| Twin Hammer with 4ws (4 wheel steer)
Anyone ever hear of a Twin Hammers with 4ws? I am wondering if the Ascender or any other front axle out there has the same diff gears as the Hammer? The Hammer spool gear is 40t and pinion is 14t. Thanks Last edited by Stan3535; 01-11-2018 at 11:24 PM. |

Check in the 1.55 section at how the Yeti Jr axle was modded into a front axle for a build. Worth looking into. There’s a SASed Twin Hammers out there and I think he used the Ascender front axle. Maybe both, but I’m not sure.

Thanks for the responses guys. I have checked into these trucks gearing. Unfortunately they are all different than the Twin Hammers. I have checked pretty much every solid axles gearing I could find. Bummer is I think the Hammer has gearing unique only to the Hammer. |

So I have ran my Hammer with both diffs open on a track, I don't thing anyone else has done that mod. But now I found a way to make the Hammer 4ws but its not too easy 4ws in the Hammer. Awesome candidate for it I |

Well I just put the Hammers front open diff in the rear solid axle then very carefully dremeled out a groove on the axle shafts to accept the pin within the spider gears. I thought it would be weak but I ran it hard for quit a while and all is still good. Now I found a way to use a old ax10 axle housing on the rear and use the Hammers 40/14 gears so I will be getting my 4ws after all. I'm back to both diffs locked.

It worked! I put the entire Vaterra diff assembly in the AX10 housing. Was way easy. Had to dremel some and took time to shim the ring/pinion perfectly so I now have 4WS with 40/14 gearing in both diffs. |

Pics? I'm potentially interested in trying the same. I'm down in Oregon City so I may bump into you at some point!
