Well finally got it out on the trails, so fun.. It ripes up and down the dirt trials and crawls pretty good on the rocks too.. I had the drag brake set for to much braking but other than that it's pretty fun, I'm gonna try some different gearing in it too, Im Running a 76/27, I'm gonna try 80/22 tomorrow and see how that goes..

Just wondering what gearing everyone else is running, if your running a mod brushless motor like me (8.5 tekin).. Just tring to get a idea where you all are at with that...

Also got a Tbone front bumper coming as well, I like the way it looks on biggamehunters thread build.. Thanks for the ideas...

And I'm in the process of bending a front bolt on stinger for my hammerz as well, I'll get some pics posted of that in a couple of dayz...

I know this pic has nothing to do with the twin hammerz but I love it, it's from my last visit to sand mountain in Nevada, my daughter and I brought our crawlers.. She has a wraith and I got a highly modified scx10..enjoy..

Sand mountain is my playground. Besides my sand rail, I always take the TH and my slash. With paddles they are a bast. Have yet to get the Exo out there, but the weather is slowly warming up so it won't be long.

I'm pulling out of Redding for KOH on Wednesday afternoon. Kling-On RC will be there to watch the 1:1 races, promote our scale crawler hobby and to sell some racks. Stop by and say hello.

I know this has nothing to do with my twin hammerz, but when it's running, my hammerz will go with me in to some cool new terrain..

Ok changed a couple of things, one I switched the shocks out yet again.. I found some old team associated stuff in a bag in my garage and there were some shocks in therefrom a b4.1.. So I installed the rear buggy shock.. Had to just add a few m.m. Of limiting and they seem to work great.. Would love to do the cvd conversion on the front though.. The other is the addition of a t-bone racing front bumper.. Easy install... Next will be that traxxas steering I've been talking about...lol...


Enjoy.. ;)
