New Twin Hammers owner.... Hi guys... you will see me poking around asking questions soon. Got my son a TH RTR for the holidays and it's so awesome I had to buy the Kit version for myself! Will the S500 Spektrum servo work for shifting? Was looking at the SCT Castle 3800 combo... was looking to make it 10-20% faster than the stock RTR. But I would like some low speed control and waterproofing. Maybe brushed is the best way to go?? |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... Welcome to the club. I love brushless in mine. Shifting doesn't need a lot of power, just make sure your end points are set so the servo doesn't keep trying to push. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... I built my kit a week ago and paired it with the SCT 3800 combo. Works great!!!! Using a 28 pinion I believe. I bought a hitec servo for shifting so I can't comment on that spektrum. |

Are you using it for any crawling? Or just high speed runs? How is low speed control? |

I'm running 26t I think for crawling and trailing. It does well for both. I am actually very impressed at how well the thing actually crawls. It's impressive truck, very under rated in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... Oh..... Castle just released the NEW Mamba X WATERPROOF SENSORED Brushless system! Going to pre-order it! |

I own a lot of axial.... Yeti Jr., yeti score, Yeti xl, and an scx10 but last week when I put my hammers together I couldn't help but be impressed with the quality of the transmission and build quality. There were a couple things like the steering rack that I wasn't fond of but for the most part I love it. |

Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... Want to pre-order a new Castle system.. so I go with the standard shaft or the larger 5MM shaft? Seems that pinions are available with either option I select. 5mm more durable? Never had an issue with a motor shaft before. 5mm becoming the new standard?? Still undecided between the 3800 vs 4600. Now with the Sensored Mamba X release.. I will still have great low speed control with whatever motor I pick. I can always go with the 4600 and just cap off the top end... hmmm...... decisions. Any advise on this one? |

3800 kv. You don't need it to go any faster than that. |

3800 would be entirely to slow on 2S, I would get board. |

What pinion gear would you recommend for the 4600 with the stock 78t spur? |

I have plenty other machines for a speed fix. How fast would you guesstimate your hammers is? I would say mine has got to be doing around 25 mph. |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... I have made a final decision.... I'm going Brushed with a 15T motor. Exact same setup as my sons TH V2 RTR. That way when I "race" against my 6yo, things will be fair and still very fun. And I get to save $150 over buying a brushless setup for now. |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... Fun is the name of the game. Hope you enjoy the heck out of it. |
Re: New Twin Hammers owner.... Thanks. My son has been crawling it.... driving it thru the snow and jumping. What a blast! I really hope HH keeps this model for awhile and more people would catch onto it. |
