I don't know what I am most impressed with. The truck, the terrain, or the photography. All were outstanding. The truck is definitely the star. I'm looking forward to seeing more .
It pained me to watch this truck tumble down those rocks but it really shows the durability of this rig… and I am not sure if anyone else has said anything but I can see the hard work that you put into your content and I for one love and appreciate it.. keep it up my friend
One of your best videos to date, the scenery, the new truck release and the torture test it was put to one the trail one handed too. This definitely shows the hard work in designing and engineering a new truck but also the durability of really vanquish products. Some of those tumbles had me cringe and some of the climbs amazing.
Okay Josh, I LOVE the fact that you guys named this truck after a beautiful Sierra Nevada lake. I go camping up there with my father every year in June. I love the California Easter eggs. Love the Vanquish family!
New level video! I am so happy as a classic truck body fan the details on the door, windshield and grill. So much scale potential and to add more classic touches! A builders and trail guys dream!
A pleasant mixture of an advertisement and a nice day out walking in the outdoors. I do also believe I have some understand the personal enjoyment of completing the task you set yourself to climb that trail under the “ rules “ you self imposed on the day. A great video, thank you and your partner for the effort required in filming.
Thanks Josh for throwing your creativity behind this project. While your main focus may be mostly on rc, your ethics, passion, consistency and the time you take to explain the details of the hobby are a great example for other industries. You have a gift and you are giving it everything. I watch all your content except the 1 to 2 hour plus stuff(only because I don’t get those kind of windows of time). My favourite segment of your is the scale news update. I’m building up slowly in the rc hobby myself and it is fun and greatly enriches my life. So much to learn.
That's one of my favorite trails, you should try the lower lock Haven hiking trail in Cisco grove. That's 8 miles of non stop crawling. Awesome truck that vanquish makes.
Absolutely fantastic! I started the video on my phone at lunch. Waited to get home to watch it in the big screen with the wife. Great video and very impressive RTR rig. ❤👏👏👍👍
I absolutely loved the trail footage. I did something similar in Ireland with the trail that climbs the Dublin Mountains in Ticknock, without touching the car, up and down. And yes, it ended up being a whole new level of RC experience.
This was an impressive video that truck looks great. Being is shares the VFD from the vs-410 pro I think the first thing I will do to mine is the rear portal swap. I seen many spots in this video that the rear portal would have helped out in a big way for the performance of this truck. The pro chassis with a rear portal axle is my all time favorite build I can’t this one being bad with that mod done to it.
I've put 9 of your trucks together now. Trying to recommend an RTR for a buddy. Quick question, where are your trucks being assembled? This still matters to some people, number one reason I like your trucks is that they are made in the US.
What an awesome little truck the beating that it literally took I don't think there's another RTR that could do that with exception of maybe the Phoenix. Amazing work guys
A great release and something that was needed to fill the gap in the Phoenix RTR line. Might have to add one to the fleet this Christmas. Can't wait for a clear version of that body to be available!
Dang. Why didn’t I see this video earlier?! Can’t believed I missed it. Ended up buying a scx10.3 BC builders kit and got it decently decked out with good electronics. Would have saved a ton of money if I got this rtr instead and could have taken my time with upgrades. This or the redcat ascent fusion will be my next rig I go for, for sure! Great video and love the scenery! And that little fordyce accomplished a very impressive feat with you manning the wheel one handed for sure 👍🏻.
At first I was like dam that’s a lot of money for a crawl rig; but after watching it tumble down the mountain time after time again, I’m really impressed
I said I would never buy another RTR, but that was before Vanquish got into the game. The 3 Amigos in my garage, ( VS4-10 Ultra, VS4-10 Phoenix Ground Fox, VRD Pro) may have to make room for a new little buddy in 2024. Love the look of this one also, Vanquish really expanded its reach this year, well done. What an incredible trail, California is a truly amazing state for geographical diversity.
Once again, it’s a fantastic looking as well as performing truck. I love the will-us vibe looking body as well as keeping the standard vanquish lighting on it bringing it into modern times. Job well done!
Excellent video Josh. Yes, you certainly took the challenging lines up Catfish. Love my past Catfish runs with the Donner Party Crawler peps. Both my Pro and Phoenix have made it; but, that was always with a touch or two...and many body scrapes. LOL
Patina! Looks like a great release. I was going to build a straight axle Phoenix as my winter project. Might still do that, as I prefer to Yota cab. But if this comes in a kit someday it looks like it has possibilities.
I have been on the fence in regard to purchasing a Vanquish rig. Am surprised Vanquish has not and have been waiting for a vehicle offered with a "mullet" setup. I have faith you will make this happen Josh 😉. When it does I will hop off the fence for sure.
Awesome video! So you said it has the standard VFD transmission, does that mean Amain has a mistake? From their page: “Boasting the sought-after VFD Twin transmission and F10 Straight Axles”
What a great video! You highlighted the scenery and the capabilities of that little crawler extremely well. How many scale miles do you think the Fordyce traveled during that trek?
Thats a great question. It was probably only a couple miles of terrain, but it was technical and trying the whole way! It definitely put some battle scars on the truck!
Hey Josh,my name is David Peterson just got my first Vanquish the Fordyce and I'm loving it but after 2 batteries run through it(less than 2000mah) and 2 of the shocks are leaking from the bottom orings,should I pull apart and reseal and see what happens or do I need to replace the orings
Great video concept and execution, not to mention great driving. Will this be offered as a kit at some point? I’ve managed to avoid RTR’s thus far as I like the building process. Thanks and congrats on what looks to be another great Vanquish rig!
Cool truck, cool trail.😎 Would love to see a trail buggy version instead of another vintage truck body, but at least it resembles the Willys trucks you do sometimes see on the 1/1 trails.
Well. This is the next truck that I'll be adding to the Blind Guy RC garage. I am loving this. Great work to everyone over at vanquish. Very cool video man. You should do more like this. That said the style you have been doing is awesome. Longer more in depth videos. Super cool area to. I really need to get a 3d printer hahahaha. 😎👍👍
I don't know what I am most impressed with. The truck, the terrain, or the photography. All were outstanding. The truck is definitely the star. I'm looking forward to seeing more .
You gave that such a beating! I'm calling RC Protective Services on you RIGHT now! Looks pretty impressive out of the box
It pained me to watch this truck tumble down those rocks but it really shows the durability of this rig… and I am not sure if anyone else has said anything but I can see the hard work that you put into your content and I for one love and appreciate it.. keep it up my friend

