    it's pretty easy to do, just have to have the right gear. if you do it once, you'll never go back.

    I wish those could become a race class (the one with the solid rear axle). would be so cool

    As soon as I saw it a few weeks ago I had it on preorder :p
    Seems to be a solid rig, my 2200mah sky lipos fit in it so I have a good amount of batterys for it if i switch it to deans.

    Been following a few threads on rccrawler, seems there maybe someing in the future for a race class for a rig like this.

    Just went and popped the cage off, not too bad, 12 screws. Much easier then the exo.

    12 screws still sounds pretty solid.

    Its solid, my exo is 16 or 18 screws, disconnects all 4 shocks on one end, plus got to remove the 2 rear wheels to acess some screws. This is much easier to take off.

    Took the twin hammers out for a first run, also took my 1/16 summit with me. I am very pleased with how the twin hammers preforms, it handles awesome and takes jumps better then my slash, shifting on the fly is pretty cool, my shifting servo made it through the first pack so we'll see how long it lasts. I really wanna go brushless in it now after running it, still gonna wait until i break it :eek:

    Anyway, snapped some pics :D
