MUGEN BULLDOG brushless vintage racer.
This Bulldog has been a real work in progress but I finaly have it where I am happy.
The diff's have been modded, a custom steering rack has been added, ball raced belt tensioners, universal drive shafts up front, Marui chrome dog bones in the rear, Kyosho Optima hubs all round, fully ballraced, YOU-G dampers with PIRATE M1 soft coils, custom machined wheel adapters to fit Yokomo spoked rims, 3750KV brushless system and a few other bits and bobs.
I test drove it on the road out front of my place and even with high grip and the car making some great top speeds there is none of the usual belt cracking (slipping) sounds that it made previously- not even under brakes. This car is seriously fast now and seems kinda scary considering its age and design.
Im confident this car will do well on the race track now (if only I could drive well enough)

Nice pair of machines! I almost didn't see the ghost driving the stocker.

Re: MUGEN BULLDOG brushless vintage racer.
Real nice custom build Jason. For performance I'd like to suggest going to 4 shocks (though I have no clue how) but for the looks the 2 single dampers are killer.
How 's the plastic used on the bulldog? Did it get brittle, is it nylon based or ABS, any fiber reinforcement?

Re: MUGEN BULLDOG brushless vintage racer.
Thanks for the compliments guys. Believe it or not the Bulldog is actualy very nice to drive when set up correctly.
Im almost prepared to say that they could be as good as if not better than a Cat of the same period.
Our old friend Bob (who sadly passed away) always called his car - ALF - because it likes to eat Cats all day long when at the race track.
R.I.P. Bob.
