The Vaterra Twin Hammers is one gutsy rock crawler. Named after the off-road trail in California's Johnson Valley, the Twin Hammers is an unstoppable RC machine.
Mike was able to preview the Twin Hammers in a video on Modelflight's YouTube channel. You can watch this video below:

As Mike describes, one of the key features fo the Vaterra Twin Hammers is its 4-link rear suspension. This enables you to clamber over rocky obstacles without any difficulty.

It is called the Blade (what other name did
