As soon as I saw the moustache grow in the first like 30 seconds, I was like, he better grow a full beard through this vid. Then there was like 4 mins of no change and I was about to be angry haha. Best video ever. If only my beard would grow that quick. I can't even get that a full a beard after 5 years growth 🤣
We go from a mustache in the start back to the full beard at the end of the video , just waiting on the mutton chops now. The same shirt and hat also. nice touch.
The mustache makes sense now, however the mustache look more like a portal mustache, then a straight axle one.. Missed opportunity. Lol Great video, truck look boss too.
Josh, I hope in one of your live streams we can see both Phoenix' side by side to see which one sits lower. I'm curious if the straight axle is lower even with the 90mm shocks.
Watching the Friday live slapping through my mini sub in my element trailwalker of course supporting the Harley stickers gust installed my freshly panted interior
killer truck , innovative , the kid on rc review built one I'd love to replicate , he had put sound kit and pretty cool doing 2wd donuts and neutral drops with sound effects .
I ain’t lying Josh, I’m upset man. I really don’t care for portals but I bought 2 Phoenix last year. Now y’all have the str8 axles and I absolutely love them. Hook ya boy up or at least trade me 😁. My rigs are still new never ran them but they are partially assembled. Really really luv those str8 axles.
Think I would’ve been sold had Matt also grown facial hair reviewing his! Any east breakdowns on what’s changed on this vs the portal? Heard you mentioned the machined gears and clearly the axles. But been waiting to add one so not sure how much you mentioned had changed.
Woah! the mixture of facial hair is throwing me off - handlebar moustache then major stubble then full beard - All whilst wearing the same shirt - you've got some crazy fast hair growth there man!
dude I had to cut to different moments in the video just to see the beard progress. I was hoping for a grand wizard length beard by the end but was still no disappointed XD
All my trucks are portals, and around here it's mostly trails. I could be seeing a straight axle in my future, been wanting a Phoenix, but debating another Portal truck. Nice Option 👍
Of course you guys come out with this one now. When I just got my VS4-10 Phoenix Portal kit yesterday 😱 And happened to choose the same color that I was going to Use for my body🤦♂️🤣 Either way I can't wait to start building my kit. Please tell me eventually you're gonna sale just to Axel's separately
I built the Vanquish portal truck. I had a problem with the shifting servos. I bought 2 cheap low profile servos from Amazon. My sifting servos were stalling. I was trying to set-up my end points to keep this from happening. Both servos burned out in 30 seconds. I then installed two standard size Futaba servos. They were also stalling. However, I was able to set the end points and they work great. My buddy Jeff was helping me with this and his Amazon servos burned for the same reason as well. Thoughts ?
I have hit and miss luck with Amazon servos. I’ve had one as a dig servo for years in a truck but also had them catch fire doing the exact same thing. Sometimes the cheap stuff is risky.
Any chance you’ll make a comparison video going over whys different on the Phoenix straight vs Portal, Pro, Ultra and Origin? I’m leaning towards this. Would there be any big reason to go with a Pro vs straight Phoenix? The Ultra/Pro owners are telling me to avoid the Phoenix. The Phoenix owners are telling me to go for it. Last question, I have two full sets of Holmes purple bits to go into this and the Element based Gspeed V3. Only one motor is the 1800 and the other is the 2700. If you had to pick which speed would you put in this and an Element based build?
The Pro is my all time favorite truck, but it’s twice the cost. The Pro doesn’t have dig or selectable overdrive, but comes with the standard overdrive with absolutely bulletproof drivetrain (machined gears and steel driveshafts). The shocks on the Phoenix are better IMO. The body is personal preference of course. There are many differences, it doesn’t make one a clear choice over the other though. Motor choices, both will be fine motors in either car. One will be slower of course, but just depends on your driving style.
@@HarleyDesignsInc I just love the idea of the aggressive OD that’s selectable. I did the transfer case reverse with A&M skid on my TF2. Building a 37%+/- element based V3 and learning I can’t trail them that much as things break or get hot. Want something I can keep more stock so figured straight Phoenix, dig locked out and run it with my 2700 purple Holmes set (motor, esc and servo). Leaning towards the power wagon cab though.
I love that throughout the video you start with the 'stache and then the beard gets longer and longer and longer, LMAO. Makes me think back to your Wed. night live with Matt when you said you were doing it for a special thing
If the crawling at the end of the vid is below spalding on bowman i built a course on the other side of the bridge on the left, ask Ernie he will tell ya, my fav area to wheel especially at night
@@HarleyDesignsInc ok. Now I need to decide if I'm going to send my portal back that's supposed to show up Saturday, order the straight or keep portal and order straight. Your videos help me a lot man. Thanks for the feedback.
How long were those rigs sitting for the poser shot? There is a spiderweb and spider running around in the video. Awesome add to your fleet. This might be the base to my first comp build.
what happened to overdrive being 33%? now its over 40%. i saw a thread where a guy said its 46%. which one is it? 46 is an insane amount of overdrive. seems like false advertising saying its 33 when its not
I love how Josh's beard grew as the video went on😂
I just noticed that and thought the same thing.the molestache slow vanished 🤔
Wondering if it was shot over a 1-week, 2-week, or 3-week period. Obviously, Josh did this on purpose, to see how many people notice. 🤙🏼
Thinking the same thing
Lmao glad im not the only one wounding the same

