Thanks Josh, very detailed look, and confirmed some of my own claims. Thank you!

I just bought this piece of art....it’s so worth the money just building and seeing the genius that went into this build is amazing! Matt and Josh have really brought me into this area of the hobby and it’s so much fun 🤩

[@bigmiketamayo2668]

You know what would be awesome is to do a “meet and greet” video with everyone from vanquish. it be nice to meet the team! I always assumed you owed Vanquish. I can’t speak for everyone but it be great meet everyone behind your guys’ stellar products. Awesome video as always Josh. ✊🏽

[@jamesbowles4369]

Josh, this is Lucky here in KC. My wife is getting the VS4-10 Pro for me this Christmas. I can't wait to build it. Several of us in KCRC will b3e running the new rigs this year. Thanks to Vanquish for the great products they offer and thanks to you for the great videos and the support of the hobby.

[@TommyMartinMSRRC]

I have the VP axles that i had under my scx10 chassis. I decided to purchase the VS4-10 chassis kit and im glad I did. It's a big performance improve. Love it.

[@ratlme]

Josh, thanks again for the great detailed info of the truck. Can not wait to get one. Have said this before and will again, this is by far the Best trail truck on the market and thanks to you and Vanquish for working on such a great quality truck. Been following both you and Matt's builds of the Trx 4's but, this truck has them all beat. Great Job Vanquish and it's employees for such an Awesome rig. B Leytham

[@Loafina7or]

I won the vs4-10 pro kit in the supershafty raffle. I've watched this video at least 10 times. Lol

[@whendeathdeclareswar7458]

Leo Sanchez hahahahhaha

[@MikelangeloPhoto]

Congrats!! I wanted to win that raffle so bad! lol... I just ordered one and also am watching this multiple times! lol

[@moosejawrc]

Josh, your excitement of this video speaks volumes. The thought process, design, engineering into this product is off the hook. So many features! Price is what it is... which is, anyone would very easily spend more $$$ with upgrading the components of their rtr or kit to achieve what this kit offers. I will get one, but after summer and go into building mode. A great platform to replicate my fathers Scout I. (Minus leaf springs). Great product Vanquish!

[@chevyon37s]

Damn. Wish I still was into the hobby like I used to be and had time to drive them. How well thought out and performance minded this rig is, is incredible!

[@RandyChamberlin]

I couldn't justify buying one. After a year I changed my mind. Sweet rig.

[@emiller0980]

Can’t wait to pick up my pro, I wanted an origin but never got around to it. This new pro version looks absolutely amazing. You can tell lots of time and care has been taken in the design and manufacturing of this rig. I understand it’s expensive, but good Lord, the thing is bulletproof. I’m sold for sure, great job Vanquish!

[@bilymac2321]

Great video Josh. You and the rest of the crew, did a great job on this truck.

[@RCPropaganda]

The body does look really nice. Digging the orange.

[@alfredyost7972]

I just built mine. The only problem I had was my radio. I got the Spektrum Rugged radio. Mine was defective. I just could not program it. The kit builds like a Tamiya kit but with more metal parts. Also most of the metal parts are made in the USA! That is fantastic. An absolute joy to assemble.

[@andyrichey1192]

Wow what is this a awesome build, it was a lot of fun putting together, went together so smooth. Waiting on my electronics, went with the new hobby wing. Brushless combo 2300 kv. I got a feeling this is going to be my favorite trail rig. Yeah

[@deanmez6038]

I’d love one just have to wait for availability in Australia 👍👍

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Josh, congrats on a WINNER!! 🏆 You're right, not for the typical Traxxas/Aarma Basher Boy... But it's certainly a higher level of the Original, which was EPIC! I'm really hoping to be able to afford one. If only one thing happens, I can!! It reminds me of the 77 Scout II I had when I was in High School. Pulled the Top, made some cuts, and I had a strong, short Pickup. 😊 Much better than the Broncos off Road!! I really hope I can get this. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah now this is what I'm talking about . That's a awesome truck Josh. That's going to have to be my next

[@bradcowart5044]

Great video Josh! Very nice to hear all the details about what has changed! Black and orange really pops!

[@WestDesertShooter]

That truck sounds awesome! Hopefully I get the opportunity to get to try one someday

[@WSquared60]

Very detailed rundown, thanks! Glad I waited to pull the trigger on one now, this one goes higher on the gotta have list. Really appreciate the dropout third member, that's something I've been hoping to see...big selling point for ease of maintenance.

