Carisma Crawl-maro [READER’S RIDE]

Reader’s Rides is sponsored by PRO-LINE. Click for the latest gear! Shaun Bullington’s “Crawl-maro” started life as a Carisma SCA-1E Coyote, but now wears a Vaterra ’69 Camaro body that he dirtied up and weathered with custom paint, and added a set of homemade Enderle-style fuel injection stacks. The rims are RC4WD wagon wheels wrapped […]

This Weather-Beaten Trail Bug is a Vaterra Twin Hammers [READER’S RIDE]

Ronald Martin’s bug-bodied Twin Hammers is a perfect reminder of how modest beginnings can lead to great results.

He modified the suspension with Axial SCX10 upright shock mounts in front, and relocated the battery […]

Vaterra Twin Hammers Trail Truck [READER’S RIDE]

The Vaterra is nominally a desert truck, but Jason Hope’s Twin Hammers spends plenty of time getting muddy on mountain trails near his Pacifica, Callifornia home. The muck looks at home on the Pro-Line ’72 Chevy C10 body done in a rusty beater truck motif by Jason himself. He selected upsized Interco Super Swampers from […]

Vaterra Twin Hammers Scuderia Special by Karel de Koning [Readers Ride]

Karel de Koning, of Oud-Beijerland, Netherlands, picked an unusual theme for his Vaterra Twin Hammers Rock Racer, but his attention to detail on the subtle but extensive custom work makes it an impressive achievement.
