Top notch video. The fact that you got the badge on both the box and the sticker sheet is nothing but proper appreciation of the work you do Matt, well deserved! You are down to earth and honest and tell it like it is and in many of our books from a viewer standpoint that simply is the best things about you. I wish more UA-cam creators would realize this... There is no need to be over the top all the time, its just tiring to see. Also, I think that Josh has more respect for you and your knowledge then most understand and that's also a reason to the badge on the box.. Well Done!!
That is very kind of you to say, thank you so much!
Very well said Pelle!! I can’t agree more on everything you stated. Very well done Matt and keep up the great work!!!
I agree with all that...very true.
You took the words out of my mouth! Haha.
Good job Matt! As always my friend! Always look forward to live and vids you do.
Finally a vs410 with a price tag for mere mortals 😍 hoping it makes is way to this side of the Atlantic 😁
Insanely cool! On the list! 😁
Fantastic review as always Matt! I still think you're the king of scale crawler B-Roll. Cheers!
Thank you!
Hey! Thought that Josh had covered everything about this new product; but, you still had more to add. Great job Matt. Ordered one; but, I (like you) will probably convert it to straight axles when they become available.
Great video. Never had a Vanquish truck, always wanted one. Getting the price down to a more 'reasonable' level will surely get more people buying them and then, at some point, upgrading to the more high-level parts. Love the body as well!
I went Wednesday to my local hobby store and waited while they unloaded off the truck and was the first to get one and I intend on using all options available and am almost done building love it and can't get enough of the hobby love the videos you do and have a good day
Holy dirt surfer, it's like the Swiss Army knife of RC Crawlers (less the tooth pick). Well done Matt for a great breakdown video and Vanquish for doing a great value kit.
I 100% agree that this has to be one of the coolest and most innovative releases for this year, and I hope it sets the tone for the year to come! Allowing a much broader audience to get into a Vanquish kit is genius, and that price point is even better than expected. I look forward to a straight axle kit!
This is so sick!!! I can’t wait to see the build video! I might finally be getting a vanquish truck 🤞
Dude same same
You're my favorite RC reviewer and video maker. I've never done a kit but you've inspired me and I think I'm going to try this one. I'm nervous and excited all at once. Kudos on the color too, looks fantastic.
Agree
Yes, finally something I can get behind. After searching for something to build for ages now.
Great looking truck. Glad the price isn't silly high as well! The vs10 is a dream and I love it, but this is now HOT on my radar.
Great idea Vanquish! I’ve never built a crawler kit before but have been thinking of doing one. This kit will be the one I buy.
I love my Phoenix. I comp with it, and it's truly amazing. I can't wait to get my 2nd one.
I agree with you, it's a smart move to get in at a lower price point and expand the Vanquish Customer base and get more Quality Vanquish product out on the rocks.
A video isnt a video until it goes quiet allowing the rig and nature to form harmonious matrimony.
Good work Mr. Guild
This is probably my favorite trail truck to have ever released. Your attention to detail never goes unnoticed! You do an excellent job of going over kits for someone who may be looking to decide which one they wanna spend their money on. Great job!
Great review of this ground breaking truck from Vanquish. You should see 'that other guy' thanking you and getting embarrassed about missing it by traveling, as he does. I liked your call for straight axles and I hope they take notice. I will wait until then. Thank you.
Great video, as usual. I really appreciated the end portion when you stopped commentary so we could really enjoy the sound of the truck. Killer paint job, as well, always high caliber from you, sir. By the way, the fallen tree trunk towards the end with the amazing texture was really cool, thank you for adding that few seconds of footage of it. Beautiful.
Wow! Thank you so much!!!
Everything you said X10! Such a great build that I want to build it again.
Very nice detailed look at the new Vanquish Products product!! This new VS4-10 Phoenix looks great and I can’t wait to add one to my collection! Looking forward to the upcoming vids of this rig in the future.
Hope you enjoy it!
This is a damn impressive truck!! I also appreciate you have the option of using or not the dig and overdrive. You can build it in a simple way at the beginning and when you will add the servos for those features, it will be like putting some hop ups on it. Ladies and gentlemen at Vanquish, well done!
Loved the Crawling portion ! RC crawling sounds are my ASMR. repost just the crawl portion so I can add to my pure crawling (no music) playlist ! ha ha Thx Matt
Ok just got to the "will add a stand alone running video", without music ? or does that get too boring for people. Looking forward to more on this one !!
I'll play it by ear. I've got enough footage I could do two, one with and one without music.