[@robertmatheny3375]

Great Video ... And looking at the videos and pics you guys killed .... Can’t wait for the 2 I bought to come

[@AZ_JTR]

Fantastic evolution of an already great platform. F9’s look amazing. Can’t wait to receive mine later this week. Great job Vanquish, I look forward to continued innovation.

[@dirtyrivrc]

These are definitely my dream rigs.... Awesome

[@moematos1785]

I like to watch & learn from your videos. Plus I get to see some cool run shots as well. I appreciate everything You said & I do understand the passion. I would be very proud to have been part of the group who came out with beautifully built machine/ a work of art that you could get ok ut there and play with it & have fun ..., well you said it very well in the video. U hit the nail on the head bro.👍

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Man, what a great look at this awesome rig... this week, these videos, yours, SBG, RC Network, and others .... really have me wanting this kit badly.... gonna start stuffing money into a mason jar, and looking around the place here for things to sell(nevermind that, only aquire toys, never sell em)... Keep up the great videos, can't wait to see the SCX10 III up and going...

[@jassonbrook6479]

I would totally own this truck, I think it is sweet! Great job Vanquish!

Thanks Vanquish for the great offerings :) Thanks for the rundown Josh.

Im going to pick up one up and use it as a class 2.0 rig in the SORRCA Lite comps we have in these parts. Im stoked I waited on getting the OG.

[@chrisallred3501]

Oh cant wait for a running video of this orange one! Amazing!

This is serial number #002 so I’m not sure if this one will see the rocks or not.

[@chrisallred3501]

Oh well that is totally understandable. But its still an awesome looking rig!

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah Josh appreciate you sharing, I'm going to get this truck, I love it. And I'll watch the different videos for reference. Love vanquish Products, Super awesome

[@manchinator7773]

Great info Josh thanks! Just ordered one, can't wait to start building!

[@gudmundursveinsson9060]

I'll probably get one sooner rather then later. Didnt plan on getting the original one but did. So same thing with this

[@edwinblakley2512]

The new transmission and the engineering of it, has to be one of the most exciting innovations that has come out since the first crawler kit. Will the transmission and skid plate assembly be available separately in the future ?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yes they will in a few months.

[@michaelhoyle2665]

Thanks for the overview Josh. I’m saving my pennies. I want one.

[@odomandr]

Looks like an amazing setup. The small detail updates are incredible. I'd love to pick one up later this year. We shall see how things pan out. I have trouble letting trucks go and I'm beginning to run out of cabinet space

[@bcrcracingnz]

That’s such an awesome kit great video makes me want one so bad

Stay with the higher quality kits, that what makes vanish special.

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

[@jamesswift4641]

Very independent,thank you,had no idea that truck was so scale👊👊

[@chrislane597]

alot of great info thanks. saving up for a vs4 makes sense to me for sure

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I will totally get one of these...in 2 or 3 years when I can find a used one. Kids have bled my wallet dry. My current hobby budget is more like your budget build, about $50 a week

[@LetUmSee]

I have the Vs4-10 origin. The Vs4-10 is cheap when you look at it in the long run. By the time you upgrade parts for a scx 10 to make it reliable and bullet proof, it ends up costing more than the price of the Vs4-10.

[@josh_rit8045]

I would rather an SCX10 fully upgraded than a stock vs410. I would be more proud of the scx10 because I made it my own.

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I spent a total of $1,100 on my first SCX10 so I know what you are talking about. Can’t do that anymore now that my kids are older. They are eating me out of my hobby.

[@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008]

You guy did your home work, A+ love your truck! I would be great to make one like that in a 1/6 scale truck for the bigger boys

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

People already cry at this price, a 1/6 would make them scream 😂

[@jasond1245]

Damm that would be 3000 dollar truck know vanquish

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah I love my Josh I really love putting it together, went together so smooth, especially that new transmission , I was out with that yesterday and the nylon locknut and bolt fell out of the pan hard bar and jab right into my best tired poked a big hole, yeah I'm bumming, can't believe that bolt fell out like that. Well part of the hobby .

[@BSalc]

Man, i like this vs410 pro.

[@michaelthomas3262]

oh yes, what a Beauty --- at the Moment i build the vs4-10 origin --- Maybe the vs4-10 pro is something for the future

[@andyhamilton2202]

Nice truck Josh. Really like the vs410, been slowing saving for one. Kids tend to suck the money right from your wallet before you even see it haha. The body is sweet 😎. Keep the goods coming buddy.

[@Legoman585]

Mine is ordered, can't wait. I had to order it from Amain there postage to Australia was about half.

