Vaterra Twin Hammers 1.9 Rock Racer video

Here's my video of drifting, jumping, trail ride/crawling my Twin Hammers 1.9 Rock Racer. I posted this in my build thread already but it should be in the scale video section as well.

Great video man, where are those places?

Damm, you beat that thing pretty good. Did you end the day without breaking anything?

The footage in the video was all done at a local place in Belmont on a hill side behind Carlmont high school.

Here's my post with some pics of the place.

One of the plastic rear wheel hex's stripped and the front top plate (vtr231014) broke near the end of getting the 3+ hours of footage for the video. We also stripped out the plastic gears in the transmission while doing a large gap jump and in the air Brian hit reverse on the throttle. The problem is that I still have my Tekin RS ESC programmed in "BL-F/R : Brushless motor (forward to immediate reverse (recommended for rock crawlers ONLY)" crawler mode, this is NOT recommended for a go fast RC as it can do damage to the drivetrain. If the ESC was programmed in "BL-DL: Brushless motor forward with reverse delay. Both forward and reverse are enabled, with a delay going from forward to reverse. This is the safest for your transmission if you wish to have reverse." then we would not have stripped any gears in the transmission.

We truly beat the piss out of this rig and I was amazed in how durable it is. "thumbsup"
