@@marcpoletti9511 glad they finally fixed the issue! We have to admit regardless of our feelings on the truck, it can lay down some good lines!! 🍻🍻

I wish! 🍻🍻

Sounds good, we’ll get something going when we get back from vacation! That’s the way to do it, we only use the spray jugs because they’re free and hold 250 gallons. A electric pump is definitely a requirement lol 🍻🍻

It’s a blast! Makes me want to move here lol 🍻🍻

Thank you! We’ll be using them for sure, just trying to figure out what ifr/rings to run.. 🍻🍻

It’s my go to truck for anything serious! 🍻🍻

Thank you for the kind words!! 🍻🍻

I’ll have to check it out, I haven’t heard anything on them. I’ll have to follow them, and order one! 🍻🍻

That’s the next motor to try 🍻🍻

The motor is a sensor less motor, and the esc is configured to run in sensor less mode. So I can’t hook up a sensor, but I will be getting a castle sensored motor to test soon! 🍻🍻

One day in the future we’ll get one and test it!! 🍻🍻

I spent 15 minutes during the initial drop getting mine (they broke the website and it took a while to fix it), and that first drop sold out in 4 minutes then they added a second wave the first day. It’s extremely frustrating for sure! 🍻🍻

Spillway at Pamona Lake in KS 🍻🍻

We got lucky for sure!! 🍻🍻

Agree, it's an awesome place near the highway and easy to get to! 🍻🍻

I didn’t know you guys were so close. I’m over in Olathe. Very cool

@@curtkelsey2136 I got lucky! I hope you get one! 🍻🍻

@@the-ab-outdoors no joy maybe next year.

@@curtkelsey2136 that sucks sorry to hear it! There should be another tof at the end of the year time frame. 🍻

Mine was 12.6lbs and it was a portal stance rtr with wheels, hubs, rings, heavy brass front end weights, plastic portal covers and carbon frame rails

It's hard to say really, I've seen that weights don't really matter as someone has gotten 2 builders kits in their box. I was sure I got a stance or fordyce in the 12# box lol. Hopefully you get what you want! 🍻🍻

you hit the jackpot it sounds like!! 🍻🍻

Glad you like it!! 🍻🍻

I went to go measure it for you and realized I sold the ascent roller and no longer have it.... sorry buddy!! 🍻🍻

We'll have to give the Gmade a shot!! 🍻🍻

Happy to help!! 🍻🍻

You will be very happy with the vanquish!! 🍻🍻

Thank you sir!! 🍻🍻

Thanks for the feedback! 🍻🍻

Great points, and thank you for the kind words!! 🍻🍻

Thank you for the feedback! It's a little crazy to expect people to spend $235 dollars additionally on a brand new truck to upgrade all the sintered gearing to machined. That turns a $500 truck into: - truck - $500 - gearing - $235 - motor (fusion se) - $80 - wheels (vanquish) - $180 - tires (generic) - $60 - your receiver - $40 Total - $1095 - before tax & shipping Just the diff replacements for a single axle are $55 pre tax & shipping. So yes we would expect that we should be able to put a cheap fusion se into this truck and not immediately break the rear diff driving it. Another interesting point is people are breaking them with the bone stock systems in it, what is the reason for this? Again as stated in the video the main reason for the complaints are due to the history of the Vanquish name, and how this specific product doesn't necessarily follow all that came before it. 🍻🍻

The only thing you would need to replace are the diff’s. I have a castle mamba/2850 slate in my 410 rtr(sintered gears) and fusion pro in my Stance(sintered gears). Haven’t had any issues. It comes down to driving style. It even says that it’s a trail rig on the box. It’s not made to be a rock bouncer or racer. All of the things you listed are the owners choice to do. It’s no different than a real car. You can’t put a V8 in a car with a 4 cylinder and not expect to have to upgrade anything else. That’s the way this hobby is. The 1/24 and 1/18 works is even worse. Buy a $150 car that you know you are going to drop $350 in upgrades to it. As for people breaking stock vehicles, that’s not an uncommon thing with people that don’t know how to drive. I worked at a hobby shop for a while and people couldn’t understand that parts break. They didn’t want to hear that the vehicle wasn’t indestructible. It didn’t matter if it was a $120 scx24 or a $1500 xmaxx ultimate. They also didn’t want to hear that it was their crap driving that caused the part to break. I love my Vanquish trucks. Am I fan boy, sure, but i also love my Axial and Traxxas trucks as well. While i may disagree on the Optic, you make great videos! Thanks for the content.

@@aaroncarr5725 great discussion and counter points! 🍻🍻 Thank you for watching!

The box is 22” wide x 11.5” tall x 11.25” deep. We hope your son enjoys it!!! 🍻🍻

@@the-ab-outdoors thank you very much, which tool kit do you recommend (electric screw driver ) to remove parts on the cars

The VRD Carbon would be my first choice LOL 🍻🍻

We haven't done much with micro crawlers as of late, but we'll have to check them out! 🍻🍻

Sure can! 🍻🍻

I was going to put some vanquish f10s on it….. but…. I didn’t want to spend the money lol 🍻🍻

Congrats on your truck, they’re awesome!! What do you mean by going bad? These little trucks can take a lot of abuse!! 🍻🍻

Thank you for the kind words!! 🍻🍻

You mean set the motor kv or adjust another setting? We’re about to drop a test of the fusion pro 2300kv, and I think it’ll be shocking compared to these drone esc/motor setups! 🍻🍻

If I made mine brushless. Prior to the new ascent Do I have a ascent 1.5?

Oh man, when I saw they made one with all the freaking upgrades already done, I was pissed!

The first gen Ascent is still $100 cheaper and for some people that's a big deal. BUT, I agree, shit timing with the release of the Fusion. They should have been more transparent so, yeah, I think most people are pretty pissed! 😡

@@JJ-ws3zn i did the same lets put em together and call it an ascent 8x8 v3 😁😆

@@amie704 same bro f redcat for that lol

Pretty good statement there!! 🍻🍻

Thank you for the kind words!! 🍻🍻

They're awesome trucks!! 🍻🍻

🍻🍻

It will fit yes, however it’s not plug and play you will have to make modifications to the front mounts or make new ones, and the skid will also need to be changed. 🍻🍻
