Ok, I have no affiliation to any of the rc manufacturing companies. I have owned over 30 different rc's over the years and this is the most complete package I have ever seen in an rtr. Package meaning quality of build, quality of components, durability, handling is superb with very little adjustment. Stock speed is good for most people, for those of us that always want more..... We would swap out the motor esc any way, he stock drive train seems to hold up to the rock412 on 3s no problem

The pure fact I can go by a true RTR for my son and not have to spend an extra 100 or 200 right out of the gate makes me a happy consumer!!! I welcome all the companies that strive to bring us the quality products that we want to buy. No rig is perfect right out of the box but the Twin Hammers has brought a new level of RTR expectations in my book.

I would love to take this out and bash it and crawl it, Friday seems to be the day when my area will get them in stock, Badger please inform us how the brushless tekin setup works with this rig, I'm worried about the transmission failing under stress. Not sure if you have tired this but if there was a third position set correctly on the radio can you find a neutral spot on the transmission, or could you find a neutral posisiton at all with the radio off. Also I can't rememeber if you did anything to the front diff, is it locked or did you put a heavy oil in it and crawl it yet. I really would like to know if 100k weight oil would be enough to crawl with. Love the updates! Last edited by nissan_driver24; 02-06-2013 at 02:37 PM. |

My AX10 my SCX 10 are not as bad but yet they still have gone through many parts. Also how often do you drive? I own 3 acres full of four wheeling and rock crawling areas for the RC's. I crawl all the time sometimes every day depending on the weather. Last edited by Norcal_GIT_r; 02-06-2013 at 03:08 PM. | |

I drive at least once a week. One mildly upgraded scx10 I had for 1.5 years without any failures. I've never stripped or broken any drivetrain or transmission piece. (i have broken a stock tf2 driveshaft) It all just depends on how you drive them I guess. Maybe I'm just too careful. Maybe I can tell when just that much more throttle would break something so I back off instead of punching it. Maybe it's because I run 55t motors with 15tooth pinions.. Who knows. I'm not worried about the durability of the TH too much. For my driving at least. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 | |

But after reading what everyone saying about the hammers I think that's going to be a nice rig and it's going to be quality. I've already ordered a Hitec 7954 and I have a Holmes BRXL and a 12t cobalt puller for it. I hope I get it next week. | |

Hi there i would like to thanks for all your kind reviews on this awsome product. I have a few questions to ask on the million questions already asked. The gears inside the transmission, are metal ones? Or plastic? The driveshafs how are they? are metal or plastic? Or a mix of both like the wraith? In my wraith i make the mod of an allen bolt inside the splined driveshaft and no issues at all and i ran it with a mamba max pro + castle creations 2400kv 4 pole on 4s in sand dunes for speed with a 28t pinion, and no issues at all, how is it the drivetrain of this car? Any necessary upgrades out of the box? Oh i forgot to ask with this transmission is there really the need of a sensored motor? or a low kv motor like a castle creations 2400kv 4 pole will do just fine on this truck? Or something similar to that. thanks in advance Nuno Last edited by cravo; 02-06-2013 at 06:27 PM. |

| Very cool! What are your plans for batteries? The stock 2000 mAh lipo does not provide much run time with the stock brushed motor. If you plan on sticking with 2s lipo then I would get a couple shorty lipo's to give you more run time. I'm getting at least 45 minutes with the Tekin ROC 412 and 3s 2200 lipo's.

- I left the suspension stock which is pretty soft in the rear so it doesn't take high speed corners to sharp without barrel rolling it. You could easily stiffen up the suspension to make it take high speed corners better but then it wouldn't soak up the rough terrain as well as it does at high speeds. - Unfortunately I ruined the stock electronics before I got to mount the GPS on it. I'm guessing it went about 15 MPH, maybe 17 tops. Quote:
Norcal 2500HD came over today and put 500,000 weight in the front diff. It helped some with crawling but I think if you really wanted to hard core rock crawl with it you'll want to install the locker. The stock diff oil definitely made it easier to control at high speeds but I didn't mind it at all, Norcal 2500HD couldn't drive in a straight line to safe his life and as with every other RC he would turn every straight away into a chicane. Quote:
If you want to do slow controlled crawling with it then yes I think you should have a sensored brushless motor, if you plan on doing more rock racing and bashing then a sensorless brushless system like the Traxxas Velineon because it is truly waterproof. I personally don't like Castle stuff, I've done nothing but burn it up. Last edited by badger; 02-07-2013 at 02:37 PM. | |||
