Nice touches here and there. Really like the battery tray and anti sway bar.

NIce!
Do the limit straps help?
Im asking because im not really sure what they help with?
Same with the anti sway bar?
Wondering if would be beneficial on my wraith, then bomber next?
I like them though!

Limit straps are used to limit suspention travel & it keeps shocks from blowing apart(especially with plastic caps).

Very nice! What kind of front links are those? I like the taper going up to the rod end.

Custom links layin around??? The tapered delrin is added when assembling links. I think Dlux fab still offers em"thumbsup"

Another couple hrs cawlin with new rig at new spot!!!


The rig had really impressive moments today! Like this rock face...


A few more parts be here soon...The bomber is a performer either crawlin or busting it loose on the trail. Overall this rig has got my attention!!! "thumbsup"

Nice mods. Did you make those suspension limiting straps? I love those wheels. I'm still kind of a newbie to this stuff. What do you mean by "CI 1" wheels"?

I am going to see if I can find some black plastic to glue in the battery tray. I don't know why they have that opening in the front of the battery tray. My smaller lipos want to find their way out of the battery tray. I'm planning to go Holmes PP 3500kv, MMP, Solar servo, and a BEC with mine and run it until stuff breaks.

Crawler Innovations 1 inch wide wheels. They are a glue on non beadlock wheel and SLW hub compatible.

 

[sic1to]

Ty Screamer! However the wheel/tire combo in last pics are rock beast II,crawler innovation(CI)double duece foams & CI 1.5" wheels. The limit straps are cossey brand from RPP hobby."thumbsup"

 

[sic1to]

Got some parts in...




With chubs,knuckles,spool,hd gears,beef tubes & soon uni's the front is almost done!

 

[Biomedchad]

Noob question. Do you still use diff oil inside their when running the spools and hd gears? I'm about to do that. Was going to use marine grease?

 

[sic1to]

I run lucas red & tacky or lucas marine grease!

 

[sic1to]

More steering!

Underdrives & gripfab locker installed

New stance!

More upgrades coming with possible changes to current setup. Who knows:ror:

Compared to the longer stock shocks , what are you liking about the shorter Shocks? Also, what width SLW hubs are you running?

Lower cog is much better now with shorter shocks! The brushless setup is more umph no question but it was rollin over with stock electronics...the hubs are .475 all around but may try a lil wider up front"thumbsup"

 

[sic1to]

The "Bomber" has some new parts...
UC FAB trailing arms

VP link mounts


Added some detail to fuel cell

Next up gonna swap out the HH3100kv trailmaster for the HH puller pro 2600-2800kv to get a bit smoother low end & still have pleeeeenty of wheel speed...also because i want it:mrgreen: I really like this rig & how it performs! Wheels/tires may be next on the list... r35 KR2 soon as Axial gets em just tryin to decide which wheels????

Well while on thinkin throne I ordered the Dlux front g10 U4 truss! I have 2 g10 rear U4 truss setups & love them so gonna see how it works out on the bomber.

 

[SCREAMER]

Really curious to see that front truss. I've been wanting to get one of those for a while but just haven't seen enough info on them or how they actually work. I know Erik's stuff is flawless just not sure what that truss is best suited for.

I agree with Dlux's product being top notch! The truss is designed to spread the load acrross the entire axle while locating the servo lower on axle to keep weight waaay down low. Goin to remove axle(with Dlux g10 truss) from yeti to see how it cycles under the bomber...its very poss that i roll with f&r if the rear fits!
