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

Yeah, no wrong answers between these two. Both very capable.

Love my VRD. Put the Brazin Frontline chassis on it with Holmes electronics, stubby conversion, etc, and it unlocked even greater potential. Genuinely enjoy the 10 Pro and VRD comparisons here. Great work man. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great test.👍 Love them both. Pros and cons on portal and straight. They are like brothers compete. ❤💪

I have both and my results are very similar to your results. Well done and thank you for this comparison. Happy Fourth!

Happy 4th of July my American friends. Love from Canada!

Put the knuckle weights on the front of the PRO to better match the V-nix and try it again, but this time try following the same lines even you you have to mark them? Throttle seems to be more happy on the PRO as well. Great entertainment though, I'll give you that!!!

Perhaps a re-run on sub-par tyres instead of ‘cheat-mode’ pins would help amplify differences?

So... the conclusion is you gotta have both👍😆

Nice comparison...they both have there place...I lean towards the VRD with other shocks and shock bands .Lets wait for the builders kit which is suppose to be significant cheaper than the axial.

The showdown we've been waiting for and as fair a comparison as one could wish. Definite pros and cons for each. Still leaning toward the VRD with straight axles, but now I need to see how the tweaks and upgrades pan out. Good stuff!

It's like watching the Discovery channel for RC's. Love your work/videos. Keep 'em coming 😊

I feel like the 10 pro with a light weight trans t case combo would be a game changer. That heavy unit is too complex just do around 25/30 percent od all the time and call it a day imo.

I have the Carbon and Pro….very good electronics in both…..both perform great. I opted to get the portal conversion axles for the Pro…initially I like the portals because it pretty much eliminated the torque twist.. Preliminary testing hasn’t proved them unworthy of the swap.. Now I see vanquish has come out with a VRD straight axle kit…oh boy …decisions decisions 😅

Happy 4th of July everyone! Great video Mr C. I seen on vanquish live stream they gonna be releasing a vrd strait axle kit and a vs4-10 builders kit, that's cool. You could play whack-a-mole with that gopher lol.

You should make a VRD carbon on straight axles to see if it’s the ultimate combination

Yes

I agree the VRD feels so light I thought it was. The PRO feels like low weight rubbing rocks if you don't drive it different.

epic battle

My Carbon for me was definitely more capable than my Pro. I sold the pro a few weeks ago had it since first released.

Put the Class1 Megalythics on the VRD. I prefer class1 tires on portals. Would love to see your thoughts about it on video. Btw., the Stance has 23% Overdrive...big thanks for your vids 👍

very close matchup, but the VRD gives u more for the buck$, on the other hand, as u mentioned the after-market for the pro is way more available and cheap - not a clear choice at all given the terrain

Great comparison! I wonder how the VRD would do with the stubby kit, imo it’s a lateral move unless you have a brass servo and even then I’m not sure

Great demonstration of the pros and cons, abilities and shortcomings of these top contenders. I’m a VRD owner and out on the rocks today (4th) my friend (also VRD) and I both commented on the VRD’s front end float. I think a little additional wheelbase would greatly benefit the VRD.

From Mighty Car Mods: the gopher went “Full disrespected nose” on ya hahaha

Awesome comparison. I'm a VRD fan myself 👍🏾🔥

I know test was "box stock" but vrd needs tuning, front unloads bad. anti squat, shorter spring or shock. With tuning the short falls it would quickly out do the 10pro where it was struggling or behind. On 10pro still like the idea of a featherweight, unloading that 1lb trans first thing lol. great test.

10 PRO with a 2low gearbox could be something really interesting to see... IMO, Vanquish does more "unique" things. The PRO axles are the best part of the rig (and they arent even THAT good), and the rest of the parts can be replaced with anything else. Vanquish axles and gearboxes cant be replaced, you wont even think about doing so Are the PRO axles that different to just some AR44s or AR45s? I know the PRO ones are way better designed than the others (I watched all the build-a-long), but are they good enough to make you want to buy a PRO instead of building something custom with different Axial axles like AR44s or AR45s, for half the price? I guess im a "build whatever you need" guy

18:24 that was drivers difference. You were rammy with vrd and slower and smooth with pro and you took different lines with each loading the tires differently off the start

Man I wish I saw your videos before I bought my stance, would have got for the kit. With all the mods I did to it it handles great now. If vanquish comes out with a straight axel VRD I’d get that. Thanks for the videos, happy Independence Day

The answer now is kits. Need more kits. So much goes to waste in an rtr after seeing this.

morning gents, 😊

Great video.. I can tell it had to have been fun to do other than the Heat🥵… now we need to know… ok we now know what $429 gets us. Now - builders kit vs base camp ? I don’t know sounds good though.

Those gophers are why cats like to adopt you...

i'd be cool to see the VRD with the stubby and BTA vs the PRO. I've been asking that same question about RC shocks...is it rocket science to make a shock that doesn't leak? The most complicated part of an RC? You need a new Geeg....outdoor cats are awesome...grew up with lots of them. Great episode!

The gopher just wanted early access to the video...so no one can claim 1st! in the comments section.

Wagwan Canyonaeros 👊

just noticed Vanquish have there builders kits on the website, vrd builders and 4-10 builders,

Happy 4th Mr. C

my scx 10 pro shocks dont leak an i have too sets of them. an have had great luck

Ok... i may be wrong...but looks like the 24% od is the answer

Ooooyeeee. Let’s go

Luv ya Mr. C

Are there such things as chinesium parts for f10 axles or are parts Vanquish exclusive?

Swap bodies, that'll make it really fun... 😉

Is it just me or did the VRD work better on Brorb / Tusks?

I personally like the one on the pins better... Calm down. I know.

Looks like the pro got almost double the attempts and equal amount of completion's overall. I challenge all the canyonareos to watch the vid a second time and grab a pad of paper and pen and keep track of what you feel is the number of attempts and number of completion's per contestant. See what you come up with in order to make the comparison. If you care to share your findings. Please do so...

The only question left is…. Which one is the ford and which one is the Chevy lol 😂

Yo

America............

They are both to cheap

We should make up a fake name for "RC-TNT" guy!! 🥸