@@scalebuildersguild I actually like both, the correct music can really add a dramatic feel to the video, on the rare occasion I still make Compilation Videos with music, I make an effort to have some synchronization between the action and the music, using an element of the music to highlight a moment in the video. I noticed you have an talent for this also.
Finally I’ll be able to grab up a vanquish truck!! Love the whole package of it even though my build will be very budget oriented lol 👍
Just in time for Christmas, a sub $600 VS410, well done Vanquish...
We all know that in reality very very few drivers actually require aluminum housing. Yes, they look better yes, the added weight is nice but most people don't need them. This looks like an amazing kit. I will never buy one but just the same it looks very nice. Shiftable variable overdrive is badass.
Aluminium vs plastic. Not much of a weight difference. I would definitely stay with stock plastic. They look more than strong enough on this kit. Especially with the included brass tubes.
Great video Matt! Rig looks awesome man, the light kit sets it off just right! This kit will definitely be in my RC garage..running all mechanical options! ⚙️😎🤙💯
I really enjoy your videos, this thing is going to be incredible. My Vs4-10 Pro goes with me on every outing. I simply can't wait to get this kit. Your question, mine will be totally optioned out with a winch as well. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Matt for the very detailed review of this new product. Vanquish nailed it yet again.
Much appreciated!
Great work Matt! Looking forward to getting one of these
Hope you enjoy it!
Your one of my favourite youtube channels, possibly my favourite. Great job as always, I'm seriously considering this awesome kit... john
Wow! Thanks! This is a great kit, so go for it!
Just ordered one tonight. Always wanted a Vanquish crawler, knowing what they were about & the quality of them. Have had about every other good brand out there. Looking forward to completing the kit & getting it out on the trail. Thanks for a detailed review like always, long time (just subscribed) fan of SBG. Started racing when I worked at a hobby shop back in the late 90's & been hooked in this great hobby ever since. Cheers from Tulsa, Okla.
Thanks for the Sub! I think you'll love the VS4-10! Such a great kit!
Can't wait to buy one. I think it's a boss truck. Looking forward to building it...great video!!!
I just ordered mine. Crap what did I do. I should of never watched this video. The SCX6 and now this?????? oh my gosh this is RC insanity. I'm going to run it with all 3 servos as it is intended to be. This just nuts. Great video as always.
Very damn cool. I will have one and will be my second Vanquish truck. Love the content as always Matt keep it up.
first step is done, this beautiful build done and ready ready for the elektronic and rc stuff, very nice to build and a geat kit
UGH!!! The more I see this truck the more I want one! Unfortunately I will need to make a hard choice as to what truck to get rid of...
Thanks for another excellent video!!!
Cheers
Doc
I would build it with all the options if I bought this kit! This is really cool. Nice looking truck!
Yes!!! Finally a functioning transfer case with 2 and 4 wheel drive and wait....a locking dig as well, all controlled with the radio?!!! I can't believe it!!!. Nicely done Vanquish. Now offer some lockable diffs as an option and I'll be in Rc heaven. Im buying one right now........of course they are out of stock!!!
I have always preferred Beef Tubes and a plastic axle. Easy to replace, slides better and way more affordable. This thing is sick. Love those shocks. I really dig that new transmission. I would use all the options including the winch servo. I am sure Josh is proud.
I want one! Very cool rig indeed. I like what you did with the body work, Wheel/tire combo gonna match it perfect 👍
Tell Josh to give you commission on my order, lol. I had it ordered not even 5 minutes into your video. I saw that new transmission yesterday, then seeing this chassis was cheaper AND came with the new transmission?! SOLD! CAN'T WAIT!
Just purchased one today at my local hobby shop. Color ways and color decisions. This will be a challenge! Great video.
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Loving this truck. Nice build too. That paint colour is great. Only Matt could wax lyrical about 3D printed intercoolers and a tube of grease and make it entertaining. How would I build this truck? I’d put in all the options to start. I’m not competing with it so don’t need to save weight.
I got caught watching this video again and now there are 2 Phoenix's on the way to the house. Wel there goes my SCX6!
I never been a fan of vanquish products, but this truck looks awesome and the price is right. I'm definitely getting one.
Love the the truck reminds me a lot of the Diahtsu F40 I had, that looked a lot like the Toyota FJ range, the colour choice is a lot nicer than Josh's Jaffa Orange scheme, so many innovations nice to see, my friends were putting money on how long before you ditch the portals for standard ones the tyre choice you have selected looked a little on the large side IMHO but I know they will work well if they do not foul the body too much, I was thinking why no upper cage then remembered Josh's theme keep the weight low down.
