My Twin Hammers buggy

[Turtlejon]

Post some new pics with all that stuff mounted!!

[noname0383]

I will... Still waiting for some stuff to come in...
And not enought time lately...

[noname0383]

A small update...

[noname0383]

Received the rest of the puzzle... Traxxas turnbukles, Vaterra rod ends, etc and my RC4WD rear axle casing... Wow... really well made

[noname0383]

Took some time to work and upgrade my TH...
HR shock tower, lower/upper link mount and MIP drive shaft...

[noname0383]

Next, the rear axle... RC4WD alu casing... Spin butter smooth and so beautifull...

[noname0383]

Build and installed the Gmade piggyback 103mm rear shocks, Blue Monkey lower arm and Ti upper link: rear mod complete...
Will have to figure out the best setup for trail and bashing... A lot of options there... 9 holes on the shock mount and 3 on the trailing arm

[noname0383]

Now for the front:
Vaterra Beefy outdrive, alu knuckles, chubs and hex, Blue Monkey front shock plate/mount, Gmade piggyback 85mm... That about it's for now...

[noname0383]

And this is basically how it stand right now, without any setup done...
And I'm working on a "scale" interior too... (Not finished yet...)

[noname0383]

And some flex shots...

[noname0383]

So now I need to : finish my interior, find a way to easily open the hood to access battery, find a setup for bashing and one for trailing...

I can tell you for bashing you want the 3 hole pistons front and rear and the soft springs in the front. All of this without the battery in front. My suspension almost was nonexistent with the 2 hole pistons. I am also using the oil that came with the piggyback shocks. I also run medium sway bars front and rear which helps a lot for stability!

Did you found a way to open the hood and access the battery easily?

[noname0383]

No, not yet... didn't have time to really put my head into it... between renovations, job, family,... I didn't put as much time as I wanted in the hobby in the last past weeks...
When things calm down a bit, ill be back with more updates on all my "on hold build"...

[noname0383]

And for this one, I will probably change my front shock for the aeration ... I don't like the way it looks with the big reservoir up front...

I would recommend taking out the rubber pad on the bottom of the shock as well. I don't run them and it's fine. However, if I did run them, there was nearly no front suspension travel at all.

I have not had any problems with the aeration up front, but I did cut 6mm segments of fuel tubing and placed them inside the shock to limit down travel to 80mm instead of the 85 that is provided by those shocks.

[noname0383]

Finally had a little time... I "bent" my blue monkey upright shocks to be more... Upright, more vertical... The shocks seems to move better this way...
I also cut my hood cage to be able to acces batterie and lock it down with body clip... Works like a charm... (I push the body pin completely and hide the tie rap behind the panel)
I set up all my electro, cables, etc...
Take of bump stopper of my front shocks (but still waiting for my aeration shocks to show up)
Found my driver: http://www.amazon.ca/DC-COMICS-Batma...action+figures

That about it for now...

[noname0383]

My new driver and my "interior"... Relocate the switch to be more accessible...
"Only" thing left is to change my front shock with gmade aeration...

[noname0383]

Finally received my aeration shocks... Way better than the big piggyback...
Also installed some vp limiter straps so the shaft doesn't pop out of the cup... And just long enought to get all my flex

[noname0383]

The rear...
