Vaterra is filling the garage with a wide range of exotic super cars in RC form of course. The newest car to hit the street in their fleet is the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray based on the V100-S chassis. Now when the kit arrived, it instantly drew us in to wanting to go out and drive with its stunning detail and perfect body lines. The body is two pieces so the Vaterra crew could pack in the details and the body is finished off in a eye catching charcoal grey. The mirrors match the paint scheme perfectly and there is even faux exhaust tips out back. Then adding to the detail are the split spoke rims with silver satin finish wrapped in soft rubber tires for excellent traction. The chassis is a sturdy platform that we’ve seen on Vaterra’s other on-road offerings with a shaft driven drivetrain, gear differentials and composite universal driveshafts. The independent suspension is simple and durable and damped by friction type shocks. This appears to be another great, no hassle, just drive and have fun car. But what sets it over the top is the complete RTR package that includes waterproof electronics. We can’t wait to take the car out for a spin after a light rain.