I’m glad I’m not the only weirdo to do these kinds of trail runs
Okay Josh, I LOVE the fact that you guys named this truck after a beautiful Sierra Nevada lake. I go camping up there with my father every year in June. I love the California Easter eggs. Love the Vanquish family!
This has to be the most impressive RTR I have ever seen.
New level video! I am so happy as a classic truck body fan the details on the door, windshield and grill. So much scale potential and to add more classic touches! A builders and trail guys dream!
One of your best vids yet! Awesome scenery, great music, filming and commentary 👌

I do also believe I have some understand the personal enjoyment of completing the task you set yourself to climb that trail under the “ rules “ you self imposed on the day.

Amazing work on the truck! I can tell why it’s your favorite as it drives fantastic! 🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁

Your half mile looked a lot tougher than my 12 miles! Great job Josh, finally had some time to watch this one.
Killer video! Love me some running footage. New rig looks good. I like the simplified VFD and straights on this one
That's one of my favorite trails, you should try the lower lock Haven hiking trail in Cisco grove. That's 8 miles of non stop crawling. Awesome truck that vanquish makes.
I like this format. Really shows off the truck where it’s meant to be rather than just on the bench.
Absolutely fantastic! I started the video on my phone at lunch. Waited to get home to watch it in the big screen with the wife. Great video and very impressive RTR rig. ❤👏👏👍👍
Ordered my vs10 kit straight Axle will b here Tuesday can’t wait! 🤓🔧❤️🔥
Oh those tires get stuck twisted because the foams are to narrow and turn inside the tire!! A set of wider foams clears this issue right up!
Man that place is gorgeous
Vanquish is bringing the heat to the crawling RTR market. Now lets get a 4wheel steer model.
Josh such a great job man this truck is right at home on that crawl doing it’s thang !!! Video is so good
I absolutely loved the trail footage. I did something similar in Ireland with the trail that climbs the Dublin Mountains in Ticknock, without touching the car, up and down. And yes, it ended up being a whole new level of RC experience.
Vanquish hit it out of the park on this one! I've been meaning to pick up a phoenix for a while but this one is a must have!
Ordered mine last night during the live stream. Really glad to see the VFD is sticking around.
This was an impressive video that truck looks great. Being is shares the VFD from the vs-410 pro I think the first thing I will do to mine is the rear portal swap. I seen many spots in this video that the rear portal would have helped out in a big way for the performance of this truck.

