I think that this truck shows the other company is that they really need to step up their RTR game besides a Capra this will be the best performing RTR, and besides a few super scale trucks, the best looking at a price that is very appealing. The whole vanquish team should be very very proud of themselves.
I am so excited, I like building kits, but sometimes I just want a RTR. I see two for my son and I. Hopefully we can get two this spring. Amazing RTR,has everything you would ever want!!!!!!🏁🏁🏁👍🙂🏁.
It’s so nice to see an RTR that is great out of the box and doesn’t need a load of upgrades to get it to perform well. Brilliant job on the video and all the details of the kit Josh.
Awesome value. I have been planning on building the straight axle version for awhile now and this just saves me a bunch of time. Super excited to see a RTR. Didn't expect that. Nice radio choice too.
Holy crap! Awesome move Vanquish. And the release is during KOH week! You are crushing it! My wife and I love our Vanquish kits and I am sure this RTR will create a lot of new RC enthusiasts! 👍👍
I think this is a great idea from Vanquish. There are a lot of people that are looking for things like this. Now there is a fantastic option for those that are new to the hobby but want to go with a name known for quality and performance. I have felt that the Phoenix was the best bang for your buck and now with an RTR, it's a no brainer on what to buy now if you are looking for an RTR.
Well done! I should have known something was up when you kept mentioning how many RTR's would be released this year in the last few episodes of SNU! Excellent idea to bring the RTR version of the VS4-10 Phoenix to the Vanquish lineup!
Great work, Vanquish! I still prefer the kit, because I enjoy the build, but this is a GREAT electronics option + no hassle to build and paint, at this price point. Any chance the Falkens will make their way into the kits? I'd really like to get a straight axle kit with them =)
Awesome job!! This RTR looks very capable! And I love how it comes ready for all the upgrades right in the box! Having all the extra parts included is a great move!
Awesome. Great to see Vanquish in the RTR part of the market. Hopefully the kits will get the Falken tires as well. Going to recommend to a friend looking to start into crawling as he was trying to get a Honcho. Thanks for another great episode.
Omg. Not a single comment yet about the AMC pacer body yet?? Amazing epic chassis, with a terd on top. I cant believe im the only one who’s skin is crawling over that body…
Too funny! When you asked on SNU about what releases we predict in 2023 my initial thought was an RTR from Vanquish! I didn't post it for fear of being roasted! I mean, what a stupid idea 🤣 Well, congrats, great vehicle! I would have loved a 1080 but nit picking. At $480, a ton of these will be going out the door, no doubt!
I finally saw one in person and really like the truck so im picking one up from my local hobby shop this week. My guys holding onto one for me. Next i want to vfd carbon kit . Great video guy
Another thorough review but still concise and very clear, all very useful info and very well edited. You have provided yet another example of how professional reviewers craft excellent videos - thank you! Question: I wonder if tossing in 2-stage foam inserts is as important as mentioned in some of the other reviews?
That's Awesome for Vanquish to offer the Phoenix-SA RTR for under the Price of a TRX4 K10 Cheyenne 😀👉 Even if you have to update the Servo and Radio 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy Josh 🏁💯🏁
Congrats Josh and Vanquish! This looks like a very good release. It’s the first RTR I’ve seen that you can legitimately upgrade without having to rip out all the electronics first! And a radio that can control all the transmission functions!? Blasphemy! Cool that you include the shift links and the metal bearing plate upgrade too. Did you consider doing a version with a HW Fusion SE? P.s. You might want to change the “Vehicle Kits” navigation on the website to just “Vehicles” or “Vehicles (Kits/RTR)”
G'day Josh ol son😎......Big Congrats to All Gnarly peoples at Vanquish🥳, this will puts some competitors on the back heal a bit🤔just a bit. To be honest Vanquish has a great PR person (and his side kick😉) on youtube, who showcases and gives us all a picture of the product and the Company. Cheers Josh m8 from Downunder🙃
Awesome! I already have a few of the kits but I may buy a RTR just to have. Curious though. What was the rating of the servo? I dont think you ever said how much tq it had.
And as a proud owner of the portal unit(for wife's trail rig)and the straight axle(my long range trail setup) I'll probley be getting a rtr.....for another hand out unit....or swap out one of the kids to a rtr.....aaaaaaa we'll all be matching then!!!!!!! Lol.....
