Default Mr. Ed's Twin Hammer

I wanted to buy one of these for the longest time. I ment to buy a new one but I could pass up the deal I got on this. I paid $200 bones for this one. It came with.



HR Hardened gears in the tranny
HH 13 T brushed Motor
Hitect 225 shift servo
solor 772 steer servo
junfac drive shaft








It had no rims and tires but I had a set of swampers
I have either some stock axial rims or proline rims with MT rings. which ones would yall use. If I use the axial rims I will get some rings for it.



I bought the gcm shock kit because Ive been reading a ton of these builds and it seems to be one of the better kits to use. I have some spare scx-10 shocks to use. I like the Junfac piggy back shocks but haven't pulled that trigger yet.



I have no manual to refer to so this will be a blind build so to speak.

I notice the motor wires seem to small I will probably upgrade them to a larger size. If yall see something I'm missing let me know. I have a Mamba max pro esc I'm not sure if it runs brushed motors or not but I will research that. I've only used Holmes esc's in the past.

question...is there a BEC wireing diagram for dual servo's for this rig? if so can you post a link. I can wire 1 but not sure about 2.

You can run a MMP with a brushed motor and I don't think it has a motor limit.
Try this!

Got My GCM conversion in the front and a set of scx-10 shocks tuned down to fit. I like it so far. I'm gonna need to paint this kit black I dont like the natural finish and just my luck as soon as I buy it...then they start offering it in black

Here's some RC Porn to tide yall over till the next progress report

Excited about this weekend...I stayed up late last night and FINALLY got it running. I have to wait for the ground to dry up from the rain last night but I'm going to get to drive it for the first time

Well I got to drive it in the drive way for about 10mins...the motor got pretty warm. I dropped it from a 23 tooth pinion down to a 20 and that seemed to help. I grabbed Taylor (My Daughter) and her Toyota and went to the lake for a quick run. made it about another 10 mins before the set screws on the drive shaft came loose...and of course I didnt bring the right tool but in the 20 mins of driving....WOW its a TON of fun!!!!

That's the way I got it wired...I didnt figure that a hitech 225 could burn up a MMP...and if it does...I'm Officially done with Castle Products
