Default Project overkill ifs - not really a hammer anymore
I had a idea to make with twin hammer parts a scaler with ifs for nearly every scale and crawl fun out there. It should look like a prerunner and run like a u4 and scale car in one.

Team hrcct frame rails, twin hammer parts and wraith skid plate

Looks like a good start. How sturdy is the front diff mount?
Keep the updates coming.

I'm so going to do the same for my next build but have a 95 S10 Blazer body made so I can build a scale version of my full size.

Nice! I've had the same idea in my head for a while now. Glad I'm not the only one. I decided to scratch build the frame. And go with a lexan body. I didn't think to recycle the plastic cage like that though. I like it. I'll be watching for ideas!

That thing is beyond sick! I'm totally in love with this build! I have a bug body for my Hammers, but you're making me wish I had got a truck body instead. Keep up the good work.

Im sure you dont wnat everyone and theirs mothers doing this build. But do you have any better pics of how everything mounted to the frame rails, like the rear links, the shock towers, the whole front assembly to include steering setup.
Thanks