Great review 👍 I picked one up Friday, haven't got it out yet...I can't wait to hit the trails & rocks!!! I've been looking it over and made sure everything was tight and proper and really seems like a well built rig....👍👍
Awesome release and even better radio included! I'm building my holiday deals ultra bundle and it has been a joy to build. Fitting an LC70 body on it too but it has been too cold to paint it. Unrelated to the Phoenix, but I shazam'ed that first backing track. That seems like it would be fun to play guitar over 😆
This might make me buy a kit.. that grey body without bedsides looks so good, I just don't care for a RTR. Wish the kit came with falken tires though, or would come to europe directly from "overseas" without adding US taxes before EU import costs
I like what I see. I have a dumb question I am almost 73 and me and a couple other old boys play with our crawlers a couple times a week so a RTR is the only way for me to upgrade as screws are to small for us to see good and other issues is there any thing that one should replace when one buys the kit?? My wraith is 11years old and others have a Traxxas. Thanks for the review. HR
Who am I kidding, it will be on my shelf ASAP. 🤗 I guess I'm trying not to like it to keep myself from buying it. Dang it, it's smooth. I'm thinking Grey?
Being the bed sides will be offered separately,will they be pre-painted to match the bodies or offered in clear only? It would be awesome to see a pre-painted interior offered also. As I definitely plan on picking this up
Bro wuts up with the shinner??? Not enough makeup mi big bro😆Nevertheless freaking awesome vid nice to see an rtr version will there be option side panels maybe a tail gate for scalers or even an optional full bed???? Oh yeah do you also have an additional reinforcement for the panhard mount on the front axle cause my axle panhard mount snapped off 😳
When will the portal version be available? Or am I still stuck with a kit? I'd rather have an rtr portal phoenix but will buy the kit if an rtr doesn't become available soon. I knew a phoenix rtr would come along. It was just a matter of time. I just thought the portal would come first
Hello I'm somewhat new to crawlers and rc in general I've had a Redcat gen 7 for a few years now. I'm tired of breaking axles and transmission parts do you think this would be a good next upgrade for my rc journey
This is awesome. The rtr game has a new king. Nit sure who really was before hahahaha. I need this. This is so cool, and it has the perfect parts. Sure.... some things are missing.. Oh well. I love that it has the new tires. I'm a little surprised one never showed up at my door..... hahahahaha kidding. I'll be picking one up soon enough. Then I will own 4 Phoenixes. Plus a flat rail with f10 portals. Best truck on the market. Kit and rtr. Plus the electronics... great choice. Tried and true. Love it. 😎👍👍

I like that they took the Team TRC Grey colour from my WINNING Worlds fastest one as inspiration. 🇬🇧
Did not see this one coming. Congratulations to all the vanquish team on the first rtr.
Such a great release! Loved driving it and heading back out again this weekend. Awesome video Josh!
I think that this truck shows the other company is that they really need to step up their RTR game besides a Capra this will be the best performing RTR, and besides a few super scale trucks, the best looking at a price that is very appealing.

I am so excited, I like building kits, but sometimes I just want a RTR. I see two for my son and I. Hopefully we can get two this spring. Amazing RTR,has everything you would ever want!!!!!!🏁🏁🏁👍🙂🏁.
More Vanquish on the Rocks is never a bad thing, congrats guys you've gone mainstream, also not a bad thing 😉🖖
It’s so nice to see an RTR that is great out of the box and doesn’t need a load of upgrades to get it to perform well. Brilliant job on the video and all the details of the kit Josh.
Did Josh design the vs4 kit himself?
Awesome value. I have been planning on building the straight axle version for awhile now and this just saves me a bunch of time. Super excited to see a RTR. Didn't expect that. Nice radio choice too.
Holy crap! Awesome move Vanquish. And the release is during KOH week! You are crushing it! My wife and I love our Vanquish kits and I am sure this RTR will create a lot of new RC enthusiasts! 👍👍
10/10!!!!! You guys killed it! I’m buying two right now! Replacing my sons base camps with these!
Now let’s talk vanquish fest! We need one!
Wow, what a great option at a super price. I have a pro and a phoenix and they are my favorite in my collection
First RTR ever with better tires than the kit version?! Well done!
I think this is a great idea from Vanquish. There are a lot of people that are looking for things like this. Now there is a fantastic option for those that are new to the hobby but want to go with a name known for quality and performance. I have felt that the Phoenix was the best bang for your buck and now with an RTR, it's a no brainer on what to buy now if you are looking for an RTR.
I have Falken Wild Peak tires on my Chevy Tahoe. Excellent 1:1 tires. Great road manners, killer off road performance.
