My only modification would be to ditch the rc4wd trailing arms for a set of JEC Racing and watch out with the wraith driveshafts, the rear one will be too short. There is a specific rear driveshaft for Yeti/Bomber

You've got a sweet build list started there...

I desperately need to get off my keester and finish up Bomber #2.

Haha so true on the Integy stuff. I can be impatient sometimes ie: vanquish diffs... I'm really gonna try and show some growth here and wait for the axels. I've definitely got my heart set on the rockjack 70's.

I've already ordered the junfac driveshafts so I'll try them out anyway and see how they perform and maybe I'll switch or order a set of MIP as well and just see which works best. As for the RC4wd trailing arms I just like the look of them better then some of the others. Mostly i was trying to not completely furnish the truck in vanquish paraphernalia even though I was so tempted to do so.

I've tried so far very hard to do alot of reading and research and avoid any build pics so as to not influence the end product so I'm really hoping this will turn out the way I see it in my head. I've got a couple body panel ideas so i might try working on something in the shop with some aluminum. Fingers crossed lol

SSD makes awesome driveshafts as well

I'll definitely take a look I've never built an axial before let alone a bomber but I'm looking forward to the learning curve
