Good point out on the lower front link orientation! Recently made the same mistake when installing the front lower links on my Bomber. I assumed the S curve was a "high clearance link" feature. But nope. The are straight on the horizontal plane and the curve is just there because they use straight rod ends rather than angled ends like used on the factory links. When oriented like a high clearance link I had binding between the left lower link and the front driveshaft. No go. Unfortunately, Vanquish's website has no clear photos or instructions of any type that I could find. Guess I should have watched your video prior to doing the install as it would have saved me some frustration and hair pulling....
I love how u actually show and explain how to do things. A lot of us r new to the rc world. I definitely have to give you credit for a great video! I have a Capra unlimited. And I’ve been doing some upgrades like brass and stuf I just ordered new aluminum steering axels so I can do a 4 wheel steer. I figured a little extra weight down low and a lot stronger than the plastic ones. Atleast I have someone who explains stuff like u. Great video and content
Thanks brother, I am interested in seeing the rear steer. I would like to see a video of it and how well it works when your done! Join Upgraded RC Bashers Crashers and Crawlers so we can all see your build.
@@upgradedrc3697 I will try my best bud. I’ve never done a video but I can try. And I haven’t done nothing that extreme yet so I’m sure I will have some issues with the dx5c cause I still haven’t learned that controller that well. But I will do my best
@@just_inolredneck8319 I have a great 2 part video on the DX5C which is my choice for transmitters. Step by step, here is the link. th-cam.com/video/JqzLB5AlqXI/w-d-xo.html
What battery are you going with on the Bomber? Glad I'm watching your channel. Was thinking of going with the Gladiator. Now leaning towards the Bomber.
I have a bomber and a gladiator lol. Both have their own unique features, but I love my bomber. I am running a Lectron Pro 3s Lipo 5200mah 25c discharge rate. Thanks for the great comment . More videos to come!
It will be either a holmes hobbies or a mamba x from castle creations, there almost the same except the blue tooth mod in the mamba is controlled by your phone on the fly! Pretty cool.
Yes I have a video on motor setup. I have been trying out different motors and yes the last motor I installed was a brushless motor and ESC combo from Spectrum. You watched video #1 on the Bomber upgrades. I have many more covering all upgrades done to the Bomber.
No, the entire link from one end to the other should be fairly snug. The steel pivot in the center could be warned out, the bolt could be warned out or the plastic rod end could be warned out. Pin point the exact location of your play and replace it.
Only thing I don’t like about this kit is the slop that the pivot balls have due to them not being the correct length. They make you buy another $20 brass of pivot balls for the correct size.
I sincerely Appreciate You and Your response! New to this RC world from back in about 76’ or 77’! Thanks Man!!!!!

@@upgradedrc3697 thanks
This is great. I'm a dummy and that tip about a driver in the eye of the rod end just saved my hands haha
Nice listening to someone who knows what they are doing 👍👍
Thank you for the detailed info.Much help.
I just subscribed to your channel I look forward to seeing the Bomber and the Gladiator on your channel 😎👊
Good Evening. What wheel set up are you using on your rig???? I just bought the King of the Hammers and like the wheel and tire set up you’re using!
TSL Bogger Super Swamper 1.9 with GMade wheels. Not sure which foam was in the tire back then lol!
What battery are you going with on the Bomber?

Great video. Thanks a lot :)
Doing a new ESC and motor?curious of what your choice will be as mine is to dang slow too
It will be either a holmes hobbies or a mamba x from castle creations, there almost the same except the blue tooth mod in the mamba is controlled by your phone on the fly! Pretty cool.
Great videos! Do you have weight in the wheels or hubs etc.?
Nope, no weights in hubs, only brass portals and diff cvrs
@@upgradedrc3697 ok, great! Thanks
@@upgradedrc3697 Do you have a video on your motor setup? If not did you go brushless?

Up grade your rear arms, they well bend or break,mine did
Already on it. Waiting on parts. Thanks
Just did these to mine but my links have some slop in the ends where it mounts. Is that normal or should it be tight.

Holmes hobby has a nice servo
Already got a Reefs Raw 500. Thanks

Change your steering knuckles,they will break to if you race it
Hi grandpa it's haylen
Hi sweetie!
Vanquish has them
That's what I ordered #7350
@@upgradedrc3697 I had mine dropped in rear little keep the center of gravity low, for handling
That servo is bad, even with stock plastic links, I damaged the servo.
I agree!👍
