I am in Florida, sand, sand, and tire ripping volcanic lava foam. The rocks you have, well, ROCK. Your videos are full of good info, and offer good engagement, thank you. ahum, rock beasts.

[@gatorrcgames]

I can watch your video on repeat, man. It's such an amazing place to crawl.

[@timpowers9429]

That Fordyce seems really good and balanced. Seems like a fun rig. Great video as always and hopefully some cut n shuts are coming soon! Be well everyone🤙🏻🍻

[@markcole6475]

I recently got a new Fordyce off evil bay…dude had 4 of them he got from TOF special….he had them for $420 shipped and one day I got a notice of a discounted price for $350 shipped….couldnt hit the buy now button fast enough…😅 ….love the truck and so far all I’ve done is aluminum rims. Enjoy watching your videos of these stockish rigs…..really can see how these perform against higher end builds.

[@erichawkins6231]

I have a phenix that I built into a vs410 pro with the vanquish origin body and all the bumpers and sliders that fit the body any time I travel it’s my choice rc having the dig and selectable overdrive makes it challenging and impressive I have taken this truck to fort brag and Yosemite California vanquish definitely has created an amazing platform I have 3 vanquish phenix trucks the 3rd one I have I plan on building a Toyota extra cab like yours

[@thindigital]

Never thought of an rx/tx having resolution but that makes sense.

[@westdesertwheeler]

The less expensive ones will and nicer ones should be smoother

[@gebiscrust284]

I drill 32 1/32 holes all around the proline blues to “loosen” them up a bit. Plus shoe goo the inner to the outer. 🤷‍♂️

[@ryanis12345]

I got a pro and Fordyce with impacts and some dark earth f10ts from the two TOFi ended up doing can’t wait to upgrade the Fordyce and get it out! I used it on the stock electronics but definitely needs a bit more

[@OuterLimits_RC]

Seems to be a pretty capable truck. 👍👍

[@gibsonlife573]

Like always very informational I thank you awesome video

[@edsadventures3575]

Love the vids bud. Always got good tips!

The Bees were bothering you, in the Bee Hive state of all places hahaha.

[@Zach.sarver]

I live about 40 minutes from the actual fordyce trail in California, I was always told to think of it like 4-dice

[@brianlorenz9632]

You should stretch that front end out a bit. that was the first thing my buddy did on his phoenix for better approach. just put some jato rods ends on one end. works a lot better

[@antoineozaneaux6881]

hi sidney .

[@mikerainey3847]

Tell us your thoughts on weight distribution of this rig, and more of a comp cheater rig. What do you think is ideal?

[@bobbymulwee7641]

I bought the 4.75 Stance and I had the same problem and they are a big foam.

[@brianrozell1059]

Looking to buy the Fordyce or the Phoenix. Do you have a Preference??

[@vdel9036]

I would have died a hundred times a heart attack if i had to drive one-hand, close to such deep cliffs, as you do here.😉

[@AgeOrmstad]

Sweet 🤙

[@michaudag]

Headed down to your area the week after christmas through the new year. Any crawling spots i cant miss while im down there camping at snow canyon state park. Thanks for any info!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Snow canyon itself is awesome. Check out pioneer park

[@arthopfer]

My biggest like on the axe system is the auto drag brake.

[@robgoffroad]

I've had mine for a couple weeks now and I have concluded that I'm not a fan. It is a pain in the butt to get the rear body clips back in, and that "tilt" feature of the body is a joke. It barely opens enough to get a battery in or out. And the transmitter is a joke... the instructions aren't even remotely clear on how to set the steering endpoints, and even when I asked in a FB group, they were like yep, it's a total PITA.

[@markcole6475]

Agree with the clip situation ….but I’ve used “Fine Designs” on a few rigs that eliminate body pins or clips…3D printed arms with hooks that snap under the frame ….works awesome and takes literally 2 seconds to unhook the arms to release the body…got a set on my Phoenix and getting a set for my Fordyce!
