tried running the rig on a U4 style course with CI single stage closed foams and it just kept flipping over. hahahaha made changes to the foams, 2 stage hack job while i wait for the CI 2 stages foams to arrive. also finally replaced the king shocks to some slash powerstrokes dampers. will test this rig tomorrow in a G6 style trail... hope it works with these temp foams. thanks for viewing! |

Nice build. Not sure if shortening the link on your sway bar would help any or not?

@NitroBugg, Thanks! i got the anti-swaybar from my 1st bomber (got it used) in this configuration, i think it is stock, I will need to double check. but i have not played around with it, my drifters when i started all had the same orientation, if i am not mistaken, and that was more than 10 years ago hehe my initial run yesterday was good, still a little bouncy but the DIY foams are brand new and a bit stiff. ordering the crawler innovation 2 stage foam, but it will wait... holiday rush here is really bad, so I will be ordering them 1st thing next year.

running on flat ground is not a problem with an unsensored motor/esc. the rig is so stable even in tight turns... i am loving it. would like to get it crawling one of this days but would like to replace the motor/esc to a sensored one before i do. i am mostly bashing now, 2.2mah lipo battery gets eaten up pretty quick... need to get a high mah for it. thanks for viewing! |

geez... i missed to C3 events due to the servo running out of juice. at first i thought it was my 3S batter, i was using a 2.2mah, but it turns out that i needed to install a BEC. got me a Castle 10amp BEC and did a bypass connection that powers the servo directly... perfect! now i am ready to go all out on the next event. |

Thanks Guys! ___________ I'm trying some new shoes, voodoo with 2 stage foams and SSD wheels (not a fan of this wheels... they are so plain looking). We are having another C3 comp on the 14th, this new setup should perform well... but still thinking if i need to put some weight on the front tire. still looking into that. thanks for looking! |

changed a few things on the bomber, not sure if you noticed the previous changes... replaced the plastic rear shock tower with Boomracing Shock Tower With Strut Bar, also replaced the lower axle link connectors. Last week I got an Aluminum Front Offset Axle Link Mount from Boomracing. Thanks for viewing! |
