I probably love RCP more than you ![]() The fact that I can still order parts for these axles is an amazing thing! Not too many places have parts and the aftermarket is practically gone Last edited by grob23; 11-07-2017 at 07:40 PM. |

And the chassis I’ll be using. ![]() Pretty new Bomber chassis! This wont be much of a fast rig, just want it to crawl really... Not diggin the body panels, for sure gonna strip off all the decals but I’m unsure from there. I do have the rear sway bar, but I might not use it. I plan to take off the rear spare tire carrier soon ![]() The skid is from a Wraith. Thankfully the width was spot on and the mounting screws seem to be ok (time will tell) The links came from The Crawler Store. Ordered a “Wraith Kit” which is basically comprised of uppers and lowers. Aluminum links with Revo ends ![]() Wraith trans, Gonna be running a brushless motor at least initially, should be interesting. Any opinions on this motor? Might it be too much for a Crawler? I’ll be running some pretty crummy driveshafts, might try and find MIP’s in the future. Last edited by grob23; 11-08-2017 at 10:48 AM. |

And the axles I’ll be using. ![]() ![]() The rear has RCP lockouts, full bearings. The front has MIP CVDs, RCP Knuckles, and stock Cs. I’d love to find a pair of unclocked aluminum Cs. Like FATROCK or MSD. Also mounted up a Hitec HS645MG Servo with aluminum horn to an RCP Servo plate. Used STRC Servo blocks and clamps. Went with the stock TLT steering links (with Axial ends) till they become a problem Last edited by grob23; 11-08-2017 at 10:46 AM. |

That would be incredible to find Cs! Thanks for looking! Small update on this build: all I’ve managed to get done is to begin assembling the rear axle. I used an RCP link mount I had still; I really dig the look! I need to order hardware, then it will be complete. Almost ready to hang these axles! ![]() ![]() Last edited by grob23; 11-18-2017 at 06:35 PM. | |

I understand that. It’s that time of year I work more and play less with my rc stuff. I’ll be watching for updates on this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Small update! (Finally) Got the axles mocked up. Going with SCX10 shocks for now. I modded them with a rod end, and used a spacer to achieve the length I wanted. I’ll have to shorten the rear uppers a bit, but that will come in time. Still need to order hardware for the axles and hang the front, but I’m stoked to be making progress! ![]() ![]() |

The Bomber Chassis simply isn't going to work. The Shock mounts in the front are too far apart for the TLT axles to work properly with 2.2's. So I won an old K2 Chassis on evilbay and will be putting all these parts on it. I think I'll like it better anyway. I wasn't really a fan of the Bomber's looks... Updates to come! ![]() |

Here is the chassis and the trans. I need a full size Servo to run the dig, I need a bushed ESC and I need a body. Any suggestions for a body? It has to be lexan, look old, and play well with 2.2s ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Seems I’ve taken a few steps backwards... axles off so I could finish up drilling the chassis and whatnot. Got my dig all set up and installed a Hitec HS-311 to control it. Mounted an SCX radio box and the shock towers. I need to fab up a front mount for the box so it sits level, and shorten some hardware before I remount the axles ![]() Last edited by grob23; 04-18-2018 at 07:46 PM. |
