[@Horror-cow]

I'm impressed with vanquish. I never thought I'd see this day. Best bang for the buck. Congrats to everyone that made this happen. Even harley.

[@aegixxer1]

First VP shows RC4WD how to do a mystery box, now they're going for the throat of the RTR market. This already has my vote for RTR of the year. Well done Vanquish!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@lstruggy]

I’m torn between straight or portal w this vs10 I’m a casual crawler which one? help!

[@aegixxer1]

@@lstruggy check out the new Fordyce. Portals are nice for extra ground clearance but that Fordyce is super planted. Selectable overdrive and dig on the Phoenix are neat features but add complexity and weight. As much as I love my portal Phoenix, I would have probably gone with the Fordyce if it had been available first. You really can't go wrong with either one.

[@jtmarshall]

​@aegixxer1 I'm torn between a scx10 lll or a phoenix.. I'm hoping to do some crawling and some truck pulls.. Idk if that overdrive transmission will be good for pulling or be its weakness.. Plus we are weight limted at 8 pounds for pulling

[@crawlerballer]

An RTR?! Finally! Now, if they’d try dipping into 1:24 scale my life would be literally perfect 😊

[@user-st8ny6pi2d]

Don't, please I'm already broke lol

[@matusknives]

Furitek Cayman could fit the bill.

[@auggysimcity]

No no no no no

[@rcdriver]

Awesome video Sir! Had a blast with mine. I’ll be back again this evening to watch your amazing action footage a second time! 😄

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks buddy!

[@thorno7739]

For the price you can't go wrong. Agreed on the best rtr on the market Well done Vanquish 👏

[@SyntheticCompany]

Finally, S80 shocks that leak from the factory! Now all those guys on the FB groups can't blame me anymore hahah. JK, love you Vanquish! Great looking truck, I'm so happy for VP this is a big deal and will likely help a lot of new customers get into the world of Vanquish Products products.

[@GrimJerr]

Now there is an RTR I can recommend to anyone wanting to get into RC crawling and be sure they will be having a blast. Building and driving a Vanquish has been nothing but joy for me, and now those who don't want to Build it first can discover what the rest of us have been raving about. More Vanquish products out on the rocks is only a good thing. Congrats Vanquish you have raised the bar for RTR and it's going to be tough for anyone to touch this for Quality or for Value. Ideal starter platform for anyone wanting to get into the hobby and not have to build a kit to get out and start having fun !

[@scalebuildersguild]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hilltoprccrawlers1979]

As usual, Vanquish raises the bar of the RTR world. Looking at you Axial and Element. ;p

[@maxwell5428]

I thought element was doing okay with the enduro sport. I was considering it for my next purchase in the future.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Congrats to Vanquish Products Products for bringing their first RTR to market! If I weren’t so neck deep in getting ready for comping in Sept, I’d have to get one.

[@Ruckus_Crawler]

Very cool! I'm a fan of RTR but when I eventually get a Phoenix I would like to build a kit but it is a great option to have out there no doubt. It was pretty impressive on those slippery rocks!

[@henrysimas4747]

the one thing I like about kits is that you learn how the truck works and goes together it make fixing that first breakdown that much easier to fix

[@LeftyRC]

Love it when you laugh at your self. Great video as always.

[@B_Skeen]

Nice! great value and the best RTR option out there. And if you upgrade the servo you could just re-purpose the stock servo to DIG or O/D.

[@jeremykindle9982]

I'm just getting into the hobby, my first was an scx 24 that I completely changed everything on. Now I want the Phoenix after watching this. Thank you love all the videos and information you give. SBG rocks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it! It's a great choice if you're just getting into the hobby!

[@christophertyler3248]

I actually bought the gray RTR yesterday. From my local hobby shop. Truly amazing and the price is right in the sweet spot. For all that comes with the rig and for the capabilities for down the road.

[@lstruggy]

Updates? I was getting ready to pull trigger on JL rtr gladiator axial them I saw this video and I’m pausing everything now

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Vanquish is such an outstanding company. Always great people to deal with

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed... except for Josh 😂

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Lmao

[@troywilliams3535]

Yes will be here on the 12 it's pretty sweet seeing your channel on the box moving on up lol

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Awesome running footage showing the RTR capabilities. Well done, you never disappoint. 👍✌️

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Great video Matt, and nice to see a review before any upgrades. Excellent stuff from vanquish, um just maybe another to add to the collection. Thumbs up...

[@scalebuildersguild]

I always run everything stock. How can you possibly give people a proper baseline if they're going to change it from stock!? Thanks for watching!

[@DESOUSAB]

Your driving vids always bring me back to when I lived in the Beach and would walk down to Queen through the ravine. Wish I had been into RC back then. Gorgeous truck - may be my first Vanquish...

