Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

How are you powering those lights?

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

From the RX. My BEC is set to around 8v (I can't remember exactly). The lights are rated 2S.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Ok. So you can run 3s and power those lights as long as you have a BEC. Correct?

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Yes, the BEC is supplying the only power to RX. The red wire on the MMP is removed from the connector and the pin is covered with shrink wrap (not too tight so that it can be removed without cutting it off).

A few of my crawlers together to get a size comparison.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Have you thought about one of those Holmes bypasses? He has one now with an extra aux out so you could free up one or two spots on the RX and not have to cut and tape the power wire. I use them on all my builds, only $6.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

I have thought about it and maybe one day I will try them. I don't cut the wire/pin, I simply lift the tab and slide it out of the connector. Takes 2 seconds. I keep a supply of splitters (2/3/4) because they are so handy.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Damn, those are three badass rigs you got there. I love how you did that bug. I can't believe you actually own a rig with AR60s. :mrgreen:

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Thanxs....The Wroncho Bug did have VP AR60 axles, but they got moved over to the R1 Crawler and my Son inherited the Wroncho Bug.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Oh those were VP housings. I should've known. Those must have been version 1?

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Correct.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

fantastic build! Thanks for all your time and effort to do this, I am new to this but not RC 2 of my buddy's got the SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 for some scale trail driving, mostly leaving them stock But I like the looks of the Bomber, and the mods you have done to it. I would probably run it stock for now until I acquire the mods, I use Futaba so that would go in right a way. I want to be able to keep up with my buddy's pretty much stock SCX10 G6 with an pretty much stock bomber for now until upgrades are aquired. Any thoughts on something I should do immediately so these guys don't smoke me out in the trails?

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

The man himself, Randy Slawson commented "Impressive detail" on the Bomber FB page. That made my day!

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Quad shocks up front now.....I had to adjust the custom pod lights mounts in order for the forward shock to have sufficient clearance, which turned out perfect, it tucked the pods tighter to the chassis, like the 1:1 machine.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

I love the dual front shocks

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

Very nice. So quad shocks up front aren't too stiff?

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

No, not at all mikebecher. They add a bit of dampening, but that's about it. The shock fluid is probably around 30w IIRC. I did tune the rear spring-less quad shocks to be stiffer though.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

All you need now is an electromagnetic linear steering actuator "thumbsup" to replace the servo as it's almost a perfect match for the 1:1.

Re: bilinvic's RR10 Bomber Build
 

I was thinking of converting the steering into a suicide set-up to mimic the 1:1. Would that mean my RR10's new name would be "Suicide Bomber"????