Same. Love em
So excited to see the line expanding! Add it to the rtr list!!!!
Well done! I should have known something was up when you kept mentioning how many RTR's would be released this year in the last few episodes of SNU! Excellent idea to bring the RTR version of the VS4-10 Phoenix to the Vanquish lineup!
So what you’re saying then, is this is ready to run?
Out of the box.
@@justinomarino Really? 😆
So happy to see the rtr! I think it was a smart move for Vanquish. I plan on ordering a couple .
Great work, Vanquish! I still prefer the kit, because I enjoy the build, but this is a GREAT electronics option + no hassle to build and paint, at this price point.
Any chance the Falkens will make their way into the kits? I'd really like to get a straight axle kit with them =)
Awesome job!! This RTR looks very capable! And I love how it comes ready for all the upgrades right in the box! Having all the extra parts included is a great move!
The Falken's should come with the kit also. Hopefully you can find a way to get rid of those terrible VXT tires.
Just started building my Pheonix last night . Can’t wait to get some of the rtr’s in my shop to sell !
Very smart move from vanquish!! Really cool to see this option now!!
This is exactly why we love Vanquish. 💪
Great rtr, I love mine, super capable. Would love to see a video about the transmitter and all the functions and how best to set it up for crawling.
The PLASTIC f10s slide over everything and strong af. 10/10 👌🏻
You guys nailed it. Great setup and an incredible price, especially considering all price increases we've seen.
Great job and by far one of the best introductions and info sessions on a new RTR.
That’s pretty awesome! Glad to see an rtr from Vanquish!
I did a cement Grey several months ago, looks great 🙌🏼
Got it Ordered ! Passed up early kits because of assembly de laziness on my part ! Can't Wait
Turbo Racing P52 radio? You can bind it to your CR-18 builders kit truck, to your 1/24 RGT, CR-24, 1/6 Willys Jeep, Atlas 6x6, Rochobby Katana.
Pew pew pew traxxas. Shots fired.
I will be ordering the radio if (when) available...
+1 for this year’s RTR release count!
Awesome. Great to see Vanquish in the RTR part of the market. Hopefully the kits will get the Falken tires as well. Going to recommend to a friend looking to start into crawling as he was trying to get a Honcho. Thanks for another great episode.
That is a nice looking setup, such a shame it doesn't come with a HW 1080 but I haven't seen anything that does, maybe HW won't allow it yet 🤷
Omg. Not a single comment yet about the AMC pacer body yet?? Amazing epic chassis, with a terd on top. I cant believe im the only one who’s skin is crawling over that body…
Awesome! Congrats on the first VP RTR release! Looking forward to getting one soon. 🇺🇸
Killer set up right out of the box and the price point is spot on. Definitely the best rtr to buy
Congratulations vanquish and Josh on this huge release. I didn't not seen vp coming out with this. This is great news..
Nice work, Josh and the VP team!
Should I go portal or straight axle I’m a casual crawler help!
well thought out options included. Great Job, VP!

We have not done a Vanquish yet guess that will change now

Although I'm not a big fan of rtr's this is definitely what an rtr should be!
Nice touch using music from when the last FJ 45 was built. Love the product. Good job!!!

The title of this release video should have been
VANQUISH TAKES OVER THE WORLD
LOL......THAT AWESOME GUYS..
And as a proud owner of the portal unit(for wife's trail rig)and the straight axle(my long range trail setup)
I'll probley be getting a rtr.....for another hand out unit....or swap out one of the kids to a rtr.....aaaaaaa we'll all be matching then!!!!!!! Lol.....
Smashing it out of the ball park again,, well done Vanquish 🤙.. Awesome
Didnt think I would see the day! I remember the convo's VP should make an entire rig...lol
I love seeing this, I'm usually a kit guy but man that radio is nice!
Is the shifting for a hi/low speed, or is it just an overdrive ratio change?
Great review 👍 I picked one up Friday, haven't got it out yet...I can't wait to hit the trails & rocks!!! I've been looking it over and made sure everything was tight and proper and really seems like a well built rig....👍👍
There's a new kid on the playground. Great first rtr. Gonna be a hit 👍
That's awesome, congratulations. The truck is kickass, i like the stripped down bed look 🤘woooooooooooo🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
That red one would look even more awesome with a chiefs decal on it!
I double dog dare you! Lmao!
