It's discontinued by Vaterra. You might find some new old stock on the shelf if you're lucky. To my knowledge the exact vehicle is not sold under another name elsewhere. There are several cheap copies made, but they are not the same and don't use the same parts. |

Good luck finding one. I looked for months before locating one. Found plenty of scam sites first...

As a Twin Hammer fan, please do not buy a clone. By the time you upgrade the shocks, ring/pinion, trans gears, and whatever else fails, you'd be better off starting genuine Vaterra. I got one of the first batch years as go. Like it so much I recently picked up another. Plus the build is half the fun. As a 1:1 wheeler and a U4 dreamer the Twin checks all my boxes. I will say it is the type of truck (small fasteners, torque sensitive hardware in places) that I wouldn't trust a rtr, clone or genuine for that matter, to come properly assembled. I suggest scouring for a kit. Post a wanted add here. Do the occasional Google search. They do exist. |

There's a kit on Ebay right now, but I don't know if you'd be able to get them to ship it to the UK.

Can’t tell you how bummed the TH has been discontinued. When I die, I am going to be buried with all of mine....
