@djbuzzard Thanks. I have received a lot of positive and negative responses to this video. I started my channel to help the community make informed decisions on spending there hard earned money. I like my H10. The fact that this is an RTR and not a kit has made this issue not the apparent to most. Thanks for the positive response.

I didn't notice it in my box stock video either. No one has mentioned this. That is because the servo is just powering through it. With that being said. I want the community to be aware that they are definitely flawed. So if someone goes to spend their hard earned money on a set, they know what they are getting. When these come out in aluminum, it won't power through it. It will definitely hang up.

B.S.

@@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers you bet.

Thanks. I tried the o ring trick. It didn't work. When you see the clip change in the video, i spent time trying to fix it with the last resort being to grind on the axle housing. The o-ring is also just a bandaid for the problem. I'm still in the process of the upgrade video. It's going to be an awesome rig. If it was a builders kit, I'm not the only one who would have caught this. I was rebuilding the diffs and greasing everything up when I found this issue.

I had this issue when installing my new servo

I'm hoping someone comes up with a set that has a little tighter tolerance to take the slop out.

The play is mostly between the screw and the ball. The screws are usually between 2.9-2.95 and the hole size of the ball ens are 3.1+. Add all of the ball/ball ends and it will add up to some decent play.

No. People keep saying that fixes it. I tried that. It doesn't work. That actually holds it in the position to bind up.

@hyperc5249 That's very interesting. Maybe the best fix would be to make some threaded links to replace the plastic stock links on either side of the central "ram". That way, you can fine-tune the angle that the center link rides. All issues that should have been corrected before the release for purchase.

The way it looks to me the servo powers through it and only at an incline. I did not notice it on my box stock review and run. For this kind of money I expected Vanquish quality. I'm receiving a lot of flack about this. But it's not a good design, and neither is the powdered metal diffs. Vanquish seems to be trading high-quality kits for cheaper RTR to satisfy the masses.

@@hyperc5249 Not sure they are really trading anything they still make the Vanquish parts they're known for, but now offer a more affordable starter level option. There is a big cost difference from their kits. I don't have any of their RTRs so can't/won't argue with your opinions but there's always hope for the Ripper 2 being more like what you expect?

@jeff2633 Yes, it's definitely coming. Their kits are awesome. I understand the concept of RTRs. But why settle when you are at the top. Vanquish got to where they are by making absolutely amazing kits that were $800. I will still gladly buy a high-end kit. I just hate to see what seems like a rushed final product that has these kinds of issues. The powdered metal diffs are definitely a trade-off vs. Value. I still like Vanquish. I actually have 3 other Vanquish builds coming soon.

I didn't notice it running box stock either. But when I went to upgrade it is when I noticed it. I'm not the only one. I have been contacted by multiple others having the same issue. The servo is just powering through it. That doesn't mean that it's not a design flaw. I still like my H10 and have a sweet upgrade video coming soon.

@jacmac0422 Unfortunately, that is not true. The servo being installed has nothing to do with pivot of the front links. If you watch my channel, I did some massive upgrades to my H10 and it's an awesome rig. Pointing out problems with RCs is not a disservice. Especially for the consumer that saves up their money to purchase something. Informing people with facts is just being honest. People opinions on that fact are the true disservice. Thanks for watching.

I purchased one yesterday Bone stock I can twist mine as much as it I want it does not hang up anywhere so either they fixed it I have one good copy and you don't or it only happens when the servo's disconnected but I feel like you're detering people from buying this product when I can't replicate it that doesn't seem right to me let me know if you'd like a video of mine

@irok1d Really!?!? How long ago did that happen? I noticed he always wears a Vanquish hat. Then he was on there live feed.

This is just an informational video for the community to understand the flaws in these axles. When I buy Vanquish products, I expect Vanquish quality. Not rotating interference and binding. If someone spends their hard earned money on a set of axles, you would expect them to function properly. Especially from Vanquish. Powdered metal and binding in the steering are disappointing from the H10 Optic. I have lots of vanquish products, and I have not had to cheaply modify them to get them to function properly. Thanks for watching.

How is an o'ring supposed to fix this issue ? Please explain what you have in mind.

They think if you put in o-ring around the ball joint of the steering link it will solve the problem. I tried it before I shaved the axle. It doesn't work. It actually holds it into place where it binds up. If these were aluminum the servo wouldn't power it through the bind and it would lock up. So removing the material is the only permanent fix.
