Glad I wasn't the only one with that extra pin after the transmission build😆
It's so refreshing to see a review that is not all praise, but an honest review of the pros and cons of the rig, as you've always done.
I'm super excited for this release and if it hadn't been for the portals, I would've probably already ordered one.
I'm on the fence to see what you make of it from here and see how it progresses.
That's the best looking build of all the VX4-10s I've seen on RUclips so far
Thank you! I felt less was more on this truck
That’s pretty quick! Ha. Can’t wait to get one of these.
Yeah I ordered it on the release day and built it ASAP. I liked the features!
Thank you Appropriate your videos REALLY wanted to start flying rc helicopters, but because of you and this CHANNEL going to go with rc crawler s🎉🎉🎉
I had the same issue during the build. I had a 10mm pin left over from the transmission bag. I remembered I had two 8mm pins and two 10mm pins. So after finishing the transmission, I had to check the instructions about five time to make sure I didn't miss a 10mm pin.
Joe Ropes rock.
Like always mate you give all us guys a good walk through your trails and honesty of the products you are using. Can't wait to see what's next 🤘
Thanks dude, glad you are liking the content. Always something to test in the RC garage! Already got a big change on the comp truck coming soon
Just finished mine tonight. Hopefully get to try her out tomorrow 😎
I think this is a great trail truck. It has way cool features for crawling but it's not really what I would call a great crawler. Maybe take the guts and stick them in a lcg kit with a Power Wagon body.
Still building mine and so far every video has been positive about this truck.
Yeah they drive great I’m sure you’ll like yours
Love this new kit, but I just got the early bronco, so I’m gonna have to wait a while and this one. Love the paint scheme looks awesome specially with those bronze Rims, appreciate your sharing I’ll be following for more I love it specially this place you have to go crawling outstanding rock on
Kudos to Vanquish 👍 With time and support, this truck is going to be a beast! Another awesome review!
Thanks! Yeah I certainly like what they came up with
One of these days you really need to take a mini crawler out there they’re really fun!
i love the paint job. i just built a scx10.3 wrangler i painted it white. i think vanquish was directly gunning for the scx10.3 with this new truck. beautiful paint job im painting mine the same way when i get one next year. as im watching you crawl it looks like the twist is bout the same as the 10.3
Thanks man! The 10.3 is a great truck. Definitely targeting the 10.3 market with this release. You’ll like the Phoenix when you get it. 10.3 definitely flexes more.
Awesome vid and first run! Great job on the build and looking forward to seeing more of it!
Thank you!
Nice video, cool to hear your thoughts, I got mine a few days ago but still have to set up my workspace, we moved a few weeks ago and I didn't expect as fast delivery as I got so I thought I'd have time to get my tools in order.
I can't wait to try it where I live, we don't have that velcro like rocks that you do but we still have some nice terrain that should challenge the truck and maybe even me as driver :)
An outstanding looking truck right there.
Nicely done, thanks for sharing!
I’m liking this rig for sure man. Unfortunately with everything going on I can’t buy any more rigs in fact I can’t even find time to wheel what I already have but thanks for the cool footage! 🇺🇸
That truck is vintage sick too man 😆👍🏻
Crawling perfect, nice video and place, love watching…
For down low weight vanquish makes brass inner rings for those wheels and brass hubs as well... great video as always appreciate your honest reviews 👍🏾
Yes sir! I’ve done some shopping. Got some brass hubs but I might just stick wheel weights to the inner rings
First touchdown. Footprints in the sand. . Awesome truck
I am liking it a lot so far. Definitely tuning to come
I just ordered mine.
Very cool video.
Amazing location with some superb driving. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Can't wait 2 go ther n ride✌🌍🇺🇲
Wow you did an amazing job on this truck man it looks awesome and the wheels are 🔥
Thanks dude, I appreciate that. Got a few more bits to hopefully set it off but I’m liking it so far
Awesome crawling 👍👏 thanks for sharing
Awesome rig, and great choice of wheel and tires....looks great!!
Thank you
Sweet build, I'm digging it 🤘🔥
Thanks man!
Can't wait to see some crawling. Mine is in the mail still.
Nice! It seems like a ton of guys picked one up
It looks awesome I got the body
Impressive crawling shot for the premier
I've Been tempted by this rig, but I still want to get he Axial 10.3 Bronce first. Plus I've got a TGH sherpa and A Banggood TFL bronco in the mail so I've got my hands full a the moment. looking forward to seeing more running vidoe's of this. your paint job looks sweet.
Thanks! Yeah I’ve got too many projects going on now too haha
Looks like a solid rig. Can't wait to see your permanent power plant in this.
Yes, Roc412 is on the way!
Beautiful truck! Great vid.
Thank you!
Cool. It looks like nice RC.
It definitely is. The unique features is really what sold me on it
yessssssssssssss
Nicely done! Great to see more of these out in the wild!
Thank you, I really like how it turned out. Got a few more changes and it’s done
3:30 are we all just going to pretend we don't see the skull in the rock!? Such a sick place to wheel man!!!!
Haha that’s pretty funny! Maybe I’ll name it dead mans turn since I always roll there anyway
@@westdesertwheeler2666 dudeee that's perfect lol!
Great to see the truck in action. Really been looking g hard at getting a vanquish. Do you think this o e is just as capable as the pro or should I just stay with my trx4 2021 bronco?
Yeah slower the better when it comes to crawling, my favorite super slow crawl
So do you perfer the bfg tires over hyrax for the terrain you run on i love tires and for some reason these tires have never really appealed to me and im not sure why i think i need a set. Also this truck i want it asap when do you think it would be available?
It's a fairly smooth rc.
If you add more weight to the tires, I think it will climb rocks better.
