New line from Horizon Hobby - Vaterra

Re: New line from Horizon Hobby

I wonder what made them go 1.9 with it.

The most popular scale market to date has been the 1.9 size. Seems like an easy call if that's the market you are attacking.

Rear Axle looks like a LCC, very small diff - can't be worm drive though.

it is small, but per the parts listing its ring and pinion.

That thing should tear it up in the 1.9" G6 class.

Re: NEW Vaterra Twin Hammers Discussion

Interesting!! I love that floating rear end! Im a little curious, since Horizon Hobbies owns Axial, why they did'nt release it under the Axial name? This thing has Axial written all over it.

as soon as someone mass produces a A arm/ Axle shock mount, I see a great build platform. ;-)

Horizon Hobbies, does not own Axial.

Hobbico owns Axial.

completely different.

Excited about seeing this one. Hopfully it holds up well."thumbsup"

Yep Hobbico owns Axial, which is a Great Planes Model Distributors brand. So Horizon can't get their hands on Axial.

I agree. This could be a great platform, with the front end, skid, and rear links already done. Very similar to how the Wraith custom builds start (only using the axles, skid, links). It also says brushless ready driveline as well.

This could be a fun little basher.

Re: New line from Horizon Hobby

just looking at this now. looks great. i think it could open another class of rock racers.

rear axle looks awesome. would love a front axle that smooth thoguh! where is their scaler?

love the lay down front shocks.

love the sealed RX, but how do i plug in a different servo? rear the whole RX apart?

This thing has been designed and prototypes in the hands of a few for something like 2 years.

those are servo extenders coming out of the sealed case.
Production version of the diy method.

The rx has pigtails sticking out, that makes it "water resistant" instead of putting it in a box.

I would love to see the BND version, no need for that radio. Looks great.

Re: New line from Horizon Hobby

Looks pretty cool. Hopefully it will be somewhat durable without having to upgrade every single part right from the start.
