Mine came today as well. About a week faster than I was expecting. I won't have time to mess with them until next week

Optic Kit Coming
- Thread starter smog
- Start date
So after a bit more research, the hobbywing 540l looks like it will fit. It is 57.8mm long, max is 58mm. They're 15% off on tower right now. Guess ill go ahead and buy it.
I see my VP stuff is in Detroit today and is set to be delivered tomorrow! Bonerous. Now I can start on the build, though I will likely keep looking for a different set of rims. The 2.2s I got are not what I was expecting (color wise). They're steel rims so I may just spray em with paint for now.

Got my Ali Express 3rd members installed today. The bearing holders have a nice fit but the tolerances on the pinion bearings aren’t as good. The diff bearings needed a slight press while the pinion bearings just kind of fall in with no resistance. The Ali 3rd members require shorter hardware for the bearing retainers but it is included. The assembled 3rd members are a pretty tight fit into the housings and it takes installing the screws to get them fully seated. The gears spin smooth once everything is assembled. Overall, the 3rd members are worth the $22 I paid for them.
I finally got my "RTR" painted, Tamiya field gray (which is a green) with some weathering. I'll post up a build thread for this and my kit eventually.
Geez, that's some nice stuff.
I'm glad a model is back on the market that people are down to build up (very) nicely.
It seems that for a while the scale crawler world sort of stagnated. The Axial CJ-7 was the last nice release I remember, but even that wasn't very popular.

Killer color combo - that GREEN!
And lovin' the wheels - are they KNKs?
My Yoko RTR is due tomorrow, also going to do something different than use the stock decals...
Im a damn fool for building things better than I should. lol I still use them, but not often enough to justify it. smdh.
However for my first Vanquish rig and build, I'd figured I'd keep it more higher quality build.
Not like most my other stuff isn't the same lol
You will need to grind/trim a little bit off the link mounting tabs on the skid but that is very easy to do.
Thanks!Killer color combo - that GREEN!

Yeah they're Team KNK wheels, looks like they've discontinued them.

The part I like the most is the green on bag one that you see on the edge of the photos... jajajajajajajjajaa
Ooo whatchu gonna do with them?And the 124mm Ti Links showed up from Tower today.
Time to get to it.
From my understanding the rear upper links need to be a bit longer for 4WS for some clearance. Or longer rod ends which I do have. But I figured my first VP build, I should do it up right.
Gotcha, I just used Traxxas rod ends. Worked nicely and already had em. Lol
I've never had luck with the long rod ends. I've snapped a few off. A pair of titanium links is only about $11.
FWIW on the carbon panel subject, I got a set in one of my kits and ended up selling them for $250. Someone on FB claims they got $400 for a set, and I had two people tell me they would pay up to $350. I one of the first sets I saw listed was for $500 and it wasn’t available very long.
Unfortunately for me I dig the optics so much that I’m planning atleast two builds here shortly. One for me, one for my older boy for sure and possibly one for my youngest.
I haven’t been interested in any new projects since the fordyce was released
