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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

@CrawlerCanyon 29 күн бұрын

Honestly, I thought the VRD did better on Tusks than it did on pins.

@rccrawlingaddict207 Ай бұрын

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!!!

@bouncingnoise Ай бұрын

But then you’d have to lock the Pro in 40% OD as well😊

@CrawlerCanyon Ай бұрын

Pro has much less gear reduction, so it's faster on a 1200 than a VRD on an 1800. I honestly think that same problem will rear it's head with straight-axled VRD.

@@bouncingnoise As long as there is more weight in the front, that would be ok. I like to use the forty for entering a climb or just hooking to pull up!

@Driver86421 Ай бұрын

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!

@themountain59 Ай бұрын

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.

@CrawlerCanyon 29 күн бұрын

My guess is the Builder's Kit will essentially be a C-channeled, disassembled Stance, so sintered gears throughout-- but if the pricetag is appropriately ~$250 then that's absolutely fine.

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 😅

@CodySnell_87 4 күн бұрын

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.

@andrewhead4365 Ай бұрын

They just announced it and should be released after TOF. I would still buy the carbon kit and throw some straight axles on it and have an extra set of portals. The one they are releasing is a kit like the carbon but with all the crappy sintered one piece ring and pinion. Also the trans is a standard VFD in the new kit. You would spend almost $300 to upgrade to carbon spec trans and machined ring and pinion

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.

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

@CrawlerCanyon Ай бұрын

I make every effort to put them on the same line, but if the VRD tries to hang out as low on the ledge as the 10 Pro, that highside front tire is gonna unload and the rig is taking a tumble. A straight axle better on the sidehill than a portal? GASP! Who would have guessed? No one rig is the best at everything. But hey, I've only driven a hundred different rigs across that line, hundreds upon hundreds of times.

@tjpighin Ай бұрын

@CrawlerCanyon yaaaa, it's soooooo hard to get things exact and do comparisons exact for sure. Chalk lines or markers and same throttle is key but even then, rear ends will do different things sometimes and never perfect scenario. Still great comparison video. I have always wondered about these two head to head with as close to same builds as possible

@jimbocreationsbu8203 Ай бұрын

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

@lastcreations8845 Ай бұрын

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.

@HVT03 Ай бұрын

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

@CrawlerCanyon 29 күн бұрын

Thanks to AliExpress (and Amazon, here in the states) you can build an entire set of 10 Pro axles without ever touching an Axial part, grab a set of carbon rails for $20, and build yourself a "Pro" for probably less than the cost of a Pro kit. The same cannot be said of the VRD Carbon.

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...
