| Bomber XL
Hey guys ... I've taken a minute to figure out a EASY straight axle conversion... Here it is only requiring ONE 10$ item and about 3 hrs of time......But you're gonna have to subscribe to my youtube channel for a full breakdown build series... This is a mock up that I personally think would work for full function...The purpose of this mock up was for geometry references for a hand made aluminum one that incorporates the Vanquish housingS for 4WS . . soon to come.. With this as a option ...it would be killer for a stock crawler inspired XL for RWS Here's a couple of pictures any body interested ?? https://youtu.be/D_68iaHw8bU Last edited by BarHarborBasher; 09-25-2016 at 08:43 PM. |

Well after 8 hrs of wrenching and 20 hrs of scratching I came up with a (STOCK) setup other than the 10$ MIP CVD's...And in person its quit impressive ! 32" long y 21" 3/8" wide... It's another XMAXX KILLER Last edited by BarHarborBasher; 09-30-2016 at 07:35 AM. |

Ahaaaa... Thank-you you're too kind It's funny...I recently established a Instagram account and AXIAL blocked me because of my willingness to help their reputation and the basher community... I performed 125+ free pinion modifications to THEIR customers and spent a ass load of money on their products and that's the kind of thanks I get.. blackballed.. What ever... I can build a better Axial than they can lol |

| Re: Bomber XL https://youtu.be/gqsyk9wVcXU Here's a quick video over the rolling chassis .. https://youtu.be/gqsyk9wVcXU I've asked the community for some advice... 7950Th mounting on the axle....or.... 1/5 servo hidden with scale control link. ? Installing the T8 with the two speed first for the factory aspect..... Then... convert the Bomber XL into a Monster Truck... What do you guys think? |

So after trying to be helpful and honest with Axial and getting the cold shoulder over the HD pinion debacle I decide to jump ship... I built a prototype for Traxxas... The BIG MAXX see ya latter guys... Just kidding I'm the fester on AXIAL's ass ..the "Red Headed Step-child " My buddy that has a XMAXX was talking shit about Dragging around my bomber... He's pretty quite these days lol... If we do look for a reenactment of the youtube "Truck gets pulled in parking lot"... When I bring it back it wont have a wheel left on it LMAO Last edited by BarHarborBasher; 10-02-2016 at 03:36 PM. |

Cool support for Vas !! But I'm No Hemistorm... Aussie RC Playground commented on your video BHB BOMBER XL Aussie RC Playground Wow! You turning into Hemistorm 2.0? That's an awesome build, man. Well done. For motor choice, I would go with the sensored motor since this is more of a rock crawler. But I'm no expert in this field, so don't take that suggestion too seriously. Haha. I'll be watching this build closely though, very interesting. |

Meeting with my Graphics guy tomorrow... I plan on replicating the Bomber scheme ... Traditional colors ... dose anybody have any other ideas for a Bomber XL... Like color ... I was thinking red, black and silver in a bomber format might look cool, but I keep trying to keep it factory as possible.. |

Back in the Yeti cave carving up some Axials & aluminum I figured I'd catch you guys up on the progress. Basic hand, cheep meterials and the need to challenge your fundmental abilities can lead to a good time. 3/16 ABS skidpan SMT 5 layout Two 1515 2200kv and the big dog 2028... The BHB internal aluminum skeleton reinforcement system.... The side rails serve three purposes. 1- provide a mounting surface for the debris screen. 2- lateral reinforcement for the bearing locations e.i shock truss cage. 3- plate /support the battery compartments layers. Also I'm making a bearing support for the traction bars that will attach to the rails for the SMT5 Guys ... I know that I intended on using a frame supported 1/5 servo but in testing I wanted to eliminate compounding issues wile I'm testing/adjusting cast/camber/clock.. I through this thing together ..I utilized the mounting location for the truss support as well as used a diff cover thread. It's supper strong..I'm going to dimple die to lighting things up.. I did keep it close as I could to the center. 22" 9/16 wide....... Servo battery compartment ... I've also thought about adding another matching battery for lights etc. I'm working on a ABS cover to retain them also to keep it clean. |
