What a great time for new crawlers!! You can compete right out of the box with one of these, and have a great all around truck too. Happy New Year Francis🥳
As always sir good comments, information, and on rocks review. These RTRs are getting better which is awesome for those just coming into the hobby. Now show us how you plan to take this rig to the next level.
I figure if i get the rtr im going to upgrade everything that comes with the rtr lol, wheels tires motor esc body everything so i might as well get the kit hahaha
The most premium brand in rc, offering maybe their best truck and they put a 1060 in it? It's like when you get your first rc car for Christmas and Santa forgot to include 4AA batteries. It seems like FMS is the only rc company that gives you more than you were expecting.
Mine arrived on friday. I had a spare fusion pro 2300. The car makes alot of noise and has a clicking noise. Do you push down the body in the skids to place the body pins. HELP
The gearbox of the car in generale is loud. I think the body enhances the sound. I only drove it 2 minutes with the original motor and did not pay attention to it. Second thing i Found . The smal berm on the front drive Shaft hits the chassis when front suspension is fully compressed. I cut the berm out with a knive
I thought about making a drinking game out of your videos. Every time you say "box-stock" you have to take a drink. Unfortunately, I'd probably get alcohol poisoning. 😂 🍻 PS I love your content. Keep it coming!
Comparisons now man with Ascent and this VRD Stance...first stock vs stock then some mods between them. I was enamored with the Ascent that I wanted to get one but now this VRD Stance came out...whoa whoa wait...I might save up for that instead.
Incredible deal at that price but I want to see how it performs compared to the carbon kit with similar set up. I could go either way so I’m definitely paying attention to both. Please Please get & review the new Hobby Plus Evo Pro the brushless one with Furitek I’m super curious what your take is on it I have one already but they are always out of stock I set up email alert & as soon as I got it I ordered it & the next day both models where sold out. Oh it’s a 1:18 scale mini Stance looks just like it only 1:18. I had it out with the Fury & the Fury can hold it’s own but my feeling is the Evo is in a different class even stock the first 1:18 comp rig. 👍
I would recommend this for sure in this high performance category. The tires and the suspension are just next level. The Redcat is a good starter for one who really has just $300, and maybe free more money down the road.
Great video, everything i wanted to find out about the truck! You mention the 1080 esc but you say a holmes hobby motor and not a specific one though? A more sensitive one? Could you narrow that down to a particular one?
Francis please test the jconcepts megalithics! They seem amazing, I’d like to see them on printed foams if I’m being honest… why not see what it can really do!
I think this did a great job with the geometry. Think whomever developed the geometry knew physics and geometry vs something like the ascent or other rtr's that are more hybrid and less comp. I'd be curious to know if the vrd has the same geometry as this or slightly different because after the build, it seemed to have better weight distribution than this Stance. Does this come with the same upgrades the kit offers like servo behind axle steering and diff motor mount, etc? The price though... we all know its inflated and labor cost is crazy high. we just need a company whom wants to undercut and take more market share.. but can't because each rig is so diff so everyone prices it the same and shows it off as different and new.
Thanks so much for your videos! In new the the hobby i just got a FMS scx18 Lc80 thanks to all the videos i watch of u reviewing it jajsjs and im loving it so much Now want something bigger my first 1/10 scale i cant decide between This for $500 or the Redcat Ascent for $300 I dont plan on modding it for now maybe wheels and tires Witch one would u recommend as my first 1/10 scale is the extra 200 worth it for the This truck ?? And u think what crawler will have better longevity without things breaking Your advice would be highly appreciated Thanks again 👍🏼🙏🏽
@@RCReviewChannel morning ☕️ thanks so much buddy!! i will patiently wait im assuming u will drop a video soon on that particular vehicle jajajaja i will stay tuned any hints ?? On the upcoming RC dropping the 20th thanks again for your content it has helped me tremendously 🤙🏼🙏🏽
@@RCReviewChannel I think i know 🤩 Let’s just say Fusion Brushless!! Black n red jaja Im guessing!! u know what price range and other colors ?? Man im so exited if its what I think it is RTR brushless setup man 🙏🏽
Hello, could you let me know of your opinion on something? I'm currently researching RC cars to use in my fpv project. This truck and the TRX4 sport are the 2 I am currently looking at most. Could you speak on this vrd stance in regards to top speed? I am worried this rig will be too slow in comparison with TRX4 sport after I install the 2 speed conversion kit directly from Traxxas. This allows me to travel a decent speed(10 ish mph) I'm hoping to get a very capable truck with great suspension for long range fpv adventures in the woods and rocks. Thanks so much for all the reviews and information you speak on in these videos.
The top speed on the VRD Stance is about 5 mph at best. It's really not made for any kind of speed so the TRX4 Sport is much, much better for your purpose.
Ok I am in the market for my First RC and it's between this Stance and the Redcat Ascent. I don't mind spending the extra money so I would love your expert opinion. Should I just start with the Vanquish Stance VRD RTR? Oh BTW I have been riding and racing mountain bikes since 1992 and now I'm a brand ambassador for Structure Cycleworks. I Love MTBR. Thanks for your help.
Do yourselves a favor and buy the kit version. Why pay more for a stripped down version that you will have to upgrade most of the electronics anyways, all while missing out on all of the upgrades of the kit version.
I think this and the kit serves two different markets. The reach of this VRD will be impressive and it will please hardcore comp crawlers and enthusiasts.
Fair enough! Yeah, this style really sacrifices most thing for pure performance. And these are really just for those who want to compete or those that have really tough, rocky terrain ton conquer.
That's why there's Class 1 and Class 2 type crawlers for competitions. That's why there are more options for any type of RCs today, we are more spoiled for so many choice than we I was a kid in the late 80s starting RCs.
COMPETITION 😂🤣😂🤣. With ESC good only for winches, trash motors, servos may be good for DIG, and radio is good for children with not enough channels. Vanquish is making just a jump for money 💰 inexperienced, young drivers.

