American Muscle Car Anyone Can Drive! Vaterra 1972 Chevy Camaro SS V100 4WD RTR Review | RC Driver

- Sweet! More on-road RC excitement rolled into the RC Driver workshop and this street machine is the new Vaterra 1972 Chevy Camaro SS. Vaterra has licenced this iconic muscle car from Chevrolet and did it justice with some amazing scale detail. Topping off the cool muscle car replication are chrome mirrors, chrome grille, molded rear spoiler as well as front and rear LED lights. Under the beautiful body is Vaterra’s proven V100-S on-road chassis which is all-wheel drive. Yes, we know the real car is rear wheel drive, but that style of driveline isn’t as easy to wheel in RC. So the AWD driveline makes ripping around the roads super easy for anyone. The car arrives completely ready to run with electronics and the body is of course painted and detailed. All you need to do is pick up your choice of a battery and a charger!

I'm more a Tamiya/Kyosho guy (just for the scale-looking fact) but i must admit that
Vaterra has done an excellent job with that model . Superb!
Yep, know this one! I want the army green. That looks sick😎
Beautiful body on there. Love the disk brake touch.
I love on road cars I have an hpi sprint 2 flux that is pretty quick and I put the orange 69 Z28 body on it from the brushed version because I liked the classic Camaro better than the 2010 but wanted brushless power. I don't tend to drive it as often as my trucks because you have to go out and find a smooth level place to run it whereas with the trucks I can turn them loose right outside the house.
The 1971 Chevy Camaro was one of the best cars ever made in my opinion
I'm only 16 but my dad raised me right the love for American cars and racing
69
Yeah I'm kind of torn between the 69 Camaro in the 71 they're both amazing machines and you really can't beat the look of either one of them
Early second gen Camaros are by far the best looking.
I miss my 1978 Camaro. It would be nice if someone made a 1978-1981 Camaro with old-school wheels and tires-maybe Cragar SS rims instead of today’s low profile setups.
Older video but I got to say those vaterra rc's were way detailed' I wish they were around still. The suburban was a work of art
Nice split bumper camaro. I want one.
Love it, the way that guy ran that cop off the road at the end of the video and got away. I’d give it hell on them wheels.
Greg I see my comment for another video was posted on this video somehow, but I did watch this video today do to the fact that I just bought one up today on eBay brand new. Great video Greg and thanks for the info.👍
I have plenty Traxxas. Just bought the v100 c10 version
I love it
I lost it when you were like, Oh My... Look the size of the poster and try to put it behind your back it was funny great video man keep the content coming
JMO Thanks! Honestly I’m still pretty shy in front of the camera. Something I’m working on. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@rcdriver I believe you are doing this for your boys and that's where you get the courage to get things done, specially like this awesome content
I owned one of these (1971 Z28 real deal) back in the 1980's. LT1 Corvette engine with 365 hp, 4 speed Rock Crusher Muncie transmission, 4:11 posi-track rear end. Ran mid 11's in the qtr mile. If this thing can bring back some of the thrill of driving the real thing, then I'm all over it!
365hp mid 11s hmm I'd have to see that to believe
Very Nice! I will put that body on my 4tec 👍👍👍👍
Totally agree,take my word for it I bought the body for mine through protoform, 4tec is way better
I do really like this rig, the green one I might have to get, the chassis looks very similar to my TT-02 tamiya I just build
I've used a Vaterra Mustang body on my TT-01 by adding body posts to the front bumper because the V100 is just too low where I run them. Hopefully it's just as easy for you with your TT-02. You'd have more fun with that Camaro body on your TT-02 by not scraping all the time. I plan on getting the green Camaro body soon for a hot rod rally car.
Hey Stevo how fast is your tt02? Do you run on 3s at all? I put a hobbywing 3652 3300kv and 80a max 10 and I need to find a good set of tires to handle 3s and 45-50+mph. Mine spins out at 35+. Think the wheels are junk
I bought one its pretty fun and a beautiful car i got matte army green
Vaterra had great bodies.
If you upgrade the power you need to change the center drive shaft to the aluminum one. The plastic one is not a balanced part and will warp as soon as you put a brushless system in it. I never had any other problems with my v100 other than that.
Thanks for sharing your tip!
Wow. I’m surprised at the detail in this model. I’m not really into “smooth surface” vehicles, I have many crawlers, but I’m seriously interested in this one. Thx for the review. Your channel is an awesome service to those in the hobby as well as everyone looking at it. Cheers.
What happened to Vaterra?? All the other cars are gone Mustangs, Vetts , Camero brushless version and Police car Hilux ect ect been away from the site for a while and they are a shadow of what they were. Even the web site is gone. Horizon really gutted the line.
Wow that's sick!!
Hi, In your opion is this model a better value than the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 Series Musclecar edition? Talking about comparison of chassis/electronics and what you get for your money. They seem to be in same price range although the STX2 radio sucks. Thanks! 👍
Great review, thanks for sharing the info 👍
You wouldn't happen to know if you have one of the Vattera 72 camaro for sale. I'm in Dallas,Texas
Again hello from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 great video and nice cars
Awesome Camaro
Ounce again beauty
Nice, can I, buy one directly from you?
