I like the color surprise part of it. Kind of like the mystery truck combos you guys do from time to time except I know what truck I would be getting. Lots of folks seem a bit riled up about but I like the idea of getting a truck I want but having the surprise of not know exactly what it will look like!
Love the surprise element of the colours. Good decision i think to add an element if surprise. Y3s a hassle if you plan to colour match your wheela, but black or clear go with everything.
I was waiting for this since the RTR came out Josh. Thanks for making a real kit version available for us builders! My order is already in at Amain hobbies
It gives me great relief to see that even longtime experienced hobbyists also can have an X-Acto knife take over their lives in ways they didn’t expect. Looks like an awesome kit! Can’t wait to see the mystery livery! And the 1.9s on 2.2s do look more buggyesque.
I am hoping & betting that the drawing this evening on the Tuesday Live will be for an Optic kit.. Josh is looking forward to opening one live is my bet. Thank you for the kit option VP! Kits rule!
2 things, I love that you run the MT12 radiomaster radio. Iykyk. Also I could hear your X1C running in the beginning of the video. I absolutely love mine. What luck getting the orange livery 😂.
I would have to buy the kit first I like things to flow and the wheels make as big of difference as the paint does , the wrong set of wheels can break a build .
I wasn’t hyped on the FnF livery, but it’s kinda grown on me now. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed with whatever color I get. Should have mine by the12th I hope.
this is super rad-but most of us in this day and age have to save four or five months just to buy a rig now. And I mean most of us! Which means if we pay for something we don't really want a color surprise. But I'm sure vanquish will adjust that overtime to buy what color we want
Great to see a kit 👍Random Livery 👎 (yeah I know you don't want to get a glut of one color stuck in inventory). Glad to see you kept with the tradition of offering a bit of an upgrade in the kit version over the RTR. I've been playing with a scratch build list, so it's nice to have an apples to apples base to budget out my Optic build for 2025.
great release and good idea with panel colors. if people dont like lime green then they would have never got bought and wouldnt have been worth the price to mold. this way green is made and the smaller group of people who want it can get it. end of the day what is $30 more later on to get a different set of panels.
looks great, hopefully it will come to the U.K. asap !! No one ever has any stock, parts and tune-ups are impossible to get, I was going to get a VS-410 but out of stock for months ! 🤔
Been waiting for this! I don’t mind the random livery as long as they are all available separately. I am bummed there is no grey or variant you can dye. Pre-ordered nonetheless 🙌
Should totally send Matt his bronco back but first completely disassemble it and then “forget” to send one small but important part, like all the screws or maybe the rod ends for the links or maybe send the wrong links lol merry Christmas Matt
Awesome and scale builders guild claus said i was gettin two for rcmas this year wooooooooooooo 🤘😁🤘 P.S. i like the random livery pick, it's a good idea 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘
One of the colors would be perfect for my style. Two others would be okay. The other three are nothing I would ever buy. Too much of a gamble. Guess I'll wait until these start popping up on e-bay with the actual color listed so I'll know what I am getting.
Kit contents look great with the gearbox and axle parts but I'm kind of dissapointed with the TOF gamble. If I'm paying for a kit I want to choose, it just means I'll end up spending another $30 on the panels I want.
This style allows for lots of options to be made available. Otherwise one basic color would have to be selected and done. This allows for things to be more diverse.
So now that you have the orange one. Are you going to design a back lid to look like the supra wing and lights like you did on the praise wheel smoky build?
The LCG is the newest thing. But…. Not interested in making it too easy. We have a group of crawlers that all run c channels with straight axles 10th scale. Most were RTR and the rest were kits. But of course the RTR’s were modified. Kits are the way to go because you’ll change everything anyway. Waiting on straight axle c channels if any of the good manufacturers are listening.
I'm sure your and Matt's kit were about as random as the paul/Tyson fight was legit haha, but there should be some advantage to working with the company.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in one of the Vanquish live streams it was you that said Vanquish would probably not release a kit of the H10? And here we are, only a few months later ...
People should know that we will not say if we are or are not releasing a product. Projects like this take 6+ months, but we won’t say anything until the release.
No hard feelings, just sayin' ... th-cam.com/video/16t1z91_YnE/w-d-xo.html Should have known better since both of you could not look us straight into the eyes while answering the question about a kit 😂
people can still build, but there are many ridiculous toy grade kits not worth the time to spend on it, people like me want some proper complexity, at least 2 speed and diff lockers, thats the reason i am away from crawler hobby for some time now, building models from Lesu and not looking back
That's too bad. I would have rather had the kit. This is the one marketing ploy in the industry that upsets me. If a company is going to release both, just announce coming soon. " Instead, kit normally comes 2nd. knowing the kit guys may buy a 2nd. one after the RTR is already bought.
We asked for it yes, but not for someone else to pick the color of the body
There’s no way you randomly ended up with orange lol
Wonder if each colour has a different bar code?
I 😂 when he said he randomly got orange, there's no way in H3LL Josh wasn't getting an orange one.

