Badger's Vaterra Twin Hammers 1.9 Rock Racer

[NorCal 2500HD]

At least the pictures came out better then I thought they did. Thats a fun little rig. My only gripe is the location of the switch for the shifting. I have big hands and it was still kind of awkward. Other then that, on 3s its going to be a beast.

How many screw are used to hold the cage to the chassis?
I love my Exo but HATE working on it because of the cage

Around 10, and easy to get it off.

Would you at all be kind enough to take some pictures of it next to a standard size crawler(if you have one to hand) I have no idea how big your SC truck was so didn't help me to get an idea of size sorry.
Even better if you had say an exo terra to compare to

[yoda@4x4]

If I am wrong any one can chime in but I belive the reson they are not taking pic's of it next to any one's axial or other crawlers is this has not been released yet and they do not want to make any one mad, Badger took a pic next to a losi SCT 1/10 race truck and Losi is who is making this or supporting it so that they dont get a ear full...

[binaryterror]

Losi and Vaterra are owned by Horizon.

Hobbico owns Axial.

Hobbico and Horizon are big time competitors, maybe it has been Vaterra/Horizons wishes these early models not be compared directly. I mean if you got a test truck early you'd probably listen to the nice people who allowed that to happen no?

Makes sense!

Is the locker in the rear axles metal Or plastic like i think ? There seems to be a metal hop-up.

Thank you, that thing looks plenty beefy. Hopefully we will have another axle on the market that is reliable.

Thanks again man,

Nice looking rig! But the rear links mounts remind me of those weak X-Factor axles, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

[ebay007]

this is such a beast!!!

id really want a kit version.
interesting how much will a kit cost. if the RTR is 400$, then i think that a kit will be 300$-250$?

Just currious about how and what class this would fit into. It has a pan rather than a tube chassis or rail chassis. The LHS already has the first one set aside for me so its not a question on if I want one. Just not sure what awaits in the rules and class info for this rig.

Not yet, I will be working on one over the weekend.

[XSRCdesign]

well, I can scrap one of my current projects and put my mini trophy back together now...

Rubba wasnt it you that made that little ifs 1.9 buggy back when? proof of concept?

I hope a kit comes soon. I know this is a great RTR setup, and I will probably get one, but the wheels are already spinning in my head on progects I could use these parts for


Pretty stoked to see something like this released, I cant wait to get my hands on one!

[Fingonunny]

RBGerrish made one in 2010...? That looks remarkable similar to this.....

New Brand from Horizon coming tomorrow! - Page 2 - Oregon R/C Rock Crawlers

The more I look, the more I want.

I know this is a hybrid and all but I would like to know how good of a crawler it really is. I realize its not a comp crawling or anything but I hope it's capable of a challenge

[braceysdad]

Yo badginator, just curious as to how the size compares to a mini trophy truck? I wonder if the body is close to fitting?

I am pretty sure the target audience for these rigs could give a shit about class rules. Instead of stressing out about tube fenders, tire heights, full interiors, etc... This market will have a grin from ear to ear driving, slapping high fives, and having a blast. Great rig for sure.

Total new experience. Think of the differences in WE Rock comps versus KOH. Both can crawl, but different intentions.