You got that right! Good time for the hobby! Thanks a ton @shuster1921
Your content is always a treat and gives great info. Keep up the good work
I needed to recharge and I'm ready now for some more awesome content!!!
@RCReviewChannel always take time to recharge. Dont let anyone tell you different.
Glad to see that Vanquish has finally followed Redcat with an RTR competition-style crawler 😉.
There's first and there's right and a whole lot of room for other players! Hope this category continues to evolve.
Redcat fusion is just as good and 200.00 cheaper
@@ScottAnthisit’s a 100 dollar difference and the 3 link still has bump steer.
Not just as good…do some googling…there’s enough RUclips videos to debunk your myth.😉👍
As always sir good comments, information, and on rocks review. These RTRs are getting better which is awesome for those just coming into the hobby. Now show us how you plan to take this rig to the next level.
This is my first crawler and I’m really impressed with what it can do stock.
I’ll be putting my fusion SE into this one
I like the new background less distractions clean 😊...how much were the carbon rails ?
Happy new year, cool review rtr is the way to get to the new consumer. Kits are for the hardcore diy person.
New hobbyists get hooked with RTR. And it's really the majority of the rc market. Especially the RTR audience that loves to mod and upgrade!
Like the crawler,also like the rhft...hard choice...👍☕️☕️✌️ thank you sir , good job
I figure if i get the rtr im going to upgrade everything that comes with the rtr lol, wheels tires motor esc body everything so i might as well get the kit hahaha
Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍

awesome rtr! outstanding review!!
Thanks a ton! Spread the word about the channel!
I too was suprised it did not come with a 1080 or compatable programable ESC. Its a great rig though.
For sure. I think they really wanted to get it under $500
Mine arrived on friday. I had a spare fusion pro 2300. The car makes alot of noise and has a clicking noise. Do you push down the body in the skids to place the body pins. HELP
What is clicking, after install of 2300?
The gearbox of the car in generale is loud. I think the body enhances the sound. I only drove it 2 minutes with the original motor and did not pay attention to it. Second thing i Found . The smal berm on the front drive Shaft hits the chassis when front suspension is fully compressed. I cut the berm out with a knive
I alsof had to cut a smalle piece of the skidplate to fit the motor. And trim a Link that hit the motor when fully compressing
I thought about making a drinking game out of your videos. Every time you say "box-stock" you have to take a drink. Unfortunately, I'd probably get alcohol poisoning. 😂 🍻

haha. Box stock, bone stock, out of the box!!!!!
Comparisons now man with Ascent and this VRD Stance...first stock vs stock then some mods between them.
I was enamored with the Ascent that I wanted to get one but now this VRD Stance came out...whoa whoa wait...I might save up for that instead.
Definitely will do.
Debating on either the stance or the Capra and whichever I get will get the fusion 2n1 motor esc ? Which do you think would be more capable ?
Incredible deal at that price but I want to see how it performs compared to the carbon kit with similar set up. I could go either way so I’m definitely paying attention to both. Please Please get & review the new Hobby Plus Evo Pro the brushless one with Furitek I’m super curious what your take is on it I have one already but they are always out of stock I set up email alert & as soon as I got it I ordered it & the next day both models where sold out.

