First upgrade would be a sway bar then after that in this order. Links and steering links, universals, drivelines. Then electronics

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

Did some digging around quick before work this morning. Found my wheel/tire combo & a random RC4WD Outcry Brushless system, Would it be correct to assume that these parts are worth swapping into the rig? ESC will be a CC Mamba Max Pro (it's out in my garage) Here is a few pics, boy it's nice to have these still laying around rather than having to buy it all over again!

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

Can anyone enlighten me on that brushless system?

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

It's discontinued. Just run it till she blows. "thumbsup"

Ask this guy he may be able to enlighten you from a 2012 test, lol.

Hit the search button and you may get some enlightenment.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

I just ordered a bomber as well.My parts list to upgrade are
UC Fab trailing arms and rear sway bar,
Dlux upper rear and upper and lower front links
Dlux front swaybar kit
unsure on wheels but Voodoo U4's for sure
holmes hobbies brushless system, not sure of kv yet
then i will tune it and run it for a while.
there are lots of parts showing up for these rigs, it shouldnrt be hard to find parts to tune it to your liking

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

so got one for my boys 7th Bday
his first day the front servo horn stripped out
thinking of getting a 7954 and clamping style arm/horn
steering parts also are pretty sloppy

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

I just got mine today, pulled the electronics to go brushless and replaced the servo before I ever ran it. I'm waiting for my steering kit. After 30 seconds of running, the dog bones have to go! Wretched!!!!! Universals up front are a must!!!!!

Did I mention you'll want to replace the dog bones with universals first....?

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

So looks like CVD, Servo, and the rear sway bar (how does the sway bar affect flex?) So far.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

It will limit flex a lot. If your going to crawl then disconnect it. Carter fab used to sell a quick disconnect setup but last time I checked, it was discontinued.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

I liked the idea but sold my Wraith before i could try it.

On the cheap you could use these but would need to source a pin & Clip but that's not hard to do.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

Ran mine for 3 intense hours today. It's very capable out of the box! Even crawling the sway bar would be good especially on side hilling. The rear axle has mad articulation so the sway bar will help keep it in check. One of the guys I run with had a very thin one on and his RR10 today and it was spot on. Universals are also key. The front dog bones are terrible.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

Thanks, for the links! I've been out of the scene for about 2 years. I'll be ordering 2 sets of these soon, thanks again.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

word of advice. don't skimp on the universals. I tried the HR universals because they were cheap. geuss what? they where cheap. lasted all of five minutes. installed axial unis and all is good.

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

the VP VVDs are always out of stock

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build

Ordered the 1st round of goodies, Since VP is out of most suspension parts, I tried to focus another important aspect of this project!

Parts Ordered:

Hitec HS-7950TH Servo

x2 VP Aluminum Diff Covers

VP 3/16 Ti Wraith Drag Link

VP 3/16 Ti Wraith Tie Rod

VP Wraith Stage One Kit (Black)

x2 Axial Universal Axle Sets

Castle Creations 10 Amp BEC

Racers Edge Aluminum Single Clamping Servo Horn.

======================

Now, can anyone help me out with this fancy servo? I guess I'll be switching over to the Mamba Max Pro & Brushless next. Is it alright to run my HS-7950TH without a BEC?

re: FFWF's Budget Bomber Build
 

I would absolutely run a bec. My 7950's are all booked up to castle bec's
