RC4WD Bully 2 Love/Hate RTR? Issues and 1st run! 

I would expect better quality control for the price of RC4WD Rigs! Thanks for the honest review!

Great video, thanks for the heads up.👍That's a lot of $ to rebuild yourself but now you know everything is nice n tight. And that's a good thing out on the trail. Thanks

Great video! My builders kit will be showing up this Saturday, I can't wait to get going on it. Thank you so much for all the info, I guess I will be taking apart the axles and checking for grease and loctiting everything. Awesome job as always on the tutorial.

Everything that he went through exactly is what I went through with my same RC4WD bully to moa. Is definitely far away from a RTR you need to lock tight everything make sure the gears have enough grease, make sure the pinion is set properly the positive and negative wires are not touching the lower links remove the cables of the positive and negative off the lower legs and move them to the upper links make sure that your rig comes with a Bec mines didn't many many things I can could keep going, cheers for making this video 👍🏻🔥😎🔥👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes RC4WD, with my rc toyota there were 80% LOS AND NO LOCTAIT ,,, I was angry too man, what you did here is supper my friend thank you for staying with us

Thanks Matt for this honest review. Love your crawling spot. I totally agree with you: Don't care about the look of the rig, especially if it performs so well.

@2FM RC, great video. My bully 2 should be here today and I plan to do a partial breakdown and rebuild. I had a similar experience with rc4wd when I ordered my c2x.

Man thank you for the video I was actually looking at them wow I might build my own now probably be better off from what I see take care of be safe

Thought this would be a happy compromise between the Capra & Dlux Super Kit. Capra kit w. upgrades is looking like a much better newbie project. Thanks for the commentary!

I have enough money pits XD. Thanks for the showcase.

100% Right about tuning up an RTR vs building a kit but we end up tearing them apart anyway 🤔. Just got my bully on the backyard course tonight after buying it a year 1/2 ago hah! It’s promising though. I like it . Nice rig there.

appreciate this review. still tempted to buy one!

Thanks for another great vid. Also for the heads up on rc4wd. I was looming at the rtr tf2 midnight edition. Might change that now.

Took my Bully2 out today for it's first run. Wow. What a machine. Another level. It crawled every rock I know at Curbar Edge and then turned round and laughed at me. After a decade of crawling in the hills it turns out I now need mountains...Cumbria here I come...

Hey man, huge thank you for this video. I was very close to getting one of these. I still may but know I am forwarned about what I may get in the mail.

This just makes the Danchee Ridgerock more impressive as an RTR. The MOA is a spider though.

Awesome video. I ended up grabbing the night crawler as my first crawler based in your videos.

This rig looks awesome! I wonder if they’ll make a 24th scale! That would be awesome!

Agreed if I had it to do over I would buy the one you have to assemble.

Yeah I bought the kit after reading similar stuff in the forums and I run dual mamba micro pro's and Holmes hobbies torque master expert 540 35t motors and a castle creations ten amp bec powering savox sa1230sg servo with futaba 4pls.

Crazy i would expect it to be perfect out of the box for the price thanks for the warning cool rig tho once its fixed

hey, good video. just subscribed. is there any way you could do a video on how you set up the dual 1080s?

RTR Ready to rebuild Not ready to run

Great honest video thankyou. How did you retro fit the hobby wing 1080s

For that level of QC, they should just make it a kit.

I bought mine as a kit and built it to my liking. It’s not cheap, but i love my B2, makes my other trail rigs look like cheap Walmart toys. I strongly recommend buying the kit vs the RTR.

That’s what they want…. They need your business so they set your rtr up to fall apart and break! They your buying more parts. Iv had this issue with almost every RTR iv ever bought. Some worst then others. Looks nice!

I bought the kit and built it from there, stock shocks are junk, get the Dravtech comp shocks, worth every penny. Even the kit had a few issues like some of the chassis cross braces were too short, had to put washers in place to prevent the carbon fiber chassis plates from bending. I was tempted to buy the rtr, thank God i didn’t. Even tho it cost me a few bucks to build it up, i can say i’m super pleased the way it performs.

This was 3 years ago and I found a video from 10 months ago saying the same thing about the screws. I have one in the mail, man, and I'm already not happy

man, i love mine too but your QC comments couldn't be more true! I aways go through any rtr but I do run em out of the box a couple times before i get into it. The motor wires were the first thing i noticed. Shook my head and fired it up anyway. 10-15 minutes into it one of my front links fell off. The 3 way switch for the dig was also broken out of the box. Yep, it is setup for failure no doubt. What length are those Desert Lizards? Nice lookin" rig btw.

I find anymore bad screws used in plastic. I have to seal glue all threads. I want a crawler like these, nit found one for sale. I had one bad fires from bad setup for wires, no more an issue from me also. Thanks!

Would u get this or a vanquish stance . I’ve built a few Scx24 and want a big scale one we have miles of rocks like the big one u crawled in the video . Could the vanquish keep up or stick with this and go from there . Thanks tho enjoyed the video

I brought the rtr last year. I guess I was lucky Perfect out the box.