Sweet video, you and matt both killed with these videos, you punished the crap out of it and he gave it the endurance test! Solid truck and video!
I'll wait for the kit version. looks awesome!
I love it Harley another home run brother 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. The water scene at the end. Very tranquil
I've put 9 of your trucks together now. Trying to recommend an RTR for a buddy. Quick question, where are your trucks being assembled?

What an awesome little truck the beating that it literally took I don't think there's another RTR that could do that with exception of maybe the Phoenix. Amazing work guys
The straight axle phoenix has grown to become my favorite truck so I'm definitely looking at this new model. 👌 Nicely done
A great release and something that was needed to fill the gap in the Phoenix RTR line. Might have to add one to the fleet this Christmas. Can't wait for a clear version of that body to be available!

Great video and love the scenery! And that little fordyce accomplished a very impressive feat with you manning the wheel one handed for sure 👍🏻.
A challenge like this is so much more interesting than a simple trail run. Great footage and good driving!
Trying to change up review styles when possible, the regular bench stuff can be tough to stay motivated with.
At first I was like dam that’s a lot of money for a crawl rig; but after watching it tumble down the mountain time after time again, I’m really impressed
Nice video Josh. What a great way to showcase all the truck's virtues. Also nice to see Nicole out there doing the climb as well...
Your best video yet man, and my next truck. Job well done.
i need this in a basic kit with portals. i was gonna save up for a pheonix. but im saving up for one of these now lol.
Very nice man. Great camera crew
I can not believe the abuse that thing took! AMAZING!
I said I would never buy another RTR, but that was before Vanquish got into the game. The 3 Amigos in my garage, ( VS4-10 Ultra, VS4-10 Phoenix Ground Fox, VRD Pro) may have to make room for a new little buddy in 2024.

