The reviewer’s appreciation is genuine.
pro tip : watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Dariel Thaddeus yea, been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
What a lovely location to drive!!
Yeah thank you for sharing RC review !! I love mine, it is a outstanding rig . I got the hobby wing combo. The new AXE System, 2300KV Sensored brushless motor outstanding electronics, the drag brake system is outstanding, again appreciate you sharing, Love watching your reviews
Hi Andy, I see the HobbyWing AXE combo is discontinued on Amain. Did you grab before or is there an updated combo I can look at?
Really useful summary narration during the running video. nice insight into performance. :)
Thank you. We find from watching others that context and explanation is very key since the viewer doesn't know how hard or easy the sections are.
Francis. Looks like you faired better at Pescadero than I did at Rockaway. Great review. Yes, the VS410 Pro kit is on my hit list...LOL
The Pro looks like a fantastic performer, and man that un-licensed truck body is a total knockout! Looking forward to the shootouts with the Pro and other vehicles.
It knocked it out of the park.
Awesome review, dude. It really looks fantastic! 😃
Great crawler!
Yes, not disappointed
Excited to see the comparison. Will be a good show.
We're excited too. Just need some warm weather.
Guess I am going to have to save some pennies. I still would like to see you guys run it head to head against a Trx4 Sport that you have modified to a comparative price level.
Awesome job brother, Happy Holidays to you and your love ones brother
Great review. The 410 Pro will definitely be my next crawler. Happy holidays.
You're in good hands
You mentioned the stock wheels were too wide of an offset and you went with some Gmade replacements. Which wheels did you go with and what offset did you find ideal? I'm about to build one of these and will likely change the wheels/tires out right off the bat, but I'm trying to figure out which wheels/hubs to go with.
A really interesting video would be to take a TRX4 Sport Kit and Element RC Enduro Kit and take half the difference in the kit prices and use it for upgrades $225 each and use the same motor and ESC
thank you for that awsome job off straight review :)
It's a beauty. I am looking forward to building one up. Any ESC suggestions?
That truck runs like butter... 👍 😁
Can u please set up the links to the electronics u used for this setup? 🤔
Luv ur vids!
I want that setup in electronics on that crawler in my build.
When I first saw this kit, I about spit my coffee out after seeing the price... but after watching this video... it looks like a bargain actually. I mean for what you get, anyone can easily spend that in upgrades for something else and still not be all that great. It's like you are buying all the functional upgrades needed to have a great rig, but buying it all at once. If I was into competitions, this would absolutely be my go to rig.
Have you got your hands on the ultra yet? I’m trying to decide between the two.
Question? For the money spent why didn’t you spend the extra 100.00 bus and get the ultra?
I think changing to 48 pitch gears for the pinion and spur would also smoothen out the low speed.
Interesting....
Great review, thanks for testing on something besides rock
right on. More than an hour drive but it's nice there at least.
any tips on bleeding those shocks? im having a heck of a time with that little bladder in the top!
That's a chunk of change right there!..out of my price range..I bet my element could out perform that vanquish!
Stock to stock I doubt it! A modified element could hang with the pro….but then you’re in the neighborhood of the same costs!
Hi there, would you buy this or a TRX6?
Just the chassis set is an improvement to a otherwise stock SCX10II but it’s no VS410 pro (the VFD + that offset front axel is what makes it LCG) you will spend more than just buying the VS410 pro kit trying to piece one together so really yeah it’s a steep cost of entry but overall it is cheaper if you’re the person that has to have premium everything it’s worth every penny. (Drove someone’s pro vs my SCX10 V1)
Personally I’m good stock with plastic axels and older SCX10 style transmission I started fresh with a builders kit and the Vanquish chassis upgrade as I go but no plans to go full VS410 pro specs
You think the quality up to par with the gen8 ? 🙂
@@paulclancy2404 you're joking right?? Did you just ask if vanquish is up to redcat quality 🤣
@@stpbasss3773 lol 😆 I must of been
@@paulclancy2404 I love red cat dont get me wrong lol
Just bought one, after pricing out and SCX10iii kit and all the Vanquish upgrades i normally buy, this came out about the same cost. plus i already own SCX10, SCX10ii, and a RR10. So why not try a new kit that also makes the best Axle upgrades on the market.