Still a little to dear for me as by the time I have paid import duties and shipping to the UK Vanquish vehicles are too pricey a shame but no one imports them to the UK.
I think this is a great truck. A great honest review that highlights everything about it. Even the bits you don't personally like are not really deal breakers and are more of a personal choice than anything.
I appreciate that!
Ordered one, thanks for the video. I’m all for every feature, can’t wait to start this build.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome Rig I'm definitely getting one. Great review Thank you for the video it was very helpful. The transmission with selectable overdrive sold me immediately.
Thanks for watching and I'm sure you'll love it!
I still can't get over this truck. Truly an innovative rig. Axial hasn't proven much to me since the scx10-2 honcho. I feel they haven't been in the game as far as being innovative,for a while. Dont get me wrong, axial rigs are awesome, but they are going to have to do more than add jeep bodies and make them big enough to ride before I buy another Axial. Im just ready for more functionality. I want more realism. This Phoenix is awesome. Can't wait to see what the competition decides to do. I hope the transmitter companies are paying attention as well. We are going to need more than 6 channels if we are going to control theses digs, overdrives, winches ,lights, locking diffs, and.....oh yeah it has to move and steer too. Great video as always.
As usual great video Matt! Spelling errors, they shouldn’t let Josh proofread!
I think this is great. The best part is the selectable OD!
I’m always torn between trailing and crawling. Not having to chose which rig to play with is a game changer!
A rig that is both plus a dig? Awesome!
Now I need a 6 channel radio! Because I’ll add a winch and lights!
Thanks again For the video Matt! Looking forward to the build vids!
Could be why Josh mentioned that 10ch radio recently 🤔🤷♂️😎..I can’t wait to get my hands on this kit!💯🤙
Yeah…… I need a new radio!
Well looks like I won’t be ordering the Losi 5t and will be ordering another vanquish 🤣 what a great looking truck.
Samcruiser JT.. perfect release! Thinks for thanking of us vanquish and of course a thorough review from the SBG👍🏻
Any time!
Great truck! I always option out my rigs and this one with its incredible innovations will be no different. Bravo on the amazing as always video, Matt and kudos to VP for a great addition to the fam!
Matt, nice video with your articulated (very well) explanation. Also liked the back ground music thru out. I've watched Josh's video and ya both have a real enthusiasm for this new release. This truck is certainly on my radar. To answer your question: I think I'd be on the side of optioning the features as I go. That way I can explore vehicle and enjoy it over time. Thats just me. Many thanks for the effort you put it. I enjoy tuning in and the comedy is always fun. Cheers!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@scalebuildersguild
The price point is spot on (my opinion). Strong consideration with one..
Omg! I wish I could get one right now. Exactly what I am looking for.
if Steve from Blues Clues reviewed RC!!! 😂👍🏼👍🏼 love the content!
I have had this truck a bit now....just now got out to run it through my local spot....all I can say is WOW....I laughed out loud several times as it would pull the krazest lines(for a trail truck)it's like the easy button on the side of a ledge with one line up...4.45 pb rockbeast brushed setup....nice truck... as you would say...
Glad that you like it!
Oh my, I want one. Josh's video came up first in my feed so I knew what I was in for. I need to find a unimog body now...
Soo excited for this one! Awesome vid Matt!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Man finally a vanquish rig the average guy can afford!!! I have put this on my next purchase list. Thanks for the great video!! Keep them coming!!
You bet!
Wow, Vanquish really killed it with this kit. 2WD/4WD/Dig and selectable overdrive for $500?! Plus a cool modern looking FJ45 truck body with an interior and hidden body posts... this is so tempting. As always thanks for the great video!
Excellent video as always. I was not expecting a new truck from Vanquish but I am glad to see it, my wallet won’t be :)
I love my VS4-10 Ultra and this Phoenix looks fantastic. Love the body style and the transmission really impresses me. I will be going with both extra servos because I love DIG units on my trucks and the selectable overdrive is a killer function. Hats off to SBG for giving great reviews and to Vanquish on another fantastic looking platform.
Just got my Phoenix today, starting to build it. I'm so excited and love your video. I'm going to start with overdrive and diff locked out into I can pick up some nice servos and radio system to option it out and use all the features.
Hope you enjoy it!
