At 1000 UA-cam subscribers we will be giving away a TRX4M!!
I know in theory the dig setups the same, but I think what some of us noobs need is how the adjustments on the chan 4 would work vs the physical install. The electronics is where I get confused. This is a great vid btw, thanks for making it.
We will work on a video for dig and the stock controller! 🍻🍻
Thanks for the tips and links!!! I can use the exact links cause I'm in Canada but I do appreciate it alot.
Straight forward, simple.and cheap.
❤
Thanks for the kind words, and glad it helped!! 🍻🍻
Great video. No BS or unnecessary talk. Straight to the point and you know what you're doing. Subbed.
Thank you for the support! Cheers!!
Thank you! You saved me so much hassle on this.
Glad it helped!! 🍻🍻
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the support!!
If I wanted to hook over drive up on my rtr, wouldn’t I want it on channel 4 so I could have 6%, rwd only, and 40+% ? I don’t know I’m just asking, I haven’t done any of it yet. I would think dig on 3 and OD on 4 on the rtr controller.
It depends on your application, you could get a better remote, and have front or rear wheel drive if you so choose! 🍻🍻
Needs to be on Chanel four so you can switch to 2wd also. Channel 4 had three settings
Thanks for the video, it's gonna be a big help!!! 👍👍
Glad it will help!! 🍻🍻
Great video. Thanks.
Glad it helped!! 🍻🍻
bout to pull the trigger on the rtr vanquish,,,coming from a 10 yo scx10, it looks amazing,,, why aren't you putting dig? I wanted to see you set it up,,, I like the way you carefully did the overdrive
You won’t regret it! I don’t use dig as it’s not a feature I think I need. Not to say you won’t use it, but I find for the type of driving I do and the terrain I just don’t use dig enough to justify putting the servo in the truck. Since I mainly rock crawl with it I actually don’t even have the overdrive servo in the truck either and just have it locked into overdrive. Installing dig is essentially the same as overdrive, but in a different location (on the battery tray) and with a longer link. I can make a video on installing it if there’s enough interest, but I didn’t want to make a 20 minute tutorial on both since they’re essentially the same process. 🍻 and enjoy the new truck!!
Great video excatly what I was looking for. 👌
Glad it helped! We have another video on setting steering and throttle trims as well.. 🍻🍻
Thanks for this! I just got mine yesterday along with the servos you recommended. Haven’t even driven the truck yet except a quick function test in my home office/hobby space and am about to do this. Subbed as well for more good stuff.
Glad we could help! I hope you have fun with your new truck! Don’t forget to set your steering trims.

@@the-ab-outdoors thanks for the link to the steering and throttle trims as well. Watching that now. First run of the truck wont be until tomorrow or Monday but I’m really excited. This is a huge jump up in capabilities and build quality from my Redcat Gen8 v1 (not all that bad as a trail truck and light crawling) which was my first crawler that I’ve had since original release.
@@smithe68 keep us posted on how you like it!
@@the-ab-outdoors I got out today and I can’t believe how good this truck is out of the box! Two of my buddies with custom builds, open wheel trucks, couldn’t go some of the places I made it up. I didn’t get the overdrive and dig setups done because I didn’t pay attention that my servo horns get shipped at the same time. They will be here tomorrow.
@@smithe68 that’s awesome! It sounds like you had a good time, and that’s what it’s all about!! You’ll get sucked in and before you know it you’ll have a pheonix kit on order lol!! 🍻🍻
DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON THE DIG PART FOR THR VS4-10 RTR
and thanks for the overdrive one!!
The dig install is exactly the same as overdrive, the only difference is the servo goes into the battery tray and you use a longer link for it. However the principle applies to check and validate the endpoints are set much like overdrive.
With dig can you put the rear in neutral and overdrive the front as a sort of faster trail speed?
With dig and overdrive you can put both the front and rear in neutral!
Great info! Thanks, just what I was looking for. Do you know if one of the extra channels on that Vanquish radio can control a winch (3pos switch)?
Yes it sure can!
Thanks guys! Just got myself a "new" transmitter. I love that you can take it apart and stick it in your pockets :-)
@@layoutdeluxe it’s an awesome setup for sure!!
Nice video! Where did you get that XT60 to Traxxas ID adapter?
I got them on Amazon lol… here is the link to them amzn.to/3Z2BkIB
Question: If you were going to add just one which would it be dig or overdrive?
It depends on the application. If it’s an all around trail & fun climb truck then both (if I had to choose overdrive > dig). If it’s a dedicated crawler I’d lock it into overdrive and leave dig off personally. If you plan on doing any competitions with it both will have to be locked out for class 1/2
I’m trying to install the od servo, install went fine other than the fact the od shift arm won’t move…. Any advice?
Have you tried to rotate the wheels slightly and engage od? Sometimes the truck needs to move slightly to engage in dig and od
Are you using the stock motor and esc or did you upgrade yet ? I’m fond of the Hobbywing fusion on my trx4 but I’ve read the fusion and fusion pro doesn’t fit in the phoenix.
Good day! Yep the motor was upgraded to a fusion pro and fit fine, albeit did take some finesse to get it in place. You can check that out here - Vanquish Pheonix RTR - Updates and Bash

Yeah mines not working and I tested the servo in another rig and it works but as soon as I plug it in my vanquish and hit channel 3 it does nothing
Sorry about the luck! Did you try plugging the servo in the other direction? At first when I installed the servo I had the same issue and it was because the plug was backwards.
Yeah I plugged it in both directions and gets no power
@@Cade337 that sucks, sounds like the receiver isn't any good. Did you reach out to vanquish on a possible replacement?
@@the-ab-outdoors yeah I just sent them a email so hopefully I get some input back from them tomorrow
@@Cade337 keep us posted!
