How well did the Bulldog air shocks actually work? I seem to remember they weren't so good, but I did read a review--maybe it was in RC Car Action--that said they worked well, but that mag back in the day reviewed everything favorably, that was sent to them for free. You had to take each review with a grain of salt.

Jason, yes, typically an idler would be used on the 'coast' side of the belt, not the drive side, but it probably won't matter much. the fact that you have it tensioned and can lock it tightly is all that really matters. When the belt transmits power, it tries to flatten out, so there is greater force on the idler shaft. since the coast side of the belt is slack, the idler is placed there to help reduce belt slap.

I stand ceramic ball for the diff, to start the rebuilt of mine...

I start with the center diff, but the pulley don't turn round, so:



The pulley are in 3 parts: 1 alloy pulley and 2 brass flanged set together, I separete the 3 parts and pin the pulley.



I pin the rings



And thrust bearing for...

Some news of mine:




Hand made carbon chassis



New sway bar mount,bumper,ball cup



Same on the rear



New hole drill for the shock mount smoother suspension (4mm lower)



2 belts tensioners made with a long screw, 2 X (2 ball bearing (3mm x 10mm x 5mm) 1 tube and 2 small washers).

What a superb looking dog.
Do the chassis plates also from carbon/ or I can made them to you

I made alloy adaptator to fit Wild One wheels:

Nice car.

Can you show some photos of your wheel adaptors??

I have a question for J.M. Did Mugen Bulldog driver ever modify the hubs to use different rims? EG. add a hex drive to use Kyosho rims?

Look like this, I made for the Hotshot:

PRP you always do nice work !

Love the meaty look of these Bulldogs! Does anyone know what the main differences between the I and II are apart from the cage?
