New Vanquish VRD Carbon
- Thread starter Sniper4370
- Start date
First hearing about this. It's like what the SCX10 Pro is to the SCX line, just Vanquish' line. Pretty cool.
pretty cool man
Looks like I will be taking a pass on the Redcat :ror:
Yeah, I caved and ordered one. Looks really good! It's been in testing for a couple years according to VP, so it should be great out of the box.
Looking forward to this new build. I did watch both the Vanquish and Harley vids of this new rig and I'm liking what I see. I like that this comes with the well equipped VFD transmission like what came with the PRO, but this has the lighter motor plate and light weight machined gears. The S8E shocks comes with the hard anodized bodies too.
I did hear Jim say that this is a work in progress and changes may be made in the future to make it even better. And they hinted that other changes may be made in the coming batches to be released.

I REALLY like this kit. I just wish they had released two versions - one with portal axles, and another with straight axles.

I like the lightweight VFD transmission and the chassis layout. Clean and simple with good electronic mounting locations. I currently have 2 F10 portal comp builds in the works so I am not really in the market. If they'd come out with that a couple months ago, I'd have been all over it.
Maybe I can sell the SCX10 II that I built for my son and get him one of these instead. That way we have fewer platforms to deal with. :ror:
The chassis is the only major new thing on it that would be obvious at a tech inspection. With so many chassis available, it could still be pretty inconspicuous. How many comps did Wyatt do with the SCX10 Pro without anyone really knowing what it was?

Yeah, right. :roll:
Nice kit though....actually "performance" certainly a good choice

Great release from vp. Lots of value packed into this kit.
I think I’ll definitely need to get one built up for next summer

I like it quite a bit. The servo on axle is an interesting option, and seeing that, I wondered what this would look like as a 2.2" setup. Would it be too narrow?
That said, I think VP is really pulling away from their competition in the market. Superb quality and fairly reasonable pricing. I still have my eye on the Fordyce at the moment.

I will definitely be picking one up when they arrive at my local shop. It really is a beautiful setup. The attention to detail is apparent.
You guys aren't helping......
You know, VP’s online cart holds more than one item.[emoji848] Fordyce and VRD would make a nice pair![emoji28]

Ok, so here is my question / thought:
1. Could we start with the VRD, and then fit the body, bumpers, and sliders to make a Fordyce VRD?
2. Changing the spur is pretty straight forward.
3. Maybe custom body mounts needed.

On the VP live stream yesterday that question was asked. Josh roughly placed a fordyce body on top and it looks pretty good. Definitely will take some custom mounting, but shouldn’t be too difficult.
