As shown on our website, gcmracing, the max shock length is 85mm. SCX stock shocks need a 5 mm internal limit added for less down travel. Do that, and you're on.
Great stuff, working on my Th and bought your shocktower upgrade. Love the looks of it already. Queastion however, there isn't much room for a 3S cell lipo. What lipo are you running. Even my 2200's do not fit under there....
Hi, we used a 2200 with the factory hood webbing cut out, so it was only a lexan shell on the hood with side plastic rails only left inside. That worked out well, although the smaller cells in the 1800 3s are much easier to fit.
Thanks for replying my far away Rc friends :) So i ordered a bunch of 1800 S's now. Thumbs up for this shockhoop mod. Really is a solid design. Will take my "Brethren" project to the net level :)
Thanks for the comments, You can check out the full build threads and information at scalebuildersguild or at gcmracing .ca for more info. The parts listed in this channel are available at gcmracing. ca Cheers
Pretty much got out of the RC hobby, but know with the TH kit and this video, I think I need to get back in it. Guess I just hate money or something haha.
@@GCMRacing1 Thanks! I'm limited to 2s as I am using a Dynamite 2in1 motor with built in esc...has a 2s limit. Surprisingly smooth! Saves a TON of room in the chassis as well!
Thanks for the comments! The wheels in this vid are the Axial 8 spoke 2.2 beadlocks, and the tires are PitBull 1.9 stretched over. The rings are a custom printed set I made up. There's a full review with shocks and all on this video here. THanks Vaterra Twin Hammers Talk at GCM
The softer spring and better shock action does help the thing. That's true. I think with some major shock tuning or changes on the stock front suspension you could make it better also, without the tower plate change.
I think it's a preference thing. I use this more for crawling than speed, so the front tray and front battery with front locker is my preference. It's a great performer this way also.
I have the gcm shower towers for my VTH and axial shocks, after install, it looks like my front drive shafts are too short and keep popping off, pls help.
rs san The MAX shock down travel size for this tower setup is 85mm full shock extension. This is measured at the bolt center, for the top attach bolt and the lower attach bolt. If your dogbones are still popping out, then it's likely your lower control arms. I have seen those get loose and sloppy after some run time and need replacements to keep the front end together and in line. Check out the picture at GCM here for this item and shock sizes: gcmracing.ca/viewitem.php?productid=98
you guys have an upright kit for sale ? I have a WLtoys 10428 which is a exact copy of the vaterra twin hammers and want to upgrade the front suspension.
SERIOUSLY!!!?? *Not Bashing GCM* I promise!!! I've always appreciated all that you guys have done for #TinyTrucks !! But, I've wanted a few things for older Vehicles (SCX10 One), and I've noticed that too many awesome parts are no longer available. 😫😭😭 I'm surprised and grateful that these are still available! It may still take me a while to get enough money.... Everybody knows my story by now. Anyway, THANKS!!! 👏👏👏👏🍻🍻👍👍😎 Carmine 💥 ⛽
Hey guys, any fans of King Shocks! , I have the GCM tower plate up front with the king shocks ( 80mm) fits beautiful, on the rear also King Shocks! ,without grinding on the swing arm! ...i purchased king shocks for the yeti bomber!!!!!. 110mm. ..the shock eyes are deeper and thus no modifications! ..part # Z-DOO62 ...

Those Upgrades are GOLDEN !!! Get them, they are worth every cent!
This, the interior, and the upper cage is really making me want to buy a twin hammers. The GCM upgrades make it a much better car.
Nice work as usual.
when i get my twin hammers i will definitely be getting these upgrades, they look fantastic!
That is an incredible buggy, Fantastic job gentlemen!
The only other thing the twin hammers needs now is a little bit more break over angle. Maybe some bent rear links for a tad more clearance?
amazing job, looks like it performs way better than stock
That is a great improvement for the twin hammers it's a good rig
This is such an amazing mod, if I had a TH I would definitely buy one. Great job!
Not for long. Stock goes up June 11
@sanuksize45 Yeah I'm sure, there's a lot of UK hobby stores. And sometimes the stores in the US will ship over seas
Great mod! You should have it in black too! It will look a lot better! And options for the costumer ;P
great work, nice looking parts...and looks like it really works great!
I really can see the drive ability performance increase. Do these mods take away from the high speed performance?

amorton94 That's funny! There's more videos of the hammer, including a full review on the channel also.
Noticed you still stock/sell this. Can I put a bellcrank steering system onto the underside?
Yes, there's a link for it in the web page item.
Heck yeah I'll put in an order this weekend 👍
Does a shorty pack fit underneath the hood?
What shock oil viscosity did u use?
40 wt
Cool thx. That's the viscosity I use in my ascender and wraith
What battery are you putting up front? A shorty hardcase seems to be too big.
We used a 2200 2s battery for a while and then 1800 3s.
@@GCMRacing1 Thanks! I'm limited to 2s as I am using a Dynamite 2in1 motor with built in esc...has a 2s limit. Surprisingly smooth! Saves a TON of room in the chassis as well!
Where can i get the shock towers
Hi how much r they upgrades for the twin hammer I'm in the uk thanks dave
can you use a full size 2s lipo with this mount or can you still use a shorty pack?
Calvin Lord Ryan has a shorty pack in his, and I'm using 3s 2200 batteries.
What Wheel, Tire, and Shock setup you guys running? Great job

got this all installed and the dog bones keep coming out of the cup to much travel with scx10 shocks
Where can I purchase a front suspension conversion kit? I've emailed GCM a few times with no reply. Please advise!
gcmracing.ca is the store in canada. We always reply to email. Haven't heard from you. There's no stock at the moment.
@@GCMRacing1 I sent another email yesterday. Any idea when they will be available?
@@packhntr to where? We didn't get anything about hammers yesterday. Use the store email shown at gcmracing.ca
@@GCMRacing1 DONE. I had sent them to the -USA site email. This one went to the .CA one.
awesome - how is higher speed handling now with upright shocks?
The softer spring and better shock action does help the thing. That's true. I think with some major shock tuning or changes on the stock front suspension you could make it better also, without the tower plate change.
GCMRacing1 does this mod help keep it more stable and less tip overs? I have the front locker on mine which doesnt help either lol
I think it's a preference thing. I use this more for crawling than speed, so the front tray and front battery with front locker is my preference. It's a great performer this way also.
Where can a fellow get the twin hammer?
horizon hobby, if they still have stock.
Can u get these in Australia
Great video!
