Exocaged builds a Vanquish vs410 Pro!!

[@JoeOvercoat]

Nicest diff I have ever seen. Looks like something every basher should have.

[@urdonercjeremyburris7541]

The plug on the rear is just for looks because the full size has it

[@17Shaky]

Thank You so much for explaining how the overdrive to the front works.

[@ExocagedRC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Houleigan]

Cool kit! I almost like building them more than running them. I like the "plain" white paint job, a few black accents and yeah something on the side. Awesome job!

Well it was about 4hrs.... LOL before all the editing LOL

[@dkearns04]

On the 1:1 Currie axle the red plug is a filler plug. Very cool vehicle.

[@JoeOvercoat]

For grease or oil? Grease, I would think, but who has a mini-grease gun?

[@dkearns04]

@@JoeOvercoat On the full size it is for gear oil. The pinion is pointed up so high the usual fill plugs are too low to get the proper amount of gear oil in there. If it opens on the scaler one could use a needle greaser to get some grease in there. That would be cool.

[@marvinthemo-fomartian3321]

Bought one a few months ago. Good quality stuff . 👍👍

[@Art-zs6sl]

Nice job! I can't wait to see it out at the Exoplex. The red cap I believe is for scale. Don't forget the loctite. Looking forward to seeing you turn this into a Class 1 contender. I have this kit for when finals are over, it's my plan to try and make mine comp worthy. Your RC channel is THE BEST thanks for all you do!

Awesome there totally worth the money one of my favorite kits running the Cliffhanger body on mine looks Excellent

I'm excited for this! I just got one in the mail yesterday,

[@GoFastRC]

Loved the body, it looks very clean. I like it a lot more than the wild paint jobs that some people. Love the truck, want to pick one up but they are so expensive. Gonna wait to see your running footage and see how she does.

[@dirtyrivrc]

That nut on the rear axle is to mimic the fill hole on the full size axle. I've seen people actually use it to fill the rear diff with grease...

[@davidbanaszak562]

Looks really good even in white

[@mickd8188]

A few folks saying that the shocks leak.. but if you take care not to overfill and put some green slime on o'rings they have been perfect for me with 70w shock fluid. Cheers 👍

[@ExocagedRC]

I didn't overfill them, when I put the caps on they were compressed so if anything there is some vacuum in the chamber

@@ExocagedRC Doubt it Joe. When you're done it'll be phenomenal. I love your builds. Addicted to watching your SV2. And you pretty much saved my interest in the RYFT. Finally got my Mambas today. And I'll probably buy Son of a Digger because of you! Great content man. Great!

[@scooterdrum]

That’s the next truck I’m getting! Love the axles

[@thereviewguy5598]

Try some 60 wt before the sway bar and see if that helps . That’s what I do with my heavier chassis trucks.

[@Warwick3511]

Harley uses around 80wt oil in the shocks on 4s.

[@mickd8188]

Guessing you've worked out the body locks the inner fenders in place.? I know what I think of this truck on the rocks but am looking forward to your run video and your thoughts.... especially on your sway bar comment, maybe you need to beef up the shock oil weight. I run 70w in mine on recommendation from Harley who runs 80w to 90w. So far I'm super happy.. The tyres are the only real improvement this kit needs immediately, the extra overdrive in transmission or underdrive the rear axle is nice but not necessary. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Cheers mate 👍

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah, do the Incicsion Under drive gears fit in? I think they will but I want to be sure before ordering

[@tcnw2005]

@@ExocagedRC yeah, the ar44 underdrive ring and pinion will go right in. They also have a 21% overdrive gear set for the transfer case.

[@mickd8188]

@@ExocagedRC yes they fit, as mentioned Ar44 and 45 cross over. They weren't available when I got my transmission 21% gear set. Oh and the diff plug is just a pretty jewel to top off these nice axles. Loctite it in.. You don't need to run the battery tray either, chassis plenty rigid without it. Save weight and use slider. Dig unit is a nice touch also

[@whitsrcleftovers2707]

The front and rear sticker thing just makes it yours/unique.

[@ExocagedRC]

LOL I guess

[@jamaicarctv9587]

great built man

[@markskielliott5962]

The pro is a fantastic bit of kit and it won’t need the sway bar. Just put on some firmer springs or thicker oil

[@tcnw2005]

The vanquish trucks like heavy shock fluid, 60-90 wt is what guys usually run.

