" Hammer King " will be a U4 rig with IFS the basic outline of the rig being taken from Ferravanti Sr who built this rig, chassis and all in his own garage. This will be a relatively slow build that I hope to have ready for ECSC . I haven't iron out all the details yet but I will be making my own control arms and using a 1/10 Summit front remote locking diff, MIP Slash front axles, MIP drive shafts, Wraith rear axle and tranny, all beefed up with HD gears of course.

After seeing this rig I just loved the way it looked and decided I just had to build it, plus I've been wanting to add an IFS to my stable for some time now. First thing I ran into problems with was not finding hardly any pictures of this rig, no build thread at all and only two short video clips of it running so I had to basically sketch the outline of the rig as you see and figure out as best as I could as to how I think the rest of the chassis was designed and put it down on some grid paper to the actual size I wanted to use as a template. So this is what I got so far.

I figured since with this rig I wanted something more capable on a U4 track I'd go with the Kyosho Velvet shocks from Super Shafty.

When I decided to go IFS on my build I figured I'd try something different and use the front diff from a 1/10 Summit so I could have control of locking the diff when in the rocks or unlocked for the high speed sections.

Good looking start on the chassis. And summit parts to boot wow this is gonna be a beast.

tedo · 03-09-2014, 08:21 PM

Yes! The summit diff is a nice touch.

Watching this one.

I hope so ! Lol... at the moment it's a pain in the rear ! Since I wanted to use Slash MIP cvd's because the length was perfect I need to either buy 6mms ends since they are 5mm or drill the holes out to 6mm to fit the outputs of the Summit diff and the Vanquish Knuckles I got need some light trimming to fit the joint of the cvd's as well.

Meatwad · 03-09-2014, 08:36 PM

The 6mm revo/summit ends fit, or drilling works. Watching this as well

Nice ideas, watching this build!

With a couple of these steel IFS front ends turning up I'm getting an itch to build one myself , youv'e got some great ideas here for sure.

Yet another live axle rig wins the KOH tho ! (Just stirring !)

No problem, I got a rig to cover that end of the spectrum too with my Trent Fab U4 ! Lol...

One of the sites I found for upgrade Summit parts who supplies hardened diff gears and cnc machined aluminum parts. As soon as I get more money together I will be getting this setup.

SUBBED! This is right in line with what I'm trying to do with the Campbell replica!

Sweet rig! Definitely sub'd for this!

have to give you a big

for giving this a try !

i found out about the front un-loching diff,
its almost not worth doing.

DmG's ultra hybrid 4400 IFS KOH Racer

but it will be cool to see how your going do it though - keep up the good work !

SwampDawg · 03-10-2014, 02:07 PM

jmayer54 · 03-10-2014, 05:21 PM

Feel free to use any ideas I have for your build , if nothing else if you do a similar setup it may help me out being able to bounce ideas off each other.

Wow , That was a great build ! I know it was from a few years back but I'm sure how I missed that one . Funny thing is I tried to research of anyone using a summit diff thinking I'd find something to get ideas from and thought it seemed funny I couldn't find anything. You just killed my day lol... , I thought I was the first to try it just to find out your the O.G. of the idea. Thanks for the link , I'm sure it will help out.
