Vanquish VS4-10 RTR rc crawler - the best ready to run crawler today

[@NANNIRC]

The ting is that I'm happy for all these new models as it means that our hobby is safe. Great looking and and working crawler. Thanks for showing. Ciao Nanni

[@RCReviewChannel]

Well said!

[@Andrew-315zz]

This is TEMENDOUS news. Just joined the Vanquish family and I love what this company is doing and what I am learning about them!

[@RCPropaganda]

Wow an rtr pretty cool stuff. The hobby has been just so good last few years

[@RCReviewChannel]

You got that right!

[@sambushee9296]

Thank you for telling the price, almost all the other rc you tubers won't say the price. In this economy, it's most important thing!

[@netcruzer]

Nice overview. I think RTR first tests should be with the included ESC and motor. I wanted to see how it performs with what it comes with, then how it performs with what you put in as upgrades.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes! Fyi, all the true technical rock course testing was done with stock esc, motor, tires and foam. It is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4Okc2Whq8Sqnq8 You can see how the drag brake is not as good and how the tires kind of fold under load

[@brianmorrison2846]

Good review, I appreciate the truth without a sugar coating.

[@adrianjay1972]

Awesome video and review! Some other great looking RC there too! The FJ55 is killer!

[@GrimJerr]

If I were to recommend an RTR for anyone looking to get into 1/10 crawling, THIS IS THE ONE ! I have had nothing but joy building and driving my Vanquish products, Top Shelf all the way around !

[@RCReviewChannel]

'recommend to a friend' That's a high compliment!

[@jsflow9049]

Over a trx4? Looking to pick up a crawler tomorrow

[@mikerainey3847]

Thanks again for the excellent reviews!

[@Vanquishfanboy]

Yeah they killed it! I’m so stoked they came out with an rtr!!! I’m gonna go order two for my boys

[@RCReviewChannel]

Order two? Do you have very very lucky boys. Where are you in Norcal? I am in San Jose. Make sure to click on the links in the description when you buy it.

[@derekhaumesser2594]

Man this makes me excited

Vanquish stands above the rest in pure quality! Great Review Brother!

[@RCReviewChannel]

No doubt!

Good to know proline dual stages work in these tires! I've had the sidewall crumpling issue and was looking for a way around it

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad I could help!

Great review. I just put the hobbywing 1080 fusion in and it fit perfect with no modification so I'm not sure if they tweaked something since.

[@nicholasstephey8475]

Great business move for vanguish.

[@Wainfleetrccrawlers]

Thank you for the review! It is really good model

[@RCReviewChannel]

Much appreciated. It’s perfect for the times too, and a tough economy.

[@mikeobrien4104]

This is killer great for the market to bring down the big dogs a bit.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, this will help the category for sure. Everyone will be forced to shape up and give us better offerings

[@Proscalecrawler]

Great video, if I didn’t just get the builders kit, I would of def. have gotten this RTR. Especially @ this price point.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great to hear!

[@gebiscrust284]

Couldn’t agree more regarding the factory foam,the tire def looked “square” looks way better with the dual stage. 🤙

[@joker111092]

You convinced me to get one before they run out. Also got the gray but I've got a Jeep Cherokee hard body going on it. My first 1/10 crawler was a Redcat Gen 7 Pro that I got last March. So I'm still somewhat new to the hobby.

[@lualrosaal]

I have the portal kit already and was considering getting the straight axle one that way I can have both 😁. Just ordered a RED one right out of your link, glad to be a bit of help for your channel. And by the way, your channel is the best 👍

[@JTesoro21]

I think I'll gonna get one 🤔 Thanks for the great info, as usual! Mabuhay!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Can't go wrong pare.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Wish it was 2 speed! Amazing value thorough! Plan to get the gray as well

[@meadowlarkgal25]

It looks amazing! I will have to put the $$$$ down NOW!

[@ASKirkland]

Amazing performance for the price point! Your review videos keep getting better too! #superpro

[@HoundStuff]

Nice review! Are you going to do a shoot out comparing the straight axle to the portal version?

[@royrodgers3296]

Vanquish knocked it out of the park with this rtr. At that price with that platform it can’t be beat. Why would you go with anything else? Great video

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Great video Frances... but I really would have liked to see the first run box stock and not already upgraded. That said I love your videos. My first choice in rc news. Thanks for sharing. John

[@PeterCPRail8748]

It's a industry changer for sure. With that said they should of added 2 cheap servos for the dig and overdrive and charged 499.99. To me it's an incomplete RTR, more of a RTR Kit hybrid. Regardless it will usher more competitive pricing in the industry. If a big boy can bring something like this in under 500, no excuse for Traxxes and Axial to follow suit.

[@BSalc]

Sooo nice 🤤 …kit or rtr 🤔

[@alanvictorreno]

Where’s that top mods video to do to the phoenix. Been looking forward to that!

[@Gibsonlife573]

Thank you

[@Happy_Trails410]

Waiting on the top 5 upgrade video

[@MrMosinNagant1937]

Would of liked to see a stock review of it.

[@Joercgarage]

Great video excited about this new release I been looking at getting a more performance orientated rtr and this might be the one… if possible on the next video do you think you can point out what you have to do to get the fusion pro to fit into the rig personally for me that the motor I would get for it..

[@corygildner9068]

I just had to trim the down the upper front link mount a bit. Fits great

[@GeoB47]

Wish you would do a video on setting up the TR-1 transmitter. I just got this crawler, put a 3s battery in it and it goes crazy. I know I could install a Hobbywing fusion I already have and use that esc to set parameters, but I'd like to try the stock motor and esc first. The manual is no help as they only use acronyms for everything without saying in plain English what each parameter is.

