Moto's bomber

[Motorider]

I recently picked up a bomber on a really good deal here on RCC. I plan to do many modifications to it in the near future. I will be updating the build here as time progresses.

There will be a very interesting part going into this rig I will be testing for the maker. I should have the part in my hands in about 2 weeks. I think it could be a game changer and a huge hit. I can't wait to show it off in a few weeks. To go with this prototype part, this rig will be getting a whole suite of goods from DLUX. Needless to say I am very excited about this build.

It's primary purpose will be u4/bashing and be a capable crawler.

Stock RR10 chassis
Stock skid

Front axle:
Stock housings
HD stock gears
Locked up FI lockers
DLUX FBA universals
Vanquish clamping scale c hubs
DLUX aluminum slugged CF upper Brass Lower knuckles

Rear axles:

Thanks. I didn't paint it, but I like it as well. Part of why I bought it. Unfortunately it got dented on the hood in shipping. I'm going to try to scuff it up and repaint the bad spot. Otherwise this rig is all about performance.

My wraith is going to be a beast too. I'll be updating that thread as parts start to arrive. My toyzuki build has been sidelined for now. Sold the rock jocks for cash to upgrade both the bomber and the wraith.

My crawler course has taken all of my time lately though. I think my wife is tired of it. About 15 yards of dirt and 12 truckloads of stone so far. Still a long ways on that project

A good 4 wheel steering kit OR something that reduces torque twist, some sort of a dampener or gyro thing, say, even centrifugally weighted like a dragster clutch, working like a counter rotation dual prop IO drive for a boat. Am I too far outside of the box???

Much simpler...

A body. Someone made a mold for a different looking body that isn't all flat panels. A Penhall U4 look??? Closer??? That's simpler.

Factory cage and body panels will remain. I did get some goodies in though.

Well the delay has finally ended. I should have the part in my hands by next friday. It was shipped 2 days ago. I cant wait. I have a puller pro 3500 to install as well. Tick...Tock....Tick....Tock.

[Motorider]

I got the parts in. Tell me what you think. Photos of just the parts for now. I'll get them installed in the next few days hopefully.

I think you will love it bill. It's made by high altitude performance rc on the book face. This is one of three made. I can't wait to test it out. Look him up. He has some great ideas for our hobby. Lots of custom axle housings. He is all about having correct geometry.

Interesting..... if you go to there FB, there is more pictures, but I don't want to junk up his build thread.

So it's a skid?
Im new to the Bomber, is it just for a better CoG?

Yes it’s a skid, but it’s an anatomically correct skid. You’ll notice a handful of changes.
1 motor forward center
2 output drop due to trans being recessed
3 a dlux motor plate to get the motor low
4 upper link plates with more tuning ability
5 lower link mounting angled to match the link angle.
5 most likely flat skid profile underneath

Looks pretty good to me.

That pretty much covers it. I was at worlds of fun for the winterfest last night. I was just trying to get some conversation with the Photo drop. Unfortunately, I forgot that I gave my all metal gearset to my nephew to fix his transmission. I just ordered a lightweight HR gearset. I expect it to arrive on Thursday. So the build will commence next weekend. Ugh. I'm very antsy to get this thing together.

Bring on the conversation. I don't mind.

Interesting, am I looking at it from the front or back? The motor looks like it replaces the front Rx box...

I could see myself buying this...If it wasn’t 3D printed, maybe in another material, aluminum for instance, or plastic.

So here is a small update on the build so far. Very little testing has been done. Major lack of time with the holidays.

So far I have installed the DLUX knuckles, FBA shafts, and Locked Up FI spools. I took a set of vanquish clamping scale c hubs and drilled them out to make clearance for the new FBA shafts. I also took the stock aluminum steering link and added some bend to it to shorten it up for the DLUX knuckles. The DLUX knuckles I ordered for this rig are aluminum with brass slugs. I got the carbon fiber upper arm and the brass lower arm. I have a long ways to go with this rig. I'm still waiting on parts.
