lots of machinists and highly customized, specialized hardware. Brushless is literally everywhere in these rigs. Transmitters that cost $700. Servos that cost the same. You name it. There are $3k rigs out there that would blow your mind.
That said, this thing runs like a dream with it setup the way I have it. While not super slow creep like brushless, I haven't had any real problems yet. 2x 35t 540 motors on a 40A ESC (may upgrade that if I feel it's needed) and a dedicated BEC, 70Kg brushless servo. Yeah, I'm ready to dig in and learn some stuff with it.
Did you cut the roof panel yourself ? I haven't seen that before .Look's good
Yep, just standard .024" sheet metal. Cuts easily with tin snips and works easily for how thin it is.
In the video you mention clocking the motor. Do you have more Info for how to do this? Curious if extending the upper links will accomplish the same.
Yes, I swapped all the long straights that were on the lower links with short angled ones from RC4WD. I moved the long rod ends to the uppers and it pushed the rear link riser out pretty far. It also brought the wheelbase into WMCCA spec for 2.2 pro.
Would you still recommend this ? Recently near where i live a riverbed was "renatured" and there are block stones that unfortunately are too big for SXC24 rigs but might be perfect for this although i always said 1/10 is too big, i have no use for that but now i might have. Is a lot of money though. (Especially considering how much money i have pumped into SCX24 stuff), i dont know how much it will cost to maintain this/spare parts, not sure if i need upgrades if it runs like this. Probably i should not do it.
I know this may sound pedantic BUT I recommend assessing how much you want to get into comp rigs and setting them up to run properly. That's not just advice, that's my experience with getting mine tuned and I'm still miles away from where it should/could be.
This thing is a blast straight out of the box. It gets tons of sh*t talked about it because it's an RTR and professionals love to belittle beginners and their choices. That said, Samu Sarka, #1 at World's multiple times over, still runs one. Albeit highly modified at this point. They need TLC out of the box. There are a couple of great links and resources out there for them. FB has a Bully II group dedicated solely to this rig. Some decent people in there and also some I-can't-believe-you-bought-an-rtr-rock-crawler-what-were-you-thinking types.
They're a commitment, like any rig. It's just that they involve that much more tuning if you really want to make them shine. I love mine and will definitely never sell it. My channel would currently be so much more focused on 1/10 comp rigs at the moment if I didn't have to relocate back to Illinois temporarily. The only reason I'm not posting much about this rig these days is because I have no place to run it that can challenge it enough and not just be single lines on rocks in parking lot.
I am all-in for this thing if that's any indication. I've only added Dravtech 90s, a 70Kg brushless servo, swapped out a bunch of rod ends to make it WRCCA spec legal for wheelbase, added RC4WD brass weights up front, brass hubs, and cleaned up the wiring a bunch. It's still in dire need of more work.
@@VermontScaleCustoms Thank you. I should wait. I often want to start something new before i have really done what i just do. I have several SCX24 chassis, Mazz, Hard Park, printed Echo and more that i have just about finished, ran two batteries and not much more. About working on the setups - i dont have a good way to test several things on the same trail to see differences. No space for an indoor course like yours. I have one awesome spot with "24 scale rocks" in the woods but i cant really take three rigs there or change stuff there to see what happens comparing setups. I was there with the plain Warthog and thought well that runs fine too, why am i spending so much time and money.
Also thanks for mentioning Samu Sarka, interesting but to be honest thats much too serious for me, all that stress, competitions, perfection, serious guys counting mistakes - also this seems to be timed, right ? For me its really sth. like Meditation. And play, i want to play. Also this makes me understand why guys say they don't need brushless, sure they don't when competition crawling means to get over obstacles as fast and efficient as possile. I want to watch my tire squish for two Minute while it goes over a rock.
Did you have any issues with shoddy assembly out of the box?
I think a lot of people like to claim this thing falls apart in less than two minutes out of the box. I think it was on the my second or third outing that I finally started to see things loosen up. 10 minutes on the bench with a set of tools and some threadlock and it was solid. To this day, I still haven't broken or stripped anything, I'm still on factory ESC and motors, and I have zero complaints about the quality of the tires. The things are far better than I was originally led to believe. Maybe RC4WD had a bad run on them at one point and people hung on that reputation but I don't think they're remotely as bad as people say. The RTR gets my vote of confidence, for sure.
@@VermontScaleCustoms thank you, I appreciate your feedback. I think a few minutes and a little bit of thread lock is a small price to pay for a damn good crawler. Thanks again
@@tundrasr5709 ✌agreed. Happy trails!

Go to RC4WD's site, find the Bully II RTR, click on add to cart. You can do the affirm thing through PayPal for like 6 payments. Or, if you're loaded, just buy one. That way you can figure this shit out with me on weekends. I'm on a mission, man.
Pull the camera back some don't get so close to the rig
LOL. That's the whole point of doing video with a gimbal rig on a stick at the bottom of the transmitter. I've been doing video this way for 3 years. Not stopping now.
@@VermontScaleCustomsI’d love to see a pic of your video setup.
