Axial Bomber Sway Bar Relocation

thingiverse

So I picked up an Axial Bomber RTR and one of the first things people notice is how bad the torque roll is. So I also bought an Integy sway bar at the same time. The first time I took out the Bomber without the sway bar, I thought, yup, there's a bunch of torque roll. So I installed the Integy sway bar as designed and it was way too stiff for my liking. I noticed a couple mounting points for a second set of shock absorbers on the trailing bars and thought I could turn the sway bar around to reduce the force applied to the sway bar. I'd get back some rotation on the rear axle, reduce the stiffness of the sway bar. These pieces essentially relocate the sway bar to turn it around and mount the lower end connecting rods to the trailing arms instead of the axle. This is version 1, so it's not super awesome, but it sure does work really well and I'm happy with it. One thing I really like is the sway bar no longer comes in contact with the frame at full compression like it did when installed the normal direction. The top of the pumpkin does contact the bracket where it crosses over the tube frame, so that may be a modification in the future, but the contact is only at max compression of both shocks, not during axle articulation twist like you'd see crawling. For me, this is a decent mix of reducing torque roll and still allowing plenty of twist for crawling. I hope you enjoy watching it. Let me know if you find this useful.