What’s the difference between this and the ultra kit?
Since you have both HobbyWing AXE and Mamba X, which combo offers better slow motion control? It appears to me HobbyWing is better...
Quick question about the build: does the front pumpkin interfere with the pan hard link before full compression? I just built my Ultra and am curious. Thanks for all the great content!
No interference for us at all.
Thank you for the great review! Did you test the top speed in any videos?
Not yet! It's so varied for motor and pinion choice. We'll take a look next time.
Also what motor combo are you using ? It sounds a little different then other sensored brushless motors I’ve heard
That motor is a holmes hobby 3000 KV
Looks like an awesome rig! Is that brass under your scx24?
Yes, brass axle cover. It's seen a lot of mods now for our next videos. Just need to test.
I bought the Vanquish VS410 Origin last year because the other famous rc youtube channels said it was the best kit ever made. It turns out they work at that company or were given the kit for free.
Anyway, that crawler was a mess with a noodle chassis and aluminum that got hung up everywhere. I'm still mad at myself for falling for that garage queen scam. I'm tempted by this one but I'm just not sure. I listen to RC Review but it would be nice to hear from others who can offer up some honest evaluations.
Harley? He is pretty transparent with his employment and sponsorships. If you watch more than 1 or 2 of his videos you should get the idea he works with Vanquish. Not sure what other "famous youtuber" you could be speaking of that works for Vanquish. If the Origin wasn't up to your expectations and caused such heartache in your life i wouldn't spend the money for another VP kit. They will all have a nice aluminum chassis and axles just like you didn't like previously.
Wait the vanguish is axial, I'm newbie crawler uf stupid question
Thinking same hated so much thinking about the new one lol
@@paulclancy2404 that was my bad with a typo there. I edited it with the correct wording. Sorry to mislead.
You're right. The Origin was way more HYPE than performance. Vanquish "quietly" tried to let it pass...
This one's the real deal though!
Comparing it to the new RTR Redcat Gen8 AXE edition, what's your rating in terms of crawling ability or isn't it fair to compare these two RC's against each other? I would think the Redcat's slow speed control is maybe a bit better and overall better value for money. I love the Vanquish body
We ran this next to the Redcat Gen 8. The Gen8 was so rough and top heavy. It was really night and day. The Axe motor is very, very good in slow speed. What it does really well is hill hold. It holds during drag brake (throttle neutral) but it holds as well while applying throttle. Top end is not as good on the Axe as this Holmes Puller Pro.
The Gen8 has an awful drivetrain. It needs tires for sure. It needs a light body to perform but it's not easy to put a velcro mount one that is aftermarket.
Apples and oranges , I would think ones a better value ones just better bc get what you pay for in this world 1200 vs 500 I'm sure vanguish out performs axe but enough to spend 700 more ?jmo.... I'd like both 🙂🚗
I'm curious about how well the gmade gom stacks up against some of those more expensive rigs. I would love to get your input
We have Gmade now on our channel. They get a B+ compared to the A-rated rigs. Good materials, a few poor setup choices like springs and shocks. No upgrade path.
@@RCReviewChannel awesome thanks for the reply
Links for servo and tires r the same as the esc
спасибо за новое видео мой друг,ставлю лайк,так держать)))
Another awesome review ! Thanks . I may get this truck someday . I’ll tell my wife it is a bargain at 400$ 😉🤣
Cash is king and no paper trail.
RC Review very true 🤣👍👍
“Honey, the chassis is like when you get the heels and now you have to get the purse.”
