Horizon Hobby Launches Vaterra Brand

Horizon Hobby Launches Vaterra Brand

Adventure Driven – the first four releases in Horizon Hobby’s new Vaterra line of RC cars are ready to recreate the excitement of some the most thrilling outdoor motorsports events in the world. Impeccably modeled after their full-size counterparts, the Vaterra vehicles have plenty of “go” to match up with the show – featuring Dynamite power systems (including batteries, except in the case of the Glamis Uno, a charger!) and Spektrum radio equipment – that promise hours of open-air entertainment. From shift-on-the-fly transmission of the solid-axle Twin Hammers rock racer to the LiPo-powered brushless system of the sandblasting Glamis Uno dune buggy, the Vaterra line is packed full of exciting features sure to make each vehicle a hit in deserts (and backyards) everywhere.

Twin Hammers™ 1/10-Scale 4WD Rock Racer                  $399.99

RTR: VTR03000

Every year, hundreds of rock racers descend on California’s Johnson Valley to take on the world’s most grueling trails. The two toughest trails, the Jackhammer and Sledgehammer, are known as the Twin Hammers. Now you too can rock crawl and race across the desert with a single vehicle. The Twin Hammers™ rock racer lets you take on the rocks and speed across the terrain without skipping a beat. Based on a full-scale rock racer, the Twin Hammers rock racer looks and performs just like the real thing.

Glamis Uno™ 1/8-Scale 2WD Buggy                  $439.99

RTR: VTR04000

Each year thousands of off-road extremists celebrate sun, sand and the glory of horsepower in a remote corner of southern California’s sand dunes known as Glamis. This 1/8-scale buggy is inspired by the monstrously overpowered sand rails that run there and is equipped to handle all kinds of terrain. At the center of its design is a VTV™ (viscous torque vectoring) differential. This prevents wheel spin on loose surfaces when you’re cornering hard or hammering the throttle.
