Not the most sensible thing, massive motor/esc from the onset. But, anyone that hasn't done this with a new rig is either boring or a liar. Great demo of the strength in the Bomber out of the factory and any weak links to look out for. I wouldn't sweat anyone wingeing about that in a "budget" build in this format. Everyone runs into something cool at least once that BARELY fits within their budget that just has to go in a rig. BEST TIP EVER: Eff the flex, ditch the bind.
I bought my RR10 before they released them and waited until the ship date. Found your channel shortly after the purchase and been hoping to see some bomber action. I will be watching this for sure.
Oh snap! Here we go! Thanks to you I have the yeti, yeti score, and SCX10 just in the last 2 months. Looks like it's the RR 10 next. Thanks sincerely harley.
Thank you for starting this series! Really looking forward to your Bbuild. :) The stock is great out of the box and blows my Wraith straight away. There are additional free mods that can be done on the Bomber to decrease the torque twist. I reckon those will come in later on the series when you show the "save up" part for the next episode slapping some nasty diffs! :) I do hope the series wont stop with the tubes. More power to you and your channel!
Very curious to see what direction you decide to take this budget build as opposed to your others....the Poison Spider Wraith being my favorite of the series, since I also bought the PS Wraith around the same time and actually followed along most of the weeks. Any electronics suggestions for a yeti 380 kit build? Got everything vanquish has to offer, AR60 V2 complete rear axle, Currie sway bar, MIP d shafts, VP steering, VP VVDs AND all of the axial anodized AL upgrade parts with the beautiful VP Method 105s in ORANGE! Thanks man! You explain everything very clearly in your vids and IMO are the most educated RC TH-camr by far!
Should I keep the stock bomber sway bar or the vanquish Currie? The Currie one just looks so nice but not if it’s going to rub? I o ow it’s for the yeti. Does it effect performance if I get the vanquish?
Performance will be similar. The VP one just has a more scale style. If using on a Bomber you'll need to use a 25mm M4 set screw between the rod ends instead of the included stainless link.
Word, thanks for getting back to the ? U remind me of him in a way very knowledgeable and u explain things so well that a novice rc guy can work on there vehicle, luv the vids keep rocking brah !
I'm looking to get my first crawler and I can't decide between the wraith or the bomber what would you guys pick for a fun back yard crawler and maybe some big beach rocks?
+Harley Designs thanks for the reply I rely liked the wraith build and will be watching this every week for sure. Not just pure crawling there is a lot of nice hiking trails around my town that would be fun to run on.
I have been following all your builds. What is the pinion gear you used with Pro4HD? do you have a link to this as I want to get a same setup as you had.
I'm catching this for the first time.... Looks like it will be a good series, especially since I'm a retired Veteran with a tiny budget! 😢 😲 *End Flex Fridays!!!* Brother, I'm all for that! 😁😂 I'm building a Rig as I write. Believe me - it's cheap. I was thinking about going Brushless, if I can score one cheap enough..... I'm thinking 2050kv or 2250kv...... what's your thoughts on that? On to the next video! Murph
Good advice regarding FLEX and FB FLEX FRIDAY.I hope somebody will listen in your advice!Great video.Can't wait to see how it will turn out on the end.
I'm going to guess universals on week two. That was the first part to go on mine. I've been running the roc412 on 3s and the driveline has been holding up great. Question for you, I know you like big power and I've seen a lot of guys going with the puller xl and even a monster x setup. Why are you sticking with tekin? Or was this just what you had on hand? I'm asking because My yeti has the pro4 hd, and I'm thinking of upgrading it
+Ty sway bar can be added to a wraith too. But if you actually mean trailing arm? Then it's because you can get more travel with a shorter shock and still retain appropriate tuning options. It does mean that a sway bar is also needed in most cases.
+Harley Designs Thanks for the help! so I did a bit or reading and you can get a trailing arm suspension for the Wraith, from what I understand I lowers the vehicle a bit. With your experience, is this something that you would think is a good idea? Thanks.
+Matt Gericke I just had a discussion about this on my Facebook actually. I LOVE my old Ryobi 4v 4Tek driver with adjustable clutch. However they removed the clutch from the new version. So now I bought a 2 pack of these Genesis drivers from Amazon for $50. They are 7.4v drivers with clutch and 2 speed. They don't have a removable battery like my Ryobi had though which bums me out. But now I do have 3 drivers so that I can have one set up for each popular size.
+Phil Robbins yes, only 3s. My temps always stay very manageable, I never hit it with a temp gun but the good Ol finger test is my go by when on the rocks.
Wow what a Change 6 years makes in the Hobby/Video Room Josh 🎉 Congratulations on the Well Earned Success 💯🎉 I'll have to check into this stabilizer for My New Bomber and give you a Shout Out if you don't mind ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend ❣️
Hey brah quick ? I use to watch squirrel rc back in the day just wondering r you squirrel ? U rebrand urself with a different name ? I been wanting to ask that ? To u for awhile .
+Harley Designs I'm excited to see what you have instore! I love watching these develop. I already have thrown a brushless system in mine and vanquish axle shafts because I blew the oem ones out, and axle few other goodies
Dude with all due respect and I do mean with all Due Respect ✊🏻 love your videos you're one of the better ones out there that explain things in detail but your Obsession for your Hatred of flex in This video is a little over the Top🙄 if you're a rock Crawler you Want" flex , why are you telling people that they should forget about flex and flex Friday if you don't like it that's fine you don't like it👍 but Somebody Else may 😉and need it for that particular purpose of Rock Crawling, anyway love your videos keep up the good work and chill out on flex Friday 🤗
"Kid watches video to see how he can save his money on his new rc" Ok guys, im just gonna spend as much as the vehicle cost on a motor and esc, but we'll just gloss over that.
Not the most sensible thing, massive motor/esc from the onset. But, anyone that hasn't done this with a new rig is either boring or a liar.

