Congrats! That looks great! Thanks for the writeup!

so has anyone bought the new hood yet or not? I would really like to see how it looks!

[Generis]

There's a bunch of hoods around. Maybe they aren't users here.

We've just added a Shapeways store to help save shipping time and $ for those do-it-yourself-ers out there. The roof, hood, and interior parts are now available at the new store in addition to the GCMRacing.ca site.
Read the product notes in the Shapeways store to see if there's after print work to be done for your product.

very cool parts looking forward to building one of these soon..


? does your front shock tower plate work with most upgraded steering kit out there...

[Generis]

Thanks for the comments. I have seen a bunch of people pit the belcranks under the GCM tower plate. Seems the outside slot fits the belcrank posts just fine and it can be setup well.

Ryan and I had a chance to get a Hammers Rig Review done, here's the goods.
Enjoy!

A little behind the times here on this side of RC but have been looking at getting a TH as my first venture into rock racing and seeing your option parts has persuaded me that this is correct choice. I will be purchasing all your options to build the buggy that I am wanting as my first. Thanks for the R&D work to make this rig what many have and do want!!

It's a fun truck! With the Yeti on board, the increase in size of the yeti appeals to many, as the Hammer is a bunch smaller in scale.
The engineering between the GCM crew and the fantastic steering from IRIE products is a great combo, and we really like the improvements in the buggy! Looks and performance!

I'm bummed out that I cant use paypal credit otherwise I would have already ordered these. Everyone else seems to jack up the price by 20-30 dollars.

[Generis]

I don't know what paypal credit is, but these are on sale this month! I hope you get it working.

GOT PAID! YAY! GOT MY PARTS! YAY!

Next question, do you guys have the light wiring diagram for your roof? I just went to shapeways store and got your roof and hood and needless to say am very happy with how she is turning out.

[Generis]

Mmmm nice! I've always liked the brighter look of the tube, and you're going that direction also! Well done!
Wiring the lights is up to you. I know HeyOK has a light controller you can use for this, and he will also do the LED wiring for you also if you want. He does the offroad lights and blinkers etc for the roof setup. (vendor forum here), so that may help.
We used to offer a kit for this roof with whites up front and red/offroad blue/orange out back. We wired them just all ON at all times, which worked fine for us.

[FourDogs]

If it's ok to ask 1 more question.... Do you have any pics lying around of your wiring on the LEDs in the roof. I don't won't to be a bother, I just want to get this thing done right the 1st time....

We ran all the fronts over to the wiring rail on the side, and then aimed the wiring out to the rear and down the shock tower. All the connections happened down the back of the truck under the interior. The wiring all should hang in the side wiring rail with some shooGoo or hot glue to hold the wiring in place.

Got my parts. More to do still, but I'm liking it!
