Jayn Bomber Build
 

I think the building will finally start this weekend.

Going to be a different than some others. Trying to keep the costs down a little, and want to be stable at speed. Any input is welcome, this is just my 2nd build. My Yeti XL turned out pretty good though…

EDIT: This lost it's way and got expensive and cool. Updated final build below:

Nothing wrong with keeping cost down, some of us have more important things to spend money on then toy trucks. :mrgreen: Parts list looks decent.

Cheers,

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Looking forward to the completed build. Curious about stretching the 1.9's onto 2.2's. Was this just for a specific size or something else?

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Wanted to try this for 2 reasons.

Aesthetics. I like the look with less sidewall.

Turning. I don't do any real crawling, mostly will be bombing around the golf course that I live on. On my Yeti I get so much roll of the sidewall. Hoping this is better. I may be 100% wrong. (But I do like the way they look...)

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

I like the look of your wheel/tire combo. How hard was it to stretch the 1.9 to fit?

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

How'd the front truss work out for ya? Been hearing mixed reviews.

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

On these wheels it was quite easy. A little spit and elbow grease. I could see how it may be a challenge on others.

I have not tackled the truss yet. Hopefully tonight.

Nice looking setup Jay can't wait to see it together!

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Made a little progress last night.

SSD trans is a fine bit of kit. That is a Yeti R/R slipper on the AX31149 Spawn style slipper shaft.

Liking your upgrades. Curious about the Alum diff and gears. For the gears are you using HPI HPI86014 HPI Racing Differential Bevel Gear Set (10T/13T) [HPI86014] | Parts - AMain Performance Hobbies - AMain Performance Hobbies

What Diff housing is that from?

Jayn Bomber Build
 

Yes I am using the HPI gears.

GCM Racing made the diff cups. Really nice... I found a pair on eBay and snatched them up. Here is the website:

Made some good snow day progress. Axles went together well. Everything else is a mock up so things are loose and I need some different fasteners.

Need to get links sorted out. The DLux trusses change things.

I am struggling a bit so suggestions and help are welcomed.

Those are VP Yeti rears. The Revo straight Ends that were on them first really bound up. Pictures show Axial bent ends as a temporary attempt to hold things together.
Pix I see of the DLux set up have an extra ball centering the link that is captured above the pumpkin. That causes everything to bind here.

I was going to run the Wraith kit links up front. I didn't get those installed as I didn't have the right grub screws or rod ends. What rod ends do I want that take the 3mm screw?

Or do I just go fill a cart at DLux and move on?

Thanks!

Got it to mockup roller status last night. I looks pretty good, but I definitely have some suspension issues to work out.

The shocks are too short, the Swaybar doesn't cut it. The upper front links are too short...

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

With those 1.9s I think you really need shorter trailing arms. You're definitely going to have ground clearance issues.

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Agreed.

Those are my LCG set up... I have some 2.2 Rock Beast 2s for clearance!

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Ah, I see. Your build looks great. You've got a nice pile of parts there.

Re: Jayn Bomber Build
 

Need to turn the pile of parts into a running rig!
