Wheelbyte's Twin Hammers
 
Got back into RC's awhile back spent the last year or so building up a couple 2WD Slash's for my son and I to have fun with... its been a blast. A few months ago I purchased a Twin Hammers as I was looking for something a little more scale and would be fun to trail as well as go out with my kids and still bash once in awhile.

Finally decided it was time to start a build thread.

Started with ESC and motor upgrade alonf with Aluminum hex's and 500K diff fluid.

MMP & Tekin ROC412 3100kv

I originally shot the stock body with PlastiDip while it looked cool it did not hold up all that well

I recently added the Derwood front shock mount along with their steering kit. I am also running 90mm Kings up front and the 110mm Faux PiggyBacks out back

I recently got some GearHead Sixer Beadlocks and am going to run the RC4WD Mickey Thompson 4.19 Baja Claws

Will have to post more photos once I get them mounted up......

That's a nice transformation. Rims look great.

I love it..... Super smooth and tons of torque. I have a veilneon in my slash and it's a nice motor too but the roc412 is different beast. I have not messed with gearing on my TH and am running stock gearing so it's a tad slower than my slash but plenty of speed for this platform.

Re: Wheelbyte's Twin Hammers
 
i have have heard nothing bad about this motor, so im gonna order it. Are u running sensored? if so does it crawl well with no cogging? im just running the velineon temporary in my TH till i find the motor i like, and im sure its the roc412 3100kv

Be cautious with those 90mm shocks. You'll have too much downstroke on jumps and the front CV's will pop out unless you internally limit them. Quite a few people have had that happen ...myself included :(

Yeah I am running it "smart" sensored with the Castle MMP. No cogging at all very smooth throttle throughout the entire range.

No problems so far with the 90mm Kings.......I'll have to keep an eye on them though.

Where did you get the Gearhead wheels from? Everywhere I have checked doesn't have them in stock.

I got them at RPP Hobby...... But I see both the Hammer 5 spoke and the Sixer are both out of stock at the moment.

Congrats on your build Wheelbyte. Really looks super nice.
I am a big fan of your double rear shocks too!

I really dig those wheels too. But, I haven't been able to find them either. Dig your TH BTW, nice work.

Hunh? $100 for 4 high quality wheels isn't bad at all and they come with everything you need to mount them up. Not like the Vanquish wheels. Now those are high dollar.
