The headlight buckets, Gmade shocks, and beadlock rings really set-off the paint scheme. Great-looking Bomber! Last edited by durok; 05-28-2018 at 08:09 PM. |

Looking great man, loving the fast panels. Wheels do look great painted up. If you do a lot of crawling the front skid plate looks like a major hangup point on the rocks. But only testing will tell.

Those are the kit wheels painted red with silver bolts done with a sharpie  The true beadlocks are being built. Just waiting on the slow boat for the red rings. Quote:

I'll make it short : This truck is awesome, the brushed setup is very very smooth for crawling but i already want More Power!  Not entirely sure about the T-Bone Racing skids as they seem to collect vegetation and hang on climbs. Time will tell... I will put links to a bunch of videos later tonight since they are too big for the forum.    Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Another "outside the truck" upgrade this week-end. I bought a workbench for the shed. I can work outside the house at least half the year now. I call it the summer residence Still need electrical outlets and lighting. I'm planning something big for the summer, the bomber is going wraith lenght in the back with JEC Racing links, Trailing arms and SSD driveshafts.  |

Went to the park tonight, still mostly grass and roots but it was fun. But now it's making a very annoying squeeking noise... Like something isn't oiled properly but i didn't see anything from the outside.  Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

I guess it could be the driveshafts. I have the SSD steel version to replace the stock driveshafts when they break or annoy me too much  Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Those tires are the bomb-diggedy... I love my tiny-tire 1.7" (4.19" OD) set on my Ascender, and... An admittedly-relatively newbie just won 1st place at Axialfest rock racing in 1.9 brushed class SCX10.2, as well as 2nd place in Ultra 5K Enduro on his 4.75" set! Axialfest!!!! |

The twins are dressed-up and ready to go just time for the vacation. Stock parts for now except some xt30 connectors for the 2s li-ion batteries. I might go brushless and 3s on them down the road...  Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
