Vanquish VS4-10 Pro First Look & Review

[@reefsrc]

Great video! Great build!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks very much!

[@tacticalmattfoley]

I love your servos.

[@jhawk1985]

Best and strongest servos on the market !

[@Gorealawarfare]

Any truck in the right hands can change the game! Well said bruddah!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks David!

[@Shimstock74]

As soon as I saw the paint I had flashbacks to 1989 picking up my freshly painted Tamiya King Cab from the local hobby shop. It's still mostly stock with a custom machined diff housing and it's hanging on my wall. It cost about $700 CAD back then and I just spent the same on a new SCX10-2 thirty years later so I guess we can't really complain about prices these days.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Those were the good old days.

[@flintTC]

I finally got one. The Element builders kit was my first truck. Then a TRX4 sport kit and then an SCX10ii Cherokee kit. Now I have a VS410 pro. My garage is now complete. I may do a custom flat rail build next, but I’m happy for now.

[@drjavogel]

"The second most horrible thing is building shocks." The first, then, is rebuilding shocks? Agreed. Nice, thorough review Matt. Thanks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

First is building links!!

[@eriksapien4528]

If I had the money this would be my dream rig for sure

[@scalebuildersguild]

Save your pennies.

[@andrewwhite2863]

I'm looking at getting one this fall. The only thing that I will change on it are the shocks. I'm looking at getting the proline pro scaler shocks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Also a good shock.

[@Chris_Bumpus]

Yes NO MORE BODY ClIPS!!!! Love the paint man! Takes me back to my childhood rc days!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'd like to see that truck get re-re'd!

Just got one from tof. Very excited to figure out what to put in it. Got the dig as a bonus.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Enjoy it!

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Fantastic video, great build, excellent information! Thanks for sharing. I have to agree - I've been wondering for years now when will the clips and posts go away on the scale trucks...seems like never haha, but I still have my fingers crossed and hope someone innovates in that area.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I’m hoping it happens. Axial did it with the UMG, so it can be done!

[@pwrofgrayskull]

NICE! I haven't looked too close at the UMG and have yet to see one in the wild, so that's good to hear. Manufacturers just need to take the time to be creative with that part of their designs.

[@jb3161]

I got the other vs 410 last year when vanquish had 20% off.I still haven't ran it yet but I thought about putting the redcat scout body on because it covers the wheels.. but at that price ,you cant beat it, cause it takes almost 500 bucks to build a set of currie axles.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Could be interesting!

[@AdventureQuest4x4]

Ihave to agree with you Matt, Definitely the best release of 2019. Vanquish definitely does their homework and are spot on with everything they release. Love the paint job! Awesome video and very in depth review👌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Could not agree more! Thanks for your feedback!

Oh, great paint job and truck name, btw..no pressure, just a short vid per day will suffice. Perhaps more teasing of our favorite Dancing Rider fan..that really was therapeutic.

[@criminal__8615]

I wish you would do a build on the vanquish to bring it line with class 1.

Swap the tires, and you're done!

[@awe_rc8380]

the color grade is fantastic!..... Great work as always!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@PhiddyPford]

4.75 tires make a huge difference , thats the VXTs shortcoming....... VP needs to sell a good variety of springs, like associated, traxxas do. Im waiting for the new bumpers!

[@scalebuildersguild]

VP sells the springs now, all of them together. It doesn't sound like much, but .10" makes a huge difference. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

[@TimberWolf429]

So, here's a great question, what are your opinions on the Cross Demon SU4-C?

[@scalebuildersguild]

I’ll have to take a closer look, but it doesn’t look like something I’d normally want to get. Cross has done a great job with their 12th scale military stuff, but not sure about their trail trucks.

[@TimberWolf429]

@@scalebuildersguild you should take a look, the Demon is a fully scaled out truck, even has a full interior

[@scalebuildersguild]

I've seen it, but it doesn't look very robust to me.

[@TimberWolf429]

@@scalebuildersguild I can admit that the trans does seam a little weak, but it's a truck built more for the raw scale driving. Any smart off roader in a real truck, isn't just going to throttle out of everything. And the truck really does force you to pick your lines. Also, the flagship model, version C has all the upgrades in the box, aluminum axles, and all.

[@RUSERIOUS76]

I am eagerly awaiting my Pro kit. I also sourced another pair of axles for my origin rig as well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You will not be disappointed.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cheers!

[@nicholasbarber4193]

I can't wait to get mine soon! Great work on getting the sweet little SBG stickers into so many kits nowadays. OD will also help with turning radius, but not a ton since it's only 6.5%; I usually don't notice a huge difference in turning radius until probably about 15 - 20% OD, but regardless, OD is the way to go and I'm glad they added it. That tire and wheel combo is almost identical to what I have on No Vaseline, and they work awesome on those trucks! Great choice on the Reef's, I love all of mine. The body clips and the fact the holes are precut definitely always bums me out, I HATE BODY CLIPS. lol

[@scalebuildersguild]

There’s a strong likelihood that you will be able to get the body separate without any holes. VP is also going to offer more OD options soon!

[@nicholasbarber4193]

Both things I like to hear that Dan has failed to mention to me. lol

[@joweemac]

[@WSquared60]

One of your best vids, Matt...your expanding experience continues to show, and I don't even have to translate the Canadian anymore :-) Couldn't agree more on body posts, kinda disappointed this body comes with pre-existing post holes. Won't stop me from buying one tho!

[@robbythornal8291]

Is it possible to shorten the wheel base on the pro kit?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Of course! Just change the link length in the rear. It may be necessary to move shock posts and drill some new holes, but that shouldn't be a big deal.

[@robbythornal8291]

@@scalebuildersguild I just got one and I had an idea to put my MFab bronco body on it because I haven't seen anyone do that yet.
