Bomber XL

[BarHarborBasher]

V2 front axle conversion... Yeti XL's center CVD...





Now it's time to tig weld them up !!!

Also picked up a set of Chevron's for some water crossings

I did some research and found some alloy dowel pins that should be a suitable upgrade! The only issue I've had with the Bomber XL is breaking the hex pins & output/sun gear pins.
After fitting them I'll look at the oversized category for a refined fitment.



This will cover the transmission pins as well. Let me know if you guys want a kit after I hash out the best fit. I chose standard sizing because it comes in oversized options for closer fitment than the metric bore in the drivetrain components. Also a military spec grade pins are available which are made of the best materials.
And yes that's a pinion bushings! The other ones that I ordered were miss labeled.

I'm thinking about a set of these for the Bomber XL

Is the rim a real beadlock? Link to more info?

I'm sworn to secrecy...Lol j.k this is the only information that I've found this far...The rim looks to be 8s capable...So beadlocks would make sense..I'm definitely hoping so..

I got the 1,000 O.Z servo all mounted up and revised my servo battery situation. So I decided to install a b.e.c /servo battery and a b.e.c /light battery in the weight box . It should help keep the front end down and the electronic components dry with a factory look.





So I decided to install a power port on the outside of the box so I didn't have to open it up for charging and disconnecting servo/lights power supply.

I've got the BHB Pinion bushing installed and I'm really pleased with how well the Yeti XL center driveshaft work as axle shafts. To work on the axle is a snap. Remove the hub carrier and pull out the driveshaft or pop out the differential carrier..
Can't wait for testing ! On the bench the bushing didn't show any signs of heat with my heat gun...Fingers crossed
If all goes well I'll be giving out some BHB Pinion bushings.

I think a new sleeper body will be a cool dragster project.

Many thanks bud It's a BLAST ! I was inspired by Hemistorm with my builds. Hopefully I can do the same...

I started out with the Yeti Xl because of his videos. Your definitely following in his footsteps!

Hopefully it lives up to its hype!!
Should be good for a 16 lbs vehicle sense its intended for a 35+lb rig.

Dynamic breaking technology assures the vehicle maintains the heading demanded thanks to the servos brute level of holding power. An improved integrator design virtually eliminates the crowbar effect while keeping the servo temps low through even the most grueling of runs. Using Back EMF technology, position lock exponentially improves the servos ability to keep its position while greatly increasing holding power. In addition, the S9020 offers virtually zero servo fade, no matter how much is thrown at them. Forget about doubling up on expensive and heavy dual servo mounts. The S9020 won’t fade under any condition.

Lot of words and shit, does this fit the stock yeti xl enclosure? Look bad ass man.

Not at 2.5 inches long... It's gonna need to be modded to fit. Shouldn't be a problem for a car builder.

[84yoda]

No, its a 5th scale servo.

Man F.P.V Crawling is undescribable !! It's been a blast in the yeti Jr as well.
