    I'm really thinking about getting a nice RC and making a big trail/track in my back yard.
    Looks like it could be another expensive hobby though :D

    Sweet. I love the Twin Hammers. It is my go to rig. I have built 3 versions of it, and one RTR.
    I have yet to run any 3s lipos. Still on 2s all around so couldn't say for sure, but I have used a variety of aluminum servo horns in my rigs and never had any troubles.

    The servo is likely a metal geared Tactic.

    Tactic servos are junk. Spend the money on a high torque savox or hitec when the time comes

    I haven't had terrible experiences with Tactics, but have burned up one and heard this from many.

    While it aint necessarily the sexiest choice, Traxxas generally makes good stuff from all I have experienced and heard.

    Hahahaha finished the battery mount, sealed up a battery and decided it needed a lift too. So I made some brackets and got about 6/10ths"
