I would like to inform that A MAIN HOBBIES is a very good, as a matter of fact the best hobby store, friendly support team good customer service, overall great however my last purchase was very disappointed ( the vehicle itself) shipping, price everything NO PROBLEM but the Rc4wd bully2 assembly was VERY POOR!!! Broken servo screw, wiring wrong, i hv encountered several issues with the buggy itself,,, poorly assembled, had to replace servo ( already) and missing screws, I DONT want to return nor my $ bk because it’s not your guy’s fault RC4WD shame on the and A++. To you guys those are my 2 cents. after 7 hours and 123.00 dlls servo, wires and screw kit it’s now in operable condition. Thanks A+++ to AMAIN. F to RC4WD
Excellent MOA comp crawler, it could definitely use a better steering servo but other than that pretty good right out of the box!!!! I changed the position of the battery to the belly pan to lower cog a bit so I had to get creative with the other electronics but overall I’m very impressed!!!
Before I say anything, Amain Hobbies rocks and my new Bully2 showed up in two days. Now the story. I opened the box, soldered on a Spektrum ic3 connector for my batteries, and turned it on and throttled up. Very first thing, it made a horrible grinding noise from the transmission, and I noticed it only had 3 wheels turning in 4 wheel drive. Being totally familiar with RC cars, I removed the wheel to find there was no drive pin in the axle for the wheel hex and it actually had parts for the front hubs on the rear. I had to steal a pin from my Element Enduro, MacGyver it, and it fit fine. I removed the motor cover to see that the pinion gears were misaligned and barely touching the spur gears. That was the screeching noise I heard. So I adjusted that. Finally after two hours of messing with it I finally take a trial run in the rocks. Immediately noticed the steering servo is super weak. But the radio was nice, and all functioned as it was supposed to. Then a motor wire connector fell off the motor, and I noticed they wired it so the servo lead, and motor leads were right where they can get torn off in the rocks. So I removed those motor connectors, cut off about two feet of extra wire, and directly soldered the motor leads to the upper motor tabs. Next, I installed a Spektrum 6250HV servo in it, and just used the 6 volt bec. Now I actually started having a blast with it. It can climb just about any boulder with the right line. I took some pictures of my rookie built Bully2 and sent them to RC4WD Customer service. At first they seemed grateful that I made them aware of the faulty build. They offered to send the missing parts, although they would not send them out of California. I am still waiting on a shipment from China to make it correct, which sorta turns my gut. I wish RC4WD would have just sent me the whole damn axle, because I still have to make it correct myself, and I could have just sent them back this one they made on a Friday afternoon. So, if you buy this, I'd say if you are a perfectionist like me, you'll want to give it a good RC Guru look over before you ruin it within the first battery. For 600 bucks, they should fire everyone at the facility building the ready to runs. In my opinion the kit is too much money, and since the RTR is 100 bucks extra you get the motors, esc, and the dig switch and a pre programmed radio. That seemed like a better deal. This was an honest review. No BS from me.
I think I got lucky this crawler was perfect right out of the box. No loose screws or missing parts. The builders did a fine job of putting it together. It needed very little tuning and will climb over very large boulders in front of my house that no other crawlers could.I run it almost every day with no problems. I was afraid to buy one because of some of the poor reviews but now I am glad I did.
Bully showed up with all the screws tight. Plug and play worked well. Motors are a little sluggish. I plan on upgrading to Fushion se 1200kv. Radio feels very cheap plan up grading that as well.
Reviews are mixed and split between owners who report a smooth out-of-the-box experience and those who report significant assembly and quality problems. Several reviewers say the kit arrived with loose or missing screws, a broken steering tie rod, a misaligned transmission pinion, or motors and electronics they found underpowered and needing replacement. Reported issues include stiff or sticky shocks, fragile carbon wheels and frame, and a steering servo some consider weak. Some reviewers say the kit needed rewiring or extra parts such as a BEC and fan before running. Other reviewers mention backorder delays and no shipment for months. Several reviews concern the retailer's service and shipping, which is praised in some cases, and a few are unrelated to the vehicle. Reviews are generally consistent in reporting build-quality variance rather than one defect.
