Yoda's RR10 Bomber Build... B1B IFS!

[jeepgod]

Did you ever run it with the SSD Transmission, thinking of getting one for my IFS Bomber build

 

[84yoda]

Lol, not yet. I got it all together, but changed my mind to go ifs and pulled front end and has been sitting ever since. But having it all together, I really like it. I dont think you would be disappointed with it.

Awwww man, you ditched the front SA on this one!?!? Another SA bomber bites the dust LOL. Looking good Yoda. Now get to building because I can't get enough of the bomber build threads!

Thanks.

Lol, another bites the dust but good news is I'm building another bomber so I'll use it for that. Im gonna start building as soon as my last part shows up since its the front locker/shafts and I need that to start building the diff and everything around it. Just a few more days...

 

[84yoda]

Last parts showed up, I have everything to start building. Crazy all these parts are just for the front end. Lol

First up B1B IFS kit

VP parts

Axial parts

More parts

Time to get started!"thumbsup"

Sweet! Can't wait to see this thing up and running! "thumbsup"

Pure awesomeness...

X2 to above posters.

Mind blowing how much stuff just for the front.

Did you get it built with the SSD trans? How is the clearance for the servo horn? I ordered the SSD 2 speed but its way to big and before I buy the High ratio would like to know if it fits

 

[84yoda]

Yes its together with SSD tranny. Like I mentioned in bilinvic thread, depending where your tranny adapter holes are drilled will determine if it fits or not. Mine does not fit since my tranny sits more forward than others. But I might be able to make it work if I can get the steering linkage to sit behind the servo horn. I'll report back later on if I can get it to work with spur cover.

Edit: I should have been more specific, everything fits and works but I'm not able to run spur cover.

 

[jeepgod]

I noticed on mine the Lower Main plate was hitting the Motor plate causing a wear mark. I cut the corner of the plate off and it allowed the motor plate to drop down and was able to get a little more clearance for the servo horn.

 

[84yoda]

Been lagging on pictures, I've had it together for a while now but just mock up stages, tweaking little things here and there. Dont mind the crazy preload lol that was just temporary since those were the strongest springs I had laying around. They are stock spawn springs red 2.04lbs and could barely keep the front end up with all that preload.

Here is sway bar connected, the car stand is 6" tall.

Sway bar disconnected, that tire is 7.5" tall.

 

[84yoda]

Over all, I really really like it. I can drop it flat, on the front end or rear end and it just soaks up everything. Im now trying out axial white 14x90mm 1.71lb springs up front and half way preload. Drop test amazes me (3-4ft drop and doesnt bounce) but obviously that has nothing to do with real world performance. I also figured out an easy way to attach the 2 front bolts on the stock hood. I also have rc4wd squadron pods mounted up next to the top of the shocks, it looks awesome but I need to make a better mount (just zip tied for now lol). I got the spur cover to fit as well without hitting the servo horn which is nice. I couldn't get the stock yeti center driveshaft to fit so I will use an mip shaft there (4 total on whole rig) which is probably 8 or 9 ounces of added weight to drive train but I dont think it will be a problem. I will tear it down next and get more pictures of everything.

how did you mount the radiator on the rollcage?

Looks to be the DMG rad mount

Yup, its dmg radiator mount. But I've seen other ways to mount it. Example, if you have an extra part of a plastic cage laying around, you could cut out a piece to length and drill 2 holes and make that work as well. But with his mount, its aluminum and stiffens it up back there.

This build is Soo sick!! I'm looking into doing a conversion on my bomber could you post a parts list of everything you used for your conversion? Awesome build!

 

[84yoda]

Thanks. Post #65 shows all the parts I used.

 

[JatoTheRipper]

This is so amazing! Nice job.

What did you use for the window nets?
