Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Just unboxed it without video :ror:

First I would like to thank Horizon/Vaterra/Losi for the opportunity to test and give feedback during the prototype stage. There was about a dozen Twin Hammers floating around the World all with great reviews from the Pilots. Now it's alive and out for the masses to enjoy :afro:


I've had 2 years with this badass Rock Racer during the testing stages. Jumping, bashing, crawling and launching it over things was my objective.

Being into R/C for 26+ years this was the one rig that never disappointed me ever pack I ran. With a Locked rear diff you can tear up the grass in the yard or speed up some insane climbs with ease. The smiles and laughter never faded away, they just got more intense :shock:"thumbsup"

Once I start tearing this up I'll post some of the things I've changed. It's been a while since I've ran it stock so starting from the RTR platform is exciting 8). I've played with many different shock springs, oil and locations so tuning it to a variety of terrain was a great experience to have.

So... here's the only pic I have so far chillin' on the BBQ waiting to dump some packs.

Looking good thanks for the post.

looks like mine:ror:

Hi.
Approximate...what is the expected running time (Out of the box)?

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

That is largely dependent on your trigger finger

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

I'm keen to know what motors you experimented with, in particular 4 poles......

"thumbsup"
But mine has a crooked green line :ror:
If your out putt'n around maybe 30 minutes. High speed bashing about 15

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Only ran a VXL on 3s. Geared it down to a 26 tooth (28 is stock)

The gearbox and Diffs can handle more power but it's too fast to drive straight. I'll try the swaybars when they come out, this should really help keep it stable at high speeds.

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

I know ... but as a boy I had a Tamiya car which could only be run for 6-7 minutes ... it was not fun. :cry:
So it's just whether I should expect 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes driving time?

I use 2200mah lipos in my scx10's and get like 2hrs per pack with my light trigger finger.

I'd bet if you run it as purely a low gear crawler and id bet you'd get 50+ mins.

Run it as a high gear trophy truck baja-ing around the yard and get 15 mins :)

Subscribed....Looking forward to hear how it does crawling.

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

ON the rocks? Those traxxas systems kinda suck with out any drag.

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Good to know, I have a few pro4 's but I might even get a ROC to try out. Luv the Tekin stuff.

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

I went over the rocks :twisted:.

VXL sucks for crawling, none sensored POS that cogs bad. But it's fast on 3s!

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Break anything yet?

Thanks, in so curious about this rig.
Wraith or twin hammers?
Help me decide.

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Still running it stock so not yet. I broke a front arm slamming it into a 4x4 post a while back. That was COORS fault not mine :mrgreen:

Re: Rubba's Vaterra Twin Hammer
 

Think we can hand the power of the Pro4 on 3s?

Twin Hammers hand down is the way to go.
As long as it's 540 size. Others tested the Twin Hammers on a 8000kv motor on 2s :shock:. That's freaking fast..... too fast!
