Maybe it's a kit version of the Twin Hammers...

Obviously not, but please don't crush my dreams.

yeah, looks like it is, but prolines or their own?

the angle of the shocks, the AMS, just doesnt scream scaler to me.

i vote for something recatish with a more scale looking body.

It's good that there may or may not be another choice in the scale market soon but I hope it doesn't suck to work on or is as fragile as the twin hammers. I'm pretty sure vaterra had the screws made of integy's patented alumargerine that strip at the mere thought of being turned, a cage that must be partially removed to work on the trans that is held together with the previously mentioned alumargerine screws, front axle shafts that snap on command, steering that gets sloppier than a 3 peso tijuana crank whore on the first day of usage etc.


It looks like it has stainless links and the tsl's give me hope it'll be decent.

I'm in the same boat. I doubt this is a scale truck. Looks too much like a dedicated crawler.

the profile looks more round than prolines, but that could be foams or weights. at first I thought it didn't have center lug sipes, which would be a giveaway that it wasn't proline, but looking again it does appear to have them.

To me it looks like a little 1.9. Being that Losi and Vaterra are attached, I wonder if we will see a rehash of the MRC.
