A Vanquish Capra! I want a kit version so I don't have to replace the electronics right out of the box. (time passes) okay, fine... I pre-ordered one. Sigh.
Love the B roll during the review. Much better than just looking at the truck on the bench. This is how I would do it and have wanted youtubers to do it this way.
This rig looks amazing, but what was going on with the wadded up rear tire? Slipped bead? Either way, really excited to see you run this with a little more weight down low and better wheels/tires. Looks a bit tippy in stock form.
Another cracking yet honest review. To be fair to shocks... I'm yet to have a pair of standard shocks be 100% oil tight. Most aftermarket shocks I have are no better either.
I run most my rigs with battery on one slider I’ve never noticed a difference on a scale it probably shows up but it drives fine. You can put a pack in each door to even it out
Great video Logan, This truck looks amazing and I'm pumped its just going to be a new model for the future because I'm waiting for the ripper 2 because that truck is gonna blow up my 24 RC Budget lol I know you said you had an abundance of new cut-N-shuts on the way so I hope this truck helps you move every single one of them. Optic with riot 2.2's and cut'N-shuts is going to RIP!
Great honest trustworthy review! I ordered the sparco version and already got tracking info. Maybe a vortex optic livery, glad to see it’s legal for Josh in Cali 😉
Excellent video and review …as usual! I just got my Optic the other day…..decent performer out of the box….if you don’t belly out. …fusion pro and a NSDRC servo will be electronic improvements …..taller tires in the future ..
Ahhh shit what do we have here. Just when I’ve owned em all I thought and felt content on not buying another 😂….will see about that can’t wait to watch thanks sir!
0:39 it would really help if you actually showed us what you are talking about. it looks like a spot you drive your crawlers so i could only assume you have/had it in your hands
I hope they offer up a builders kit or something...would love to own one but I would immediately have to add the costs of a good brushless system and that 200 in oz steering servo would have to go as well....the radio would go in a box on a shelf so I could stuff my own gear in..
@@themountain59 You know I already have a capra system and a ecto system in boxes ready to sell cheap...radios motors and esc's...want my paypal addy ? 🥴
I wanna be excited with everyone else about this but i just can't. It's missing something. For this price i feel like it's pretty bland. If it had a decent brushless system and was capable of a little higher speed fun or came with 4ws. Just something. What am i missing? What's this gonna be better at than a VRD? Is it all about the look? I think I'd prefer the Losi jeep (Rock Rey?) that was just on sale or a Super Rock Rey for a few dollars more. They have the performance to match the look. This seems to just be a crawler that looks like a KOH rig. Also wish it was bigger, i feel like the large scale market is very ignored by everybody.
Really dig my Vanquish trucks! Really hate my Vanquish shocks... come on guys you need to figure this one out!!
They're just awful!
It's like they hired the guy who does Axials shocks when they should have hired they guy that does Traxxas shocks
@@patrikmoller3643 I've always had good luck with axial shocks..

Haha I felt the same way and ordered one as well!

Agreed👍
Now we need a kit version.
A kit with 4ws and the transmission with selectable OD :)
My brother! I popped in just to leave this exact comment. LoL.
If there be a kit, I'll be a buying.
Im guessing itll be as popular as the capra. This rig has limitless potential.
Great review!
Always loved you content, it's inspiring.
Personally I rather have the Phoenix.. so saving for that.
Hmm... I am building another custom crawler kit. I wonder how those axles would do?
I bet that grey cage could be dyed like the ryft kit cages! That would change everything, get new body panels and really change it up
Hope vanquish does a rock bouncer next and give the Ryft some good competition.