[@wasaker09]

Damn. I was about to get the kit. Are stock electronics high-performance enough? I might just get the RTR and do a custom exterior paint.

[@Gibsonlife573]

When asking for someone to do a video of 110 what you need for break down all the way through you know to the build and what it would take for now I know all I got to do is get this upgrade to Holmes Hobby brushless motor ESC and some brass and I'm in there

[@RC_Cubed]

Been shopping/researching my first crawler for over a month. I think this may be the one.

[@DoubleADay]

Smart choice

[@RC_Cubed]

@@DoubleADay expecting arrival Tuesday. Can't wait.

[@echobeefpv8530]

Nice. I'll stick with my Redcat Gen 8 Axe though, as the better RTR ( not at this price point ). Not sure if they still make it though. 5 channel radio / Reef servos, brushless motor/ ESC. The thing is a tank.

[@AndrewNguyenOfficial]

I remember when everyone was praising the Team Associated Element Enduro. How does this one compare?

[@killas1mo]

I ordered the same color and I really like your rim choice. What rims are those?

[@rybuds47]

They can do it because markup price is insane and they are all ripping us off 😄

[@bacongl]

Best value in crawling today. Hands down. Throw a beastly servo and a fusion pro in it. Done deal.

[@doptimusg]

Does it come with the links I would need for the OD and dig servos?

[@rubiken06]

Yes

[@michaelwarner5721]

Do you have a video on the RTR transmitter?

[@johngisbourne7197]

Still waiting for the Top 5 Upgrades video you promised us.

[@DanielPolak-n9h]

great video. what battery was used during the stock test?

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I know there are a few different internal setups in the transmission, does this version have the metal bearing plates and the components that are the kind of quality we expect from Vanquish? Or has the transmission been a spot where they cut corners to meet this price point? I'd also like to k own more about the included transmitter.... all of my crawlers are on separate radios so they can be driven at the same time , so this one really appeals to me... I think they've done well with this truck and I might just have a Vanquish in my collection soon because of this truck...

[@beng.6417]

did you have trouble lining up the hole in the single bottom screw that secures the trans to the skid plate?

[@antoineozaneaux6881]

hello . could you give me the links to the wheels and foam that you used . will i need adapters of any kind . thank you .

[@lafaina79]

I don't wanna piss off people here but rc prices are generally ridiculous, big names are great for sure, but I stick to brands like RGT hands down.

[@TFMarch]

In Your opinion is this a better vehicle than the g made buffalo rtr? definately going to get one or the other, thanks.

[@honchozed]

What's that little white Fj40 looking truck?

[@bannerman.adventures]

Great review but how is it with the stock motor? Also, would this be able to run as a class 2 with the transmission it has?

[@RCReviewChannel]

So all the test video on minute 8 on the rock course was all box stock. motor and tires.

[@mikerainey3847]

May I ask what wheels you are running there?

[@jackgroeneveld7885]

Could you put this truck on a high-low chassis

[@ToGrimmToWin]

This rtr should have had the portals and both servos included. At 500

[@disposablehuman1776]

With or without portals? Which way to go?

[@1kleanc]

Where do you trail?

[@jerryvolpini7987]

[@osakajoey09]

Which ProLine wheel set would you recommend for an upgrade as the better choice for an even grippier touch???

[@beng.6417]

what motor and esc do you recommend with this? Is it true the Fusion does not fit without trimming?

[@Stempy]

Any chance you do a video on how to install the fusion pro?

[@bru_pizi]

Hey seriously considering picking up this rig! Would the half cab body fit on this chassis?

[@MauzyrockRC]

Ohhhh snaaap!

[@MrSmith223]

Weird, the body is one of the things that draws me to the vehicle.

[@ibeemeeintp3033]

So comes equipped with dig and overdrive built in?? Just install servos to make them work? I'm sorry I've been out of the hobby for a few years and wanna get back in. Lol

[@MrSmith223]

yep. even comes with the links. You will need the servo horns though.

[@sanddan525]

What wheels did you switch to? Thinking of this for my first RC car.

[@tundrasr5709]

This Vanquish or Element ecto? What say you?

[@yiarkungfu]

No rtr crawler should come with a 1060. That being said it's a fantastic kit. Wonder if Traxxas is paying attention?

[@paulreese8696]

What motor & esc did you upgrade to?

[@EthanCmsrc108]

Cheaper than a trx4 and 10.3… yet it’s 1000x better than those 2 combined.

[@DJhunta]

That’s nice

[@littleman350]

I am looking at getting another crawler but I am trying to decide between the Phoenix or the Fordyce. Anybody have suggestions which one to go with pro cons portals or straight axles? I have been all axial so far but think it is time for a change.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Fordyce!!! since that body is so much more fresh than the many Phoenix versions. Portals if best for performance, especially in rough, obstacle strewn conditions. Straight axle is more scale. Since portal bodies sit higher with the higher shock mounting positions, many good companies use shorter shorcks to equalize the body height with straight axle versions.

[@nursinggerm2009]

Which dual stage proline foam did you like for the wild peaks? I see 2 versions on amain..thx

[@RCReviewChannel]

The one for 1.9 wheels.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

I'd like to see more simple rtrs. Single speed divorced transfer case portal axles like the gen8 but stop giving cheap bodies plastic links and no inner fenders. The base camp wouldn't be bad if it had inner fenders no body posts and why did they switch from the front mount battery

You're saying it's the best crawler on the market today at that price, but you put upgrades in it to get performance out of it. so in my opinion that's not the best crawler on the market, it makes it more expensive than most of the others once you add upgrades.

[@RCReviewChannel]

At the eight minute mark of this video, we did a full test on our Rockwall course, absolutely box stock. It did did insanely well.
