After a couple years with the Castle Mamba X, I wanted to go over the Bomber and see what needs attention. My son did a few hard launches this weekend and the rear driveshaft coupler finally broke, not bad for holding up to the motor on 3S.
I would like to upgrade the driveshafts to a stronger CV shaft but may stick with stock. Four of the motor sensor leads have broke from the connector and that explains the slight jumpy starts, didn't even occur to me.
The 3 output bearings on the trans and transfer case had some grit to them, replaced those, the remaining gears and bearings inside look like new.
Going on 3 years with the stock suspension arms, but have replaced the end links a few times, I would like to upgrade without breaking the bank. I understand the aftermarket parts can get pricey, but most are reasonable.
I'm not after a show truck, but would like to improve on the amount of play in the suspension arms and sway bar. I've looked at the Hot Racing parts and those look good, but I don't know who makes parts that have more or less slop.
So I'm in the hunt for front and rear suspension arms, sway bar, and CV driveshafts. Also, it looks like some suspension arms have beefier, wider mounting points which appear to increase rigidity.
Open to all suggestions.
