Crawler Canyon This or That: Axial SCX 10 Pro vs. Vanquish Stance 

I’m just starting this video, but this is your wheelhouse. You’re doing gods work, thank you.

I dig the color choice for the 10Pro body. Made it look good even if it ain’t a “pretty” body on its own!

I have a VRD Carbon and really love it. I put Desert Lizards on it with short soft spring under the pistons and medium, medium springs on top running with rod ends down and 40-wt oil. I didn't build the stock shocks knowing they weren't the best. But the truck performs well in my area. I put a Jconcepts Killa' body on to keep the weight down. As per usual have the HW Fusion Pro in there and a small 2200mAh battery on the left side velcro'd to the transmission braces. When using a Stage Killah body, the sliders either need removed...or as I did...bent them upwards and bend the outer lip to match.

I bought a stance as I was new to the hobby and wasn't confident enough to tackle building up a kit. Knowing what I do now I would definitely go with the kit. That being said I'm still enjoying the hell out of my Stance

Shocks and add the tiny links to the throw away pile of parts as well... stance is i think 24% fixed overdrive....maybe a sweet spot...who knows... but you made that pro body look pretty spectacular

the 1060esc is good for winch applications!

Today's PSA..... "Don't buy a Stance!!" 😆

They both are extremely capable. Pretty close if I was to evaluate each on all the obstacles you ran today. But. I think I know where it's going when you add all the benefits of the carbon plus the electronics of your choice.

damn I'm early this time

Tellin' it like it is, and I'm here for it. Looks like the VRD Carbon will be the way to go. I can understand why some prefer the Axial, but the Stance makes no sense to me.

You need the carbon with the twin and both servo options installed. That’s weapon grade crawling. Yeah the weight will go up, but it’s giving you all the tools, to do all the things.

Stance vs carbon vs pro vs pro on portals🤯

Prepare for the Stance haters, you said "Dont buy a Stance" enough times to make them angry 🤣 Its nice to still have some kits available, but how expensive would it actually be to build something like the 10 PRO just buying the parts ourselves? Or something even better. MEUS axles, gearbox of your choice depending on what you want (dig, a small box...), fake Dravs Big Bores or Desert Lizards... You already have the important stuff for 150-200 bucks Idk, its probably just because of my budget, but im not going to buy a kit ever if I can build something really close to it with aftermarket parts. I want a Phoenix tho

I run some cheap rubber bands on my Carbon to keep the chassis sucked down which makes it and my Pro nearly equal in all aspects. Of course the portals ride higher than the straight axles which gives the edge to the Pro as far as sidehill crawling. They're both fantastic performers and I run the snot out of them every week.

That emerald green ❤

The 10Pro is… Lizzy? The Fence? Lizzy The Fence?

The bottom half a hot dog bun😂

IMO the 10pro needs a set of SSD front axle weights.

LET'S GIT IT ON!!!!!

I took some of the overdrive out of my VRD kit when building it by swapping portal gears. Thought this would surely suit my preferences better. I also put the effort into adding the VP dig unit (because I gotta have dig in that kinda truck) and the thinking was that with dig, I didn't need as much OD. Now after all of that I am tempted to go back and try the stock OD ratio due to all that has been said about it on this channel. At least I didn't spend on the portal gears up front, as I had them lying around from an Ultra or Phoenix kit that came with the "overdrive" gears all round.

Funny thing about the Stance, it worked well for my buddy. It is also his first 1/10….. so when he wanted a better motor esc combo, he upgraded it. When the servo went out, upgraded that. The stance what it needed to do, get him going.

Been looking forward to this one. Gonna go watch it in bed as it's 00.41 here in the UK

Anybody who is seriously involved with performance cars will ever buy a RTR. Period

Damn, I'm late this morning. 😅

Nice comparison, I’m really curious what makes the Pro so stabile and planted, even with the higher CGH🤔 shock & spring setup? Link geometry? What do you think?

Scx10 pro has steering stops that limit steering. Can get over 15 degrees more with those shaved

Were the front or rear portal gears changed in the Stance? You said 6.5% OD but the stance come with 24%. 6.5 in trans and 17-18 percent in the portal gears. Standard in the rear and OD in the front to bring to 24%.

Love my Stance!!!

Love my Stance it performs. Show me anybody that buys an RC and I’ll show you someone that starts buying upgrades immediately.

Swap electronics between the two and run it back . I built vrd carbon kit and it is finely tuned and is a line killer.

They are both overpriced
