Nothing really new other than the Bomber is standing on its own. Worked on shock mounts all day yesterday and finally got it to where I’m happy with the stance. I am having issues with the stock driveshafts hitting the trans case pretty hard. Looking for a built Wraith trans to install, if anyone has one laying around 👍🏼 The centered rear axle is the culprit for sure but I refuse to buy a new non centered rear :lmao: Also have R35 Axial KR2s and a Vanquish Currie sway bar on the way "thumbsup"

Thanks man. I’m going to be coating the chassis for sure after bead blasting :mrgreen:

Undecided right now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5d811464ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ef9e5c16b0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...28fccc92bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9af2650093.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ebc0c04fe4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6948083eb8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...08e9af6fbe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...59b999a1e9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b1acbdb70a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...71044a75f5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...58c53f408e.jpg

This might help the binding issue...

Thanks for those. I just picked up a built Wraith trans in the classifieds. Likely going to drill 2 new holes in the Bomber skid and use that since its free. This thread is quickly derailing from being "Scale" :lmao: Really just wanted the scale chassis and reliable everything else..

Slowly getting there. Welded all the body tabs on today and tapped them to M3x.5 and mounted the rear Currie sway bar; much better driving it with that thing installed. Next up is figure out a battery tray because its just ziptied in there at the moment and make a spare tire mount. Should be easy enough, then I can rip on it for real "thumbsup"
