Vanquish H10 Optic Kit Build! Tips and Tricks

[@DesertRockCrawler]

Vanquish has the strongest tips in the industry.

[@jessemiles5856]

That's what she said

[@ronstoner1656]

Great job of editing. You did not drag your viewers through some of the more repetitive processes, simply showed results. Many good tips on this build. Informative and helpful. Build videos like this are beneficial. I was on the fence on the Optic but now I have to have one. Thanks

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks, it’s hard to find the line of showing how it’s done and not being boring. Glad you enjoyed it

[@FireWyer79RC]

Just wanted to let you know i enjoy your content. This is one your best videos. This video was my favorite of all the release videos for the optic kit.

[@rcjeepguy3560]

Dude! Logan that was a great instructional video. You have the right demeanor and the right voice and the right technique for these videos. excellent job sir

[@russ350r]

Nice build video. One upgrade that i like to use when building Vanquish kits is the machined shock pistons.

[@kjflyte5088]

I like the larger handles on mip plus 12 yrs and haven't had a tip go bad.

[@theoalbert897]

I put f10 4ws on an optic like 5 months ago, its by far my favorite rig at the moment

[@catchmp82]

Logan!!! You did it again!! Great job! Video idea…. Please explain the electronics side of this with all those powerful servos and how you prevent brown outs.

[@chainsaw7887]

I just got a VRD carbon and VRD builders kit and now i "need" to get this one!

[@RobMoore-lk4lx]

Great video. Wish you did more behind the scenes video like this. Just going into builds and tips or tricks. 💯👍🏻👍🏻

[@JDMJDK]

lol I used some petroleum jelly once when I didn’t think I had a better grease laying around. So far I haven’t had a leaky shock and I’ve never looked back. 🏁🤙🏼

[@minibeef8574]

Nice Video! I appreciate the walk ffwd walkthrough and key items. Would you mind telling me where you got the PSC sticker for the front ram? I have a full scale 406sbc rock bouncer with PSC steering on front and rear and I would love to make the steering match to full scale.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I got it from Freqeskinz as part of an H10 panel wrap set

[@slam854]

Thumbs up on the build video. I am new to this so this video helps a lot.

[@alvintarrer6914]

Good stuff on build, you have options 👍☕️☕️✌️...MARRY CHRISTMAS

[@andyb9994]

Great video, and I agree tools are definitely worth the expense!!! Can never have enough tools 💯

[@jacobdavis2378]

I recently purchased some "specialty" tools on Amazon, mainly because I wanted them, I got t a bearing remover/installer for pushing bearing into knuckles and other parts, the pinion gear puller has come in handy too, buying used trucks with stripped pinion hardware the 9.00 i spent was worth it, and my e-clip tool what a life saver, I occasionally use it in the full size world too on random large ones so I bought 2. I also have a tool buying habit 😂 so if I can "justify" buying it even if it's just to use it one or two times I'm buying it.

[@larrybarnhart7532]

Enjoyed your build video

[@Toodles77]

Dude ur cut n shutin the Aztek! Cant wait for them to go on site! And an fyi, Treal makes a pretty nice H10 housing. Just got mine yesterday. Other than the machining marks they’re right on point!

[@craigtriacca3967]

Traxxas tips are the shit too

[@hotboyracing]

If you get 126mm links for the rear upper and mount them to the outside of the skid like the front is it’ll stop the binding

[@tiborbeetles1882]

Whats your thoughts on using the Colorado Adventure designs part for front and rear dig but with a drag axle? Or locking front wheels only worth it on 4WS?

[@westdesertwheeler]

It is much more useful with rear steer

[@tiborbeetles1882]

@westdesertwheeler Looking forward to watching how you develop this truck! I have a spare VFD twin with the CAC front lockout which I have been eyeing up an Optic to use in. Sounds like a 4WS Optic with these bits is the way to go! Strange how the fuel cell needed way more clearancing to run a rear servo, I thought they'd designed it all with this in mind. At least it's only an aesthetic part to Dremel out.

[@dustinalexander982]

I like build videos good job

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Yes love it

[@justinluczak5611]

Where did you get your psc sticker I’ve been trying to find one? Thanks!

[@justinvess9667]

Nice job on the review wdw

[@Toodles77]

Any chance you have a suck down winch mount left for the capra??

[@bannerman.adventures]

How do you think the h10 axles would fit in a 1.9 wraith?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Yep you could make them

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Mmm Mango Chainsaw so tasty! 🤤

[@yurkia360]

Where did you manage to find a PSC decal? I've been searching since the optic first released...

[@westdesertwheeler]

Freqeskinz wraps came with a pair of

[@yurkia360]

@westdesertwheeler thanks! They have a scale accessory sheet that has em too! Perfect!

[@mikeearls8158]

Do you know if livery’s will be available separately?

[@Rob-tl9md]

I am sure of it.

[@philthy5058]

Chargemaster mini, for all your precision rc needs😆

[@westdesertwheeler]

Hahaha some people know lol

[@scout_6749]

can you get me a link to those rod end tools for the drill? cant seem to find it.

[@yurkia360]

TGH has one. eBay has em for much cheaper.

[@kjflyte5088]

Park tools sell a oring pliers for small bikes.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Interesting good to know

[@kurtroessler9447]

Root beer instead of PBR huh? 😅

[@westdesertwheeler]

Depends on the time of day lol

[@theoalbert897]

I would 1000% put my chinese titanium tools against those anyday, had a set of mip and ended up snapping a couple tips off, these chinese tools have held up 3 times as long now and are still perfect no stripping and the fit is just as good as mip.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Personally I’ve only ever broken 1 MIP driver and that was my fault.. used it as a lever 🤦‍♂️ Broken loads of other brands though and MIP have held their shape a lot longer. But if it the Chinese ones are working for you, well, that’s awesome 😃👍👍

[@archerash6695]

Titanium China tools have been perfect for me.. still going.

[@Brian8675-ky2wb]

I strip way less screws with mip

[@Enword_Jim]

I've had a set of Dynamite drivers since 2011 and I've never broke one or stripped a screw. The tips have also never worn a bit, damn things are hard as a coffin nail.

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@ have a set too but still prefer MIP, the dynamite ones must be close to 20’years old now. 😳

[@mr4x4s]

NOT a fan of the random livery… out of the 6 designs, I really only like 1 of them, so odds are against me getting that one, so guess who isn’t buying one… ME! Maybe I’ll watch for the one that I like to come up for sale used somewhere…

[@westdesertwheeler]

Or just get an RTR that you know what it looks like

[@corksauve4949]

Hah! Muncho's!

[@slappomatthew]

Kinda overpriced imo. Phoenix is way more value than this kit

[@thelonewolf3515]

My rtr was 389€ as i bought it 😅

[@phowell30]

Too different platform