The RR10 is definitely worth it!
Looking forward to the build. Contemplating replacing my Wraith with a Bomber, this video series is helping to nudge me in that direction.
a nice lil tip that cost no money is to paint the letters on the tires helps with scal
Looking forward to building one of these soon!

I'm going to be watching this build. I'm running an M&P and a pro 4 3300 KV I love it
Good series. Looking forward to it. "Flex is for bad Facebook pictures" was funny!

Great start to a build
Nice, thanks for letting people know it's not all about articulation

Stop flexin Fridays! Hahaha! Good stuff.
mudguyRC yay
nice simple upgrade and it doesn't break the bank. great vid.
I'm looking to get my first crawler and I can't decide between the wraith or the bomber what would you guys pick for a fun back yard crawler and maybe some big beach rocks?
+Buster Brown pure crawling? Hmmm the Wraith may be easier to tune in that instance.
+Harley Designs thanks for the reply I rely liked the wraith build and will be watching this every week for sure. Not just pure crawling there is a lot of nice hiking trails around my town that would be fun to run on.
Any updates links as the shop has closed
Should be option with kit??
Should I buy a yeti or a bomber for rock racing?
What kind of speed did you get out of it with the motor upgrade?
My ax10 come stock with plenty more flex than what you showed! Should I tune it down? I have the ax10 deadbolt
Yes, spring and shock tuning can be done to limit you to about the height of your tire.
Thanks
Traction over flex any day!!! I just might pick up a bomber and meet you here on Fridays... Cheers
Completely unrelated to topic but may I ask where you found those shelves you have your rigs on? Looking for something very similar to it.
+SanctusAnqelus those are modified IKEA shelves! I reinforced them from the back of the shelf to make sure they would hold a rig.
Thank you sir
Would you share your rx8 esc settings when you get back from Axial fest
Finally Back!!! Thank god!
I have been following all your builds. What is the pinion gear you used with Pro4HD? do you have a link to this as I want to get a same setup as you had.
+ribble1997 I don't have a link handy but it's a 12t Robinson Racing hardened pinion with a 5mm bore.
Harley Designs great. Thx. I fount it.
I'm catching this for the first time.... Looks like it will be a good series, especially since I'm a retired Veteran with a tiny budget! 😢 😲
*End Flex Fridays!!!* Brother, I'm all for that! 😁😂
I'm building a Rig as I write. Believe me - it's cheap. I was thinking about going Brushless, if I can score one cheap enough..... I'm thinking 2050kv or 2250kv...... what's your thoughts on that?
On to the next video!
Murph
I put 4000kv in it stock and it kills it it did not brake good Machine Keep up the good stuff
Good advice regarding FLEX and FB FLEX FRIDAY.I hope somebody will listen in your advice!Great video.Can't wait to see how it will turn out on the end.
What are the length of the links your using for the sway bar?
+Cody Williams I'm using the Yeti links right now. On a Currie version though, two revo Rod ends with a 4mm set screw between them works great.
STOP FLEX FRIDAY, JUST STOP IT.... Totally agree. Should I be seeing you at AxialFest this year? We better. Also when is the next shopnight?
I'll be there this year. I'll do shop nights again sometime!
Nice video, I am looking forward to the series. But there's no coupon code for CKRC?
I'm going to guess universals on week two. That was the first part to go on mine. I've been running the roc412 on 3s and the driveline has been holding up great.

