Love the VW body on the Hammers. I'm torn about which of my trucks to spend my $ on. I have both a Yeti and a TH. Seeing builds like yours makes it even tougher to choose.

Yeah Im gonna use it too...... planning to hit up the G6 that RPP is sponsoring in Oct. Its gonna be tough that first time out when it goes flipping down a 15ft embankment but it would be a shame to just have it sit on the shelf. Thats what pictures are for......HaHa

Good to here, I am also still running my original cryo test axle set. Going on 2 years only had to replace 1 cross pin.

What are you using for your front upright shock mount? I haven't seen one like it. Is it from a vendor, or home made?

It was made by forum member Derwood. I am not sure he makes them anymore.

Made it out to the RPP Hobby RC Jamboree and G6. It was a good time! Fridays events were held at RPP where they have a killer little scale course and a bunch of vendors set up.. Saturdays G6 was held at Lake Mendocino.

Course consisted of 80+ gates and we ran two laps for a total of 160+ gates. Second time around thru the water it was pretty rutted out and I flooded my pan chassis and fried my MMP.... even know I had dipped it in CorrosionX. Oh well :( Ordered up a new Holmes Hobbies BLE that is waterproofed and got it installed. Here are some photos.....
