Nice overview. I think RTR first tests should be with the included ESC and motor. I wanted to see how it performs with what it comes with, then how it performs with what you put in as upgrades.
Yes! Fyi, all the true technical rock course testing was done with stock esc, motor, tires and foam. It is here: th-cam.com/video/-RAB2kv_whM/w-d-xo.html You can see how the drag brake is not as good and how the tires kind of fold under load
The ting is that I'm happy for all these new models as it means that our hobby is safe. Great looking and and working crawler. Thanks for showing. Ciao Nanni
If I were to recommend an RTR for anyone looking to get into 1/10 crawling, THIS IS THE ONE ! I have had nothing but joy building and driving my Vanquish products, Top Shelf all the way around !
It's a industry changer for sure. With that said they should of added 2 cheap servos for the dig and overdrive and charged 499.99. To me it's an incomplete RTR, more of a RTR Kit hybrid. Regardless it will usher more competitive pricing in the industry. If a big boy can bring something like this in under 500, no excuse for Traxxes and Axial to follow suit.
Order two? Do you have very very lucky boys. Where are you in Norcal? I am in San Jose. Make sure to click on the links in the description when you buy it.
You convinced me to get one before they run out. Also got the gray but I've got a Jeep Cherokee hard body going on it. My first 1/10 crawler was a Redcat Gen 7 Pro that I got last March. So I'm still somewhat new to the hobby.
I have the portal kit already and was considering getting the straight axle one that way I can have both 😁. Just ordered a RED one right out of your link, glad to be a bit of help for your channel. And by the way, your channel is the best 👍
Great video Frances... but I really would have liked to see the first run box stock and not already upgraded. That said I love your videos. My first choice in rc news. Thanks for sharing. John
When asking for someone to do a video of 110 what you need for break down all the way through you know to the build and what it would take for now I know all I got to do is get this upgrade to Holmes Hobby brushless motor ESC and some brass and I'm in there
Wish you would do a video on setting up the TR-1 transmitter. I just got this crawler, put a 3s battery in it and it goes crazy. I know I could install a Hobbywing fusion I already have and use that esc to set parameters, but I'd like to try the stock motor and esc first. The manual is no help as they only use acronyms for everything without saying in plain English what each parameter is.
Nice. I'll stick with my Redcat Gen 8 Axe though, as the better RTR ( not at this price point ). Not sure if they still make it though. 5 channel radio / Reef servos, brushless motor/ ESC. The thing is a tank.
Great video excited about this new release I been looking at getting a more performance orientated rtr and this might be the one… if possible on the next video do you think you can point out what you have to do to get the fusion pro to fit into the rig personally for me that the motor I would get for it..
I know there are a few different internal setups in the transmission, does this version have the metal bearing plates and the components that are the kind of quality we expect from Vanquish? Or has the transmission been a spot where they cut corners to meet this price point? I'd also like to k own more about the included transmitter.... all of my crawlers are on separate radios so they can be driven at the same time , so this one really appeals to me... I think they've done well with this truck and I might just have a Vanquish in my collection soon because of this truck...
It's a shame that vanquish vs4 10 can't be bought here.. I'd like to buy it, but we don't have a dealer! If someone was interested and sent a package with vanquish vs4 10 portal, I would be happy
So comes equipped with dig and overdrive built in?? Just install servos to make them work? I'm sorry I've been out of the hobby for a few years and wanna get back in. Lol
I am looking at getting another crawler but I am trying to decide between the Phoenix or the Fordyce. Anybody have suggestions which one to go with pro cons portals or straight axles? I have been all axial so far but think it is time for a change.
Fordyce!!! since that body is so much more fresh than the many Phoenix versions. Portals if best for performance, especially in rough, obstacle strewn conditions. Straight axle is more scale. Since portal bodies sit higher with the higher shock mounting positions, many good companies use shorter shorcks to equalize the body height with straight axle versions.
I'd like to see more simple rtrs. Single speed divorced transfer case portal axles like the gen8 but stop giving cheap bodies plastic links and no inner fenders. The base camp wouldn't be bad if it had inner fenders no body posts and why did they switch from the front mount battery
Idk if it's the best but it's amazing for the money, I want one really bad, I have the RGT Jimny which I paid 200 for and it's insane what you get for that. So I can only imagine what a 400 dollar RGT will get you.
@@jasonbecker4997 you mean at least 70 dollars for now; and do take a look at what ex86170 offers that includes many metal upgrades and electronics. I would take a zd racing ex07 over the traxxas x01 any day
You're saying it's the best crawler on the market today at that price, but you put upgrades in it to get performance out of it. so in my opinion that's not the best crawler on the market, it makes it more expensive than most of the others once you add upgrades.
The point of RTR is to upgrade, improve and personalize to one's style and terrain!! That's all our channel does. At the 8 minute mark, we do a comprehensive test on our rock crawl course, BOX STOCK! The 'best upgrades' video is coming up next.

