sunny Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hi Guys, Since buying my savage flux hp my slash 4x4 is not getting used and someone has offered to swap for RR10 Bomber in good used condition. Are they a good truck for woods/light crawling and are they worth about 300 used in good order? also reliability wise any major probs?

Gaz! Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Imagine your wraith and yeti kinda having it jiggy, the bomber would be the offspring... great on rocks though, i comped mine and it did do well. is it the rtr or kit version? Kit version is the better one of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Depends if it's the RTR or the kit, the kit is better because the shocks are better, it comes with universals and I believe the driveshafts are better too. IMO, neither the Slash nor the Bomber would be worth £300 in used condition though, so I think it will come down to a point of do you want the Bomber more than the Slash?

sunny Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Bomber is rtr version but fitted with alloy steering and alloy upper and lower links on front. Has the king shocks which I think are standard. I have a decent 4x4 now for bashing (Flux HP) so slash probably wont be getting a lot of use.

Gaz! Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The king shocks are all plastic I believe on the rtr. will need either alloy rear lower links or at least the Axial stiffener plates. Cvd’s are highly recommended too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 As long as parts are available I dont mind really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Well they’re wraith (ar60) axles with different shock mounts so parts are there in their plenty, the rear end sway bar is taken from the yeti. now it’s down to you to get the deal put together mate.

sunny Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 You would not happen to have link to axial stiffener plates please Gaz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Can’t go wrong with them mate, i would go with axial branded cvds though.... might have some of those too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 GPM can be a little bit hit and miss, look to RCmart for the SSD ones, they aren't much more money from memory and are a bit more guaranteed in the strength department. As Gaz said, some CVDs will also be a good idea, I've used most of the brands, Axial did last the longest but also the most expensive, I wouldn't touch Vanquish ones, they snap far too easily, I also like Fastrax ones, they have held up very well in my SCX10 currently. The RTR shocks are still Kings, but plastic tops and stuff, so not as good as kit ones, Axial shocks have a bad habit of leaking, so that's something to keep in mind as well.
