Another Twin Hammers...:Kit Build:

[lonleycreeper]

It fits really well indeed. Look forward to seeing it alll painted up

I have a Chinese Jeep clone body of the Axial keep that fits this chassis quite well, too. Just a thought.

Painted!

 

[lonleycreeper]

Ok!

Motor swap!

Lol

Went down to a 3000 kv 4 pole, with a castle 10 amp bec, and up to 3s lipo, 2200...

So expect carnage soon....

The Twin Hammers is such a great little rig!

Why the motor and battery switch? Would be curious to hear about the performance difference and be reminded of your previous motor.

I run my TH’s on 2s. My quickest one has a 10.5T sensored in it and I just love the thing.

I pulled out the 4000kv 4 pole I ran on 2s....
The effenciey of 3 s with even more wheelspeed than before!

Thanks rs10man.

Well I need a little help....


I am tired of gernading front cvd's, I break a pin in the cvd, replace that with music wire, then shatter the shaft where it narrows. I only get about four hours of hill climbing and rock crawling out of a cvd set.
Anybody have any solutions? I have no problem modifying stuff, but I am really looking for a drop in solution at the moment.

I might just have to rebuild the front diff as sealed open diff, and use diff fluid. Sigh.

Well that was a few years ago... My solution was to hang the girl on a wall and ignore her...

I have been itching to drive her again... but brushless has too much power for this chassis, besides I have a RYFT when I have the urge to Rock bounce. So I borrowed a Hobby Wing 1080 and Holmes Hobbies 16 Crawl master Sport 540 out of another Rig I never drive... Also threw a Power hobbies 329 up front to replace the slow Hitec. had to customize the servo horn to get it to work but I now have more steering travel and more servo power...

Turning her into more of a crawler less racer....

now to do something about the weak shift servo...

 

[lonleycreeper]

And tidied up the wires and put her back together...

Also put on some 4.75 Crawlers!

Is your front differential locked? If so, your driveshafts would probably last longer if you opened that differential.

I used Silly Putty to "lock" mine. It still crawled great and I never had a driveshaft fail.

It's worth trying to keep that good 'ol Twin Hammers up & running like it should be.

Yes it is locked. I was running a 3000kv brushless in it before and was breaking cvd's nearly every time out... I reduced power by over half with the brushed combo I put in, so lets see. I do have a couple spares so if I break another cvd I will unlock the front end.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Made it out on the trail today and.... welllll .... something in the rear axle broke... Carnage report incoming...

 

[lonleycreeper]

Good news... nothing wrong with the rear axle, just drive shaft set screws were loose...