So a track near me in NH, hillside has expanded a huge amount and we're thinking of making a on road rc race track, would this be a good rc for racing?
Devon Foley nah its not adjustable at all unless you upgrade it
Vaterra hasn't changed much in the way of the chassis. I have the Mustang 67' and the chassis is exactly the same all that is different is the body shell...
Is the body on this car compatible with the chassis of the Kyosho phaser MK two?
hey man, i order mine a month ego and i can't wait to have it, you said it only take 2s?? i might have to try a 3s just to see if it will take it🤗🤗 if it can arrived for god sake lol lol
The information they give about the battery is a bit confusing. In the manual it suggests using the NiMh battery we showed. On the box the Power Stage bundle only highlights the 2S pack, but if you look at the listing for the ESC on the Horizon website it says its 2-3S compatible.
On the stock brushed motor, from a 2 cell 50c will we notice a big difference moving to a 3 cell 50c?
Have you run it on 3s yet Eric?
72 chevy camaro split bumper
Looks awesome!
That's a great looking car...what's the cost?
Hi,
Very grateful to you. Which one is more road stable, this one or the Traxxas for mustang gt?
Thank you
You said you tried a 2s lipo, Can the stock electronics handle a 3s lipo?
That spektrum radio has the worst range, first thing I would change if I get one
Hmm Ours went up the street pretty far without issue. Where you driving your cars... the next state? lol JK.
RCDriver_Online 😂 no, not far at all 😂
I like it
Great vid
Ugh I wish I could find one of those bodies 😭😭😭😭
Can Other Vaterra Car Bodies Fit On The 72 Chevy Vaterra Chassis ?
I’m wanting to get my first 4x4 RC car. I want an off-road. I have the Grave Digger 30th Anniversary 2wd. I have updated it to vxl system. But I am wanting something new. Is there anything from any company you would recommend?
What style are u looking for, id recommend arrma senton or granite blx
I've been looking at those since Horizon Hobby debuted them some months ago .. it's one of Three that I have been debating on..
1. Ken Block Hoonicorn Mustang by HPI
2. Lotus Exige V6 Cup R by
CARISMA RC
3. This Camero 1972 with light's by Vatera
All have peaked my interest, but reviews are very important .. the HPI Brand has parts every where and was awesome back when I carpet raced .. the Carisma is new to me and parts might be a little harder to find .. and the Vatera has alot of Brand Power in the parts area .. so whichever one I end up getting will have to be able to upgrade and work on.. what's your opinion???
Thanks for the review and I'm hoping for your support on my channel as well ✌️😎👍 HFLPRCING
Well, you pretty much nailed it. HPI is a great brand. Vaterra is too with great support. Unfortunately we don't have experience with the Carisma, but it does look interesting!
@@rcdriver Yeah the Carisma brand was more slot car sets even when I was a younger child (I don't wanna grow up..lol) I had a Carisma 1/24 HO slot car set .. not really known for Hobby Grade RC's until the Coyote Scaler was introduced in the USA
Go for the Camaro! It is amazing...
@@tommywong3291 I agree the Vatera has everything but oil filled shocks 👍
I have the HPI Hoonicorn, great chasis, details in the body are SPOT ON. The NiMh battery....sucks...but you can easily run a lipo. I run a 5000mah 2s and will get a good 20-25min of run time on it.
I bought a vattera but I immediately regret it since it cannot handle more than 50+mph with the plastic driveshafts it just breaks and the shocks are not oil filled, the chassis is harder to work on compared to my mad-speed, and my Tamiya builds, and this is way to expensive! Is more than $225?!? Mad-speed cost 115 and has a decent body but solid chassis with way better parts and quality. Also some parts are hard to get Because some of them are discontinued. So far it broke the most. But i can see people buy it cuse the body looks sick, but man i drove it alot since it was my first rc and its a pain compared to my newer ones
I bought this thinking it came with a battery
You're not missing much as the once factory supplied battery is low capacity crap anyways. For the price, the cars should come with at least a 5000mAh. I give away those crap 1800mAhs to the nitro starter or airsoft users.
Split bumper on a non RS! Why would they do that?!?!
👍 🙂 nice
Is the Vaterra v100 better than the kyosho fazer mk2?
Looks like the car needs that lipo power to actually get it to drift
What is its speed
He says in the video. 25mph
Does it have metal diffs and gears
What is the specs on your test run battery? Lipo?
Where did you get this RC
Horizon Hobby
👍awesome
Can I upgrade to drifting??
Drift carrrr
But they are so sllooooooowwwww
Any Corvettes out there?
That's pretty slow in the RC car world. Being a muscle car...they should have made an effort to provide faster speeds then that.
Kyosho Fazer MK2 1969 Camero is better
The 69 Camaro was the last decent one. I never liked the split-bumper front end.
Scale as shit
Definitely should of been a '68