Thank you for telling the price, almost all the other rc you tubers won't say the price. In this economy, it's most important thing!

Well said!
This is TEMENDOUS news. Just joined the Vanquish family and I love what this company is doing and what I am learning about them!
If I were to recommend an RTR for anyone looking to get into 1/10 crawling, THIS IS THE ONE ! I have had nothing but joy building and driving my Vanquish products, Top Shelf all the way around !
'recommend to a friend' That's a high compliment!
Over a trx4? Looking to pick up a crawler tomorrow
Wow an rtr pretty cool stuff. The hobby has been just so good last few years
You got that right!
Good review, I appreciate the truth without a sugar coating.
Vanquish stands above the rest in pure quality! Great Review Brother!
No doubt!
Good to know proline dual stages work in these tires! I've had the sidewall crumpling issue and was looking for a way around it
Glad I could help!
Awesome video and review!
Some other great looking RC there too!
The FJ55 is killer!
Vanquish knocked it out of the park with this rtr. At that price with that platform it can’t be beat. Why would you go with anything else? Great video
Thanks again for the excellent reviews!

Yeah they killed it! I’m so stoked they came out with an rtr!!!
I’m gonna go order two for my boys
Order two? Do you have very very lucky boys. Where are you in Norcal? I am in San Jose. Make sure to click on the links in the description when you buy it.
I can’t wait to see you do comparisons to other rtr’s!
We'll make it happen
@@RCReviewChannel we are still waiting patiently 😊
Man this makes me excited
Couldn’t agree more regarding the factory foam,the tire def looked “square” looks way better with the dual stage. 🤙
Nice review! Are you going to do a shoot out comparing the straight axle to the portal version?
You convinced me to get one before they run out. Also got the gray but I've got a Jeep Cherokee hard body going on it. My first 1/10 crawler was a Redcat Gen 7 Pro that I got last March. So I'm still somewhat new to the hobby.

Great video, if I didn’t just get the builders kit, I would of def. have gotten this RTR. Especially @ this price point.
Great to hear!
Best value in crawling today. Hands down. Throw a beastly servo and a fusion pro in it. Done deal.
Wish it was 2 speed!
Amazing value thorough! Plan to get the gray as well
Great business move for vanguish.
Amazing performance for the price point! Your review videos keep getting better too! #superpro
This is killer great for the market to bring down the big dogs a bit.
Yeah, this will help the category for sure. Everyone will be forced to shape up and give us better offerings
Thank you for the review! It is really good model
Much appreciated. It’s perfect for the times too, and a tough economy.
I think I'll gonna get one 🤔 Thanks for the great info, as usual! Mabuhay!
Can't go wrong pare.
It looks amazing! I will have to put the $$$$ down NOW!
Damn. I was about to get the kit. Are stock electronics high-performance enough? I might just get the RTR and do a custom exterior paint.
I'm using your link to order one right now Thank you
Does it come with the links I would need for the OD and dig servos?
Yes
When asking for someone to do a video of 110 what you need for break down all the way through you know to the build and what it would take for now I know all I got to do is get this upgrade to Holmes Hobby brushless motor ESC and some brass and I'm in there
Where’s that top mods video to do to the phoenix. Been looking forward to that!
Would of liked to see a stock review of it.
love this rig!!
It is attainable high-end!
Sooo nice 🤤 …kit or rtr 🤔
I don't wanna piss off people here but rc prices are generally ridiculous, big names are great for sure, but I stick to brands like RGT hands down.
Wish you would do a video on setting up the TR-1 transmitter. I just got this crawler, put a 3s battery in it and it goes crazy. I know I could install a Hobbywing fusion I already have and use that esc to set parameters, but I'd like to try the stock motor and esc first.

