I like your sway bar setup. Lots of RH design goodness there. I've been running the Vanquish AR60 v2s on my SMT10 for over 2 years now. Pair them with the clamping lock-outs and Chub and knuckle and its bulletproof. VP makes the best stuff bar-none
Nice! Building mine now. Started with bare chassis. Xr274 axles. Munition wheels and tires. 100a brushless blx 100 arrma combo. Gpm links. King replica shocks. Kyx driveshafts. Sway bars front and rear similar to this.
this video was awesome what drive shafts did you end up using, Im trying to upgrade from my plastic ones. I see you have nice aluminum or hardend ones.
Great video and all great points both positive and negative! Vanquish axles housing I think are expensive. I've read great things about the $20 axle housing on ebay. Gonna be ordering a pair for both my gen 1 GD and my builders kit.
Good video, direct and to the point. I`m new the MT scene and your rig has a great look, I like how you did your shock and swaybar location. What advantage does the swaybar serve being higher like that ?
Mainly just for scale appearance. A sway bar in general is basically required on these trucks for handling but the location isn't super important unless you are racing, but then you can get into a whole bunch of other things too. I've played around with different sway bar locations and haven't seen a performance advantage in any particular location
I`ve been into crawlers but now I`m hooked on building an SMT up. Thanks for the info

Thank You! So far I'm enjoying the Vanquish housing setup. It took awhile for me to jump on them because of the cost, but I'm happy with them.

Thank you! That's how I started out too actually, just a bare chassis and added everything else
This is a really good video. Very informative and positive. Thank you.

Thank you!! I'm running MIP driveshafts, great upgrade from stock.
Best review of this truck ive seen. Thanks!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Yup! This is the truck for me!
Nice looking truck, it's going to be a lot stronger with those axels 👍👍👊👊
Thanks! I've been wanting to get them for a while and finally bit the bullet.

Thanks! I read some mixed reviews on the cheap housings so I decided to save up and buy the vanquish stuff. So far I'm happy!
Nice Bro, very nice!
Thanks!

thanks for the vid im a big fan of the SMT10
Thank you!
Boom racing makes affordable axle housings I have the ar44s and they are phenomenal
I've seen their axles before. I just figured if I was going aluminum I was gonna go all out!
What 4link bars are you using and is that still factory wheelbase?
In this video I was running the cpe links but I've since switched to Incision links. And yes, still factory wheelbase
The axel and diff you upgraded it, is it shorter than the original?
I have the Incision link kit. I believe its still factory wheelbase.
Nice review 👍so just buy the chassis separately and then get all the upgrades 👌
That's definitely what I would do if I were building another one.
Love the truck. But I already stripped the hex in 3 of the included wheels :(
Ouch! I've been really happy with my Jconcepts wheels!
@@FullThrottleRC Yeah Ill probably end up buying those ones.
What hex drivers are you using?
MIP. Can't recommend them enough!
👍🏽🐒🇺🇸