[@scalebuildersguild]

Toronto's a pretty great city, that's for sure!

[@MRR2RO91]

Im in the market rightnow and ive been watching vids for the past week and been bouncing around getting the Capra or the phenix and i decided to get the kit but im still not an expert on the electronics that was my only concern. But now that theres this RTR im thinking i might just go this route and skip the build in on my own sense it will come with electronics from them aswell i dont have to go out and just go by what you-tubers say. Its a awesome start for someone like me that wants in on the fun. Awesome

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think it's a great rig for people just getting into the hobby! Thanks for watching!

[@antipodeanadventures6409]

A Phoenix is now a possibility at my house at that price. Always wanted one and that it is only $80 more than an electronics free kit makes it much more appealing. Great video again Matt, music was a good choice.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! It's definitely a great rig and a fantastic price!

[@darylbarter9931]

I was wanting to get a straight axle ,looks like this is the way to go. all ready have a WOF to change out !

[@flintTC]

That’s damn cool. It’s a light weight version of what the kit is. For me that would be a great RTR too start with. So versatile and upgradable. The radio looks great for an RTR. Top notch I think. I myself don’t use the overdrive or dig so that’s perfect for me. Damn I think I just sold myself on it and need to buy one now.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's a really good value!

[@coreycodling6661]

This is the one that will finally make me pull the trigger on a vanquish! Great job

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good choice and have fun!

[@HoundStuff]

Nice review and video, Matt! Sweet to see this new offering.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@_Sphaxz_]

I never would have thought that I'd see this coming. Seems like a really good value too for the price

[@scalebuildersguild]

Totally agree!

[@ZippoMan18]

My step-dad just ordered one in red yesterday. The hobby shop here in BC, Canada didn't have any in stock but he really wants this one as he has no RC skills and wanted a great RTR. I always love watching your videos and reviews! Good job Matt! Oh and it was always great to watch when you were live streaming with the EVGA guys!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great choice for him and I hope he likes it!

[@MrSmith223]

I got one, over the months I’ve added the dig servo, a fusion SE, some dual stage foams and proline BFG Krawlers and some steel bead locks. It’s an awesome truck. I love the straight axles. It’s given the confidence to build a kit. So yes, RTR’s can lead someone into the hobby and make them a builder.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool! Glad to hear it!

[@BULLMAN84]

Received mine yesterday. It being a straight axle will make me step out of my comfort zone. Can’t wait to run it, and I’m glad to finally get my hands on a vanquish.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yay! Have so much fun with it this weekend!

[@gatorrcgames]

Great video, like always man! I was just looking at the kit version yesterday at my LHS.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@davehughes2687]

I've just ordered one of these In red!!!.. looking forward to it!!!...yay..

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy! It's a great choice.

[@robbinthehood94]

Sweet! Know what I’m asking (getting!) for my birthday 🎉🎉🎉!!!

[@Macondray17]

Alright! I love to see Vanquish making moves!

[@fss5678]

Absolutely the best rtr crawler in the market right now 👍👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Couldn't agree more!

[@gobybike99]

great review @scalebuildersguild! I like it

[@loose_nuts_are_faster]

Best running video in RC... Alchemy achieved again! I'm so excited for this RTR!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelwarner5721]

Ordered one. Should be here Tuesday!! First Vanquish. Cant wait

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's great! Have fun with it!

[@joshuacook1977]

Vanquish has always been on my radar and I will hopefully have several some day, but I just can't pull the trigger on it yet due to the cost. I'll just have to get by with poor man rc's for now!

[@orincamp8659]

always have been and always will take a kit vresion over a RTR. but im glad they came out with a RTR version for the ones that are not builders so they can enjoy the hobby aswell..Nice review as usual.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Totally agree!

[@fishnrc294]

Unfortunately for me a kit would take me as the say A Few Years Later😂 I’ve built up custom rigs but work & ice in general tends to get in the way. I’m one of the many that doesn’t get paid to play with RC’s. I was looking at getting the chassis kit then boom here it is. Already ordered the Gray one & have a Fusion Pro & metal beadlocks waiting.

[@fishnrc294]

Oh I will be consuming Vanquish products for sure. I was looking at various new releases thinking about which one I may get & them this came out. Game over Vanquish will get my $$$.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good to hear! I think you'll really like it!

[@FreedomYak]

This put Vanquish back on my radar although building them to me is actually more fun than running them so there’s that… Is it just me or are those foams a little narrow for those Falkens? They seem to wrinkle and then hold that wrinkle, I was sure you were going to have a blowout at any moment🤣. That gray Phoenix is staring me deep in my soul… Guess I could always take it all apart and build it again.

