HorizonHobby.com How-To: Install Paddle Tires on the Vaterra® Glamis Uno™ and Glamis Fear

Each year, thousands of off-road extremists come together in a remote corner of southern California’s desert, known to the faithful as Glamis. Here they revel in sun, sand and the glory of horsepower as they fly across vast, windswept dunes in everything from sand rails to ATVs. But it really doesn't matter what you run. If you run at Glamis, you're part of a tribe – a tribe that knows life is best lived under open sky, at full throttle, without regrets.

Inspired by the monstrously overpowered sand rails that run the dunes of Glamis, the Vaterra ® 1/8-scale Glamis Fear comes ready to run and equipped to handle all kinds of terrain. From the composite nylon chassis and oil-filled shocks to the waterproof electronics1, the Glamis Fear™ 4-seater buggy is built to let you go off-road in the real world blasting through sand, rocks, mud or wheeling on asphalt. The Glamis Fear is designed to excel in any driving environment.

The Glamis Fear also features a unique transmission designed to withstand the rigors of serious bashing. At the center of its design is a Viscous Torque Vectoring (VTV™) differential that prevents wheel spin on loose surfaces when you're cornering hard or hammering the throttle. Its smooth actuation and consistent feel provide extra confidence over a variety of surface conditions. It is fully sealed and can be fine-tuned using different weights of silicone oil.

The Glamis Fear comes with a Spektrum 2.4GHz radio system, including a DX2L transmitter and SR200WP waterproof receiver providing interference free performance and extended range. The Dynamite 3300KVbrushless motor and 3S Li-Po compatible ESC provide enough speed and power to handle every type of terrain imaginable. As with all Vaterra vehicles, the Glamis Fear comes with all waterproof* electronics so you can drive in all weather conditions.
