I think that this truck shows the other company is that they really need to step up their RTR game besides a Capra this will be the best performing RTR, and besides a few super scale trucks, the best looking at a price that is very appealing. The whole vanquish team should be very very proud of themselves.
It’s so nice to see an RTR that is great out of the box and doesn’t need a load of upgrades to get it to perform well. Brilliant job on the video and all the details of the kit Josh.
Awesome value. I have been planning on building the straight axle version for awhile now and this just saves me a bunch of time. Super excited to see a RTR. Didn't expect that. Nice radio choice too.
Holy crap! Awesome move Vanquish. And the release is during KOH week! You are crushing it! My wife and I love our Vanquish kits and I am sure this RTR will create a lot of new RC enthusiasts! 👍👍
I am so excited, I like building kits, but sometimes I just want a RTR. I see two for my son and I. Hopefully we can get two this spring. Amazing RTR,has everything you would ever want!!!!!!🏁🏁🏁👍🙂🏁.
I think this is a great idea from Vanquish. There are a lot of people that are looking for things like this. Now there is a fantastic option for those that are new to the hobby but want to go with a name known for quality and performance. I have felt that the Phoenix was the best bang for your buck and now with an RTR, it's a no brainer on what to buy now if you are looking for an RTR.
Well done! I should have known something was up when you kept mentioning how many RTR's would be released this year in the last few episodes of SNU! Excellent idea to bring the RTR version of the VS4-10 Phoenix to the Vanquish lineup!
Awesome job!! This RTR looks very capable! And I love how it comes ready for all the upgrades right in the box! Having all the extra parts included is a great move!
Awesome. Great to see Vanquish in the RTR part of the market. Hopefully the kits will get the Falken tires as well. Going to recommend to a friend looking to start into crawling as he was trying to get a Honcho. Thanks for another great episode.
Great work, Vanquish! I still prefer the kit, because I enjoy the build, but this is a GREAT electronics option + no hassle to build and paint, at this price point. Any chance the Falkens will make their way into the kits? I'd really like to get a straight axle kit with them =)
Congrats Josh and Vanquish! This looks like a very good release. It’s the first RTR I’ve seen that you can legitimately upgrade without having to rip out all the electronics first! And a radio that can control all the transmission functions!? Blasphemy! Cool that you include the shift links and the metal bearing plate upgrade too. Did you consider doing a version with a HW Fusion SE? P.s. You might want to change the “Vehicle Kits” navigation on the website to just “Vehicles” or “Vehicles (Kits/RTR)”
I finally saw one in person and really like the truck so im picking one up from my local hobby shop this week. My guys holding onto one for me. Next i want to vfd carbon kit . Great video guy
Another thorough review but still concise and very clear, all very useful info and very well edited. You have provided yet another example of how professional reviewers craft excellent videos - thank you! Question: I wonder if tossing in 2-stage foam inserts is as important as mentioned in some of the other reviews?
G'day Josh ol son😎......Big Congrats to All Gnarly peoples at Vanquish🥳, this will puts some competitors on the back heal a bit🤔just a bit. To be honest Vanquish has a great PR person (and his side kick😉) on youtube, who showcases and gives us all a picture of the product and the Company. Cheers Josh m8 from Downunder🙃
Too funny! When you asked on SNU about what releases we predict in 2023 my initial thought was an RTR from Vanquish! I didn't post it for fear of being roasted! I mean, what a stupid idea 🤣 Well, congrats, great vehicle! I would have loved a 1080 but nit picking. At $480, a ton of these will be going out the door, no doubt!
Great review 👍 I picked one up Friday, haven't got it out yet...I can't wait to hit the trails & rocks!!! I've been looking it over and made sure everything was tight and proper and really seems like a well built rig....👍👍
And as a proud owner of the portal unit(for wife's trail rig)and the straight axle(my long range trail setup) I'll probley be getting a rtr.....for another hand out unit....or swap out one of the kids to a rtr.....aaaaaaa we'll all be matching then!!!!!!! Lol.....
Omg. Not a single comment yet about the AMC pacer body yet?? Amazing epic chassis, with a terd on top. I cant believe im the only one who’s skin is crawling over that body…
That's Awesome for Vanquish to offer the Phoenix-SA RTR for under the Price of a TRX4 K10 Cheyenne 😀👉 Even if you have to update the Servo and Radio 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy Josh 🏁💯🏁
Awesome release and even better radio included! I'm building my holiday deals ultra bundle and it has been a joy to build. Fitting an LC70 body on it too but it has been too cold to paint it. Unrelated to the Phoenix, but I shazam'ed that first backing track. That seems like it would be fun to play guitar over 😆
Who am I kidding, it will be on my shelf ASAP. 🤗 I guess I'm trying not to like it to keep myself from buying it. Dang it, it's smooth. I'm thinking Grey?
This might make me buy a kit.. that grey body without bedsides looks so good, I just don't care for a RTR. Wish the kit came with falken tires though, or would come to europe directly from "overseas" without adding US taxes before EU import costs
This is awesome. The rtr game has a new king. Nit sure who really was before hahahaha. I need this. This is so cool, and it has the perfect parts. Sure.... some things are missing.. Oh well. I love that it has the new tires. I'm a little surprised one never showed up at my door..... hahahahaha kidding. I'll be picking one up soon enough. Then I will own 4 Phoenixes. Plus a flat rail with f10 portals. Best truck on the market. Kit and rtr. Plus the electronics... great choice. Tried and true. Love it. 😎👍👍
Awesome! I already have a few of the kits but I may buy a RTR just to have. Curious though. What was the rating of the servo? I dont think you ever said how much tq it had.