Hello everyone. what is the advantage of the sway bar over the wraith rear suspension? Thanks!
+Ty sway bar can be added to a wraith too. But if you actually mean trailing arm? Then it's because you can get more travel with a shorter shock and still retain appropriate tuning options. It does mean that a sway bar is also needed in most cases.
+Harley Designs Thanks for the help! so I did a bit or reading and you can get a trailing arm suspension for the Wraith, from what I understand I lowers the vehicle a bit. With your experience, is this something that you would think is a good idea? Thanks.
Which electric screwdriver are you using/recommend?
+Matt Gericke I just had a discussion about this on my Facebook actually. I LOVE my old Ryobi 4v 4Tek driver with adjustable clutch. However they removed the clutch from the new version. So now I bought a 2 pack of these Genesis drivers from Amazon for $50. They are 7.4v drivers with clutch and 2 speed. They don't have a removable battery like my Ryobi had though which bums me out. But now I do have 3 drivers so that I can have one set up for each popular size.
Bosch makes a nice 12v lithium one with a very low TQ on the low side. Haven't stripped anything with it yet, knock on wood.
Finally, Harley has come back with another Budget Build!!!
Are you going to be doing a week to week cost rundown like in previous Budget Builds?
I fully intended to on this one but somehow screwed up the credits. It is in the description though.
Just wondering how this motor has held up over time I would like some more speed and still be able to do some rocks
+smokingbean it’s still my favorite setup. Going strong still and it was in my Yeti first!
Harley Designs thank you good to know
Why not the Vanquish Currie sway bar ?
I would like to make a Bomber specific version here at VP but haven't had time yet. The current version rubs the came more than I care for.
Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback
how does "budget build" and Vanquish even fit in the same video? is the budget sky high?
Great video but between your deadbolt build and this new series I can't decide which to make my first rc lol.
I looked up that esc and it says it's for 1/8th scale. guessing that doesn't matter
any cms kit in the works Harley?
the scale factor will skyrocket with it! Cheers
This type of car wouldn't have a steering system like that. So I dont have any plans for one.
Are you running 3s? What are your temps running?
+Phil Robbins yes, only 3s. My temps always stay very manageable, I never hit it with a temp gun but the good Ol finger test is my go by when on the rocks.
I lernt dat fleks is bad. lmao. good job on the video bro. looking forward to where you go with this one.
How much does this truck cost?
+MonsterJam Guy59 Here you go: bit.ly/1XZYutV
But more flex keeps the truck more stable on tougher obstacles when you have a camera on it...
+ELT Racer4 more flex is not the answer to maximum performance.
Harley Designs Medic doesn't agree with that, and last time I checked he's an RC genius.
+ELT Racer4 sarcasm is so hard to sense through comments sometimes!! Lol
more driving videos!
only comp crawlers need crazy flex
Even comp crawlers do not require that much. We traveled for years doing comp crawling and even then you don't need 70 degrees of articulation.
Harley Designs
O-O I had a situation where 80 would have been ok to have grip on all 4s :P , barelymade it up the corner
I say you put a lot of motor to a stock bomber and take bets on how fast Dan can destroy it lol
Wow what a Change 6 years makes in the Hobby/Video Room Josh
🎉 Congratulations on the Well Earned Success 💯🎉

Hey brah quick ? I use to watch squirrel rc back in the day just wondering r you squirrel ? U rebrand urself with a different name ? I been wanting to ask that ? To u for awhile .
Nope, different guy I do know who he is though.
Did you pass away ?
#saveflexfriday
lol just skip to week 7
Flex is killah :D
see this is why i have trust issues...."budget" aka new motor and esc right off the bat
+Chad Irvin and very understandably so. Not the way I would typically run one of these series. However I think it will still be a good series!
+Harley Designs I'm excited to see what you have instore! I love watching these develop. I already have thrown a brushless system in mine and vanquish axle shafts because I blew the oem ones out, and axle few other goodies
lol, my comp crawler needs flex tho.....
Dude with all due respect and I do mean with all Due Respect ✊🏻 love your videos you're one of the better ones out there that explain things in detail but your Obsession for your Hatred of flex in This video is a little over the Top🙄
if you're a rock Crawler you Want" flex , why are you telling people that they should forget about flex and flex Friday if you don't like it that's fine you don't like it👍 but Somebody Else may 😉and need it for that particular purpose of Rock Crawling, anyway love your videos keep up the good work and chill out on flex Friday 🤗