Have a red one arriving Friday. Couldn't help myself. Looks like such a cool truck.
Glad to see you got to be one of the first to review. Question, does that side mounted battery adversely alter the balance of the rig?

definitely make some 5.25 yokohama. i made some and they look great. would look better with a bigger tire at that wheelbase

So glad to see this one. Anxious to see your mods in action.
Excellent video and review …as usual!

i would have liked to see this truck come equipped with the dig unit. and the hurtz dig unit is sold out every time i check
Hope these axles become available separately.
Sweet mother ...they really hit it out of the park with that one .
i fixed my oil leaks- running with no oil at all, but grease a bit, kinda friction shocks, not the same but definitelly not that bad
Ahhh shit what do we have here. Just when I’ve owned em all I thought and felt content on not buying another 😂….will see about that can’t wait to watch thanks sir!
Awesome vid mate and looks like Sydney likes it as much as I’m shore we all will👍🇦🇺
Nice work on introducing that new rig!
Great review man! Can't wait till mine comes in!!
Terrific review. Very informative and thorough. Thank you Logan.
Man, I want one. Too bad I just dropped 2k on PC parts, lol.
Very cool video liking this rig a lot. 4ws would make this amazing
I figured/hoped this was coming. Just wish I didn’t have to buy another rig
So do you think this might be the start of a “ripper 2” lite? Mine is already on order.
Well guess I'll get my first vanquish
This thing is so rad! Time to sell some more rigs and pick one of these up!
Sweet ride, great infomation, thanks bro, be safe !!!!!
Nice video. Look forward to see what you do with it!
0:39 it would really help if you actually showed us what you are talking about. it looks like a spot you drive your crawlers so i could only assume you have/had it in your hands
He literally showed a picture of it seconds after.
Great review Logan! Thanks
Awesome video as always, what’s wrong with the rear left tire?
Tires weren’t vented and it wrapped up on the foam
Nice video. What's up with the rear tires? Did you run it bone stock? Looks like squid inserts.
Bone stock, tires were not vented and they wrapped around the foam
Looks sick! Let’s hear that review video …
Nice overview
Great break down! Lots of technical stuff!
So is this a rock crawler or rock racer?
Whichever you turn it into. Box stock it’s a crawler it’s slow
Wanna see this compared to the RC4WD.
To what RC4WD?
@@westdesertwheeler a 1 on 1 with a stock Capra would a cool comparison
so jealous is your terrain!
this rc is what the capra should have been, optic-capra 1:0
Here we go!
What do you think is better the redcat ascent fusion or this vanquish
what's wrong with the back left tire?
Should I wait for a kit? 🤔
I hope they offer up a builders kit or something...would love to own one but I would immediately have to add the costs of a good brushless system and that 200 in oz steering servo would have to go as well....the radio would go in a box on a shelf so I could stuff my own gear in..
You know you can sell things online nowadays, right?😝
@@themountain59 You know I already have a capra system and a ecto system in boxes ready to sell cheap...radios motors and esc's...want my paypal addy ? 🥴
Rc Capra 4 wheel steer is that better than the vanquish?
Is that modeled after a real buggy !
Obvious Capra comparison needed.
No kit 😢
I need one!

5.25 Yokohama for sure
Kit?
Just ordered mine... looks like your shocks are leaking already in this video.... hopefully mine dont...
Literally wrapped up lol
"It puts the motor forward and low" (as read by buffalo bill) 😁🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Great video ..
$500 for sintered gears? So much for VP quality... 😢
Available late October for the average joe
They’re available now from vanquish
@@westdesertwheeler They are not available they are available for preorder and ETA mid June 24
@@brettskinner5824 They started shipping them out Tuesday dude.
Great video!!!
Its just asking for a reefs livery!
crap vanquish stop making such cool crap, I only have so much hobby money to spend
😞 so much stuff to buy
I decided the kids don’t need all that college money. Dad needs a new Vanquish. 😂
Cant wait to see a footage of you running this in 4ws
I'ma buy it just cuz it's got a gun thing in the name. Me loves gunz!!!!!!!
That comment is just sad😎
Oof. I need one!
Good review
Garbage shox as usual and sintered gears,,wtf?
No dig?
Kit with a dig then maybe.
Im sure Horizon will own Vanquish at some point.
HI SIR IM LIKING WHAT YOUR SHOWING. THANKS FOR INFO. IM SOLD 🇬🇧🇺🇲✌🏼🤩
So then it wasn’t Darth Vader. 😂
First review I watched on this truck 🛻 . Congratulations on your full size buggy very impressive
Vanquish shocks suck
