Nice truck and nice overview! Hopefully we will see you do some direct head to head testing of the portal vs. straight axle versions. It would be nice to see the actual performance differences on your terrain with your testing methods. Nice work!

the best of all reviews of Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Portal. Super slow motion and lock up function, they are priceless.

Best tip ever is the AGFRC servos…love ‘em! Now I want a Phoenix so I can buy more servos! 🤫

Great video. A lot of people rushed to post build videos last year but I haven't seen too many follow-up reviews, so kudos to you. I also wish the transmission let you choose between no overdrive and extreme overdrive as well. I'd have bought one already if they did. The straight axles definitely make it more attractive in my eyes as well.

I don’t think I will build a straight axle version because it’s too much effort. The main difference between the two is the portals have higher ground clearance, so that is a clear advantage. The straight axles are more accurate so scalers appreciate that more. Vanquish makes the ride height the same by putting 90 mm shocks on the portal version and 80 mm shocks on the straight axle version. Thus the center of gravity range the same. Also, the straight axle version has more articulation at the same ride height..

Great overview👍 Very impressed with this kit. I just got to start building it😆

@RCReviewChannel Жыл бұрын

The tricky part is the electronics if you go with 3 servos. Also, endpoints on servos is critical as the throws are very short and the servos will burn if they are bound up.

Hey there Francis - what an awesome build!! I like your thinking about the wide stance to offset the body weight. What Boom Racing wheels are they?? Normal or ‘Extra Wide?’

All my trucks are portals, so I am actually excited about a straight axle phoenix. Now I have to decide which to buy and build first this or the LCG Ecto Gspeed rail in my head, with a Fusion and a Reefs 777.

I just ordered the new Hobbywings 2in 1 Brushless 23k motor so it will have that same speed from crawling to super fast for a crawler at your fingertips. I also have the Holmes hobbies Stubby 27kv & Mamba esc & that too should have that same type of throttle response as well. I waited over a month for the new Micro Mamba but found out that all there stuf is way late & they decided to change the Micro Mamba so I just got the Mamba because I couldn’t wait any longer.
