@davidclymer2207 10 ай бұрын

I think this is a good entry level model for Vanquish. And I think the price is reasonable given the competition. The new Axial Basecamp K10 is comparably priced. I do think they should have done a body that is more distinct from the Phoenix body, though. This one may scream, "WIllys truck" while the Phoenix screams "Toyota Landcruiser truck," but the overall look is very similar. Exciting to see so many new products from them lately.

I like this body alot. But for the little extra money i still think the phoenix is the way to go. I love mine. And building the phoenix showed me just how well these trucks are made. Ive had mine over a year of hard crawling and haven't broke anything. I run a 2700kv 10shooter from Holmes hobbies with a mambaX esc on 3s-4s. Even ran it on 5s and was amazing. ❤ my phoenix.

How is the modulation and low speed control with this sensorless combo? Thanks

@mikellewis2346 10 ай бұрын

@@evoxer87 well the 10shooter I have is the sensored version that's still available on the website last I looked. It can be ran without the sensor and still be still be great. I run mine sensor on since it's there and let me tell you it hands down the most controllable start-up an slowest steady crawl you can get....... I have 4 or 5 team spec motors and all kinda holmes motors and the 10 shooter is by far the smoothest. Only down side is the magnets have to be small so the 10shooter will not hold as strong as a puller pro 4pole motor on a hill. But in my vanquish phoenix at 8 pounds plus it holds great. And I'm not geared down at all. I'm running the 15t pinion that came in the phoenix kit.

Can’t see these selling very well at that price compared to the Phoenix. Whether you add the additional servos for the Phoenix right off the bat or not, at least you have that option down the road but not with this with the very simple transmission. Price of this should be $399 in my opinion

@lipoz-n-nitroz4012 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely! This is an attempt to answer the Base Camp truck platform but this new setup makes ZERO financial sense! Also, how dumb is it for RC Driver to claim "now I can just concentrate on driving because of the lack of the other servo options" as if they cause such a distraction that we can't drive🙄🙄. That's apologetic marketing for you🤥🤥🤥

@TheAmericanUhate 10 ай бұрын

You can add dig to that standard vfd transmission with their hurtz dig unit. $460 isn't horrible for an rtr from vanquish. They've always had a higher price tag. It's basically the lightweight version of a pro

⁠@@lipoz-n-nitroz4012⁠Dumb? Being narrow minded is dumb. Things happen, buttons get accidentally pressed, it’s happened to me and I’ve seen it happen to others. So yes, sometimes the simple things count like the way this truck is set up for those that want simplicity and easy operation. How do I know this? 40 years in the hobby, 30 as a print and digital media professional. Working in 4 hobby shops. Running 3 track facilities. I speak from experience and from not being narrow minded. Apologetic Marketing? Right, the world is out to get you and they’re doing it through toy cars! Run! Unreal the amount of complaining there is in this hobby from some of its “experienced.” It’s what’s chasing new people away and a contributor to prices going up. Why are experienced people even throwing shade here? It’s an RTR, mainly aimed at the entry-level crowd. The bigger market, where people simply have fun with cars. Not everyone mods them. If you claim to be experienced, make a simple decision. Hey this is cool I’ll look into it more or hey, not for me I’ll move on.

@rcdriver 9 ай бұрын

To you the Phoenix may be a better option, but not for everyone. You’re an experienced hobbyist by the sounds of it. Did you know that the experienced hobbyist is actually the smaller portion of the hobby world? General fun havers make up the majority and don’t care about a dig or want to even think about getting extra gear to make it work. They just want to go have fun. This is an easier, less expensive option for them to go and do that. Make sense now?

@@markjackson3459I kinda agree with what the other guy says not yours. Have you experienced driving or own a Vanquish? People all says it's great and rave about it but it has never appealed to me, first the price. I'm not paying over $1200CAD for a crawler rig. I have 3 trail crawlers - TRX4 defender, TRX4 Sport Kit with Traxx and Redcat Gen 8 Axe. They're all fantastic to me and featured them in my channel here, I've driven them in really tough gnarly crawling spots and they've done exceedingly well...I enjoy driving them all. I don't see the point for me getting a Vanquish, my TRX4 Sport can perform just as well on par if not better. At the end of the day it's my money spending and love the rigs that I have to "play" with.

@@flat-out - you missed the point. A lot of people will pay over $1200CAD for a crawler, a lot of people won't. Traxxas in my country are very expensive for what they are and all they do is change the body or add some longer shocks and longer links and call it a High Trail. Just because I think they are expensive for what they are doesn't mean that they are, here comes the stupid saying, a cash-grab.
