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. Metal front, center and rear lockers are standard equipment, and Vaterra has loaded the Slickrock up with a set of licensed 1.9 Interco Super Swamper tires for maximum traction.
