Badger's Vaterra Twin Hammers 1.9 Rock Racer

[madbull666]

holey information overload. quite the write-up badger. i keep looking at this thing and not sure if i want to bite the bullet and spend $300 or not but from what ive seen it looks like a deal to me. i just spent a little over an hour trying to read everything and i may have missed it so please excuse me if im repeating a previous question. seems youve done a fair amount of testing so my questions are this 1.have you broken anything yet? and 2.hows the driveline holding up to the brushless power? thanks and i really apreciate the in depth review. i see a twin hammers in my future, anyone wanna buy a used traxxas 1/16 car? haha

I've had 1 mechanical failure so far. The axle pin spun in the plastic hex , probably from the over abundance of power the Tekin ROC 412 has.

But my sv3 I ordered for it was supposed to be here Saturday. I guess instead it decided to jump from California all the way to Maine. It didn't want to come to Utah. Wonder how long it will take Maine PO to realize there's no town called "Utah" in the state of Maine.

Good ol' Utah, Maine.

haha thanks natedog, i tried to take it all in but 21 pages of a thread in one sitting is clearly too much for me, i was excited but my eyes started to hurt after like 14 pages. i appreciate the quick response

What do you guys think of a HH 10t PULLER in the twin hammers?? Think it would be quicker than the 15t? Smoother bottom end? both??

I've never owned a puller so i dont know from experience how they act, but i have one coming in the mail as we speak. if it's quicker than the stock TWH motor that'd be sweet, but like i said, i have no idea how puller motors drive. Anybody have any idea?

I don't think the 10t will be faster than the stock 15t. A huge amount more torque but that's about it.

ahh bummer. oh well i'll put it in my c2 rig

I took some pics yesterday, I went all the way to the top again getting more video footage. I forgot to take pics when I was going up so I took them coming back down.

Look like a great spot for this rig.

Very good, so good that we did a little over 2hr night run with lights on the twin hammers and got off the hill after 10:00 pm Saturday night

[SubyJeff]

that spot was so badass. Were the rocks that we called it quits the top?

That is near the very top of the hill, we did not even get close to there.


What parts would those be? I ain't missin no parts, I just broke shit and that's not the spot where it broke

[SubyJeff]

lol my bad :P

i thought i remember a couple things falling off!

This thing reminds me of the HPI Mini Trophy and the Gmade R1. Lots of hype because its something new. Time will tell I guess.

I like the IFS solid rear setup and the possibilities for trophy truck builds. I'm curious to see how they hold up...

Shame no kits will be released.

My OMG was because even though the MT body is a little big for the Twin Hammers it got me excited thinking about when someone comes out with a proper fitting trophy truck body for this, it's going to be SICK!

I have a feeling we'll be seeing solid axle trophy trucks very soon the way manufacturer's are going scale...

I'm sure kits will be released soon enough anyway. Normally I don't buy the newest thing out but I had to order one today from RPP just for the cool factor.
