Bullies on the Diablo

[MasterShake44]

I sent the Crowbar off for Mike to play with so I conferted the Bullies over to my Diablo chassis. I haven't really gotten to run it on anything yet I just finished the build last night. Here's some pics. I am going to fit a body on it too.:D

Looks too high. Lower the COG. This is what I was going to do with my Diablo as well.

Bend the lower links and get some shorter shocks. Should work out real nice.

Get a rock pile yet??:D

why didnt you just build yourself anouther crowbar?

When Mike gets the first set of prototypes he wants me to test one so I figured I would just wait until I got my hands on that instead of building another myself.:D

No I don't have a better rock pile, I was thinking about having the kids and dog lay down in the living room. LOL
Actually that battery pack is just temporary but as it sits the COG is pretty low suprisingly. I can set it on it's side and it balances there. I am thinking about swapping out the batteries for one of my sub-c packs and putting it on the rear axle then she'll be a real "low rider". Thanks for the tips!

[MasterShake44]

Thanks for the COG suggestions. I replaced the battery pack and moved the upper shock mount positions. I didn't want to change the shocks because I really like the action on these internal spring shocks from RC4WD. They are nica and long too, allows alot of mounting options. I am including a couple pics to show the dropped height and the very stable side balancing act. I can't wait to crawl on the kids!:eek:

Are you using the Diablo with the original 13.5" chassis - or the new shorter (competition legal) 12.5" version?

It makes no difference crawling over the kids and the dog - but just incase the need to compete crops up - have you got enough room for the Bully axles with 12.5" chassis?

If so, it could be a great rig to stiff the Berg!

It looks cool in any case!

[MasterShake44]

I don't know what length the chassis is either way I could file the final inch off the end to make it legal. The wheel base as it sits is exactly 12.5" and I got a body on her now, here's a picture. Thanks for the comments, I thought this thread was dead.

what are you going to paint the body?

[MasterShake44]

Well I painted it. The paint is Spaztix color shift purple, teal, gold, orange, with blue back color. The camera doesn't pick it up but it looks cool as crap in person.:D

that is sick looking!!!!

[MasterShake44]

I just got home from work and the heavy duty 4 link mounts and the new Bully axle CVD's were waiting for me! I know what I'm gonna be doing tonight! Thanks for the beefy parts Mike, I'll be sure to test them out!:D