No paper trail except when your wife looks at the monthly statement lmao "why did you pull put 500$ this day"? 😅
You are right, is really a good balanced vehicle !
But I would like to see a comparison with Axial Honcho out of the box (all with the same tires, obviously!)...I think the price of Vanquish will appear not so equilibrated !
We have some Traxxas TRX4, some Axial, some others...and the most steep climbs are overcome only by Honcho and a really cheap Austar chassis !
May be Vanquish could be better...but before throwing money away some comparison should prove its performance against the best !
Buying a Vanquish involves prestige, design and durability. It will not win any best bang for the buck contests.
@@RCReviewChannel ok, in that context Traxxas (Bronco, Blazer, Mercedes) appears really more accurate, on license and with two gears / differential lock...but for a really more appropriate price (they are RTR not kit without electronic) and last forever.
The VS410 chassis slapped onto an Element Enduro (or just stiffening the Enduro chassis) some brass knuckles should give a similar result. With that being said... I wouldn't mind picking one up and selling off the Enduro. Haha.
The VFD transmission is insanely good.
The Element RC is our favorite too but needs significant stiffening.
What's the difference between the Ultra and Pro.
The Ultra has portal axles and shocks that 10mm shorter to compensate for the rise in chassis height.
Is that the sound of the servo or ESC?
ESC
this or trx4?
I don't get the people complaining about the price of this kit?.. sure you can buy 2 or 3 RTR vehicles for the price, but you then have 2 or 3 vehicles that can't make it up the "wall of doom" or over "heartbreak ridge" whatever the famous obstacles might be...
Sure you can have fun with ANY truck you purchase, but it isn't going to perform like this comprehensively upgraded kit without equivalent money put into it, and then you would still be missing the VFD transmission and lcg with no brass.
I'm on a budget and pick and choose trucks and parts as I go but I get what the vs410pro is about..
Thanks for the running video of this truck it is a real performer..
Cheers 👍
It's good to have these options in the marketplace.
Wait a minute.. He already did a video comparing it to the Trx4 sport... And they performed the exact same on the same courses. The Vanquish did not out perform the Trx4 by no defiinition.
@@provisionsigns1210 I think your referring to the footage about 11months ago? Which is a comparison of trx4 and vs410 origin... it's a different truck to the vs410pro. The original one is more like a glorified scx10ii with vanquish alloy upgrades. I think most vehicles can perform better with upgraded parts fitted, but once said parts are purchased you would be in a similar or even higher price than the expense of vs410pro kit and still minus the VFD transmission with superior motor placement and CG.. I like all my vehicles, I'm not saying any are the best, my comment was referring to value for included performance.
Cheers
Still won't compare to the sport for the money stock.
I am looking at A VS4-10 Ultra for my next Truck. Tired of dicking with Axial.
Is there a way to minimize sine whine? The noise really bothers me a lot. Maybe it's just more pronounced in videos.
That noise is so annoying. But it most likely is not that loud in real life. At least i hope. But it stopped me from buying one.
The high frequency sounds are pretty much par for the course with most all motor and esc combos. If your sensitive to the esc sounds Holmes Hobbies has some you can pretty much make silent if you choose.
@@danielkonrad1444 lol. That noise is not the truck. It's the electronics. Stop lying saying that's the reason you didn't buy one.
@@Loafina7or i meant the Esc. Not the car. And that noise made me skip it.
@@danielkonrad1444 you have obviously never owned high end electronics then. I never had a noise issue when your on the rocks mainly because your usually about 10 feet from your rig and not inside it.
80w oil in the shocks dose not make for a very scale appearing suspension action. A scale operator would be banging up and down off the seat and hitting there head on the roof when traveling over a rough area. I found that using a much lighter oil makes for a more realistic action and alows the suspension to react to supple movement like a real vehicle as it travels over rough roads. A scale appearing vehicle should be made to perform in a scale manner.
