also I can't even find a brushed 120 amp ESC lol
if I went with a Yeti kit would it be worth it? the rtr seems like it has decent electronics and would end up spending around $500 if i went with a kit
Thank you guy so much for helping a confused guy out
Jump to 11:20 to see the 2S vs 3S driving comparison. The beginning is super dull unboxing and too much talking!
I agree that the solid axle thing is a cool look. But the Bomber is really a dedicated rock crawler. On 3S it isn't very fast, and at full throttle it contorts, like....for some reason it makes me think of tiny fluffy dog that pees on the floor when new people come over.
You can make it run better that what you see in the video. You can lower it (by turning the spring perches on the shocks) and dampen the suspension (add thicker shock oil to shocks) to make it drive like a real truck. And interestingly, the RTR comes with a 3 channel radio, which is handy because you can buy a 2 speed transmission that can be controlled by that third channel. But you need an extra servo in addition to the 2 speed kit to make it work.
But a Yeti would be more what you are looking for. To me it's more a short course truck with a solid rear axle, than it is a rock crawler. The two types of trucks are opposites, so you need to choose speed vs crawling.
Get on youtube and look at videos of these trucks. You can see what they are made for and see them in action.
