They look decent quality to me, ie Twin Hammers looks SICK!!

The only thing is that the Twin Hammers is that it is only "Brushless Ready."

 

[HPIguy]

Agreed HPI-killer, I want the twin hammers if they prove to be durable.

 

[slowngreen]

Now that is a KOH style rig! Very cool.

 

[Non Crimen]

Looks a lot like the stock wraith. I like the brushless ready

It does have a remote selectable 2-speed tranny.

I'm with everyone else, Twin Hammers is pretty sweet looking.

This is what pushed it over the top for me. Yeah, I know the summit has that, but two totally different rigs though. This is the first ground RC I've really wanted in about year now, I guess I'm controlling my addicti......er, hobby fairly well.

Also, I have a decent rock pile right here at home, and some high speed stuff too, so it would be freaking perfect for me.

Very cool, it has defiantly peaked my interest.

how do you think it will compare to the wraith rock racer.

basicly same idea?

axial comes with axial radio and no battery free nimh from tower when you buy

is the axial lipo compatible????

twin hammers comes with specktrum dx3e and a lipo


both 399.00 rtr???????????????????????????????

any other thoughts

Personally not too much a fan of IFS on the front end, but it works on this one. With KOH right around the corner, they picked a perfect time to release. A forum member here, and buddy of mine, Chip Cross is actually racing KOH this year in his new 1:1 rig.

Very nice rig, I think I know what I want for my birthday.

Well crap, I didn't even notice the IFS. Meh, not nearly as pumped about it now. Needs solid axles front and rear IMO.

The wraith is LiPo comparable (only 2s i believe).

Yeah I read somewhere that they released 7 new models or were going to.

I think its kewl that its a Rock RACER not just a crawler.

But that's what the wraith is labeled as. I think the thing that sets them apart is the fact that the Twin hammer has a 3-speed transmission and is "brushless ready". Not quite sure what that is though, maybe a beefier drivetrain??

Usually just means a metal geared tranny.
