Default LTB's hammer time

I picked this twin hammers up used a couple weeks ago, and it was completely stock and in pristine condition.
Here is a list of the mods I have done so far
mamba max pro
tenshock sc411 3500kv sensored
27t pinion for the 5mm shaft
gcm front shock tower
gcm rear upper link mount
bluemonkey stage 2 rear suspension
HR air shocks up front
vp limit straps up front
vaterra aluminum knuckles and castor blocks
vaterra front diff locker
extreme racing lime green carbon fiber panels
lockeduprc wheels
1.9 rock beast with c.I foams

Next on the list of upgrades is to fix the sloppy steering and put some better wheels & tires on it. Also want to get the gcm rear link mount to help with torque twist.
here is a pic of how it sits for now.

The derwood design steering upgrade will eliminate your steering slop. I put one on my hammers and it has made a world of difference.

I have Been reading up on that. Not sure how easy it would be to install with the gcm shock tower though.

Took the twin out for a minute today and had a oops moment. Apparently my front shocks were not limited enough, and the left dog bone popped out breaking the upper link mount clean off the front diff housing in the process. Luckily vaterra parts are cheap at only $7 for a new one. Has anyone tried vanvanquish limiting straps on a twin? May be a nice scale functional touch.

Straps would look cool as long as they don't cause binding.
