By the way, those photos were taken by an RC enthusiast Nick Van Drasek of Thrashing Dragon Photography.

I really like it without the green light bars, but love it with the wraith bumper and light buckets. what did you do with your rear lights? Is that the yeti/exo light bar? How did you mount it?

Thank you.

No, those are Mad Dog RC individual job light pods on one controller mounted individually to the rear crossmember of the cage using spacers.

Below are some pics of the bumper and the koh lights.

Also, the original light bars weren't scale enough in size for me.

Does the bomber have those 4 holes in the roof where u mounted the rear light buckets? Sorry I'm still waiting for my bomber to come in the mail.

Nope, anything you add must use the existing cage holes or you drill it yourself.

The nylon plastic is very easy to drill.
I made a bunch of 5/64 holes for extra lexan body panels.

Nice rig! I see you had the hot racing sway bar and looks like you changed it to something else....My guess is you had issues with it rubbing the cage too....I bought one for my bomber and I've messed with it quite a bit to try and keep it from rubbing. I ended up shortening the end links so that it barely kisses the cage now, but I know the sway bar is supposed to sit basically parallel to the trailing arms, and it is far from it. Looks like you also added some spacers to it where it mounted to the cage. Am I spot on with my analysis or did you not have the same issues as me? haha

Originally I had a UCFAB swaybar but I didn't like the look scale wise so I went to the HR swaybar and spaced it to not hit the cage like you.

Why did you not get a Vanquish sway bar?

I needed the HR Bomber front swaybar that comes with the Bomber rear swaybar for a custom rc project at the time.

Did some work on the Bomber today...

I swapped out homemade window nets for UCFAB nets, repositioned driver seat, rebuilt trans and reconfigured front Wraith bumper.

Bump for a great looking Bomber.

I have to ask if the wraith bumper is a direct fit or with minor modifications?
I never seen a Wraith up close and only recently acquired a very used bomber.
Thanks.
