GHII - Mad Bull conversion info??

[Carmine A]

Hi friends!  I have a GH 2 that just sucks for anything I can run it on, here in the Arizona desert......

(I've checked my meds first!) I've wanted a Mad Bull for a long time! 🤪 What I'd like to know from you is - what parts do I need to turn it into a pseudo Mad Bull?

I know it's not going to be a DT-01 chassis.... so is it just different rear axles and front hubs? Or is anything else needed/recommended?

Thanx!

Lunchbox front axles and some lunchbox wheels and tyres. 540 motor with lunchbox 10t long pinion. Reckon that would do it

Agreed, as simple as that with the lunchbox motor mount.

Edit:

And wheel hubs.

That's it? The Lunchbox rear axles wouldn't be longer? I've never measured them....

I've already got Lunchbox front axles.... yay!

I may play with M-05 steering gear.... not that this will be a performance machine in any way. I've just seen it done here a few times, and this whole project is a guinea pig!!

Beefing up the steering rods would be a good idea even if you stick with the stock arrangement. I did the same conversion with my nephew's Rising Fighter and the stock rods kept bending in collisions. 

This photo reminds me: you'll probably want to trim down the front bumper otherwise it severely restricts steering throw.

Absolutely! Thanks!! 😊  I was thinking 3mm rods and Traxxass rod ends.... again, not for performance, that would be silly! But for durability. 

Rising Fighter.... probably a better guinea pig, because of the massive ground clearance!🐖
