My RR10 bomber build.

[mklemp2015]

Looking for a bit of help. Getting an idea of exactly what I'm wanting to purchase before buying the wrong stuff.

What I'm looking to do:
Mainly trails. Not building for comps by any means. Terrain will be mix of rock, mud, sand, and dirt. Midwest creeks. Loose rocky muddy hills as well. Not at all racing. Wanting about 10mph top speed for tire cleanout and steeper hills. Also wanting better crawl control as I will mostly be moving slow.

My idea so far:
Vanquish rockjock currie axles front and rear.
Vanquish chubs and knuckles
Vanquish HD axle shafts
Ssd driveshafts
Vanquish titanium steering and suspension links
Vanquish servo armor
Method 2.2 wheels
Beef tubes front and rear.
Deuces 2 stage foams
Pitbull rock beast xor tires
Savox 1230 steering servo
Holmes revolver 540 1800 kv motor
Mamba Max pro esc
Axial 2 speed kit

What I'm unsure about:
Gearing
Size bec
Will I have any issues with all of this?
Is this setup good for what I'm wanting?

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Welcome and congrats on the soon-to-be Bomber. A few things jump out at me:
1. The Revolver is a sweet motor (I have 2 of them), but I wouldn't recommend it for regular use in mud and creeks. Crud is likely to work its way into the revolving can and cause premature wear. Better to go with a brushed or sensored brushless inrunner. Run 3S with higher turn/lower kv, and gear down if needed to keep temps in line.
2. Your ESC and Servo aren't WP out of the box. You will either need to waterproof them (which voids the warranty, FYI) or get WP alternatives. The HH BLE ESC (available waterproofed) is an excellent alternative to the MMP, and the Holmes HV500 and Xpert 7701 are excellent WP servos with tons of torque and plenty of speed.
3. The stock trailing arms are weak, and I don't see any upgrades on your list. Either get the Axial reinforcement plates or pick up a set of aftermarket TAs (UCFab, VP, Blue Monkey).

Rock Beast XORs are fantastic with CI 2-stage foams.

Good luck and enjoy!
