*Young lady, do you know how fast you were going?* _"Officer, you don't understand! My employer was cyber bullied, which led to a bent Bombi, and an all hands rush to repair Ford 9" axle tubes none of us completely know how to build. On top of that, I am taking the replica racecar from our race in Florida with Cleetus and other KZreadrs, which my employer bent against a wall at the Freedom Factory!"_ Ma'am, I need you to get out of the car for a Field Sobriety Test. HQ, I'm gonna need backup, we got a crazy one out here.

The smile on Katelyn's face while driving the race car was great. Actually, she is always smiling and i appreciate that.

Mat, the force on the rear wheel is actually supporting double the force required to move the Bombi because the forces from the top and bottom side of the track are equal, only the force on the bottom contributes towards moving the Bombie, and the wheel is supporting the forces of both the bottom and the top side of the track. If you were moving in reverse the top track would be slack and the wheel would only be supporting the force on the slack side. This is why bulldozers drive sprockets are on the rear.

Being a Air Force veteran myself ! I laughed so hard that my sides started hurting ! Loved it !

The crush spacing on the 9 inch bearing needs to be the thickness of a factory ford backing plate. If I recall its an 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch. I cant get to mine without tearing it all apart but like I said an 1/8 or so would be much better than the nothing you have now. You are really pushing on that seal and likely putting to much push on the bearing assembly also. Like setting a trailer axle nut way too tight. That bearing assembly inside that tube is a tapered bearing, just unitized.

Hey Matt and Crew…it was great to meet you at Black Bear, and thanks for the shoutout on your channel. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised when we watched the show yesterday. Enjoy the Die-casts….😊

I'm an engineer, hate to tell you since this involves major rebuilding, but the problem is front sprocket drive puts tremendous stress on the whole track, axles, and chassis. Rear sprocket drive reduces the stress on both front and rear axles. Front sprocket drive means the tracks are not tensioned when they try to climb over obstacles, making it harder for them to float over rocks and ledges, again, more stress on the front axles. Military tanks can have massive axles and tracks, so some use front drive sprockets, but the Bombi isn't a 60 ton Abrams X.

@NBSV1

Ай бұрын

I agree. The drive on the Bombi worked fine when it was basically just itself in snow with less power. As designed there’s much less load on the parts since it’s just driving around. With what they’re doing it’s much more load along with more power and more traction. Going to take some trial and error to hopefully get it reliable. I would think the drivetrain can be reinforced enough to work. Rebuilding this to be rear drive would be something. At that point I’d almost be wondering if a FWD drivetrain mounted in the rear would work.

@andersolsson6709

Ай бұрын

While I agree with you on the principle, the real problem here I believe is having brakes on both the powered front axle with drive sprockets and the rear axle.

EDITING TEAM ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!! 10/10......

The ford 9" housing your using is an OE housing. Its meant to have the backing plate behind the bearing retainer. New 9" housings have a wider bearing area that wont support drum brakes. I wrote an article in bronco Driver about converting this to rear disks and it includes cutting the drum backing plate to fit with the bearing retainer. Crushing it down is not going to seal properly. I also recommend flipping the retainer so the open portion is on the top to help keep the gear oil in. Let me know if you would like a copy of the article in Bronco Driver.

that's because some past departures weren't exactly on the best of terms, others were muddled in behind-the-scenes controversies that had finally hit a boiling point, but nevertheless have no space for exposure on this channel. some people just need to move on, for better or worse. and as Tom Tom said on his recent video about leaving MORR, he's only 5 minutes away from the shop, so there will be plenty of content in the future with his face on it.

One of the things we learned in fielding newly modified equipment is that the forces that caused the modification do not eliminate those forces but simply transfer the effects to other areas, so you need to think beyond where the failure occurred and beef up those areas as well. You should beef up the entire shaft and the mounting area as well and where it attaches to the frame then continue to monitor that area.

The Bombi Build is kind of amazing to watch. It's been reborn, and now is being rebuilt in it's reborn form, and then rebuilt again. When it is done, if any project is EVER fully done, lets say, when it is CLOSE to being finalized, it will be a very unique, powerful, and effective piece of equipment. and since it is based on replaceable components, you should be able to keep it yankin and Vroomin for many years.

@22:38, that is NOT how you pack bearings. To be fair they may have just cut out the proper bits. I recommend putting a nice blob of grease in the palm of one hand, press the large side of the bearing into the grease again and again until it begins coming up through the other side. You force it through the bearings, thus packing them. (Probably just search how to pack wheel bearings, I'm sure there are many videos demonstrating the process.)

You should add two small winches to the rear over the track wells so if the tracks need to be set in the field you can drag them over and on the wheels with the winches. And I guess two small winches in the rear would come in handy in other ways eventually. ;)