Amazing. Thank you for the bonus at the end.
Once again, it’s a fantastic looking as well as performing truck. I love the will-us vibe looking body as well as keeping the standard vanquish lighting on it bringing it into modern times. Job well done!
Impressive! Love the new truck. Awesome display of durability and capability.
Looks great. Gonna have to retire my current trail truck for a Fordyce. Gonna call it the Dodgedyce 😂
Really put it it to the test here!
V has a BIG winner on their hands with this release. I like the Willy’s body way better than the Phoenix. Nice work. 👍🏼
I wish Vanquish wanted this and the Falken in my studio!
I hope you guys offer this in a kit
Thanks for the running review great job on the video keep up the good work 😊
This was rad Josh! Proud of those ankles!
Excellent video Josh. Yes, you certainly took the challenging lines up Catfish. Love my past Catfish runs with the Donner Party Crawler peps. Both my Pro and Phoenix have made it; but, that was always with a touch or two...and many body scrapes. LOL
Awesome video. The truck looks very impressive. The spot you took it is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing and for all the info.
Daaaang. Vanquish is putting the spank down lately. Noce job guys.
Well lookie there, the trail gave you a scale accessory
Left rear shock is leaking bad at 1:10 . Had the same problem with the Phoenix RTR.
A good candidate for another budget build series!
Awesome place to crawl. Wish I could get that rig
Josh I just ordered a new blue one through my local hobby shop never even thought to ask about the card.
Patina! Looks like a great release. I was going to build a straight axle Phoenix as my winter project. Might still do that, as I prefer to Yota cab. But if this comes in a kit someday it looks like it has possibilities.
There goes my rc budget 😂 Amazing release
What a location 😲
The beating you gave the truck and it kept going speaks volumes about Vanquish quality
Love the one handed steering wheel I have your 3d printed thumb steer for my trx-6 ultimate hauler
Nice edits and upload man! Quality tumbles!
This is 100% awesome crawler . Great video and im watching satisfied 👍
What an outstanding little truck
I have been on the fence in regard to purchasing a Vanquish rig. Am surprised Vanquish has not and have been waiting for a vehicle offered with a "mullet" setup. I have faith you will make this happen Josh 😉. When it does I will hop off the fence for sure.
Awesome video! So you said it has the standard VFD transmission, does that mean Amain has a mistake? From their page:
“Boasting the sought-after VFD Twin transmission and F10 Straight Axles”
The standard VFD transmission, rather than the VFD TWIN. This is the strongest option available.
Very cool video!! I’d that body going to be available separately?
Super cool video and Rig! i would agree with u, That was an accomplishment👍
Nice to see that it’s catfish certified out of the box and that GoPro is one I printed but not sure who lost it!! Lol
Gotta have it! Love the standard VFD
I miss axial fest being up there. So many memories
What a great video! You highlighted the scenery and the capabilities of that little crawler extremely well. How many scale miles do you think the Fordyce traveled during that trek?
Thats a great question. It was probably only a couple miles of terrain, but it was technical and trying the whole way! It definitely put some battle scars on the truck!
@@HarleyDesignsInc Now my question is: Phoenix RTR or Fordyce RTR?
Incredible looking truck, also amazing location, we need stuff like that in the UK!
Very nice! Will they bring out a kit version?
Have you ever gone around the Judah loop. Super cool just across the street
Would the fusion pro combo be a faster motor in this truck or is it just the gearing?
Hey Josh,my name is David Peterson just got my first Vanquish the Fordyce and I'm loving it but after 2 batteries run through it(less than 2000mah) and 2 of the shocks are leaking from the bottom orings,should I pull apart and reseal and see what happens or do I need to replace the orings
The Rear wheels look crazy. Did they slip on the beadlocks? It looks like a star ⭐️ pattern.
They always straightened back up when I stopped climbing. This whole video was on one long incline basically!
I've got to pick one of these up!
Another bangin video. Another bangin truck!
Really cool looking rig, took such a good beating that one of the shocks even blew up! 🔥
Will the Phoenix interior fit this?
Answered in wednesday live, not directly (or possibly at all)
Awesome truck! And it can handle a beating very impressive 😎
Great video concept and execution, not to mention great driving. Will this be offered as a kit at some point? I’ve managed to avoid RTR’s thus far as I like the building process. Thanks and congrats on what looks to be another great Vanquish rig!
would you recommend an alternate foam?
Always love a good tumbling sequence...
Beautiful vid, thanks!
Dang Josh! Great video and another amazing truck from Vanquish. Adding this to my next order. 👍👍👍
What do you think about the FMX Buzzsaw..
It would be good if they made a larger scale version
Cool truck, cool trail.😎 Would love to see a trail buggy version instead of another vintage truck body, but at least it resembles the Willys trucks you do sometimes see on the 1/1 trails.
Curious what battery you used and how many swaps to complete the trail?
4300mah Gens Ace, was able to do it without a swap. So I didn’t have to touch it at all!
@@HarleyDesignsInc Thanks.
Awe man what a cool look rig!!! That is a great trail for her first run!!!! Nice!!!🤘🤘🤘
I just installed some flubber stuffers inserts front and rear, they made a big difference on my rig!!!
How many battery changes did it take to make that run??
Well. This is the next truck that I'll be adding to the Blind Guy RC garage.
I am loving this.
Great work to everyone over at vanquish.
Very cool video man.
You should do more like this.
That said the style you have been doing is awesome.
Longer more in depth videos.
Super cool area to.
I really need to get a 3d printer hahahaha.
😎👍👍
What in the what. We have a crawl video!!!
I need that hood decal
