Got this Vanquish Phoenix Portal kit on trade, got to say these are very beefy trucks! Pretty impressed with the quality. Still trying to figure out what direction to finish this out to.

You should build it with the servos and all of its capability!!

I run the HobbyWing FusionPro 2300's in all of my crawlers and trail trucks. They are worth every penny. I also use Reef's servos in everything. They're bulletproof and powerful.

i love the fusion system i have a few of them in trucks. awesome setups save a lot of space on the chassis as well

@TheUncleRuckus 11 ай бұрын

I think you should definitely put the rock lights on, it'll add more scale to it while looking cool AF. 👍👍

Man that is awesome man that's kicking it up man the new Chevy K10 Chevy truck it's nice looking rig and it's true awesome

The Fusion is a pretty sweet system. The program card works the same as the 1080 with a couple different settings. I have one in a crawler, one in a Tamyia semi and one in a converted Bruder Mack snowplow.

They are a great crawler if you only have one,you got the right one definitely hook up both servos for dig and over drive you won't be sorry.give the stock body one of your patina paint jobs it will look awesome,leave the interior out for a lower center of gravity

It’s definitely a tank of a crawler; I’ve put about 40 miles on mine and still going strong

@dmgarage5182 11 ай бұрын

I’ve got both a straight axle and portal phoenix. I have had trouble with dirt getting into the transmission around the shift levers on both. I highly recommend cutting the shift levers off just after the set screws and putting block-off plates over them. The Proline 1985 Toyota extended cab is the perfect size to bolt to the Phoenix plastic cage and act as a direct replacement for the big FJ cab.

To make that worthwhile you should find a program box for hobbywing system, it makes a difference for servo power..

@Chester-dp1js 11 ай бұрын

You really should set up the dig its alot of fun and it chages everyhing when crawling also just my opinion i deff would consider a bigger steering servo ,

Get the rc4wd 4door Toyota Tacoma (Z-B0169), it’s lexan body, I think you would like it!

go hard body all the way i have 3 vs410 . cant get away from scale i love all scale build

@KearSki 11 ай бұрын

The vanquish kits are very nice, I've no interest in a vehicle that won't struggle it's way over a pebble though...As for a body? Anything but a proline power wagon...maybe a lexan 4runner or something?

@simon_says_shhh 11 ай бұрын

If you want it to really perform, lock out the od in 30%. I know your way more scale, so don't fight the process, just use the performance the give you. 😉

@johngisbourne7197 2 ай бұрын

The OD was miscalculated by VP, its about 46 percent. Unusable, stick to the stock 6 percent.

@ethaneggloftis 11 ай бұрын

4:50 I think you missed a bearing in the pinion gear here. Maybe not but worth noting it’s commonly missed and cause problems if so. If you get back in it for the hardened gears maybe a good time to do this too and prevent gear breakage down the road.

@RCeveryday 11 ай бұрын

I missed a lot of things building this. I did go back once I realized it. Had the wrong sized bearings in the front portals, 2 or the trans gears are the same size but one is deeper than the other. I have tested in since this video and it is working perfectly. There were a few steps in the instructions I’d have done differently lol

@rc-daily 11 ай бұрын

The vs410 is more of a trail/scale truck to me. Awesome trucks though!

@rc-daily 11 ай бұрын

I don't use the dig much but the adjustable over drive and 2wd is awesome!!!

@rc-daily 11 ай бұрын

Hahahaha i forgot the hardened gears as well. Ive saved them though. Both of my phoenixs run 4s without issues! One has a 1410 castle 3800kv🤣🤣🤣

@fezzolare 11 ай бұрын

use micro servos gives you more room for interior i made lots of them on my work laser and brake

If you are going for a full-on crawler setup, are you planning to go with an LCG type chassis eventually?

Nice build. Can you say where did you buy the scale figure standing there at the end?

That my Bob Ross figure. I got him on amazon. There is a link in the video description to my affiliate store I have him in there.

@@RCeveryday Oh, great. I thought I could use it as a driver figure for my Phoenix Vanquish. But the figure can't bend the legs and such. Many thanks though.

@everythingdrifting3938 11 ай бұрын

After watching the video, it has made me think I wouldn't mind one for hardcore crawling. But if you wanted to run a hard body on it, want about the 85 SR5 Hilux with a bobbed tray, just a thought?
