Just finished up my Phoenix Portal build with o/d and dig servos. This was my first build and I was amazed that I got it all together with no problems. Haven’t had a chance to hit the trails or rocks just a few runs in the backyard to test everything. Enjoy and have fun!
$379 + transmitter and electronics? $479 + portals, bedsides, interior and limited edition-ness? I'm guessing lots of folks are going to dump money into customizing it anyway. $579 probably isn't too far off.
Great video and info. I’ve been looking for a video with the overhear transmission engaging. I’m trying to learn. Does this kick in to 2nd gear like the Traxxas TRX4s and go faster when hitting trails? Thanks
It changes the front gearing from about 6% overdrive to almost 20% I believe in second position, and some people put a 3rd step in it to go into neutral.. the second transmission servo is for dig and / or neutral as well .

Playing with mine now!
Wondering how much difference in wheel speed a fusion pro 2300 would do?
It will definitely be a step up. How much is hard to tell but I would say yes you will get more wheel speed
The portals make a huge difference.
I’m planning a video of this and my vanquish at home to see if that’s true
Thank you for telling us the $100 difference.

Yes when you break it down you do see a little of the value. Either way it’s a great truck, I am definitely pleased

My son burnt up his stock servo on the first rock. Slapped in a reefs raw 500 no more worries.
I’m a shifts guy myself. Isn’t gonna be long before I put one in and put the stock on the dig
Assembly and fit and finish 100 bucks is a steal sorry..