Awesome release and even better radio included! I'm building my holiday deals ultra bundle and it has been a joy to build. Fitting an LC70 body on it too but it has been too cold to paint it. Unrelated to the Phoenix, but I shazam'ed that first backing track. That seems like it would be fun to play guitar over 😆
Sweet for those who don’t want to put one together. Great idea.
Who would of thought You been asking about eyes for 2 weeks and BAM the rtr of all rtr’s
😂😂 I like doing the because of this stuff.
The most incredible thing is moosejaw personally painting all of these bodies lol
Haha! Well we know Josh didn’t do it!
This might make me buy a kit.. that grey body without bedsides looks so good, I just don't care for a RTR.
Wish the kit came with falken tires though, or would come to europe directly from "overseas" without adding US taxes before EU import costs
Looks like there is going to be a Phoenix in my collection in the near future
Who needs to eat when you have Vanquish coming out with outstanding products like these! LOL
Damn it man. I need to save money for a house.
Awesome rig! I'd love to get hands on one of those!!! 🤞🙂
Thing is sick! I want the kit bad! Might have to off load some stuff and grab one!
I like what I see. I have a dumb question I am almost 73 and me and a couple other old boys play with our crawlers a couple times a week so a RTR is the only way for me to upgrade as screws are to small for us to see good and other issues is there any thing that one should replace when one buys the kit?? My wraith is 11years old and others have a Traxxas. Thanks for the review. HR
Job well done Josh. Very informative product explanation. Like button engaged.
Dude!!! RTR #11 on the year is a Vanquish!
Now there a RTR I didn't think I'd ever see!!!
It’s like you guys know I have a bonus from work coming lol
Would this qualify as a Class 1 or 2? Super awesome job!
Who am I kidding, it will be on my shelf ASAP. 🤗 I guess I'm trying not to like it to keep myself from buying it. Dang it, it's smooth. I'm thinking Grey?
Being the bed sides will be offered separately,will they be pre-painted to match the bodies or offered in clear only? It would be awesome to see a pre-painted interior offered also. As I definitely plan on picking this up
Awesome value from Vanquish, awesome video, and awesome rock venue. Must be Folsom.
Yup, Folsom indeed.
Looks like you might be at Folsom lake? If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me where that is?
Awesome job explaining all those spare parts.
Oak Beach.
Yass! killed it Josh, obviously lol curious to see scale guilder build "unbox' it
nice rtr ,i have 3 kits and isee another RTR in my future - the grey one is sweet
Bro wuts up with the shinner??? Not enough makeup mi big bro😆Nevertheless freaking awesome vid nice to see an rtr version will there be option side panels maybe a tail gate for scalers or even an optional full bed????
Oh yeah do you also have an additional reinforcement for the panhard mount on the front axle cause my axle panhard mount snapped off 😳
I’ve been really enjoying mine! I ordered mine from Amain hobbies. Is the esc BEC voltage set to 6v or 7.4v out the box?
When will the portal version be available? Or am I still stuck with a kit? I'd rather have an rtr portal phoenix but will buy the kit if an rtr doesn't become available soon. I knew a phoenix rtr would come along. It was just a matter of time. I just thought the portal would come first
Awesome RTR. I was just looking at the kit one yesterday at my lhs.
Vanquish...finally "playing with the big boys".
Moosejaw is going to be busy painting these. Lol
Love the red one and think this is going to be a good seller for u guys.
Looks like rtr done right!
Awesome! Love that you can get a rtr Phoenix!! I can’t believe one of the two colors isn’t orange?? 😂😂😂
We got the gray like my gladiator though, so I’m happy.
Good lookin' truck! I really need to go driving up at Lake Folsom.
It’s a great spot to be able to crawl any time!
Hello I'm somewhat new to crawlers and rc in general I've had a Redcat gen 7 for a few years now. I'm tired of breaking axles and transmission parts do you think this would be a good next upgrade for my rc journey
Just got one best rtr ever
You are going to be busy building all of these on Fridays. ;)
This is awesome. The rtr game has a new king. Nit sure who really was before hahahaha.
I need this. This is so cool, and it has the perfect parts.
Sure.... some things are missing..
Oh well.
I love that it has the new tires.
I'm a little surprised one never showed up at my door..... hahahahaha kidding.
I'll be picking one up soon enough.
Then I will own 4 Phoenixes.
Plus a flat rail with f10 portals.
Best truck on the market.
Kit and rtr.
Plus the electronics... great choice.
Tried and true.
Love it.
😎👍👍
But does this mean vanquish is going to be making more of their own electronics?
So are you assembling all of these Josh? Better charge the batteries on your DeWalt! :-)
