Just a quick note that Tower Hobbies is bringing these into stock under the name of 'Force Hammerjaw Rock Bouncer', looking largely the same as other offerings (FTX Mauler) with different body graphics and electronics.

I notice in the pics that some of these more recent models have a guard over the spur gear which I think is a nice addition, as i've had a battery cable get chewed up as it passed straight over this area.

My two are still going quite well despite my kids giving them a beating!

Cheers,

I like my Hammerjaw. It comes with different axles (I refer to them as HSP ultra 4 axles for lack of a better name) they still use the same HSP internal. It needs HSP aluminum locker 180009 in both axles ($10 each). The large wheels will destroy the plastic lockers on the first run. I also added a 12t 550 motor ($13) for more torque to turn those big wheels (now it has a better 21t Holmes Hobbies $20) . I would say it also needs CVD front axles and probably a better servo ($18 Amazon 20kg with aluminum horn). The cage is a re-used HSP/Redcat sandstorm cage but with a way better looking truck body. I also relocated the on/off switch so I can get to it with out lifting the body. This is a cheap scale-ish looking basher for rock bouncing. With a few low cost updates it becomes pretty awesome fun.