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

I think it’s great. This is just an awesome truck in so many ways

[@scalebuildersguild]

It sure is!

[@Stempy]

Holy crap... I just ordered my first 1/10 crawler, only ever had 1/24. Phoenix RTR in Gray is on the way! You pushed me to pull the trigger over a TRX4. Gah! Nervous!

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

Man, skookum as frig. Might be next on my list of RC purchases. It's just excellent.

[@rodblaine2514]

Last year, Vanquish was selling a straight axle raw builders kit for $279.99. Wish they'd bring that back.

[@floater89]

Literally was looking at the kit versions dreading having to build because I've never built a kit before. Was wishing for an RTR version and now it's reality. Will definitely be my next purchase.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Right on! Go for it!

[@kdog6626]

Just got my build kit two days ago and was planning on painting it red. Guess I know what it will look like now.

[@juniorfenelon5251]

I just bought one, because of You. Waiting for it to arrive.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great choice! I hope you like it!

[@andyb9994]

I actually like the tires on a dry day, I did put a 2 in 1 Hobbywing system and that made a huge difference!!!!! It's my everyday crawler with a few different sets of wheels and tires!!!

[@NoLifeRC]

I'm happy for the rtr I was looking forward to building one but not so much still needing the electronics still without knowing much and being new. I own a traxxas slayer pro 4x4 but wanted to get into crawling

[@scalebuildersguild]

This is great for newbies! Thanks for watching!

[@jamiepetrakovitz4238]

Dude! You always have killer jams in your vids!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@matbrown160]

I've built a lot of trucks and had a lot of Vanquish Products, products. The one thing that is really pushing me to buy this over the kit is the radio. Usually that is the first thing to go, and this one having so many channels for the other servos is a huge savings to me and makes the RTR platform really worth looking at IMO.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great point!

[@bacongl]

I have been planning on getting the straight axle kit for awhile now. I cant believe how great of a value this is. What a great price. Also, love that color. Looking at y0u Josh >.>

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@dennychaput4689]

Just before the run video Ended you passed up a beautifully challenging tree that needed climbing. Love this RTR , longtime Element Fan fan ‼️

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Man Vanquish with another win!

[@natedawg5150]

Finally a rtr from vanquish 😊

[@willanderson5088]

Love the videos. Just got my marlin for my first leaf spring truck and true to form for RC4WD the servo screw was rolling around the box and one of the lenses for the lights too lol. Absolutely love it can’t wait to make it mine

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy!

[@kirkmurray5431]

Just got this truck & haven’t had a chance to take it out . I enjoyed your review on it .

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@John.lakesrc]

I hope this is readily available in the UK, I was going to buy another Element next but I think this is a massive game changer. All the other big rc companies are surely going to have to look at their prices, because this thing is going to sell big time.

[@crashtestdummy27]

Don't expect to get any change from £600 with the current exchange rate, shipping and import duty. Still worth buying over a Trx-4 though Imo. Love my Phoenix portal kit 👌

[@shawnthomas444]

Great review!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@matusknives]

... "portals are like training wheels" ... that belongs on a T-shirt. My impression is - this goes in a similar direction as the Furitek Cayman. Great working chassis with good radio with a place-holder body focused on performance in a RTR package. Makes sense to me.

[@mitsuman5555]

Neat release, but really I'm just here to see the cold open (like usual) 😄 edit: having finished the video, for an RTR the tires and transmitter are particularly nice!

[@averagecarguy961]

Awesome truck!!!!! I can’t wait to get this!!! Super excited!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@briang.sherwood7518]

Nice Review, Nice to see Jewelry was not included!

[@michaeltrilck5680]

Thats it,mate! It runs perfect for a „RTR SWISS ARMY KNIVE“. Please make white crosses on both doors!👍😎And have daily fun… You CAN make it more expensive… but you don‘t have to. It allready drives good,as we have just seen. To have fun,thats the point…

[@JonnieB.]

I like the kit, the rtr is a nice package, but already having an RTR I would want to build my next RC

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

All my crawlers are on separate radios.... so I think I really like this option... might finally end up with a Phoenix this summer

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy!

[@SlooDon]

Thanks Matt! Great Video as always……..👋

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

I’m gonna buy my son a grey one just because. We already own several vanquish trucks.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

You always have the best reviews.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow! Thank you!

[@sharkusd]

Awesome, the red pops out

[@adamrodgers2377]

Damn, just DAMN! Well I guess I am going to have to get one of these now 😂

[@juliuscampbell8606]

Now make one in 24th scale .But yes this is very nice and on the top of my list for rtr rightnow.

[@JThelen1031]

This is an absolutely fantastic RTR offering. I'm not the target audience for it in the least; I love building my trucks too much to give that up, no matter how bad I am at building shocks. But for the folks who want a really capable, well made crawler in an RTR package, this is a fantastic kit to pick up.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I agree!

