Default RE: twinhammers, I want this! Vaterra RC New Brand!


ORIGINAL: t9dragon

I own and Wraith and it is a blast to drive, I also own the EXO but haven't driven it since I finished building it 8 months ago. But this does look like a cross between the Wraith and EXO and for I don't think it is worth $400 with a brushed setup, maybe if it was brushless I could see maybe $400. But I do like the fact it has a 2-speed, I wonder how it will hold up with a brushless setup.
why not worth $400? Thats about what the wraith costs, and its brushed. And this has a spektrum 3ch radio.

Info on the site claims its brushless ready. As with anything new, only time will tell.

And just to add, comes with a locked rear diff and gear diff up front.

I think it may do 65% of the crawling a stock wraith can do, but be faster due to the top speed and handle decent as well. Its a nice cross, all-around basher if you ask me.

This new company has a nice lineup coming out. Most isnt as impressive as the twin hammer, but each has some aspect with stands out.


Seems like many models are aiming at the $400 mark lately.
