Vanquish Phoenix-Origin Clone: Maiden Run at Mini Moab!
The Phoenix has a new body and I have dubbed it an Origin Clone! The swap was pretty easy since I already had the Origin bumper and sliders from a time when the Phoenix was running the Proline Chevy C-10 body and used those parts.
It also will need the Origin inner fenders to be complete but that can wait since I'm still using the Phoenix inner fenders in the front to run rock lights. I also added some body stickers from the RC4WD Mojave LWB kit that is doing a great job hiding some flaws in the paint!
Of course the best place for a maiden run was going to be Mini Moab which is now my #1 go-to crawling spot!
Thanks for watching and be sure to come back for more Cactus Crawlers RC!

My Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix has had a few different bodies on it besides the OG Phoenix body, from a Amazon Baja Bug body to the Proline Chevy C-10 and now it's time to get something new! The body I chose is the perfect choice for the VS4-10 and the paint job is a color I have been wanting to do for a while. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out and I can't wait to see how it looks out on th...

When I remove the heavy K5 hard body from the FMS FCX24, it turns it into a crawling beast!

      Yes I scratch made mine out of styrene and got the Axial interior parts tree that comes with steering wheel, door handles, window cranks and gear shifter. I put bulges on the sides so it snug fit into the body's shape, that pretty much kept in in place. If you didn't want to do all the scratch building you might be able to make a generic lexan interior fit by trimming of the back passenger area. I hope all this info helps you out!

      Thanks Manitoba! It's crazy that it crawls so good without the hardbody and I really dig the look of the Axial B-17 Betty! That paint really looked great when I first did it, kinda showing it's age now! Thanks for checking out the video, I'm glad you liked it!

      Thanks Paul! I usually get that line when running the J Concepts Ruptures, they really do make a huge difference! It gets pretty hot still and around 9-10am I'm done! Thanks for checking out the video, me and Sarge appreciate it!

    Do you think stock to stock this is better than a scx24? And then which do you think is more upgradable? Great video I really enjoyed it.

    • @CactusCrawlersRC
      @CactusCrawlersRC 13 днів тому

      Hi Shawn, The FXC24 has impressed me since I've swapped out the tires and put a lighter body on it but I still think the SXC24 is probably the better truck. It also has a bigger aftermarket than the FCX24, I really do like them both! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video!
