Crawl Spec Retrac - Bully Style

nice steven, I wish I had the extra money to build a super before nationals. That is one class I will always love competing in.

Thanks Kevin! I love Super Class, by far my favorite class. There is nothing like designing and building your own rig.

Made an axle plate to hold the Holmes BR-XL and the Nomadio transceiver. The Punk dig will be going on another small plate on the motor side, next to the servo. I am putting all of the electronics on the front axle so that I can make quick wheelbase changes and not have to worry about a whole bunch of wire lengths. Only the rear servo and motor wires will be coming through the chassis.

I've got some updates coming for this rig, but wanted to show the 13 slug version of the Bully Knuckle weight holders. These are for XTM Thorns/Pentos and HPI Blast or any wheel of the same/larger size.

holy wheel :shock:

wanna play frisbee?

Wow is that a 6.5" wheel? :shock:

7 5/16 OD, 7 at outer edge of bead.


We will find out.


Big wheel needs a big tire. It's actually a big/little tire. The goal with this wheel is to have an 8" tall tire with a short sidewall (increase stability). The 8" tires used with Thorns/Blast have a 1 3/4" sidewall. These will have a 1/2" sidewall.

Two Panther Kamodos cut and glued together.

Kinda what I figured you were trying to do, I dug out my plow boys last week to play with a similar thought, but just don't have the means to make them myself

Im in for a set of 6.5 inch wheels if you ever decide to sell them. I would want a tire a little under 8 inches