That 5 o’clock shadow came in fast lol
Good God the Stache grew Legs!! I can NOT un-see it now. Paint job is looking great Josh!!
Just ordered mines rn 🎁should be here Tuesday! 🥳
I'm intrigued. Does this truck come with the 15 minute beard enhancement option?
And a pack of Extenze from the 90’s!
@@HarleyDesignsInc [car salesman from joe dirt] Hoo-rah
@@HarleyDesignsInc I like when you have the KC shirt with the Aaron Rodgers mustache!
The portal mustache at the beginning was a nice touch.
Wow. This guy knows enough about this rig to work for Vanquish. 😉😆
Do these axles come with the brass tubes as well??? Cheers
IM SO HAPPY THIS HAS MADE MY DAY. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO BE RELEASED. HAPPY DAYS 😁🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼👍🏼
DO NOT TRUST BEARDED JOSH.
I found the beard growth hilarious, like in the tv ads where the guy at the gym gets more and more ripped as the comercial progresses.
Yes please! You can also put your body clips in those spare tire holes. They lightly snap right in.
We go from a mustache in the start back to the full beard at the end of the video , just waiting on the mutton chops now. The same shirt and hat also. nice touch.
Great job VP! Love the straight axle option! This Phoenix is the best new release of the week!!!!!!!

Great video, truck look boss too.
The beard growing is just awesome 👏
Josh, I hope in one of your live streams we can see both Phoenix' side by side to see which one sits lower. I'm curious if the straight axle is lower even with the 90mm shocks.
Interesting to listen to the master designer speak. So much knowledge
Lol. I just order another Phx portal last night and now this bad boy come out today!
Josh, you went from Magnum P.I. to Fu man chu in seconds. Impressive!
Watching the Friday live slapping through my mini sub in my element trailwalker of course supporting the Harley stickers gust installed my freshly panted interior
I’m impressed but!!!….. WHATS EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS HOW YOU GREW A FULL BEARD IN 23MINUTES!!!!!!… now send me a kit please. Always great content !
That moustache has a life force of its own.
On my list to make a prerunner🤙😎
I think that beard deserves the phoenix to have a dukes of hazard paint scheme.
Great vid, thx for the effort to bring all these informations to us. Seems like there are 3 weeks worth of outtakes 😅
Tom Selleck? Thanks for the info. It arrived Friday. Built it this week end.
Which one craw the best
Love it ! Great Review Josh.
killer truck , innovative , the kid on rc review built one I'd love to replicate , he had put sound kit and pretty cool doing 2wd donuts and neutral drops with sound effects .
The Harleymania is running wild, brother!
Thank you! I will buy it whenever it comes on sale.
Will the Phoenix chassis except the Fusion Pro 2200kv?

@@WasNiksIsNiksWordtNiks I’m only laughing to hide my pain 😂. I’m really in my feelings 😁
So which one do I buy? The portal or the straight axle? And why?
Think I would’ve been sold had Matt also grown facial hair reviewing his!
Any east breakdowns on what’s changed on this vs the portal? Heard you mentioned the machined gears and clearly the axles. But been waiting to add one so not sure how much you mentioned had changed.
You forgot the link to whatever 20 minute beard growing product you used
Thanks I had buyers remorse three weeks ago and now I know why.. who wants a brand new portal kit. It’s a roller never used yet 😵💫😂😂
You mean on par with everyone else for a change as far as price!!!!
Will those orange shock caps be your first change to your truck Josh?
Woah! the mixture of facial hair is throwing me off - handlebar moustache then major stubble then full beard - All whilst wearing the same shirt - you've got some crazy fast hair growth there man!
I’m here. I’m liking it. I’m commenting on it to feed that hungry algorithm. Boost it google tube.
Hmm, now I want the straight axle kit with a rear portal
dude I had to cut to different moments in the video just to see the beard progress. I was hoping for a grand wizard length beard by the end but was still no disappointed XD
Did he say you can pivot like a new bronco? Like a cutting brake?
Finally picking up one of these kits. Any thing to look out for
Just Ordered one from vanquish! Great Salesmanship!
You really know how to tug at one’s wallet Josh!!! Looks great and nice job!!!
Man! Your beard grows crazy fast!!
That a vs410 straight axle BROTHER!!!
Yeah, my word to Vanquish, please PLEASE keep making kits!! I am so tired of garbage electronics! Kits seem to becoming dinosaurs nowadays
Let’s hope! RTRs just sell so much better than kits, so in the world of sales numbers it’s hard to keep doing.
Hey Josh, does the phoenix straight axle have the same links as the pro? I want to put a pro body on my phoenix
All my trucks are portals, and around here it's mostly trails. I could be seeing a straight axle in my future, been wanting a Phoenix, but debating another Portal truck. Nice Option 👍
More options the better!
EEEEYYYYH! It’s Burt reynolds👌🏼😄
woah easy there uncle grandpa! love the new straight axle phoenix and the new stash... lol
Is there a U.K. distributer you can put me on to? Would love one of these. Thanks
Y is there a all machine steel gear set, but not the dig lock out bit 🤔???
Of course you guys come out with this one now.