[@ExocagedRC]

I'll try that, the 40wt isn't much for it at all

[@rc-daily]

I like the vs410. They're bad ass. I need one for myself

[@xavierseitz7231]

I have one and those stock shocks like to leak oil so id switch those over to shocks of your choosing, also the stock transmission have overdrive gears which put it at 21% its still an awesome kit

[@hossrc420]

Thought you would of got one of these ages ago. I upgraded my Element enduro to the VS4-10 chassis over 6 months ago and it was well worth it and just added some shock keys to the rear and have achieved just over 62 degrees climb angle so far.

[@ExocagedRC]

thats a good climb angle

[@djbigt126]

Very nice.. I just got the scx10 2 unimog kit that I'm putting together

[@lancelucas3023]

The Incisions need a pretty heavy weight oil. Something like 60 F / 80 R is pretty common, as is using the medium springs in the rear (softs are included). Also, it looks like you may have missed the bolt that goes through the skid plate into the motor plate :D

[@307_Scoot]

One day I’ll spring for one

[@fernsolo]

Very nice 👍

[@clayton8465]

I just built a 4-10 ultra. It was missing the front diff. Lol. But I had two rear diffs. And no front internals. I have a pro sitting in the shelf that I’ll eventually build.

[@CCCMustang50]

Should have used the Vanquish servo arm, it's designed to work with the suspension geometry. I use 80 wt oil in the shocks all around and stiff rear springs. Also the 21 percent overdrive really makes the pro a serious climber. Just my 2 cents after a year plus crawling with mine.

[@daver18qc]

@5:55 You mean "step by step, oh baby" x)

[@GhostRider-ii7tz]

I have the same kv in my 410 works great in my opinion

[@jhawk1985]

The stock tires have no grip. Use a different body because i think the vs4 would benifit from a lighter one. Awesone kit i bought the ultra last year. I always thought the oil plug on rear housing was for looks but i may be wrong lol

[@edgerat]

The second time you build one is goes much faster. The first one I built took me 8hrs, second one I had running in right around 4 hours.

[@Bluemuse182]

Don't forget the flex seal!

[@gravity1]

The distance between the motor plate and the transmission housing is about 59.8mm, the Fusion is 64mm long. There's no where you can grind to gain 4mm. I went through this with my VFD Capra which is over on RCCrawler.

[@stevesrandomadventures9066]

A lot of guys are taking off the red cap from the motor and stuffing it in there

[@gravity1]

@@stevesrandomadventures9066 It looks like that would gain you about enough to get it to fit. The motor is pretty well sealed under the cap but it looks like the aluminum cap is acting as a heat sink for that one bit under it with the thermal pad on it. I wonder if removing it would cause heat issues with the electronics since the Fusion already tends to run warm. On the VFD transmission I put in my Capra I ended up making a 10mm longer top shaft and longer standoffs between the motor plate and the transmission case. I only have a Fusion in it at the moment but I have enough room now to fit any 550 can motor.

[@TRKISH324]

That headlight/rearlight fauxpas is still way better than my idiotic choice to put the covers on the outside of my 10-3, after putting all the window covers inside. Ehat a jackass I am. Lol. Still, only my first build, paint job, but I still look at those blacked in coversand shake my head

[@banedt]

SV2 will make that thing look silly on the course.... Wish that 1800 would've fit though, my favorite motor.

[@gonncalomariamonteiro4176]

The amount of superlatives you used during the build made me eager to see if it will perform as good as the hype might suggest. This is a high end kit, and if it is twice as good as almost any other kits half this price, I'll be impressed. Question : Is modding that kit considered a sacrilege? Cheers

[@ExocagedRC]

Thanks, modding happens to everything but the plan is to have a solid capable platform that doesn't need much other than tuning.

[@jonthomas8487]

I still can’t get over the $750 price tag. It’s super cool that you get USA made axle housings and there’s not a lot denying that it’s the crawler kit with the most USA content so that’s worth something but not $750

just a scale part does nothing more than look scale correct, on the 1-1 Currie axles it would be the gear oil filler.