The paul walker supra livery goes so hard!!! Tuna on white no crust!
@christopherbouman160 i like your hat! Is that Reynolds or great value foil
Dude I almost had you!
@@tylerboss5453 externalization of the hierarchy.
@@rud3y1 you almost had me? You never had your car!
I live my life a scale News update at a time
I’ve been excited to try an Optic, but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet. I’m glad I waited! I’m excited for this kit!
I was waiting for this since the RTR came out Josh. Thanks for making a real kit version available for us builders! My order is already in at Amain hobbies
Great to see the Kit version is finally out! Been waiting for this since the RTR was released. My Pre-order is in! Can’t wait to see which one I get.
This is what I have been waiting for. I only buy kits and its getting harder and harder to find good kits to build.
Always loved the paint jobs in the original movie, they were done by Troy Lee designs and that guy sure does know his shzt.
i love the fast and furious stickers.
So glad to hear the gears are machined!

Nice kit. This will be my next purchase. I have enough TRX4's and SCX10's
Called it. HUGE 👍 on that box art
There will always be one thing that is true about a kit you can make it whatever you like , your going to build it your way regardless .
Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍
I just can't bring myself to buy something without knowing exactly what I'm getting.
You can always paint them?

It’s the best radio that I DONT recommend to most people. So powerful, but such a high threshold of knowledge to function.
@HarleyDesignsInc I'm an FPV pilot so I'm very familiar with the openTX firmware. I love my x1c, just need your F360 skills.
You kinda can't order your wheels until you open your kit
Black fits all 😜
My thoughts exactly 🫤
Yeah my black 2.2 battleborns will work with any of those liveries💪
I would have to buy the kit first I like things to flow and the wheels make as big of difference as the paint does , the wrong set of wheels can break a build .
That looks amazing and a lot of fun!
Wow that looks so sick Josh!!

That won’t be adjusted. But panels will be available separately.
@@HarleyDesignsIncstill another epic vanquish rig. 10.43/10
11 if it had machined transmission gears
Just purchased mine today can’t wait to see what livery I get.
Those rocks are crunchy! And that Optic is jumpy! Fun run for sure!

