Vaterra Revs Up the Twin Hammers with a New Desert Truck Body

By: Tim Gluth

In the land of scale RC, nobody has been doing it better than Vaterra.  With a number of off-road and on-road vehicles in their lineup, they have taken a unique approach to the radio-controlled car hobby by focusing on durable overall chassis and body construction as well as fine-tuning some of the smaller details that you'd expect to find on a 1:1 vehicle.

Their latest ready-to-run (RTR) model isn't entirely new, but it's a nice evolution of their Twin Hammers off-road racer.  The 2015 version (Twin Hammers DT 1.9 RTR) sports a desert truck body and LED light bar that will let you keep on truckin' long after the sun sets.
