Vanquish Products VS4-10 Ultra Rock Crawler Kit w/Origin Half Cab Body (Silver)

An amazing kit, everything went together so smoothly. The fit and finish of this kit is top notch. The Lazer cut body is awesome and again, the fit and finish is second to none. Only negatives about the kit are the tires and shocks are both junk. The tires will get you going, but the medium feeling compound is nowhere sticky enough. The shocks......no matter what you do to them or how you assemble them, they're gonna leak. Also, mind the assembly instructions when you get to the links. I've heard some people find the front upper link and panhard link are easy to confuse with each other.

I recently purchased the Vanquish Ultra and was very pleased with the overall quality of this item. The accuracy of how the parts fit together and the quality of the parts used was exceptional. I just finished building this model and I am very pleased with the results but there were a few exceptions. The first being the tires. These worked out to be OK for the trail but not so much for rock crawling because their footprint was too narrow and the inside foam was too hard, so I changed them to the Proline HYRAX and the difference was dramatic. Another item that was not up to par is the spur gear is very hard to get centered on the lock nut and has too much play to move around. This causes more noise than it should from the gears and it is also out of round by just a hair so I have to get a replacement. Finally, I have found several mistakes in the instructions where several of them took them took a little time and logic to figure out. Now the work is done and its time to enjoy my efforts and when you are done, you will enjoy every moment. Its built like a tank and yet nimble as Hell.

This truck is a lot heavier than my scx 10.2 the castle brushless motor doesnt seem to have any issues with it though. The kit went together well, the parts are well made and very sturdy. it has a nice manual with very nice pictures and detailed instructions. The assembled truck is very sturdy without any body flex.

The Shocks are good quality and made from metal. No leaks so far with 50 weight oil. No stiction either, they are just buttery smooth. Make sure you get a servo horn. I used a Savox servo with 24 splines 20mm long from Vanquish, It fits perfectly. With the included shocks i get about 4 inches of flex. The ground clearance is good, and it has a low center of gravity.

The plastic rims it comes with are beadlocks but they feel cheap to me, i used some aluminum rims instead. With 1.9 Proline Hyrax tires. The spare parts bag has a thin wall hex adapter you will need to screw in the wheel nuts. The standard cross wrench will not work without the adapter.

Just finished this kit today. Only my second trail truck/crawler build and this kit delivers. I was a bit skeptical about the use of plastics in the chassis and also the transmission (to offset the cost of portals they say) but once assembled everything pulled together perfectly! I did watch a well know man youtuber’s vfd build, I’ve never built a transmission, and it came together fast. Super smooth. The shocks have been an issue in reviews, but I must have gotten lucky, no leaks yet. Overall this truck is worth every penny. Yes, new wheels and tires are in the future, but hey, this thing is awesome to drive bone stock, if you can even really call this truck “stock”. Love the portals too, super smooth. It’s Gona be hard not to want to build a pro for the straight axle feel!

Delivery very fast. All in good conditions. Very happy customer.

Purchased this kit for my first ever build. It is amazing everything went together easy had no issues. Yeah it’s expensive but man is it worth every penny!! My favorite truck by far can’t wait for them do come out with another kit so I can buy it. You get what you pay for here everything is just solid! I didn’t use the stock tires or wheels went with vanquish beedlock 105 and pit bull rock East XL tires. For electronics I did the 2300 hobbywing combo and a protek 370 servo black label . This set up is sick!

High quality kit with a lot of super nice parts. Only downfall is the instructions are not the easiest to understand when it comes to the extra parts/optional parts in the kit. Oh, and the tires look and feel like they kind of suck. I used different tires on my build.

Great kit with best quality of materials. The building process is mostly fun and the instructions are good. 4 / 5 Stars because some tools for the assembly are not included: the grease for the portals (even cheap tamiya kits include their grease), no waterproof housing for a reciever, and what staggers me the most, no lug wrench for the wheel nuts...basically you cannot mount the wheels without the vanquish tool that is sold separately. Your standard tool won't fit because it must be very thin to fit into the over engineered wheel mount.

Best surface kit I have built so far, very detailed instructions, great quality and fitment, everything you would expect from Vanquish.
Now onto the cons or con... at that price point it does leave you wanting a little more metal parts! Especially the motor plate, like why not the motor plate! Oh and 1 little typo on the front suspension links, there is 2 front upper links listed, the 1x upper link is the actual upper link, and the 2x upper link is the lower link

Arrived so quickly. Just started putting it together. Beautiful build with such high-quality machined parts. The quality is unbelievable. Cannot wait to run it. Well worth the price!

Sofar so good just starting the build, Hopefully its as good of a rig as they always say.

Well worth the axtra money . Best parts you can get on a crawler in my book . Also got the pro version to . Very happy with both amain was fast on shipping . My number 1 place to buy rc parts
