Default hammerdown motorsports twin hammer

well mine is on the way, thank you to all of you for the info that helped me to decide to get one first plan of attack is aluminum roof and hood, and peel the pitbulls off of my honcho for it. it will be running a tekin FXR, hitec 7954sh, castle bec, 35t tekin, sr300 rx. in albuquerque its pretty dry so not much of a need for the waterproof stuff, besides i need to re-coop some of the cash i spent on this rig so the wife doesnt kill me

made some progress on the hammerdown rig. the weather warmed up enough to paint, i went with Krylon fusion satin black. i still need to track down some GMADE 103mm piggybacks but they are no where to be found, dont know if they have been discontinued or just on backorder for awhile. if anyone can answer that please do i would appriciate that. also where are some of you getting the KC decals for the lights on the roof and hood? thanks

the races that i put on here in new mexico are a combination of the two, we usually start in a wash/creekbed that has some rocky challenges then it will turn onto a high speed path that leads back to the beginning of the wash/creekbed. we usually make 2 laps with a mandatory spare tire change to simulate a flat tire.

update on how the hammerdown rig is coming. i have installed the front locker (huge improvement). "bad apple" made my KC light decals, he should have a vender star by now but he does great work and im very impressed and will recommend him to everyone for decal work. i also made some upper shock mount bushings, i just dont like plastic ones.

shock bushings

bushings installed

Love the light decals. I'll have to get some for the rockstar build I'm thinking about.
