these are the bad boys im going with ! KING shocks all the way ! no fox gay pieces of crap hahah but they look way more scale and will perform better i belive and also the real truck im moddeling off has king shocks so should be good . in the future aka soon akkaa very soon if i sell my micro trial trekker ill get vanqu shock mounts and run a bypass and coil over ! shock loook good "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Haha im headed in almost the exact direction with my hammers those shocks are gunna look awesome on there

 

[Pockets70]

cant wait to see your truck ! make sure to start a build thread man hahaha also guys a tip with the twin hammers if you want more front suspension travel as in like fitting 90mm shocks in the front end take the front dog bones out (drive shafts) and you will notice the arms drop alot with the shocks disconnected note ... i am using the gcm racing suspension mounts so the upright shocks and all haha "thumbsup" but if i could go back i would of put better bolts into the meatal plate because they rounded off :/ so now i cant put my hot racing steering rack in the truck :evil: .. the old one snapped . so the car is undrivable at the moment and i also need to re solder the plug back onto the esc haha .

 

[Motoxracer]

Haha real kings would be awesome! To get te wheel base right on the body did u cut te back fenders down or get longer links?

 

[sporties470]

umm im pretty sure i didnt cut it ahha i thinkj the rear pannels can kinda tuck in side of the door pannels

 

[rjwalker]

This is sweet, great idea gives the hammer a whole new look "thumbsup"

 

[Steelfish]

Dang this looks sexy.. you are more than welcome to come here (Baja) to try out your TH throphy truck once finished.
I always looked the TH like a nice platform to make a real scale TT..

Baja 1000 off road race is at its max at this moments passing my the TT at my town

 

[sporties470]

thanks alot guys ! more pictures probably tonight ! .. i got the steering rack in and its drivable ! just waiting on the KING shocks

How did you mount the hood with the shock tower? I love this build! Have been thinking about doing the same thing for a while.

havnt actually mounted any pannels yet but i could either cut slots for the shock towers to stick through or just drill holes through the bonnet into the shocks towers .. either way will work"thumbsup"
