Looks and runs great! I still have my xr10 after all these years, thinking of getting the Bully and your video has convinced me to buy one before it’s too late!
Its sort of lost technoilogy, not sure if modern radios are still supporting MOA. I'm sure they can still be manually programmed. RCCrawler.com is the comp crawling compendium. All details are out there.
I really want to build one like this but rear steer is a must for me. My kid's and I built a quarter acre course and compete with each other almost every weekend. I need to up my game because my daughter is getting too good lol. She's 6 and has beat me and her twelve year old brother a few times now. She made me teach her how to pick good line's off-road when she was four. She won't let me go shore fishing without her. I make my own roads across the lava fields, through river bed's and some rainforest action in a few places to find new spots here on the big island Hawaii. Fishing rig is a 22r with 20r head powered, 4-link'd samurai with full width fj80 axles 3" spacers on double beadlocked 40's. It does what I need it to. Gonna build a a new one soon but don't know what yet. Might let my kid's pick.
These perches are from back in the day, not sure who made them. Someone on RCC. Dluxfab makes them now as well and they have adjustable preload. The springs are Losi MiniT springs. Thanks for watching!
@@EvolVillainRC Thanks for the info. Been trying to track some down. You mentioned you got a great deal on the big bore shocks, one of mine are defective. Would you share where you got yours? Always look forward to your vids! Thanks.
@@gmummy Well I would reach out to Traxxas first and see if they will take care of it. I picked mine up off of Ebay from a seller who was selling them for 22 bucks a pair shipped. I decided im going to put these on my sport rig and I ordered some Dravtech 3.75" for the MOA.
Beautiful. I would love to see RC4WD do a 1/24 version! Tired of seeing the SCX24 getting all the attention these days. We need more true 1/24 comp crawlers on the market.
Awesome rig !! I wish that more companies , instead of developing now days 1.9 scaler trucks only , also had 2.2 shaftys and moa kits. I would like to ask how do you manage to have underdrive on rear axle? i guess a kind of a trimming? What transmitter are you using for the specific (more than capable)rig ?
It was more difficult in the old days, but you could basically trim back whatever channel you were mixing with throttle to dial it back. Newer Transmitters have MOA mixing built in. I'm using a DX4S here and in the MOA mix you can assign a trim switch to adjust throttle bias. This dials back the throttle % to the rear wheels. Pretty easy with this radio. I agree with you about companies making MOA comp rigs. I'm hoping its making as comeback after being all but destroyed by 1.9 scale trucks. Its seeing signs of life. I'm doing what I can to get it out there for people to see. PS Dune is one of my favorite movies.
@@EvolVillainRC the REAL DUNE movie from the 80s or the lame Sci-fi channel remake with the goofy CLOTH still suits designed by fricken jean paul gautier? 🤷😒
Great rig. Really cool. I'm building a Bully II and would like to know if this could be done with a sensored brushless motor setup. I'm new to this form of crawling and I'd like to learn more. Problem, not sure where to look. Thanks
I recieved my bully 2.2 today. NO tx instructions. Can I beg YOU as to what does what on the 4th function (on off on slide switch) near the front of the tx? I got the rest figured out. Thanks in advance!
Sorry I missed this man, I didn't buy the RTR so I have no idea what the functions are. My guess would be unused channel, or some sort of overdrive mode. the 4 funtions are usually Front Dig, Rear Dig, 4WD and a mix that allows you to under drive the rear axle allowing it to stick to rocks like a goat.
@@EvolVillainRC No biggie. I got it going & kept it a week. Y? NO challenge! It went EVERYWHERE! I have a course at my house. Its ruff for a scaler. I built it to be hard for my full blown modded capra. Capra will go from 1 end to finish in 25 seconds. The bully 2 went to the end, turned around & back to start in 30 seconds! I did make $$$ when I sold it. LOL!
@Evol Villain RC what radio are you using to get the rear dig? I have a noble nb4 and I'm struggling to set it up unless I need a twin stick Ps : love the build! Made me get my first bully!! Thanks
I'm using a DX4S. It has native support for MOA. Makes it super easy! I have a Futaba 4PL that works as well, but it takes some programming to make it work.
@@EvolVillainRC ahh OK, I've managed to have it switchable between both motors and just front on ch2 via a mix but can't seem to get it to do ch3 which I have as rear and no ch2 in the mix 🤔 Ill have to have a look into it thanks
Evil ! hope all is well , really cool watching ! .. Yup, need one ! Hey .., do you talk with Josh? and do you watch his live streams ? .. Lol .. take the bully out and make another vid .. U. Can. Do. It... ! change it up and try another set of tires .. I know I'll watch it lol ✌
I still drop in on Josh's live streams occasionally. I'm too busy to be too much of a fan boy, but I do pester him into answering my texts occasionally..lol I've been wanting to revive RC Car Cast lately. I may do it solo.
Thanks for posting! I just put together my kit. The included shocks included a bunch of spring options. Did you try those at all or just go with what you had?
I think the point of portals is to gain extra clearence under the pumpkin on a shaft driven vehicle. This isnt shaft driven so that problem does not exist. I've never seen an MOA axle with portals.
That’s funny, in my case it’s slightly different. I’ve been trying to acquire a complete rtr moa crawler like the bullyII rtr but they’re out of stock now and the guy that was buying my NOS Axial XR10 kit so I’m stuck.... for a while at least.
The DX4S has an MOA mix built in. you can assign underdrive/overdrive to any switch on the radio. works the same way as dig, but it just changes drive percentage instead of going full brake.
@@EvolVillainRChey thanks for the fast reply. Thats good to know! Getting back into crawling in the spring with one of these bullys. Used to run a berg rig but the fact that rc4wd is still making these makes it a no brainer to go with.
Do a video showing all of your setup and I’ll try to help you. Idk if that radio has the capability to do MOA. If it’s a manual channel mixing scenario it maybe outside of my experience.
@@EvolVillainRC thank you for your reply. what radio are you using? Ihave been all over the forums. I want to get the overdrive setup on a switch. ill make a video. thank you
@EvolVillainRC It is impossible with the rugged. I am going to buy the dx5 pro as my dx4s will do front and rear dig as well as bias but 3 of my switches are broken. Thank you Evol
This is the best video on Bully 2 I've seen so far. Good job on the build!
Awesome build. I had the XR10 back in the day. Then got into Scale crawlers. Your video makes me want to build another M.O.A. Great job brother.
Looks and runs great! I still have my xr10 after all these years, thinking of getting the Bully and your video has convinced me to buy one before it’s too late!
The bully is way more capable than the XR ever was definitely worth buying the kit
Would love to see a video discussing motors/ESCs/radios/ etc how to choose/configure for these MOA trucks. I think I'm going to build one...
Its sort of lost technoilogy, not sure if modern radios are still supporting MOA. I'm sure they can still be manually programmed. RCCrawler.com is the comp crawling compendium. All details are out there.
@Nick D did you get yours built? I can help you out with that.
I sure know what you mean missing a xr10. One of those crawlers I figured Axial would never get rid of. Nice build.
I just bought the rtr and it has front dig rear dig this thing is solid machine!

