First rig I bought was the vs410 Phoenix straight axle, did a rock pirate interceptor chassis build on it. Then I got the vrd and did a rock pirate kraken build on it.(looking into a new chassis) I just recently got the h10 and have been upgrading it. Love the vanquish products, and upgrades. Great quality.
I started buying VP’s sense the Phoenix kit came out, these days I have the straight axle kit, the Falken edition, and now there is a straight axle builder kit that been added to the fleet. Thank you for the knowledge drop on their products.
I have an “ultra” coming in with a VP 3 gear in it. Still has the F9 portals in clear anodized. Extremely curious how it will do with a Fusion SE 1800kv in it
45 years in the RC hobby and only ever seen two or three dozen Vanquish vehicles. They are just not making it into Australia in large numbers. I am tempted but it seems the company can’t keep up with parts for the American market which makes me nervous. No true Vanquish dealers down under and the Sydney shops don’t seem to be able to get a better price than anyone else shopping on the internet. It would seem Vanquish is killing the local Australian hobby shop with their approach to marketing?
Vanquish is definitely stronger in their own region. In the 90's I became a Schumacher dealer because I was racing them locally and none of my hobby stores carried Schumacher. These smaller RC companies generally only get global reach from a determined dealer. Will be interesting to see how they grow, When I got my first Vanquish I didn't know the name. My crawling buddy knew of it only from watching TH-cam and we reside in the same country as Vanquish. Now our local hobby store carries Vanquish. They're growing....
As an owner of several Vanquish kits in Australia, You are worried over nothing. Hardly anything breaks, and my Trucks of Freedom took less than a week to arrive to me in Brisbane.. Sure the parts and kits will be more expensive with shipping and Aussie dollar but if you really want one go for it.. it's only 6 to 10 days away. Cheers
I'm not sure what you mean by killing Aussie hobby shops.? If they become a Vanquish dealer they get a better price, as with any dealership comes a commitment.. OZ is such a splash in the ocean as far as Hobby sales of any brand, why most hobbyshops here stock cheap Chinese rebrands and a few Traxxas kits from a couple of wholesaleers/ dealers I'm lucky and have OzRc close by and is a pretty cool shop with excellent range of everything.. as well as a few other stores
@@mickd8188 Perhaps killing is the wrong word as it implies intent to harm? Can you imagine buying a ford directly from the ford factory ? And being able to source the ford / Chevy at the same price as a local dealership . What motivation would there be to buy from the dealership? Not sure if you are aware of what has been announced recently with Trek bicycles but they are planning on selling directly to individuals. At the risk of sounding like an old man I remember only 25 years ago having 6 model/ hobby shops in town. Now it’s a long drive to Sydney and the retail stores are a shadow of their former glory. Short answer retail is not what it used to be.