Something interesting about shock oil is it's completely dependent on the size of the piston holes that it passes through. These Incision shocks have big holes. So 80wt feels like 30wt in most other crawlers. Bigger pistols allow better flow through it seems. Just fyi.
@@RCReviewChannel I try to use a oil that gives a scale ride instead of the over dampend ride I see on most of the rigs out there.
Interesting. That's the cool part of the hobby. Options.
I would like to see if a TRX4 could follow it on this same trail?
Looks awesome but for that price buy an rc4wd bully 2, i have one it is beyond amazing probably unbeatable in performance.👍
We need a comparison video
It's gonna happen for sure. Weather is just so sketchy these days. And we need to collect matching tires.
The thing that you need to know is that once you buy something like this you’re locked into buying there expensive upgrades because it’s not compatible with other brands
Appreciate the input.
The Vp kits are no more or less proprietary than anything else out there. Every rig out there is nothing more than a pile of parts and screws that can be put together however one chooses.
Thank you!!
Vanquish started out as a company that made upgrades for other brands... so that is quite the ironic comment.
Richard Bennett what I meant was you wouldn’t want to put any other parts on it I don’t know maybe a Traxxas servo 😂
it was worth it supports American company made here in America
expansive price!!!! but it s very incredible cars 1/10, the tires are stock box or not????
the tires are Proline Hyrax. The stock tires are not good and cannot do most of these climbs.
@@RCReviewChannel ok !!!! it s very good cars,i just buy a redcat gen 8 and proline too,I can wait to try
This kit has no business costing $750, I don't care how pretty those axles are (and not even portals). They don't use space age plastics or anything, it's just has some good design features. I would be a player at around $450 with no tires. That said, have you seen the prices for racing buggies and onroad cars? Outrageous.
It seems like when a RC is this much money. Its a investment rather then a HOBBY! For that much loot we shouldn't be hearing the ESC squeal the way it does,right!?🤔
Almost all esc make that noise. Its normal
Originally, I was planning on doing with the VS4-10 Pro. I even purchased the kit...and then returned it the next day, followed by getting the SSD Trail King Pro. For less than half the price (of the kit), I ended up with something almost as good as the VS4-10 Pro, and something MUCH better than the SCX10.2. Now, this is NOT to say that I'm never get the VS4-10 Pro. Once I finish all my other projects (those already "in-process", as well as those currently in the planning stages), I'll reevaluate the possibility of spending $1,500 (kit, electronics, different body, etc) on the VS4-10 Pro (or whatever it's replacement might be).
Looks like a good kit. But it's lacking any innovation and low CG engineering. Price seems to have dropped quite a bit though and that makes it more attractive.
What do you like about it? Can it outperform a well set up SCX10 II?
Next is overdriving the VS4-10 Pro and review it.
20% overdrive coming
Great truck. Very high price though.
i own this kit and a few scx 10s and this kit is in no way worth 3 or 4 times the amount of a axial you are out of your mind
So, for $800, it doesn’t come with electronics? For that price it should come with WATERPROOF electrics!
First gen looks based off a trx4
Do a build and a givaway
Maybe.
NC MOUNTAIN back yard RC and more 🏞👍
ja ja
Total waste of money .. you can get 2-3 RTR for that money lol 🤣
I wouldn't say it's a waste of money. Seems cool to have this option.
I bought my first real car for $100. It started w a screwdriver...burned down in the driveway eventually lol
:) entertaining story.
Lol me2 100 or 150 1971 nova wrapped her around a tree
Yeah it's expensive. No Secret. Most People know how I'm always bitching about high prices in RC!! *BUT...*
This Rig is worth the price, if you're looking for the BEST. Nearly Comp ready out of the box!
Whiny Fanboys will pay MORE than this for a USELESS XMAXX or UDR!! 😜😂
This is an awesome Rig, and if I ever have money again, I'm getting one!
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
"Useless Xmaxx or UDR" lol... opinions & assholes are 1 in the same.
