Brought back to life

Was going to be spending some time on an empty gun range this past week and needed something to do so I pulled my Bomber out of storage (been there stored about a year) and it turned on right away. Sweet!

Charged the battery, ran for a few minutes and then gave it a full charge.

Once at camp it drove great, I remember how much fun this thing was the way I built it. Climbing hills, crawling rocks and ditches and full speed runs drifting through the corners.

It was a blast until the original wheel nut backed off and got lost and the tire/wheel went rolling away. It was a fun 30 minutes..... So bummed

So today I replaced the sloppy front knuckles and bushings and all four drive hubs and cross pins and put on new wheel nuts. Tightened up a few loose screws too.

Going to be taking it with me on a cross country road trip here soon. Maybe I can get to run it in a bunch of different states where I have stops.

Too bad its beat up a little more than in this older pic

Nice, they are a fun all around truck. Take some pics of it as u cross the country to put up here.

Should make it part of your trip. Try to find a LHS near each of your stops and get an upgrade for it, any upgrade, see how it turns out by the time you get back.

This may be possible depending on what is available where I am stopping and how much time I have there. It's only 7,000 miles in 6 weeks with 6 matches to get to, prepare for, and execute at....

Definitely won't have the time or energy for that but was a cool idea.
