Hammer Time!!!

[Tgreer]

Alright this is my hammer! I'm running stock for a while then I will upgrade!

Here's what I've done

Lubed tranny
Set the servos
Metal panels
Sanded tires internally
Softer front foams
Front shocks have another hole added and 30wt oil
500k diff oil up front

Things to come
MMP
27t or 35t motor, will test both to see what I like
Pitbull Tires (sitting on my shelf because they don't hold on stock wheels)
Clocked knuckles
Some VP goodness I'm sure
Some kind of light bar









Here's my brand new pits with CI foam just sitting on the shelf

i like the green and yellow man, John Deere all the way, reminds me of my wraith

[Coastie07]

The John Deere colors are awesome, that came out really well!

[Sheepdawg23wm]

This looks pretty badass man. Have you thought about painting the beadlock rings green?

[d34thw1sh]

Thanks guys! I'm kinda stuck on the John Deere thing! My berg has the green and soon my sport will too!

[Tgreer]

Took the hammer out for some fun today, first time since the paint job! Had to go get my first scratches on it!

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I just happen to have a couple pics of your rig too.

[Manning]

I got to put the first scratches on it! Thanks Thommy!

[Tgreer]

Finally got my pits mounted! Replaced the electronics with MMP, 27t brushed, 4pl! So took it for a spin and....................





27t brushed on stock pinion is too fast for me!!! I'm going to try 35t brood on a 32t pinion

[Erin]

I guess I will drop the pinion abit more for my 25t lol, already started at 3 teeth less.
Im assuming the arm broke jumping or hitting something fast?

[Tgreer]

It hit a rock, if you look close you can see where the rock hit. That was 3/4 throttle, so that's too fast for me, I want a little more crawl and a little less speed. I want about 120% stock speed with way more torque. This 27t was good torque but way more speed!

You could just limit your throttle setting to keep you from maxing it out on speed. That way you would still have the torque without the top speed.

Yeah, I may do that, but I have a nice 35t brood sitting on my shelf, so I think I want to give it a try.

[Tgreer]

Well, I've spent alot of time with my hammer now, and I love this thing! I've silly puddied the front dif and I have settled on a 27t brushed with a 24t pinion. For me this has the perfect mix of speed and crawl! My metal skins are looking cool with realistic dents and scratches. I am also loving the pitbulls with the CI foams. It was a blast to run at Disney OK last week, there is tons of rock to romp around on! I've thought about trying an open diff in the rear for better steering, so if you have any input let me know!

Great to see someone else on here putting up pics of a TH that looks actually used. Getting sick of seeing all the shelf queens.
