Slammed Sweetness: The Vaterra 1972 Chevy C10 4WD Pickup
Vaterra has been relatively quiet on the "new model" front, but their BND Ascender release late last year sparked hope for more new models. Balancing out that off-road release is a new on-road machine, the 1972 Chevy C10 Pickup Truck.
This 1/10-scale, ready-to-run (RTR) machine uses Vaterra's V-100S chassis and features amazing details from bumper to bumper. While very similar to their previously-released '72 Chevy C10 model, the 2018 version features integrated LED headlights (and a slightly lower price).
If you're familiar with Vaterra's other on-road models, the V-100S chassis won't hold many surprises. This four-wheel drive platform includes waterproof/water resistant electronics and a 2.4GHz radio system, putting fun and control in focus.
