What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

I can't believe this thread hasn't been started yet.

I got a package from RRP Hobby today. I got a Vanquish Stage 1 kit (knuckles, chubs, and clamping lockouts), two sets of Beef Tubes, Vanquish front links (upper and lower), and a KNK stainless fastener kit. Everything is now installed except the stainless fasteners. I'm just doing a few of those at a time.

I converted my Bomber to 3 wheel drive last Friday evening. ;-) I'm waiting on a set of front axles to fix it.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

I installed my SSD front axle with HD gears and ordered a Mamba Monster X (thanks to Screamer for showing me more ways to spend my $$).

Hopefully my UCFab trailing arms and RC4X4 links will be here tomorrow so it will be ready for the G6 this Saturday.

Gave it to my 5 yr old son, since he kept saying how much he liked it "thumbsup"


Cheers,

Installed a Holmes HV500 servo, thing is amazing!

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Is that just slid into the "Fuel Tank"?

Any more detail pix?

Swapped over a different set of wheels and tires. The combination of the wider offset on the wheels and the tires being a bit wider makes this thing much more stable. Definitely ramped up the fun factor.

Put some CI Dueces Wild foams in the RC4WD IROK's, now I can actually turn a corner without rolling over. The stock foams that came with the IROK's was so soft that every time I made a turn with any speed faster than a walk the tires rolled under and it would try to roll. I can actually side hill now too...

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

And I just found a set of Grip Fab ARB lockers and VP knuckles/CHubs that I will install when I make links... I also plan on a servo winch.
This is going to be a crawler... I need to decide on a powerplant.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Playing around with a HD bumper idea a bit. Made from solid 1/4" steel rod, and will use the stock mounting spots.

Just slammed a traxxas 775 summit motor into the beast. 18t pinion on 2s everything is ice cold. And almost twice as quick as stock.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

My replacement front axle shafts came today. I have them installed and now my Bomber is ready to go again. I'll keep my Bomber away from the water meter box next time.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

I will be installing Dlux lower front links and rear trailing arms this evening. I am tying to decide on power for it. Currently it has the Vanguard 3150kv from a Yeti with the Axial 2 speed and 43/13 gearing, but it doesn't go slow enough to crawl well without cogging and is too fast on the top end. Using 12/64 gearing currently.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Does that 10T motor crawl well? I was considering the 21T Titan motor as other reported it works ok.

Fitted Double Deuce 6.0 comp cut foams, using Interco Irok tires. Firm outer for the rear, medium outer for the front. Also fitted super soft springs on the front, and firm rear (Proline pro-spec shocks)

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

It works pretty good, lots of torque and speed. And all the low speed control of a brushed motor. Just running it on a velenion esc, I would like a crawler esc with a little better low end control.

I did have to modify my motor plate to make it fit. 4mm screws and they are a little wider than a 540 can motor.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

its been a long while since ive posted pics in a forum.i clicked add image and put in the link from photobucket but i cant figure it out.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

swapped out the 35turn for a 20 turn. don't know how long it will last, but a lot faster. maybe too fast to crawl. but she's a jumper now!:shock:

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

do you have the two speed trans working yet so you can put it in low gear?im curious how it will do with a 20t

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Did you install the Traxxas 20t Titan motor?

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

- Moved the spare tire forward.
- Put on aluminum Poison Spyder differential covers front and rear.
- Replaced the standard 4mm flanged NyLock axle nuts with the G-Made 1.9 hubs.

Dlux front truss. Hoping to keep the front end in one piece :flipoff:

All thread is temporary, tracking down some 5/32" rod that isn't music wire.

Got a chance to install the new trailing arms from UCfab/Dlux very nice product and put on some decals.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Drove it, installed an Axial servo horn today after I took these. Still waiting on the new graphics, can't wait!

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Went to test the Robinson Racing steel spur and slipper on the road outside my house, flipped it and the servo died, seems like a bit of a design fault on the Xpert WR-7701 servos where the middle gear that transfers power from the motor to the spline is 2 separate parts push fitted together. Just a small roll and the parts separated, not good at all. Let's see what their customer service has to say.

Ordered a Hitec HS-7950TH for now, lets see how that holds up, do you recommend waterproofing it? some people seem to have run them in water with no problems at all due to them having factory o-ring seals.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

A lot of servos use the 2 piece gears, a lot of "metal gear" servos only have 1 or 2 metal gears. I have had good luck with Savox servos.

Counter sunk the end screws on my Dlux front truss, gain a little bit of steering back. I guess that's all I get, the rod ends are hitting the actual truss now.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Ordered a new set of CI foams for the rig. Working on painting my panels now.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Playing around with making some panels.

First with vinyl and again with some scale diamond plate aluminum...
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a4ef291c50.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...610dfd603a.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c08e810c98.jpg

First try with both. Made templates using a simple paper folder then transferred the outlines and holes to the Vinyl/Aluminum and cut them using kitchen shears, and made the holes using a Duratrax reamer.

Took <10 min to make a set using the templates.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Finally pulled the roof light bar off. Also yanked the transmission/t-case out so I could load em up with marine grease. I need to make a better mount for the ESC. Gets pretty annoying having to remove the double stick tape everytime I need to get into the RX box.

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Testing the waters, literally... Going to be hydrodipping these after I get a nice base coat cured on all the panels. Time consuming. :shock:

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

Unlike regular velcro, their commercial strength stuff works pretty well in my experience...

Re: What did you do to your Bomber today?
 

I swapped back to the factory brushed power from the Yeti Vanguad brushless set. I added Vanquish Yeti upper rear links and the Axial Bomber rear sway bar. Speed with the UD gears is disappointing, but it does crawl far slower with no clogging. I broke a gear tooth in the expensive 450 oz JR servo that a buddy had given me, not sure if I can order a new gear or will need to replace the servo.

FYI, the Axial rear sway bar is identical to the Yeti set, the bar measures the same .105" diameter. The Bomber kit just uses two short link ends connected by a screw to make the links short enough so the bar doesn't hit the chassis when the suspension is stuffed. I still think the bar is too stiff, I may take the sander to the center section to make the bar softer.
