It's not a VP rigid light bar, I would like to install one though because it being a flood light would give me the close range light that I need. The spot lights would be a perfect compliment to VP's Rigid light bar. The lights I installed and took pics of last night are are pair of Hand Bros "SUN SPOT" triple LED scale off-road lights (the lights have a max output of 567 lumens at 9.6v.). Unfortunately you cannot buy them anymore because Hand Bros no longer makes them. Big thanks for my homie rbgibberish at Tammie's Hobbies for selling me their last set of these lights. | ||

These would look awesome in the light pods on the shell. Depends on their size though? Could you measure them please badger? |

Hello all, I would like to know how the axle is being in 5 parts, seems fine for crawling low speed how is it at high speed and jumps? Also is there any (a little, a lot, or not much) play in the front end steering, tires, shock setup? Great pics and review so far, i do like the 2.2 and the truck body looks like it will be awsome when a fitting one comes out. Thanks for the pics and review |

I think with a little modification the TT body would work. I wonder if you can do a "reverse" bob on the bed. Like cut an inch or so off the front part of the bed that connects with the cab. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 |

| Re: Badger's Vaterra Twin Hammers 1.9 Rock Racer I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking a dovetail could possibly be cool too.

It looks like a nice ride but I will wait for the tried and true product that I have come to know that Axial will deliver (hopefully soon) as they have always done for us so many times before. It never hurts to have a little competition to help drive the excitement and fun factor between enthusiasts when we get together for an event or just some backyard thrashing between friends. Supporting those that support us is important and if you haven't been to an Axial or RECON event you may not understand the level of the Family First fun philosophy that they and so many others provide. I hope that this will not start a debate about whose product is better or not, but will inspire others to join in and take our sport to the next level and bring more people outdoors together for the common goal..."good times with good people". Respectfully, Thom K |

what i hope for is more companies to bring ready to run rigs like this with everything already included not just the minimum for the money we are spending.how much would you have to spend to build a rig like this right now with everything included rtr ,to build an axial would cost you two or three times as much, maybe we should all be looking for companies that build rigs like this that are looking for people like us to buy their product not the other way around ,we are the consumer without us they are nothing but with us they are everything . warriorsimi verse 1.1 you better recognize.

| Or folks who just don't have knowledge or time to put everything together. I like axial products but I felt like they fell a little short without offering a battery/charger for their RTR. There will be the folks who take this rig apart and rebuild it with what they want while people like me want plug and play from day one. I guess time will tell what others do in light of this setup and packaged deal.

When he says bike park, he means downhill insane mtn bike park on a hillside....... it soaks bumps like no other Rc I have seen, as for durability in the first jump attempt on a 9' gap it hit right in the face of the landing ramp and no breakage I am very impressed with how tough it is I think I will be ordering one |

Hello, This is a very sexy RC ! I have a losi XXX SCB with tunning kit and BL motor 4700kv SC8 ESC, running in 2S lipo bat and my ration is 10,69:1 - my top speed is 70 km/h (~43 mp/h) with a GPS. So I'm thinking about sell my SCB for take this vaterra... for try something différent. - Does my BL combo will work with the transmition ? - Do it turn well on "speed" gear, not like a SC of course, but better than a classic crawler i guess ? - What is the RTR top speed ? thx in advance and sry about my poor english ^^ |