I came across this video as i am looking into a bully 2 moa. On their web page it is now listed as " The Bully 2.2 MOA Competition Crawler is a full out of the box, ready to compete Crawler Kit." I wonder if the "Kit" part tacked on to the end of the description means that they expect buyers to go through all the components and double check them before running it?

I've been thinking about getting one of those. I was wondering if there is enough room to run the hobbywing fusion motors. I dont know how long those stock motors are in comparison.

Waiting for my Flysky. Do you know whether that radio can run the esc's together and separately? Also waiting for a couple more parts to set up 4ws on another rig with that radio but wondering if it will have enough to run that Bully with 4ws? Thanks

Just bought one, same deal... Not much time to build from kit and 1st crawler. Figure I'll upgrade as it breaks. Good to know I'll be taking it apart to start. Not a big issue for me as was on fence between this and kit.

Which crawler to buy if i want maximum performance AND good quality/spare parts available etc? Only the Axial Capra or are there other crawler options?

I just ordered one. I wanted a kit, but at least ill get to use it while I wait for the Holmes esc to come into stock.

Are you still using the stock motors that came with it? Does is crawl nice and slow out of the box? (After fixing all the loose screws, etc.)

Hello, great presentation. Do we agree are the shock absorbers original?

Hi sir can i know how you connect the 2 hobbywing esc 1080 to the rx

RTR means ready to run if you would have run that you would have wrecked it take care be safe sorry had ever been back on here one more time LOL

great rock climb~!!

Awesome 👍😃

Can you tell me how did you fit hobbywing 1080 esc to bully? Thank you 🙏

what are you running the shock on the front different from the back

I just got a Ready to Reassemble too. It has so much potential, but they hire 5th graders to assemble them. Wtf. I woulda bought the kit, but seemed like at the time, the extra hundred bucks for all the electronics was worth it. All I’m using now is the speed control paired with a Spektrum 40 amp esc/receiver. They even assembled my rear axle wrong, with front axle parts. I emailed RC4WD and they sent me like $1.50 worth of hex’s and pins. Long story. But yeah, can’t they do any better than that with such a cool crawler. Actually sucks it’s our only option now days for a comp crawler. Scalers don’t do what these can do.

Do you remember what best shock setup you had ?

What size wheels and tyres are these and what inserts thanks

Question what parts did you use on this rig??

I should have watched until the end. Too bad, we would have liked to have links in description to have the parts in order to make the same type of improvement. It's possible ? (I am writing to you via Google translate) the images is all I understand.

Wow 😂 the RTR manager needs to wake up 😆

I just ordered mine I hope I won't have the same issue.

Hi.... I always wanted a moa but i just don't have the knowledge on how to connect the wiring for two esc together. Trying doing some research but can't get it anywhere. If you or anybody can help me would be very grateful much appreciated. I'm from far away land in South East Asia.

How do you like the IBEXs?

What length shock are those desert lizards?

Wondering what your Capra would do with those tires.

Does the left front ever rub on the battery?

I've had all the same issues with my rtr ended up taking it apart and greased the axles tightened screws and rewired the electronics

DIY crawler rc is that?

Those Chineese kids need to take more pride in their work. (Because in reality that is most likely who put it together.)

Matt Are you from Tennessee by chance?

Where in CA are you?

Funny my tf2 LWD some stuff was too tight🤣

It's taken me a lot of time and tuning to make mine go as good as my wife's almost stock capra... was not impressed.

12:34 that rock looks real sad 😆

these things are always sold out, seems like they are the only MOA on the market

u should throw some loctite on all the bolts when u first get it before u take it out on the field for a serious run anyways brotherman!!!! and that's funny I've never thought of RTR as ready to rebuild hahaha but totally makes sense spending over a couple hundred on a little RC truck I would def take the time to protect my investment with a simple application of some loctite anyways ya feel me!! so don't bitch but awesome video!! it gave me some tips and awesome insight into these rigs and the trucks setup!! I like how u are running the rear shocks upside down what is the intended benefit of running the shocks like that?? I've never seen that before I would love to know I just might have to do that on my rigs... I did have an issue where the shock shaft would snap under hard bashing runs, does that make the shock stronger? or what good does doing that with the suspension provide? I would love to know thanks in advance brother u have a super clean rig there on your hands!!! keep her clean!! and she will reward you with years and years of trouble-free fun! godspeed take care, -Pete

I'm not going to lie I love your videos and that thing is ugly as hell LOL

Looks like someone didn’t read the directions and now it’s rc4wd’s fault🙄

Very disappointing to see, RC4WD. I would be PISSED. You didn't sell it as a kit! You sold it RTR!!!

U would have bn far better getin the kit insteady or rtr I don’t like rtr n Rc4wd all there rtr r rubish n u have to rebuild it m8

Even when you buy an rtr you always inspect all screws if everything is snug and tigjt up firmly