I had it out with the Fury & the Fury can hold it’s own but my feeling is the Evo is in a different class even stock the first 1:18 comp rig. 👍
Right on. Will check into it.
For the price, would you recommend this, or a redcat ascent and $200 in upgrades? Still a nice looking truck either way. Nice review
I would recommend this for sure in this high performance category. The tires and the suspension are just next level.
The Redcat is a good starter for one who really has just $300, and maybe free more money down the road.
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it. It is a good one indeed!!!
Think you will do a head to head with the Fordyce and Phoenix RTRs to see how big the performance gap is? Cheers!@@RCReviewChannel
Great video, everything i wanted to find out about the truck!
You mention the 1080 esc but you say a holmes hobby motor and not a specific one though? A more sensitive one? Could you narrow that down to a particular one?
Francis please test the jconcepts megalithics! They seem amazing, I’d like to see them on printed foams if I’m being honest… why not see what it can really do!
@@RCReviewChannelyes sir! People have been raving but the stock foams are mid as everyone knows so i wanna see what they got with printed foams
2024 starts off with a competition ready RTR??
The future is finally here!
The future is so bright, we gotta wear shades!!!!
How does it compare to the Phoenix RTR. Perhaps a video idea 😉.
Ahh, great idea!!!!
I think this did a great job with the geometry. Think whomever developed the geometry knew physics and geometry vs something like the ascent or other rtr's that are more hybrid and less comp.

Definitely, this company know rc geometry. It seems to defy physics with it sitting so high but crawling so steep and composed!
It’s screaming for Vanquish metal beadlocks 👍
We'll definitely try a few sets on those.
Maybe I missed it, don't know how. New set? When did that happen? Looks great, love the camera change up. Love the channel
Ah no, this is just my other setup for Overlanding and Drone reviews. My work bench is covered with the almost done Killerbody Mercury Toyota!
@@RCReviewChannel oohhh. Can't wait to see that one!
Better than redcat ascent fusion?
Thanks so much for your videos! In new the the hobby i just got a FMS scx18 Lc80 thanks to all the videos i watch of u reviewing it jajsjs and im loving it so much
Now want something bigger my first 1/10 scale i cant decide between This for $500 or the Redcat Ascent for $300
I dont plan on modding it for now maybe wheels and tires
Witch one would u recommend as my first 1/10 scale is the extra 200 worth it for the This truck ??
And u think what crawler will have better longevity without things breaking
Your advice would be highly appreciated
Thanks again 👍🏼🙏🏽
Between these two, the Stance RTR is a better vehicle and value.
But if you can wait til March 20, there's something better these two coming.
@@RCReviewChannel morning ☕️ thanks so much buddy!! i will patiently wait im assuming u will drop a video soon on that particular vehicle jajajaja i will stay tuned any hints ?? On the upcoming RC dropping the 20th thanks again for your content it has helped me tremendously 🤙🏼🙏🏽
Yes, I'll have a video up that day.
@@RCReviewChannel I think i know 🤩 Let’s just say Fusion Brushless!! Black n red jaja Im guessing!! u know what price range and other colors ?? Man im so exited if its what I think it is
RTR brushless setup man 🙏🏽
VRD Carbon is $429.99 at AMAIN The chassis rails are Aluminum not steel.
I noticed u said no weights. Confused as the one I was looking at said it came weighted .. maybe different
The tires look really tall, but seem to grip pretty well.
You craw in Cupertino?
For the price of Proline DS foam they should have options like hard,med,soft. I find Proline DS foam is only good on my 8lb + rigs.
So true. The form is quite hard and not good for light vehicles
Amazing
Thank you. I was definitely impressed with the stock setup.

TIERS NEED VENTING SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲✌🏼🤩
Witch Akku do u use?
When you turn left the wheel hits the link. Anyone have the same issue?
Yours has a carbon chassis already??
Wow
Cant wait till taxes come in im drooling over it
Those stock links will bend quickly . I ordered rock pirate rc HD links
Its not there own products! Why not just call it, what it is? But a nice looking kit. Happy New Year from Denmark
I think the vrd carbon kit is actually 429.
You are correct!!!!!
Frame rails are aluminum not steel
Do yourselves a favor and buy the kit version. Why pay more for a stripped down version that you will have to upgrade most of the electronics anyways, all while missing out on all of the upgrades of the kit version.

1.
winner, chicken dinner.
c2 4.75 tire max
Definitely push the envelope didn't they that means everybody else is going to have to keep up with that
mine clicks and links bent in an hour
I dont like the crawler style the realism of the axial and traxxas are better in my opinion.but great video man!
Fair enough! Yeah, this style really sacrifices most thing for pure performance. And these are really just for those who want to compete or those that have really tough, rocky terrain ton conquer.
That's why there's Class 1 and Class 2 type crawlers for competitions.

Wish this was released as a lower spec kit. RTR electronics are worthless.
there aluminim rails and less over drive
and links are weaker on the rtr
the rear links bend easy
Very nice car,but it $$$$$😅
Not cheap and really has to be compared to comp crawler builds... which often rund $1k
COMPETITION 😂🤣😂🤣. With ESC good only for winches, trash motors, servos may be good for DIG, and radio is good for children with not enough channels. Vanquish is making just a jump for money 💰 inexperienced, young drivers.