[@gm3353]

ordered up cant wait

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy!

[@microrigs]

The radio is a rebranded Turbo Racing P52, you can get one from China for about 40 bucks. It's a great radio, all the relevant specs are there (even expos and others!)

[@joshcummings6642]

Yes cause as a beginner in the hobby rtr has appeal. Once I get into this more I'd love to build. That's the goal for me. Making things uniquely mine

[@scalebuildersguild]

Totally agree!

[@sarahvanleeuwen]

Awesome rtr hoping to get one this summer

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good choice!

[@Starbucker3388]

Great video ！！！！ Just too good !!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrBratius]

If they had offered this 3 months ago...I would have bought one. That being said, I love building my RC cars. I have 2 Vanquish trucks and love them both.

[@glen9337]

Mine on the way Lol be here tomorrow

[@JeffSmith-pr1st]

I’m a huge fan of the RC kits. When you get to put one together you get to know that vehicle way better than if buy an RTR. I love building my own!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed, but RTRs are great for newbies or just want to get out and drive!

[@auxil47]

SOLD, this video nailed it for me.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy it!

[@insanemadmanroom2299]

i love kits i love to build them just keeps us folks who like to build them available.😁🙏

[@BigMountainCustoms]

Matt! As always, excellent content. I have 2 questions, though....first of all, what's the song in the run video? And 2, I bought one of those and I'm having fits with the throttle. First of all, forward is EXPLOSIVE to say the least. But worse is the reverse jerkiness. It's driving me nuts! If you have ANY Info/Hints I would be eternally grateful. Well, have a great day! And thank you for your high quality content. Love your channel

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sounds like the endpoints might not have been set properly at the factory. I suggest you reach out to Vanquish support! They’ll be able to set you right! The song is from musicbed.com... I'm a subscriber. Thanks for watching!

[@Minijuice24]

Nearly bought a base camp (first dip into 10th scale), but after finding out about this the Vanquish is well worth the extra $90 US. Easy choice!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great choice and I hope you enjoy it!

[@lualrosaal]

Extra points for braving the weather to show us the Vanquish Phoenix in action. I already have the kit with portal axles on wide and narrow configurations so of course I need the straight axle one (DAH). I will try and pre-order one from your link here... And is it me, or is your red truck orange??

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks and I hope you like it!

[@offroad1911]

These are definitely perfect for that beginner that wants to get started in the Hobby and wants something that has quality parts and room for upgrades later down the road. I like how they put their price point just below the competition (Axial, Traxxas) but I think they still would have a good selling platform at $499 if they would have included the 1080 instead of the 1060. Just my two cents. Lol

[@Basshertz13]

Very nice built product but I would expect nothing less from Vanquish and I believe that I would enjoy this truck with the limited spare time I have at the moment with my busy season here already I won’t get another break until about thanksgiving so no time for a lot of extra

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow! No time off until Thanksgiving? That's insane!

[@thekracken4572]

The rear windows are hideous!! Lol. I'm impressed regardless!

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

Can't get by the fact it looks like a Lexan Toad 🐸. 2023 year of the Lexan "polycarbonate" 😉 Great review as usual. 👏

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@Blackshuck73]

When you said, “Now I have to get over this..”, I got a serious Friendly Giant vibe. I was waiting on Rusty to pop out from behind a tree.

[@scalebuildersguild]

While I get this reference, I wonder how many else will! Thanks for bringing back good memories!

[@Sysiphos]

Is the move for upgrading gonna be getting a heavier duty steering servo and using the stock one for transmission options? This should help VP sell lots of upgrade parts, though I'm getting a portal kit (at some point) to justify the price in europe over an enduro, that body really looks good in grey without the rear sidepanels. I think 1060 is just fine esc for an rtr, even if there's too much drag brake, but 5 pole motor like elements have would've been more premium.

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

that tires, dream

[@chilinonadrtroad2737]

Moosejaw must be getting tired of painting by now keep it up buddy Josh is depending on you

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Did not think I’d ever see the day Vanquish was selling an RTR. Wow. 😮

[@backwoodsrc195]

Ok been waiting a new rig all I have now is traxxas and i have been trying to decide between a new traxxas or axial but just made up my mind I will give this rig a try

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good choice!

[@austnsauce2543]

Awesome!

[@BlindGuyRc]

Yepp. I need one.. I like it. 3 of my my trucks are a Phoenix, or based off one, and my 4th truck has f10 portals hahaha. This is perfect. I dont have to build shocks hahahaha and it comes with those cool tires. Yepp. I like it. Great video.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Right on! Thanks for watching!
