I really enjoy the three other reviewers that I watched that reviewed this and there content, and no doubt that Vanquish is top notch, but finally, someone shows it turn over, and points out some "issues', as opposed to all praise. Keep up the good content.
Vanquish knocking it out the park.. makes answering the question of what rig to buy to get into class 2 crawling comps. In either flavour RTR or kit this is a solid kit that performs out the box. Even for the guy who had multiple high end builds that has a mate who wants to just buy in and go crawling, how easy.. and its a legit performer. Great video Greg, what a cool spot to chill and flatten a battery. Happy New Year mate👍🇦🇺
@@buysncharge I agree.., just finished building my kit, still have body & paint to go, I am building the wheels/tyres as I type this. Happy New Year to me🤣😁
Great thorough review as always, very much appreciated! I’m not in the comp scene whatsoever, but it looks like Vanquish just added an outstanding crawler option to the market and this truck is now at the top of my shopping list. 👍✌️
I appreciate the comp scene, but I enjoy going out on my own more at this point in my RC life and when a rig works this well, it makes the drive time so much more enjoyable.
It' worth noting, originally the truck was going to have 6% OD when the trucks were released to testers, but they are now shipping with 24%. The difference is the rear portals now have underdrive instead of standard gearing.
Good video sir. I cannot think of another rig in this price range that can beat the Stance if both are in their box stock configuration. I’m loyal to no brand …. but FINALLY an out of box crawler that doesn’t require immediate upgrades. Also I have a RTR that I can suggest to beginners to get and have a pretty good rig to instantly enjoy the hobby. Thank you Vanquish 👏🏻. Now let’s pray other companies follow suit 🤞🏻
Of the three videos I've seen on the truck you definitely were more analytical of it, the other two gushed a little more over the truck. I think you are the unlucky one with the one leaky shock from what I have seen. Always a solid review Greg.
Wow great review and very capable RTR Comp Crawler. As you said pity about the nut not being a flanged nut and a leaking shock is not acceptable when you pull it out of the box. Thanks for another great review and start to 2024! 🎉👍🏼
Looks awesome, I like Vanquish products, but gotta say my RTR Phoenix had 3 out of four shocks leaking out of the box, Vanquish did send me 4 rebuild kits....Was that a fix 🤔
I agree. After shutting the cameras down, I stayed to play even though it was cold. The rig works really well and I had to get some more wheel time in!
Amain usually has new Vanquish stuff live on their site when it’s released. Guess their new year’s party was a little wild and they’re running late getting it posted. 😂
I guess the only down fall rtr compared to the kit is the machined gears ⚙️, I don’t think the carbon chassis is an advantage. We want more weight low right now
Got nothing on my v1 gen 8 with a hw1080 😂😂😂, I like the crawling just don’t have the environment , one day I went to the beach, broke both crawlers on the jagged rocks ripped my hydrax tire on good ol piece rebar. So yea 😂
@@shaynejenkins446 no ya I know nothing red cat has the crawler scene on notice, in all seriousness I bet this was a product entailed from that release . Competition is good
A out of place o ring or a loose cap during assembly can happen. Those shocks usually never leak. The wheel nut issue needs to be addressed and im sure it will be by the next batch.
@shaynejenkins446 redcat Ascent goes for 299 US cheaper than the Axial pro. I can upgrade the tires, inserts and get a hobbywing fusion pro, and still come in under the 499 vanquish platform and have a better performing rig then the stock vanquish.

One of those other reviewers works for vanquish, the other is his best friend. Lol

Carbon kit

The local course is saying this rig is eligible for box stock smh….
Looks really cool, and a good performer right out of the box.

This one might get me back into crawling... $499 not a bad price either! Good video 💪🏾
😂
What got you out of crawling?
Wow 😮 7:32 glad I am picking up one today! Should be a blast!
Sick Greg!

