Vaterra has entered the rock crawling market with their mighty mini monster, the 1/18 scale Slickrock.

The Slickrock features a full-time 4WD system that uses a multi-link system to claw its way over obstacles. Vaterra has added a waterproof, 1/10 scale servo to help reliability and keep the tires pointed in the right direction.