I like it Josh. Good job dude.
Like button energized. On the AMain wish list.
I wondered what happened to Lawrence from Office Space. Turns out his big into RCs these days.
nice - i knew i needed another rc car

@@HarleyDesignsInc You know, now that you mention it. I bought a red high torque servo from Amazon and it was okay.
As always love it love it your no daisy at all , who was wheeling the green truck? Great showing of the straight axle love it . Awesome driving Josh
Hey what color green is the other vanquish ?
Moosejaw RC painted them, I don’t know the exact answer.
Were the f10 portals 1:1 gear ratio so no need to reduce transmission gear ratio?
No, they had a 1.4:1 reduction. The spur and pinion was adjusted to compensate.

How much does it weigh?
Pretty cool. Makes it look more scale. Portals are sweet. I may get one of these. Does the Tamiya driver still fit in this.
Yes, same driver works for all the interiors!

Awesome.
Now I have to buy this..... after the wedding hahahaha.
Love the streight axles man
VP Still holds best release.
God damn, how long did this video take to shoot?
IT'S A MIRACLE! Grew a beard in under 7 minutes.
I have a question…
If I was to put these new F10 straight axles on my Phoenix portal, would I need a new link set, or just new shocks?
Just shocks and adjust your spur and pinion
Gotcha
What spur and pinion would I need?
So now we know the reason for the stash!
does the axles have the brass sleeve like the portal Phoenix?
SBG said they do not
@@jasonbecker4997 thanks, I missed that info. Thanks!
did I hear you say the aluminum axle covers for the vs410 pro even tough they are f9 and not f10?
Yes, still a direct bolt on.
@@HarleyDesignsInc ok. Now I need to decide if I'm going to send my portal back that's supposed to show up Saturday, order the straight or keep portal and order straight. Your videos help me a lot man. Thanks for the feedback.
Electric Rock Goats....love the video...
Can you use the soa mount that you covered on then
By the end of the video, I was expecting full ZZ Top beard.
Damn Josh your beard grows fast!
How long were those rigs sitting for the poser shot? There is a spiderweb and spider running around in the video.
Awesome add to your fleet. This might be the base to my first comp build.
Cheapest? Go with most affordable, or least expensive! I am glad this option is coming to the market!
It’s the UA-cam buzz word of the month, gotta do what we gotta do 😁
A free vanquish work mat with it, you had me at stright axle and sold me with the mat 😂
Does the transmission have the same gearing as the portal Phoenix?
The axles, no. The overall ratio is adjusted by the spur and pinion to make both trucks close to equal.
@@HarleyDesignsInc
Thanks
Got the stash, need the mullet 😱😂🏴☠️
the mustache went portal mode
Yer mustache has portals bwaahaahaa y'all have a badass day 🤘
That Stache is totally in charge of this video
what happened to overdrive being 33%? now its over 40%. i saw a thread where a guy said its 46%. which one is it? 46 is an insane amount of overdrive. seems like false advertising saying its 33 when its not
Good looking truck!
Nice! I love that color, Josh! What color is it? Tamiya?
Moosejaw painted them, so I don’t know what he used.
Well now i can finally pull th trigger on a phoenix!
Fumanchu got tears in my eyes 😆🤣
is that 5 different beard lengths? have you ever grown a big beard? i bet you could grow a pretty sweet one
Beard coming in nicely as you went along. How many takes did you have to do lol
I'm just here for the time stamping via beard growth.
Thanks!
Real life homer Simpson beard 😄 🤣
Over drive helps me turn too