Nice. I'll stick with my Redcat Gen 8 Axe though, as the better RTR ( not at this price point ). Not sure if they still make it though. 5 channel radio / Reef servos, brushless motor/ ESC. The thing is a tank.
I remember when everyone was praising the Team Associated Element Enduro. How does this one compare?
did you have trouble lining up the hole in the single bottom screw that secures the trans to the skid plate?
great video. what battery was used during the stock test?
Great video excited about this new release I been looking at getting a more performance orientated rtr and this might be the one… if possible on the next video do you think you can point out what you have to do to get the fusion pro to fit into the rig personally for me that the motor I would get for it..
I just had to trim the down the upper front link mount a bit. Fits great
Been shopping/researching my first crawler for over a month. I think this may be the one.
Smart choice
@@DoubleADay expecting arrival Tuesday. Can't wait.
hello . could you give me the links to the wheels and foam that you used . will i need adapters of any kind . thank you .
Cheaper than a trx4 and 10.3… yet it’s 1000x better than those 2 combined.
I ordered the same color and I really like your rim choice. What rims are those?
Hey seriously considering picking up this rig! Would the half cab body fit on this chassis?
Do you have a video on the RTR transmitter?
They can do it because markup price is insane and they are all ripping us off 😄
May I ask what wheels you are running there?
What wheels did you switch to? Thinking of this for my first RC car.
Which ProLine wheel set would you recommend for an upgrade as the better choice for an even grippier touch???
Thank you
Waiting on the top 5 upgrade video
This rtr should have had the portals and both servos included. At 500
I know there are a few different internal setups in the transmission, does this version have the metal bearing plates and the components that are the kind of quality we expect from Vanquish? Or has the transmission been a spot where they cut corners to meet this price point?
I'd also like to k own more about the included transmitter.... all of my crawlers are on separate radios so they can be driven at the same time , so this one really appeals to me... I think they've done well with this truck and I might just have a Vanquish in my collection soon because of this truck...
Still waiting for the Top 5 Upgrades video you promised us.
In Your opinion is this a better vehicle than the g made buffalo rtr? definately going to get one or the other, thanks.
what motor and esc do you recommend with this? Is it true the Fusion does not fit without trimming?
What's that little white Fj40 looking truck?
No rtr crawler should come with a 1060. That being said it's a fantastic kit. Wonder if Traxxas is paying attention?
Great review but how is it with the stock motor? Also, would this be able to run as a class 2 with the transmission it has?
So all the test video on minute 8 on the rock course was all box stock. motor and tires.
Could you put this truck on a high-low chassis
It's a shame that vanquish vs4 10 can't be bought here.. I'd like to buy it, but we don't have a dealer! If someone was interested and sent a package with vanquish vs4 10 portal, I would be happy
Any chance you do a video on how to install the fusion pro?
With or without portals? Which way to go?
This Vanquish or Element ecto? What say you?
So comes equipped with dig and overdrive built in?? Just install servos to make them work? I'm sorry I've been out of the hobby for a few years and wanna get back in. Lol
yep. even comes with the links. You will need the servo horns though.
Love my Vanquidh VS4-10 but time will tell 🤔
Which dual stage proline foam did you like for the wild peaks? I see 2 versions on amain..thx
The one for 1.9 wheels.
Grab a set of Anti Foams for it, and never look back!
What motor & esc did you upgrade to?
Have a link for the batteries I need ?
Weird, the body is one of the things that draws me to the vehicle.
Where do you trail?
Ohhhh snaaap!
That’s nice
I am looking at getting another crawler but I am trying to decide between the Phoenix or the Fordyce. Anybody have suggestions which one to go with pro cons portals or straight axles? I have been all axial so far but think it is time for a change.
Fordyce!!! since that body is so much more fresh than the many Phoenix versions.
Portals if best for performance, especially in rough, obstacle strewn conditions. Straight axle is more scale. Since portal bodies sit higher with the higher shock mounting positions, many good companies use shorter shorcks to equalize the body height with straight axle versions.
Dang it, I ordered it because of your review, but I forgot to use your affiliate link 🤦♂️
Cancel and reorder!
:)
I'd like to see more simple rtrs. Single speed divorced transfer case portal axles like the gen8 but stop giving cheap bodies plastic links and no inner fenders. The base camp wouldn't be bad if it had inner fenders no body posts and why did they switch from the front mount battery
You shouldn't have added the heavier wheels and hotter motor for your testing; it's not longer a controlled review of stock form.
8 minute mark of the video has box stock footage of the vehicle on our test course. Very detailed
What wheels are they?
These are Vanquish Method 101 bit.ly/463R039
Ya it's bad , I mean good !
nah, the best rtr is the rgt ex86170 - managed to get it at ~ 410 dollars shipped
oh my
Idk if it's the best but it's amazing for the money, I want one really bad, I have the RGT Jimny which I paid 200 for and it's insane what you get for that. So I can only imagine what a 400 dollar RGT will get you.
Rgt over Vanquish for $60 less?
Really?

sold out fast
Really huh? Crazy.. It is a gem.
@@RCReviewChannel actualy it's available on amain.. shh
@@RCReviewChannel Are there other body options available?
Is it a sin to not put Vanquish wheels on it ? 😂

At the eight minute mark of this video, we did a full test on our Rockwall course, absolutely box stock. It did did insanely well.
