Vanquish Products has released their next ready to run RC vehicle with the VS4-10 Fordyce!
Featuring a lot of components that previous owners are familiar with, the Fordyce RTR comes in a ready-built, very complete state. This latest offering from Vanquish features their electronics setup carrying the Vanquish brand, among them a 2.4Ghz radio system that features 4 channels, a 200 oz-inch metal gear steering servo, a 3 cell LiPo ready ESC and a 35T brushed motor. The Fordyce comes with the VFD transmission case which has an exceptionally low center of gravity and can be equipped with a dig servo.VFD . The radio system is fully prepared to deal with anything you can throw at it.
The straight F10 axles boast some high entrance pinion gears, an easy to build and maintain cradle for the ring and pinion gear, oversized bearings and chromoly axleshafts. 47 degrees of steering angle in the front assures a tight turning radius and the 6.5% overdrive that you find stock can even be elevated to 46% with the optional servo installed. An off-center front pumpkin and centered rear make ensure a realistic look, while also giving the Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix one of the most level, balanced drivetrains on the market.
In this video I give you a full run down of all the specifications and features of this truck, that in my opinion will set a new benchmark for RTR RC trucks. The Vanquish VS4-10 is very complete and sets the bar just a bit higher, creating some very interesting challenges for the competition to deal with in years to come.

Fordyce is an area in California that off road vehicles enjoy. Many miles of trails that require seriously capable rigs.

@hemistormrc 11 ай бұрын

Good to know! Curious to see if it will be an option to visit it some day.

They allow people to drive offroad there? That's amazing, not much freedom left in California.

Cali still has the only lawless city in America, so cali has less rules but higher prices to live.. for no real reason. Well dumb voting lol

I ran that trail years ago on an ATV. It's VERY tough. It makes the Rubicon trail seem like child's play.

Because you asked! My first kit was a Phoenix. Your fantastic build was a great inspiration for me. Your tips really made my build turn out exceptional. I would love to show you a picture or two. Since then, I have built a half dozen cralers and trail rigs. I also purchased the gray Phoenix rtr when released. Vanquish quality and design are great value.

The gf got me one of the vs-410 straight axle builders kits for Xmas and a week later I bought myself the Phoenix portal kit. I full built up the portal kit and have fell in love with it. The straight axle kit is at a roller state. I have big custom plans for it. They definitely have made an affordable kit and rtr will still maintaining the quality of their higher priced trucks of the past.

Thanks for the video Chris. Always a pleasure. I have a VS4-10 Pro kit before Vanquish ever released an RTR. It is one of the rigs that always gets loaded into my truck when I go somewhere. May have to pick one of these up. Someone is bound to start producing scale Willys Jeep pickup parts for this shortly. Love to see someone fabricate a Willys Jeep Wagon. Hint, hint.

Great vid. I built my first phoenix kit this spring. It was a FANTASTIC build! love the technical transmission part of it. However, I did not put all the servos in it so that I could take full advantage of the options. When I got it out on the trial the predictability of the rig was great. it definitely felt very planted and heavy down low. It was a great driving experience.

@HoundStuff 11 ай бұрын

Nice work on the video! Super scenic running footage as always. 👍

@Oldmonstrosityshop 11 ай бұрын

It definitely needs a vintage weathered paint job to give it that 50’s jeep look. Even some over spray onto the tyres where the owner did some fender repair would be kinda cool

I love your videos and creativity! I started with Axial kits years ago and jumped on the Origin when it dropped. I have all the VS4-10’s except for the Ultra (was pissed about the quick release after the pro) and Fordyce. The Phoenix is killer and has a Zoku chassis now and is easily my favorite rig

VS4/ 10 Pro I’ve been driving for I think about four years now, when it first came out. I would say probably about 1000 miles or more of driving, I’ve only lost two screws that came loose. It is on the second body and I have another one still in the box. Probably a couple more years I will probably have to get new axle housing they are getting beat up

I'm considering a purchase or either the VS4-10 Fordyce or the Phoenix. I like the looks of the Phoenix better. I don't think I care about the transmission differences. The price difference is only 20$ at this time. Any other major factors I should consider? Also, great video and info. Thank you for sharing!

Great platform, great rtr. However, this is not budget friendly. At 20 dollars less then the full vanquish rtr with dig and selectable overdrive ready out of the box. I dont see this selling well. This needs to be priced at the 399 price point.

I agree. For $20 more, you have options to add later on if you want like high overdrive and dig. With this you are stuck with what you have

I think this is more of a trail truck rather than a crawler. Its basically a VS4-10 Pro with a different body, plastic axles, different wheels, and less beefy upper links.

my "stock" vanquish rtr rivals some 2000$+ custom rigs with only a fusion pro 2300kv in performance, i tried weighted wheels with smaller tires and it was boring as it was too easy, only place it does not perform as much as lcgs is on sidehilling but is close, anyway i run it mostly stock to have to drive it carefully, nothing else can do as much stock
