Well here it is!!! My first 1/10 crawler. I am a huge upgrade fan and have several multi thousand $ bashers. I want to crawl. I tried a trx4m and put like 600 into it and it just wasnt good. Sold it to a friend and gave up. I did more and more and more research and decided on a vanquish vs4-10 phoenix portal build kit. Wow what a treat building this thing!!! It just went super flawless until body fitment. I emailed a couple times and they called me and told me exactly what to do. What a cool company. ANYWAY. As I was building. I kept wanting to upgrade haha. Also through some really top notch stuff in there..
Xerun axe r3 combo 1400kv sensored brushless combo
Reefs raw 500 brass steering servo (already have the programmer
King 90mm dual rate shocks.
F10 axle weights and steering knuckles 275g front, 191g rear
Cheapo but awsome steel skid plates of Amazon
Lightbar and lights with on off strobe/flash/blink/slow controller
I tried some Amazon "best quality" servos but 1 died in 10 minutes on maiden voyage so I ordered 2 x reefs 422hd v2. While I was waiting 10days I started 3d printing a solid carbon fiber roll cage and roof rack and stuff to put in there lol.
I wanted firmer foams so went to hobby store and ended up grabbing ... proline baja pro mickey Thompson 1.9 x 2 tires with UPGRADERC dual stage foams and some offset injora gorgeous beedlocks with weights.
That and the paint (never painted a body ever) shit... I am like so proud of this thing. I guess its the same as the good bashers... I become obsessed with making it awesome hahahah
So I wanted to show it off!!! Did I do good? I booked a week camping starting April 30 and will be testing it all out. Going to bring 2 crazy bashers as well. Its an rv rc outing!!! Please feedback me. I am in love with this "thing" I made hahaha