Wow..wow very very best rc car VRD❤
A comparison of the VP RTR rigs would be cool to see just how different their capabilities are. 🙂
Nice footage
Wow great review and very capable RTR Comp Crawler. As you said pity about the nut not being a flanged nut and a leaking shock is not acceptable when you pull it out of the box. Thanks for another great review and start to 2024! 🎉👍🏼
Does seem pretty capable out there. Great location.
what a face in the opening shot😂👍 awesome Greg
That was my serious yet still in my own happy little world face. LOL
Another great video although if the waters up, isn't it time for the ProBoat Jetstream again
Great review. Love that Box Art and everything too very cool 💯
Nice rtr rig😀🤙
Agreed! I enjoyed the drive!
Yeah that thing is just great for the price point.
Thanks for the video that's my next truck
Same! My first!
Where can I get that little sticker of the stick man driving the RC on the back of the the window of that truck.
I've seen it come with decals from redcat, vanquish, and a few other brands.
Looks awesome, I like Vanquish products, but gotta say my RTR Phoenix had 3 out of four shocks leaking out of the box, Vanquish did send me 4 rebuild kits....Was that a fix 🤔
Oh man. So glad I waited on picking up the ascent.Not that it’s bad it’s good but this is great. 👍🏼
Redcat did a really good job on theirs and for the price, people will enjoy it. The VRD rig just feels more refined, precise and predictable.
Very impressive for a rtr looks like they did there home work on this one👌
I agree. After shutting the cameras down, I stayed to play even though it was cold. The rig works really well and I had to get some more wheel time in!
Nice rig. Not crazy bout the vs410. But this, yes !
Looks fantastic. Similar to the SCX 10 Pro, but different in a better way. I love portals.
Nice video and good driving, too! Seems like great truck!
Awesome Review!!!
Thanks!! This was a one!
watching video now and that leaking shock looks like it's missing the bleeder cap screw in top.
No, it was there. I tightened it prior to running it to see if it was the cause of the leak.
The tires look really big for that truck maybe some 4.19??????
hi, do you know what kind of connector goes with the stance?
You’ll need a battery with an XT-60 connector.
@@rcdriver i have i few lipos dean T, which connector do i need? do you have a link
maybe?
Extend the rear links 4mm!
you links don't work for me, i don't know if it's on my end or yours. the truck looks sweet, im gonna have to look it up, i think i need it
i couldt find it either
Amain usually has new Vanquish stuff live on their site when it’s released. Guess their new year’s party was a little wild and they’re running late getting it posted. 😂
Good looking crawler , who’s going buy the red cat guy now ? , I’d like to sell my crawlers and buy this guy myself .

Will my Salt Water Flies work over there ? Oh yeah, the Truck is cool .
Perhaps, I've never seen anyone pull anything out of the water here lol! And agreed!
A leaking shock and nuts that wreck wheels are inexcusable at $200 and outlandish at $500.
A out of place o ring or a loose cap during assembly can happen. Those shocks usually never leak. The wheel nut issue needs to be addressed and im sure it will be by the next batch.
I hate to say this, but did you know you are on a Facebook video / website offering a discount arma truck
I have a screen shot of it if you need to see it
Ugh, that happens a lot. Thanks for the notice. If you can send that photo to the RC Driver FB page, it would be much appreciated!
@@rcdriverOverdrive is 24% just watched vanquish livestream.
Anyone else think it looks like a 2nd gen dodge ram in the front
1994-01 front end. Remeber the sidewinder prototype?
Yes. Exactly what I thought!
My first thought too @DaPandas_Rcs
Just watched a vanquish livestream, overdrive is 24% box art shows 6% from what I've watched.
Ah, I didn’t get that info and went by the box. Bonus for those buying I guess. 😄
I wish I had rocks and water. I live in the desert 😢
It’s crazy to me that the ascent will still go places this will not
I have an ascent pretty well upgraded and it keeps up with my buddies new vanquish
Yea, those wheel nuts are super cheesy. I wouldn't buy it just for that!
Don’t know if I’d go that far lol. Technically 83 cents worth of M8 washers would fix it.
Here so no one says first
You have become the thing you set out to destroy!
Next!
No one except for you. You know what you were doing.
Price is out to lunch for what you get. Rather go with the RedCat Acent.
@shaynejenkins446 redcat Ascent goes for 299 US cheaper than the Axial pro. I can upgrade the tires, inserts and get a hobbywing fusion pro, and still come in under the 499 vanquish platform and have a better performing rig then the stock vanquish.
@@PeterCPRail8748 you actually believe that, right?🙄😂😂
Nope
Vanquish stance vs redcat fusion. Which 1 would u prefer? Im stuck between both😊