The should be shipping orders out today.

Very nice rig for sure! I'd pick this or the Element

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I LOVE this Rig Josh! I can't wait for the opportunity to get one. I just WISH there could be a version of that Body WITHOUT predrilled Body Holes. My only issue. Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@billcox87]

now I'm glad I didn't get the original, unfortunately I have to wait til build season comes around ( Jan. thru April ) . I've been pretty lucky this year , as my wife has 'allowed' me to get 6 trucks so far so I guess I probably should hold off for tax return time so I can keep my balls attached and not nailed to the wall, but you can beat I WILL be getting one fo sho;)!!!!! thanx for the "review" Josh and I will be blaming my new purchase on you brother, it's all your fault ;0

[@sortafastclothing4051]

Man I really need to pick one of these up

[@rcranch3838]

I don't know maybe the twentieth time I have watched part of this video? Haha I want one!!!! Matt has a pretty Nice Truck too. Maybe I will have one some day. -Josh

[@Vanquishfanboy]

Great video!!! I super stoked to get mine!!!

[@blackdogrc2125]

Great video, and information. Hopefully some day I will be able to get one. Yes there a higher price rig but you can easily see the value. I would already have one ordered if it was at all possible lol. Some day.....

[@luiszapata7500]

Alright everyone, the VS4 10 Pro has been shipped, just got the email notification.. hell yeah!

[@66shift]

I wanted a origin model but now I'll wait till my b-day to splurge on the Pro!

I want one but the price tag 😬 time to save up this would be a nice Christmas gift to myself 👍🏽

[@carsbikestrucks17]

Cj Thompson Santa coming ?

[@nathanstewart2018]

I wish someone would make a true to scale body with a full depth interior and bed. I like using a driver and being able to use the bed to haul scale accessories. Great rig though. Man would I love to have one.

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

Wow mi FAMILIA that to me is really scale the comparison to the 1/1 is basically spot on cant wait to pick one that is on my must have to compete with AWESOME mi bro i luv the SCOUT'S as well luv the truck!!! 😀👍🤙🇺🇸💜

[@Myexoticexperience]

I'm sold.

[@charlesmsloat2578]

Wicked rig, can't wait to get one! Love what you/Vanquish are doing for the hobby! Keep up the great work and videos. Btw, is it possible to run a full depth interior in this truck?

[@hemitj]

I've liked these trucks from the get go. But now I really want one.

[@tomandrews5392]

I am on the fence about getting one but if you thing about it I have a TRX4 Tactical unit with maybe $1400.00 of $1500.00 invested ...The VS 4-10 has everything included except the dig unit so you know w the electronics is a personal preference thing and with most RC you buy that is one of the first thing to get upgraded and the servo is typically the next item ...I believe I just talked my self in to it...What motor do you think should be used? Not so much what manufacture but the kv rating ...Thank Josh ..Keep it up .Cant wait to see what the next build off is between Matt and you self ...

[@Cachapeluo]

I have a HW 540L 2100KV but if a had to buy it again I will go for a Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro 3500KV and put a lower pinion.

[@RevolutionX]

Sooner or later... I'll have one of these.

[@17madracki17]

Really Like the new version. now please build a 2.2 U-4 style rig at same level of quality and style.

[@rowinalucas7657]

I would be all over that.....

[@00godlovesus]

It's on my Christmas list:)

[@thomaswoolsey2602]

Love this. I’ll buy one as soon as I see more of the parr’s available on the vanquish site. I’m concerned that it’s not really fully supported (yet). This style of body and bumpers, for example, aren’t available on your site. Once they are I’ll throw down to own it.

[@bucksrcworld8119]

the two tone paint you have on here looks epic, truck is not in my future anytime soon, xmaxx first!!

[@johnsdad092009]

Gonna have to get it so sold on the rig.

[@CasperRc81]

Dam you sold me wow bubba nice design.

[@KS-wt9gj]

FIRST BODY PIN I SAW WAS ON A TAMIYA FROG IN 1983. AND THESE SUPPOSEDLY ADVANCED MODELS ARE STILL USING THEM 35+ YEARS LATER.

[@moosejawrc]

Also... is this video done with new Sony Camera? Looks really good

[@brianbrigg57]

Josh, good review. One thing you don't really mention though is what the weight distribution is like. I know that the VFD transmission gets the motor well forward but the battery tray has moved a long way back. How much difference does that add up to with, say, a 2200mah 3S battery in the tray?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Weight distribution will be similar to before in many cases, however the center of gravity will be lower because of the location of the motor. And with a 2200 pack I don’t install the rear tray and I just run it on the side. In that case you’re even better in both distribution and COG.

