Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix VS RC Speedy C3! [Does more money=more performance in RC Crawling?]

- In this video, we’re putting two very different trucks with the same heart head-to-head in a game of crawl to see which one comes out on top! Will it be the Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix or will the RC Speedy C3 based on the VFD Twin edge it out?? Stay tuned to find out!
Cameron and I headed out to West Wendover in an attempt to avoid the snow in Salt Lake and it turned out to be a great idea! While there was some snow around still, the rock was dry and grippy as always! Since I haven’t had much of a chance to drive these two rigs side by side, I was very curious to see how the new RC Speedy C3 would hold up against the VS4-10 Phoenix on some hard lines. To be fair, the Phoenix has many, many lines under its belt, and the C3 has yet to really be tuned at all-but that said, Lt. Dan kicks some caged ass!
Let me know what you think in the comments down below! Have another idea for a video? I’d love to hear what you’ve got, so let me know!

it would help the C3 to not have the spare on the back correct? that would seem to be adding a lot of weight high and in the rear. Looks very cool, but I guess that's the choice. Also this video is great as are all of yours. the production value is incredible. Excellent work sir.
Most definitely. I know many people run a fake (plastic) bead-lock and a tire with no foam as their spare to reduce weight. This is absolutely something I'll be tuning and working on in the near future. But I really appreciate those kind words, thank you so much!! Always working to improve the video quality! 🤘🏼🤙🏼🍻
You should rename the Phoenix "Billygoat" because it climbed that rock like it was easy.
Hahahaha I love that as a truck name-I just might have to use it 😂 Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼
On my c2 getting rid of the trailing arms and going to bent links helped a lot I cut the tab for the trailing arms off as it’s a hang up spot add some limiting straps to the shock to help keep it more composed and a some more low forward weight. Makes them a really capable rig of course it’s not gonna compete wit class 2 comp trucks
Great input, thank you so much for sharing! We’ve got a buddy down South that did a similar build to what you describe and his is surprisingly capable! I’ll have to start tuning mine once I get through all these other projects 😅 *when you overwhelm yourself with a hobby*
Silver Island Mountains, a great place to crawl.
Fantastic!! I love Silver Island Mountain area-great crawling, camping, shooting spots, all the things! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Great job brother
Thank you!! Much appreciated brotha 🤘🏼🤙🏼🍻
The speedy lols very high.
And a lot of gear on it.
Vs a stripped down version.
With heavy axles and not much on them body side.
Seems like the tires could play a role too.
Very true! The weight is a huge factor in the performance here-but I would agree that the tires are playing into it as well. Cheers! 🤘🏼
Different tires, different lines.....different. I love the rims and tires on the Phoenix.
Very true!! Thanks for the feedback. I actually would love to put a similar set on the C3, but those wheels nearly bankrupt me so I need to save up for another set... 😅😂
great video with great commentary whichmost other videos lack. Well done!
Thank you very much! That’s something I noticed with other crawling videos-they often felt boring and underproduced; I wanted to shake it up a bit! But I greatly appreciate your kind words! ❤️
we need an update on the c3!
I have noticed with the non-coil over shocks they tend to unload which definitely causes the roll over problem. I’m currently messing around with spring under the piston to help keep the nose down and have the front end in droop. Especially with that awesome heavy body on your c3.
Ahhh that's a great insight! I definitely determined that I need to try out a different setup, but I couldn't figure out why the non-coil-over shocks were performing so poorly. Honestly, it may be in-part due to my lack of building skills as well. But stay tuned for more tuning and testing to come! 🤘🏼🤙🏼🍻
@@highnoonhobby that’s what the hobby is all about! Always tinkering. I am still learning as well. Just have been watching a lot of videos on shock setup lately as I rebuild my trail finder 2. A fairly quick easy try would be the pen spring mod. Using your typical click pen pull the spring and place it under the piston. That will essentially keep the shock in full compression but still allow it to articulate since the springs are light. New sub to your channel and really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work! Jealous of your awesome crawling grounds. Much more limited here in the PNW without some traveling to find spots.
Love the new intro! Great video as always. I always like the comparison videos.
Much appreciated, Cam!! You don't even want to know how many hours that 7 seconds of video took me 😅😂 but your comment has made it all worth it! 🤘🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼🤙🏼
Another 🔥🔥 video Alec. So I was watching the C3 and was wondering how much adjustability you have in your upper links? The front seems like you have lot of separation between the lower link and upper link on the skid side. If you can try lowering the upper link closer to the lower link. That should help drive forward by keeping the front from lifting up on steep inclines.
Anyways fun video, really liking the c3 build brother! Cheers 🍻
Ahhh, that's a great observation, Ryan! Thank you so much for pointing that out, that's totally something I would have glazed right over! I'll take a look at it tonight and see what I can come up with! Cheers my friend, thank you so much! The C3 may not perform too well right now, but I don't care-I'm in love 🤘🏼🤙🏼🍻😅😂
Nice
Much appreciated! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Nice rig and Nice wheels! Whats the with on those? 1.5?
What are you doing way out there in Wendover? That's quite a ways from SLC. Ya know I have a VS4-10 kit still sealed in the box that I bought months ago... I'm mortified about having to paint it (I want it to come out well), so I haven't built it yet. Yeah I suck.
Hahaha I'm always willing to make a long drive for solid lines!! And I feel ya there, I have a new Phoenix body that I am loathing the idea of painting-I might just have to send it over to Donut Boy and have him paint it up all nicely for me 😅😂 Cheers, my friend!
Scx2 brass works on the stright axel version.mabey scx3 will work with the portals?
Hmmm this is a great place to start, thank you for the insight!! I'll certainly let you know what I find out. Cheers! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Great video Bub we’re can I buy those wide wheels on the Phoenix
Thank you much!! And those are CNC Custom Wheels, you can find them on Instagram but if you see a pair for sale you better jump on em! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Awesome
Thank you very much!! 🤘🏼🤙🏼🍻
How wide is those wheels
Lt. Dan is rocking CNC custom wheels which are 1.9"x1" in this configuration! Thanks for the question! 🤙🏼🤘🏼
@@highnoonhobby where do you get those from?
Take that tire off is this guy serious 🧐
New around here? 😂 Cheers, man 🤙🏼
Remove the spare tyre on the c3 and try it again
Agreed! We'll certainly be doing some follow-up videos and I will include that on the list of mods! Cheers! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Practice, Practice
Very true!! I definitely need more wheel time with the C3 before I can confidently say that I'm driving it even close to well enough. Thanks for your input! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Are those 1.9 x 1.6 ? On BFG? Also you mentioned you needed special hubs? I'm interested in buying them but am kinda new to the big crawlers just ordered a Pheonix 😁
They are! And I just used the larger vanquish hubs to counter the offset allow the portals to clear. I believe I'm on the 475 hubs if I'm not mistaken. And great choice-the Phoenix will treat you very well!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
