Your enthusiasm for this kit is clearly conveyed by the EXCELLANT use of English language. You clearly specify your excitement with the thoroughness of the critical thinking skills of a well seasoned mechanical engineer.
Wow I love this hobby so much cool stuff out there. I feel you nothing to mod a real builders truck. I know your cooking up something special for this gem. Somebody with intimate knowledge of the hobby had a major role in the process of this rig. Like the trx4 beautifully engineered but so many modifications to achieve something like this. Thank You H/S and of course Vanquish I will definitely be adding one to the stable.
I myself have just ordered the RTR version of the Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix. You get so much for only 478.00 US . I’m so excited about this model. Going to recieve in two days. Previous crawlers are Element Enduro Trail Runner , Gatekeeper, Ecto , may paint a ProLine Dodge Power Wagon to use on my Phoenix RTR
Don't know if you've had a chance to run it yet but the screw in the bottom of the skid plate going into the motor mount usually ends up throwing your spur and pinion mesh off. Would suggest not running it. Also look into the shift boot mod basically take the finger tip of a nitrile glove poke a hole into it and use that as a shift boot. I've done it and haven't had any dirt or dust get into my trans.
Great video you have always been a huge player in the Rc game so hearing your opinion on the vanquish build helps to assure me that what we’ve all heard about this truck is true and it’s time to buy one , once I finish up what’s on the bench now
You will enjoy the build from start to finish, guaranteed. I can not flaw it anywhere, it is a great kit and the new price tag makes it an incredible value for money offering. Have fun building! 😃
Olive green met witte accenten zou denk wel mooi zijn. Maar het is jouw project dus je moet vooral nadenken waar je zelf de komende jaren tegen aan wilt kijken! Vorrige week toevallig 1tje in het echt gezien, en het zijn echt prachtige dingen😍
I enjoyed my kit build just as much as you mate.. I enjoy wheeling it just as much too. Looking forward to your paint scheme. Cheers Chris, have a great day👍
I too bought the kit at the price change. If there is one thing I will say I dislike it is the flex of the mount that operates the front overdrive. It either needs more mounting locations or should be made of aluminum. They may have engineered it as a servo saver but, personally someone into this level of RC will or should know how to set endpoints appropriately. Great video as always!
Great work Chris, always enjoy your videos. Just so you know we add a letter to the end of names in Australia for friendly slang. So thanks chriso mate, rippa rc stuff, onya mate. Cheers, crack a coldie after a build.
It's a cool truck, I've seen it on a couple videos now. Was nice seeing yours, more of a build video. Looking forward to the paint video, I have no suggestions to the colours, maybe some Norway inspired something something?
Great video the phoenix is my next build love how much detail you put into this but I really can't wait to see what you do to the body, I know it's goin to be out of this world 😀
That is one nice piece of kit! It's next on my list of builds. Can't wait to see the finished product with the body mounted, Thanks for all the insight. The video is put together well, and all facts not fluff.
I too am really impressed with this kit. I started building mine right when you posted the first video. Cant wait to see what you do with the paint job.
I really enjoyed the build on my Phoenix, it all just went together so nicely. So if this is in your top 3 builds what are the other 2? Can't wait to see what you do with the paint.
Great video man. Sorry I havnt commented in awhile haha. Bren watching... just on a t.v haha. I am almost done my Phoenix. Did a hobby wing axe system. Wasn't happy. So waiting in my copperhead system with the 2850 slate. So sticking with castle haha. I agree. This truck is just perfect, amd you are right on the screw ups... if something went wrong, it was your own doing haha. I had a few haha. Blind Guy RC right haha. Awesome work man. My rims are boomracing probuilds and putbull rockveast xl tires haha
Thank's for Sharing this kit and you're thoughts about it, I've not built a kit yet but am considering this one to be my First (I usually just mod and upgrade the RTR's) so for the transmission I've watched Greg's review and he mentioned something about going online for the C clips or something? Also the rod ends on his model was very loose how are they on yours? .. Suggest that you do another supreme "Hemi Storm" Paint job that will be as extreme as the Phoenix Kit 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend
@hemistromrc Could you please help out with how to choose the right wheelhubs vanquish offer? I have not found any schart with explanation what the figures stand for? For example, whats the difference between a 600 and 725 hu?. Thx 🙏🏼
Hey Chris, mighty nice looking truck. You already have any ideas for painting? For some reason, something with an overdose of flake comes in mind… anyways; can’t wait for your next video on this build.
Josh (Harley designs) works there pretty sure he had some pull in it’s development ?? He never has disclosed on eBay he does there lol as far as I know

Black and gold like Smokey and the bandit. Gold Phoenix on the hood and some gold pin stripes
Thank you for that rod link hack! I didn’t want to buy a special tool for $20😂
Definitely the best kit of 2021!
Did you really just call me a nerd? THANK YOU Chris! 🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait to see your talent at work on the body. Thanks for the info!