[@vincelemasurier7464]

Wow quality quality quality 👌🏼mate just keep doing what you are doing 👍🏼 My problem is black or the clear 🤔 I also have your chassis kit which is awesome just finding a body that fits the sliders properly Has been a bit of a struggle any ideas would be awesome. Just loving want you guys have achieved Keep at it lads 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@patrickbishop6296]

Hello, you guys are amazing at what you do!! Love the product's! Is a tekin 412 rock crawler motor enough for this machine? I want to do this build right. I bought 1 buy will trade it for bigger if I need to

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

ROC412 is perfect. I run the 3100kv in mine.

[@michaellopez2003]

I'm saving up to get one lol I might just have to settle for a new chassis and swapping my scx10ii axles. Lol

[@rclyfe]

if you have the 3 gear transmission, the scx10-ii axles will fit nicely. but for my case, i need the offset curry axle because i have the Vanquish VFD transmission on a the vs410 chassis kit

[@billderas3420]

Josh. A terrific review. Noticed that you called the Pro a "trailer truck". Does that mean it is better for trailing than rock crawling?

[@andrewross6079]

If you was building this for performance what motor would you recommend?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Everyone’s idea of performance may vary, some will say that the low speed of brushed may be the best for them but I prefer brushless. A Holmes Hobbies 2700 Puller Pro and a Mamba X or a Tekin 3100kv ROC412 with a RX4 are my top choices.

[@kyleross1214]

I've been thinking about getting a vs410 for a wile now, but the pro has definitely sold me on one! I'll be picking one up for sure over the winter and give me something to tinker with and build over the cold months. I think the price is reasonable for what ya get. It's got everything I would want to purchase and add on right out of the box. Also I'm sure this isn't a problem but does the new transmission design hold in heat on the motor? Just wondering because it don't look like the motor has much room to breath, but that being said I always volt up and gear down so heat won't be a issue I don't think. Just something that crossed my mind with the new design. Super nice job on the pro. I can't wait to add one to my fleet!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I covered that in the video also. No it wouldn’t hold in heat any more than a standard setup and actually has air flow from the outside compared to a standard trans. So it could do better for thermals.

[@TheImtoomuch]

Where's the link to the Origin group? The more I see the Pro version the more I like it and think I need it.

[@nicholasbarber4193]

I'm super psyched for mine! :D I see you're borrowing a little from my planned paint scheme with this one, eh? lol :D The AC B Series inspired Pro is coming. Mwahahahaha!

[@lopodelpasa]

It that a new 2300kv motor from HH? I only found the 2200kv online.

[@greggraham174]

Does adding the hurtz dig do away with the overdrive part on the VS4-10 Phoenix and just make it a dig only transmission?

[@BGnation573]

I'm trying to buy both

[@jrduenas3678]

Does the older vs4-10 black have metal bumpers and metal chassis braces? Thinking about buying one. Also do they sell extra bodies in case we damage the original? Is the body the same width as the gen8 in case we want to change the grill?

[@RCFunEveryday]

I really want one of these, either the Pro or the Ultra, too bad it's so high cost to get one into the UK... Who knows if we get a good trade deal with you guys after Brexit, I might finally add one to my shelves.

[@Степан-ц6д]

hi friend i understand you i just fell in love with this model i have 2 pieces of pro and ultra ул please tell me on instagram is there a community of these models? I'm from Russia

[@RyanRKJ]

I've come to the unfortunate realization that this vehicle is almost exactly what I want out of an RC. I started with an Ascender, and I've been debating what truck to get next. All the popular options seem to have flaws or features that lower my enthusiasm for them. I love how closely the VS4-10 mimics real purpose built off road vehicles. I say this realization is unfortunate, because I'm not sure I will ever be ok with the purchase price of this vehicle. I have been purposely ignoring looking into this vehicle, because I figured this would happen....

[@felipe96150]

I still prefer my RC4WD Gelande 2, even after all these years. Best of the best.

[@yotatech04]

So many details I really like the truck but why is there only a diff plug in the rear diff?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Because that’s not uncommon in the full size for clearance. Our case was the same, clearances are very tight.

[@yotatech04]

@@HarleyDesignsInc I figured as much just had to ask.

[@BSalc]

Will there be a VS4-10 pro with SUV body? It looks really good (so much like the 69 scout).

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

B. Salc no, the Pro will only come with this body.

[@BSalc]

Thanks 👍🏽