29 minutes in, look at that tree, awesome patterns on it 🤷🏻♂️ had to comment 👍👍
Oh yeah full options all day long and i'm SOOOO Excited about an option for RWD only. For some of that scale 'to the trail' head stuff I think that's going to be very fun! Got a few things for sale and if they sell I'll be on that pre-order list!
As someone who came from full size trail trucks I agree, 2wd was a long time coming!
Fantastic build Matt, great color! Very informative.
Just Ordered One! Thanks for the Video, it sealed the deal for me to pick one up!😃
Man....I didn't need it, but I bought it. Thank you for that.... (in Dr. Phil's voice).
I was all set to buy a VS4-10 chassis and VFD transmission kit, plus the Axial SCX10 III axle/shock set for a new project... so this is PERFECT timing!
I’m gonna get this kit next year because I just finished a scx10.3 today. And this truck feels like it’s got a lot of scx10.3 in it. I’m gonna paint orange and black it looks the best
Time for some 2022 quality SBG comp stancing with this VS4-10. Fun review and cool build, thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing I love the detail and I love what they’ve done to the transmission, and the price point wow
I totally agree!
This is just too good to be true! I can’t wait to pick one up! Thanks for so many awesome videos
What a fantastic list of features. This is high level stuff. The hardcore RC enthusiasts should be pleased.
ordered mine yesterday, and it will get everything, 9channel graupner mc28 is planed to use for this truck
I Had to order one. Love the raw footage at the end
Well Matt, you sold this one well! I'm excited for this kit, it's Vanquish, it's priced well, plastic axles for better sliding over obstacles, who knew I needed selectable overdrive but I do now, it's got dig, and it's not a Jeep body!
And now you went and made me order one. Yay for RPP and same day announcement and release!
This is the first time I've seen this model. It's cool.
thanks for the indepth review Guild!!!
As always fully detailed and superb video! Got to go with all the toys available on the fly.
Fully agree as ive collected some Vanquish Products. Quality Assured Eh Time
This is the vanquish kit I have been waiting for.
You can see the thought that the guys at Vanquish put into this. It is a really great looking truck and wow, that transmission :-) For me though a Vanquish has to have aluminium axles. Do they offer a performance benefit over plastic?? Probably not but thats just me. Im therefore going to withstand the pressure and wait on a deluxe version. BTW as usual a great vid. Well done.
I also used the grease that came with the kit, reminds me of Horizon Hobbys Marine grease, living in the pacific NW requires good WP products. Enjoy your videos, Thanks K
Thanks for watching!
Waiting on mine to arrive. Can't wait to start putting it together
Enjoy it!
Ordered mine today, it will be fully optioned, not sure on electronics or tires yet. Great video Matt.
Finally a "drivers" VS-410. I cant wait to get one.
This is defiantly something I am now considering, very cool truck. Can't wait to see the build vehicle and I would build it with the extra servo's. That would add a new element to the trails.
I'm with you on the portals, they're not for me, but you're right in saying that's what's popular at the moment; so be it. However, that new VFD2 transmission/tcase is sick!!! The shiftable different overdrive ratios is a real game-changer for sure!!!! I know plastic works better for being slick on multiple surfaces and allowing you to bump some obstacles more easily, but I'm a die-hard metal guy just for the scale; I build more for form over function. lol They did definitely nail it on this one for today's market. I think with all the cool features and lower price point, these will sell great. We have four on the way to the shop that will be here tomorrow. A great review and video, as usual, Matt!
Such a smart move to offer a quality kit at a lower price that is accessible for a larger crowd.
Next manual you should proof read, before Vanquish prints them, plus make the build go even smoother as you'd have went over it thoroughly. Great review, what a top end truck!
Great info, nice looking rig and great new performance options.
Just ordered, can't wait for it to start the build in Australia.
Love the SBG videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Hope you enjoy it!
It is One Of The Best Ever, Just like your Baja Bug and Others in our eyes
Hi from Montreal, Quebec great video, love the way you explain everthing in details. For me, I would have the overdrive and dig, maybe even add a servo winch !!
Thanks for the detailed review.
I had so much fun.
Subscribe and like.
I will watch it often.
thank you.👍👍👍💯
Best looking crawler I’ve seen, I want one but I’m scared of the build difficulty so I’ll be looking forward to that video!
Don’t stress it! Instructions are very straight forward! A very enjoyable build!
Perfect timing. 50th birthday present to myself. Thanks Matt for yet another amazing and comprehensive video. One question, can you link to a video for this noob on painting tips for Lexan bodies? I have avoided them for years but I really like the looks of this one.