Now after your vids I do really like this kit more. Probably gonna save up for one as well.
Another rig that i cant wait to see you get your paint on
That makes two of us! 😂👍🏼

I bought this kit and love it. Thinking of buying a second one. The build was super smooth!
I have the vs4 pro and still want one of these
You will enjoy the build from start to finish, guaranteed. I can not flaw it anywhere, it is a great kit and the new price tag makes it an incredible value for money offering. Have fun building! 😃

Cheers Mick, same to you!
damn why did I not thought of that drill thing :D will use that soon.

Will look at that once I power it up! Thanks for watching. 👍🏼
Great work Chris, always enjoy your videos.

Helmet in new Top Gun

Great video the phoenix is my next build love how much detail you put into this but I really can't wait to see what you do to the body, I know it's goin to be out of this world 😀
You’re very kind, thank you for the encouragement!
@@hemistormrc no problem buddy honestly your work is second to none very talented bro 👌
Great video, I was on the fence about the Phoenix but after watching your video I went and ordered mine! Should be here next week, I can't wait!
That is one nice piece of kit! It's next on my list of builds. Can't wait to see the finished product with the body mounted, Thanks for all the insight. The video is put together well, and all facts not fluff.
Awesome build again great job hope to see the beyond wicked paint job soon
Vanquish is one of the best in RC
Agreed! This is exceptionally nice work.
@@hemistormrc I have the ultra version of the kit and it’s just wow
2 tone mild greens or blues. Like an old fj45 classic look with your flare on it
I like it!
I too am really impressed with this kit. I started building mine right when you posted the first video. Cant wait to see what you do with the paint job.
Got some ideas cooking, I hope it will turn out as well as I have planned!
Great video! Thinking about getting one of these, glad you think it's well thought out and a good kit. Looking forward to the paint!
It’s on another level, really well executed product!
@@hemistormrc Just ordered mine, can't wait to start the build!
I really enjoyed the build on my Phoenix, it all just went together so nicely. So if this is in your top 3 builds what are the other 2? Can't wait to see what you do with the paint.
great video mate ,purple would be a cool colour for the body
Hemistorm, love the content , color ,Greens???
Awesome video as always. I wanted to ask is there a minimum amount of torque required for those shifting servos? Thanks.
Great video man.
Sorry I havnt commented in awhile haha. Bren watching... just on a t.v haha. I am almost done my Phoenix.

@@hemistormrc hey thank you very much man. That means alot.
Hope all is well man.
😎👍👍
If you are not going to run a winch servo the mamber x fits perfectly next to the steering servo 😁
what are the other 2 kits you prefered building ?
what a nike kit
thank for the video
A lot of people haven’t got the money to castle stuff quit frankly there are just as good for a lot less

.. Suggest that you do another supreme "Hemi Storm" Paint job that will be as extreme as the Phoenix Kit 🔥🔥🔥

The oil weight is 30 according to Harley design video.
I guessed right, yay! 🤣
@hemistromrc Could you please help out with how to choose the right wheelhubs vanquish offer? I have not found any schart with explanation what the figures stand for? For example, whats the difference between a 600 and 725 hu?. Thx 🙏🏼
Hey Chris, mighty nice looking truck. You already have any ideas for painting? For some reason, something with an overdose of flake comes in mind… anyways; can’t wait for your next video on this build.
Would go well with the wheels!
@@hemistormrc That`s what I was thinking… i’m sure it will be something spectacular 😋
🤘🍻🤘
Josh (Harley designs) works there pretty sure he had some pull in it’s development ?? He never has disclosed on eBay he does there lol as far as I know
Great Review of the build! Since it's an American made rig, you should do a red, white and blue theme. It also the birth of America month too!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Paint color…. Orange!!!!
HeyI love your channel you guys inspired me to start my own check it out Beast Rc
Shocks leak horribly lol.