i was literally on the vanquish site last night tryin to part out a kit, this is awesome!
Man, I want that kit, but I'm not into gambling. Will wait to see if they come along individually so I can pick the color.
You can always paint them?
The color sets will be available separately later but the kit will always be sold this way.
great release and good idea with panel colors. if people dont like lime green then they would have never got bought and wouldnt have been worth the price to mold. this way green is made and the smaller group of people who want it can get it. end of the day what is $30 more later on to get a different set of panels.
I like it. It’s like a mystery box, but only better.
Rocking that Brian Earl Spilner livery!!
Every time I order a new kit, you guys drop something. Lol
So many good spots around Folsom Lake!
About time kits all the way 👌
Cool idea. Just pre-ordered for a winter build
Would have been sweet to have two steering axles and a lockout for the rear if wanted.
Lockouts on steering axles are tacky! Wheelie King vibes! 😁😁
@ agreed. Just trying to build a case for a 4ws kit🤣
One downside is there’s no grey option for the cage. Great to see a kit version. So glad I hadn’t bought the RTR yet.
The FATF Supra livery with the remote in hand, priceless.
D-bag is shocks, now there's a coincidence
Yes, I have been waiting for this 😀
I love the Chrome in this livery!
looks great, hopefully it will come to the U.K. asap !! No one ever has any stock, parts and tune-ups are impossible to get, I was going to get a VS-410 but out of stock for months ! 🤔
Schumacher is now distributing in the UK.
@@HarleyDesignsInc Thanks, just had a look, only one item from 13 in stock !😏
@@YakAlien they are distributing to 200+ stores so a lot of their inventory will go to shops around the UK.
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Been waiting for this! I don’t mind the random livery as long as they are all available separately. I am bummed there is no grey or variant you can dye. Pre-ordered nonetheless 🙌
dumb question, but what's a good overall spur pinion for a fusion on this so it'll crawl decently?
The stock setup is perfect for a fusion. Thats what is running in this video.
@@HarleyDesignsInc So it does come with a pinion gear for the motor and a spur for the trans?
Hey Josh, any chance we will see a standard style vfd skid for the stubby conversion so I can put a stubby in my portal swapped optic?
I just ordered mine as well. I hope for the rare carbon fiber H10. What brass knuckles are a good fit for it? I see Treal or Meus on Amazon.
Sick kit, love that its random! What are you gonna do for a tire insert for a more permanent set-up?
Should totally send Matt his bronco back but first completely disassemble it and then “forget” to send one small but important part, like all the screws or maybe the rod ends for the links or maybe send the wrong links lol merry Christmas Matt
Oh lord I hope the variant is aluminum panels.
Who knows, but I bet that it will be beyond what anyone could have expected.
Yeah baby
What foams do you recommend for this wheel tire setup?
Hi Josh,can i install dig and selectable servos like my Phoenix kit on this baby!!??
The random color is so kickasssss.!!!!
IS THAT A SUPRA!!!????!?!?!
that is a cool way to release a kit interesting
F&F orange👍
You got my favorite one, I just hope I don't get the black one.🤞
You got orange and Matt got girlie blue and you want us to believe that was random? 🤔
Glad to finally see an H10 kit! Immediate order.
That’s awesome!!! Wonder if universal will send a copyright strike on the Supra livery 😂
Might paint mine like the R34 love me some silver and blue!
We made sure to change everything about it. It’s just got the inspiration. The orange is even different 😁
Son of a beeeeeeep guess im ordering another truck lol
What foams do you need for the 2.2 wheels do you stretch the 1.9 foams ?
Will a fusion se fit in this rig ?
Awesome and scale builders guild claus said i was gettin two for rcmas this year wooooooooooooo 🤘😁🤘
P.S. i like the random livery pick, it's a good idea 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘
H10 Optic Wheel of Fortune

@HarleyDesignsInc I can see the logic, I'd personally prefer a £30 cheaper kit and a choice of panels to buy at the same time.
I’m over trying to talk myself outta buying 6 at once lmao 🤣
So now that you have the orange one. Are you going to design a back lid to look like the supra wing and lights like you did on the praise wheel smoky build?
I hadn't even considered that but I love the idea!
Is it Fast and Furious or Slow and Curious? Awesome release!
Dang guy cut the chassis😂
Ahh looks like josh is seeing that 2.2’s are becoming popular again 😂😂
I will be buying myself one for my birthday lol
When will Vanquish do a short course trophy truck or monster truck? 😅
Random color is a bummer.
I`ll wait until I can get the specific one that I want, I don`t gamble with my money.
The LCG is the newest thing. But…. Not interested in making it too easy. We have a group of crawlers that all run c channels with straight axles 10th scale. Most were RTR and the rest were kits.

Needs orange shock accessories.
@elementrc this is how you bag a kit. Well this and reference it in the manual.
shoulda used matts radio
I wish this woulda came out like 2 months sooner. Because all of the stuff it doesn't come with I replaced anyway. :(
I bet the exclusive is a sbg livery.
So I guess we make two orders with Vanquish to color match wheels. Neat move Vanquish.
Wonder if they will offer the panels in the kit colors too like with the RTR panels
Joe ropes is a great lanyard
Remember the Buster! Passed November 30, 2013
I'm sure your and Matt's kit were about as random as the paul/Tyson fight was legit haha, but there should be some advantage to working with the company.
Random!
Amazing!!!! Thank you,
Yes!!! Real hobbyist still want to build their own and not buy RTR's out of the paper....
so why did you and Matt spec the trucks the same other than tires and radio?
I haven't watched Matt's yet. We haven't discussed it, just a setup we both like.
I like how you dont know what you're getting for color and graphics. That's very vanquish of you.
I think you had a little pull to end up with orange ? 😂
“Sheer chance”
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in one of the Vanquish live streams it was you that said Vanquish would probably not release a kit of the H10? And here we are, only a few months later ...

Ordering mine on Friday! Can’t wait to build another kit!