It's a very interesting rc.
I had a good time.
Subscribe and like.😄😄😄
Thank you! Yes some weight down low will help
Great review!!! Lots of feedback. I noticed the lack of articulation in the video too, did you work out why? Also, you mentioned the gatekeeper, which did you find crawled better, this one or the gatekeeper?
Killer vid and rig Logan your really tempting me lol not sure if I should go with this or the scx6 next
Funny how many are torn on that choice. Both are really fun but I feel like it’s a much different question than this or that. Like, what size truck do I want haha
@@westdesertwheeler2666 big boy ive got plenty 1/10
What type of steer servo would you recommend for a truck this size? Thank tou
Logan, do you still have the Phoenix Portal? What are your thoughts on it?
Trying to decide between the Phoenix or an Ecto. I just built a nice Gatekeeper so I’m leaning Phoenix, maybe even straight axle version.
Curious if you still like yours.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING AND HEARING WHAT YOU THINK OF THE NEW TRUCK LOGON SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇸🕊️✌️👍
Thanks for tuning in Mike! I always appreciate your support man
Did you put 180 or 270 degree servos for the overdrive and dig
How are you liking it? I am ordering one this week. Do you know if a hobbywing 550 will fit?
With the straight axle version.. Would you recommend the HW2300kv VS the 2800kv?
Nice video as always I always find myself jealous of the terrain that you get to use Did you smash your left thumb? If that’s not just shadow of course
Lol my left thumb still had paint on it from painting the truck. I took it out the next day
Can anyone provide details if SSD wheels will work with the Vanquish hexes / shafts, specifically the Contenders?
Thank you for any help
I did my capra trans 4 times ..do not build while drinking lol
Haha I feel ya man. This transmission has many layers to it and multiple times building and tearing down gets old. However I’m very familiar with what to do now.
@@westdesertwheeler2666 me too I could do mine blindfolded lol
Cool stuff... I like the white, super clean look. Are you running the kit supplied shock oil ? Looks like it needs a heavier weight to alleviate that bit of torque twist and weight transfer. Which is typical of also what the pro and ultra needed..Plus as you also mentioned maybe some front brake weights
The tuning is all part of the fun. Looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers mate 👍
Yes I did use the kit oil. I have some 50w on hand I’ll try that out
what motor/kv/esc are you using on this?
😁😁👍👍
nice)
What shock oil Weight do you go with, in my early bronco I went with 45 weight in the front and 80 wait in the back seems to work pretty good, that’s with SSD pro scale shocks 90 mm performs really great now Harley any torque twist
I started with kit oil. I think I’ll jump to 50w on all 4 and see how it reacts. Thanks for watching and commenting man 🤙🏼
Hey..what type of paint are u using?
Great video, Just might have to get myself one. Did you have any issues with getting the 540L motor in ?
Nope it’s a direct fit
What size tires? 120mm OD?
Great video! Awesome to see some real world performance! Awesome job on the paint and interior! Where is this filmed?
Sand Hollow in southern Utah
@@westdesertwheeler2666 nice! I live in Salt Lake. May have to head down there once I get mine built. I follow you on Instagram, I’ll shoot’s you a message when we plan to head down and maybe we can do some crawling.
If only we could get these in the Uk. 🙈
No international shipping? I thought I’d seen people overseas with them
@@westdesertwheeler2666 currently there isn’t anyone selling them as far as I can see. 🥲
I’ll have to get over myself as I’m not a Vanquish anything fan…but I do like the functionality of the new trans…
Great video
100% that’s what got me to buy this one
The trans is where it's at. 2wd front, 2wd rear, 6% od, 23% of and dig. Really innovative
Have you had any issues with the Axe system not having enough internal BEC? That's my favorite system in all my crawlers but I'm not sure if 7.4v is enough
No they seem great to me. Servos are plenty strong and don’t bog the system
@@westdesertwheeler2666 that's just what I wanted to hear. Thank you!
What steering + other servo's did you go with here? Also, awesome job on the build! Super fun to watch!
Hobbywing and savox in this video but Tekin stuff on the way
@@westdesertwheeler2666 Ha - Just got to the 12:58 mark and heard the electronic layout. Tekin is so dang expensive, interested to see how you like it.
how do you feel about locking diffs? im debating on locking my diffs in my scx10iii would love someone to make a deep video on this subject.
The diffs are are already locked with a spool... on this and the scx10iii.
Not sure what you're asking?
Cheers 👍
@@mickd8188 holy shit im an idiot sorry i could have sworn these were limited slip, i just flipped it over when i read your reply and tested it! lmao. sorry new truck.
@@ed0c that's alright mate... it wasn't an exam or anything..lol.
Trx4 have a locking /unlocking centre on everything apart from the sport, but most all others are locked until you get into the Ryft and Axial monster trucks etc..
Cheers 👍
Well as you now know they are locked. Which is great. I prefer a fully locked up truck for what I do.
Cool video, and your rig looks great.....u have any issues with the clicking from the transmission people have complained about?
Not really. Sometimes if I shift I have to let off for a second to let it complete the shift then it’s quiet again
Exocaged rc just said in a new video he found it, one of the top gears in the transmission needs a shim
@@westdesertwheeler2666 right on!
@@rcbashnz3096 hopefully he'll do a video
So channel 4- 6% 4WD, RWD, 33% 4WD. The 3- dig on/off??
Yep that’s my setup
Did you paint that?
Yep
Looks so sick man 👍
Love that it's unavailable
What is unavailable?
It needs a driver, looks odd empty inside lol
That’s not really my style man.
Lol omnicron is vintage
Didn't watch the whole video didn't care much for the language being used not appropriate for Well anybody
