I finally got my Twin Hammers box today! It's a nice box.

Quick notes:
Dimensions - 20"x13"x9-1/2"
Weight - 10 lbs. 1oz.
Make - Vaterra
Color - Green, white and orange
Theme - Black and green truck

Initial impressions:
The box was a lot smaller than I expected for the price. I guess $400 only gets you a 20" long box these days. I remember when $300 would get you a 24" box. Anyway, the lack of box size was made up with the awesome angled end. Now that is rare in a box! I love this box! And the weight? Over 10 pounds! That is a hefty box let me tell you. I was shocked at how they could get this much weight into this size of a box. Better value than an SCX10 box I think. Also, there is no lack of content on this box. Trucks, people, green, and so on.

Here are some pictures.

I can't get enough of that angle!

Comparison of the Twin Hammers next to an SCX10. The Twin Hammers has a higher center of gravity than the SCX10. That kinda worries me. It does have a wider stance though. I still might have to lower it.

I know it's early, but this might be the best box of the year. I can't wait to take it outside!

Those were the days huh?

Is that one of your awesome scale cats on the shelf back there?

DJSCX10 · 02-15-2013, 12:52 PM

Let us know how the box does compared to that of the Axial box!

Vertec · 02-15-2013, 01:03 PM

What's the plans for future mods? Upgrade staples, glue or tape?

I think it will be ok since it is more aerodynamic than the Dingo. Much better stylistic cues IMO.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 02-15-2013, 01:50 PM

id say that box was a packers fan too....

northernerbill · 02-15-2013, 02:03 PM

Can you verify that its waterproof? It looks splash proof.

tklatti · 02-15-2013, 02:04 PM

Weres the required flex shot?

So far it's handling better.

I'm going to keep it simple. Maybe some tape and paint. I want to keep it a fun and dependable box.

Yeah, I might add a spare box to the back of the box.

I'm not sure about the boxes sexual orientation so I have no comment.

I took it outside for a shakedown run.

Rolled it. Luckily there was no damage.

I am wondering what you are going to come up with, as far as a yota body on that.

What ever you do it will be badass.

I've read that it's water resistant. It was snowing and there was no damage to report. I wouldn't recommend submerging it in water for very long though.

SubyJeff · 02-15-2013, 02:10 PM

notmanywords · 02-15-2013, 02:11 PM

Wow after the week I had at work, seeing this put a good smile on my face good job I really like the amount of flex it has

How sick is 0:38!? thats crazy how you got that angle. Looks like a 1:1 box!

hotwheels000 · 02-15-2013, 02:18 PM

LMAO

So will that box need a BEC or will the super stylish angled box compensate for the need for a funtioning unit ?
