Full details on the truggy should be released soon, until then take a look at the brief video to view all the pieces and parts that make up the DEX408T.

Unboxing The Vaterra Kalahari 14th Scale 4wd Desert Raider

Tim Mohr — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 04:22:05 +0000

We showed you unboxing pictures of the new Vaterra Kemora yesterday, today we are posting unboxing pictures of the Vaterra Kalahari. The Kalahari is much like the Kemora because it sits on the same 14th scale Vaterra platform, but differs with its larger tires and desert style body.

Like the Kemora, the Kalahari body is exceptionally well done. You can tell a lot of time was spent making sure it looks just as good as its full scale counterpart. Under the hood is the shaft driven 4wd system and Dynamite brushless set-up. The Ni-MH battery is easily accessed by removing the under-tray, which is attached by velcro, and two body clips on the battery bar.

Our full review for the Kalahari will go up next week, until then, click the “read more” button to see all 4 of our Kalahari unboxing galleries. Check out THIS link for more Vaterra news right here on BigSquidRC.

Unboxing The Vaterra Kemora 14th Scale 4wd RallyCross

Tim Mohr — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:23:12 +0000

Here they are, the very first unboxing pictures that we’ve ever done on a Vaterra. This is the new Vaterra Kemora, their 14th scale, 4wd, brushless rally car, and we have a bunch of pictures to give you a better idea of what’s inside the box.

To start off with, of course there is the car itself. The Kemora blows you away with its immaculate body. From the lines of the body, to its rear view mirrors, to its trick looking wing, it is very impressive and scale looking. The wheels and tires also impress, they look very scale and are specific to just this model.

Under the hood you find an under-tray with a molded driver figure, this is attached by velcro and easily removed for access to the battery compartment. The chassis is quite stiff front to rear, but has some flex side-to-side. Other plastic parts like the a-arms and shock towers also seem fairly stiff for RTR units.

Our full review for the Kemora will go up later this week, until then, click the “read more” button below to see a bunch more unboxing pictures of the Kemora. Check out THIS link for more Vaterra news right here on BigSquidRC.

Traxxas Nitro Slash Unboxing Pictures

Brian — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 05:35:26 +0000

Our own 3DBill stopped by the Hobby Town in Orland Park, IL. and snapped a few pictures of the new Traxxas Nitro Slash. First impressions were decent, though he’s not a nitro guy at all. Apparently he’s waiting for a gas version. I don’t suggest holding your breath on that one. I’m not so sure I like the looks of that battery box hanging out back there. The way we play demo derby, I hope that thing is bullet proof.

Enjoy the pics.