That is a awesome rig! Great video 👍
That dual esc from Holmes Hobby's that is two esc in one. I thought the noy were for brushless, but I noticed your running brush motors
correct. Brushed motors are ideal for crawling
Awesome! Thanks! Where do you get spring perches for the big bore shocks and are those losi springs?

I really need help setting up electronic dig. I got the mixing done for the escs but not sure how to dig and overdrive rc6gs v3 is my radio. thank you
I got a dx5 rugged and was hoping to get some help on the dig setup. what size pinion did you use? thank you
Is that noise just part of the rig or is something interfering with the servo

sure can, the yellow and black rig in this video is on brushless - th-cam.com/video/sRLtJUJP3uI/w-d-xo.html

would you consider putting the revolver motor in to get a little more wheel speed I have one in a crawler and its pretty nice.

when connecting the Dual ESC to the receiver did you remove the red wire from one cable ?
anytime you use an external BEC you need to exclude the ESC onboard BEC, by cutting wires, pulling pins etc.
were did you bay
Hi what radio did you use awsome truck
This is a Spektrum DX4S
@ thank you
Thing is incredible! Looks like the laws of physics don’t actually apply to it! Seriously!
Could you use a futaba t3pv with a bully? Been thinking about a crawler/scaler. Would you recommend this car? Nice vid! 👍😎🤚

does kcrc still run a 2.2 comp crawl class??
not yet. I am working on that. I spied several 2.2 MOA rigs at the indoor challenge.

Thanks for posting! I just put together my kit. The included shocks included a bunch of spring options. Did you try those at all or just go with what you had?
Just went with the tried and true traxxas bigbores then. Running Dlux on it now.
I have a question, if the axles were portal axels instead or regular axles wouldn't be more capable or it would be too top heavy?
I think the point of portals is to gain extra clearence under the pumpkin on a shaft driven vehicle. This isnt shaft driven so that problem does not exist. I've never seen an MOA axle with portals.
Is there reverse?! I have not been able to find the answer, Im sure this is a dumb question, but can i get reverse in this and if so how?
The HH ESCs in mine def have reverse. Comping would be impossible without reverse. REVERSE!

Evol Villain RC no that wasn’t me. I’ve not listed it for sale yet. Just a couple FaceBook groups.
@@Trindal PM me on facebook. I'd be interested to hear what you are looking to get out of it.
Evol Villain RC, sent
Impossible to get one of them right now....every one is out of stock.
Will RC4WD continue making it?
Awesome rig!
I know its a bummer. Hoping other manufacturers will catch on and make more comp rigs. My last contact with them said they have not discontinued it.
Link to buy it 🙏
So how are you underdriving the rear axle on comand like that? A little lost there

Are you running the dx4s??
yep
Is this rig pretty much stock? Looking into getting a RC4WD bully 2
Its got Dlux shocks, Dlux goats tires and VP wheels/hubs/weights. Electronics are all aftermarket.
Length of the vanquish servo horn 20mm or 24mm?
20mm
Curious what radio you're running.
dx4s
What type of shocks ?
In this video they are Traxxas, but now I'm D-lux Dravtech
what transmitter do you like to use with the dual esc set up?
Spektrum Dx4S or futaba 4PL
How do you get it to overdrive. I have the dig way right now
I use a DX4s. It makes it pretty easy. www.manualslib.com/manual/1201292/Spektrum-Dx4s.html?page=14
its not overdriving as much as it is "underdriving" the rear motors.
Nice one
where to buy it and at what price🙏
bought mine from RPP Hobby
Sweet!
What battery u running bro
Lectron pro 3S 860mah.
How long does it last
hi, what esc is that?
full build with all details here: th-cam.com/video/WhExmADIh4k/w-d-xo.html 4:58 mark
