I wanna be Dave
I think they all look pretty good except the black Vanquish one. That just seems boring in comparison to all the others.
The FB groups are going to be hoppin with panel trade offers once the kits start shipping.

Super nice to see this come out! I can imagine the first batch will move quickly.
I don't see anything about machined gears in the Transmission. Maybe I am missing it?
I guess the leak was legit after all.

I'm surprised one of the liveries isn't screen shots of Josh's face. Knowing my luck that will be the one-off I'll get.
The random plastics colors and decals are a ******* fail! The better offer this shit for sale because so many people are going to want to order different color plastics. If this was a marketing decision to generate plastic and decal sales then I get it, but otherwise WTF?
What upgrades does the kit come with? Doesn't seem like many at all.
EDIT: According to Brandon on the Optic FB group:
"Yes it has machined gears and spools. Info is on the product page. It also includes one of the highest spec'd standard VFD currently available. Hard anodized shock bodies too."

At least they didn't throw pink into the mix. Some sort of fleshy livery
Harley's video mentions some exclusives. Wonder what they are and how much those are going to bring on the Vanquish pages.
Maybe they'll do a code or something for the livestream tonight.

Didn't they off free machined gears in the first run on the Phoenix?
At least it is just panels and not some wacky cage colors. You can cover the panels with different decals or paint them.

The transfer case gears? I think they put them in the first straight axle Phoenix kits. My portal Phoenix did not come with them but I dont remember exactly when I bought it. Sometime in mid/late 2022.
Oh yeah BTW, I ordered one.
Well seeing the other liveries, I don't have much hope. I just hope I don't get certain styles. I really only like half of the 6 announced liveries. The rest are shit.
I'd rather the light color cage since it is dyable.
I also forget in which variant they offered it, but i know i got some machined transmission gears somewhere along the line.
The upgrade in the axles for this kit is preferable. I think I may have to step up the voltage for this build
H10 Portals would have been a fun addition to the world
You get the exclusive squatty potty version
Well I took this comment way too literally I guess. I was trying to wait patiently for the kit but pulled the trigger on an RTR last week, it just showed up yesterday
Oh well at least I got the gray cage color I wanted (kit is black only) and I got the black panels I wanted.
I dont really want a lime green body, paint it and you get lime green scratches. I feel like buying an extra set of body panels might be super common with this kit lol or as others mentioned panel swaps.
I want portals and a 74 Weld / Fox livery.! Maybe one day.
I'm going to complain about your complaint. I'm glad this is a straight axle kit! I was bummed when the VRD Carbon came with portals.
My luck agrees with you.
Fox livery would be awesome!
Josh would be a good politician. Says one thing and does the opposite.Well I took this comment way too literally I guess. I was trying to wait patiently for the kit but pulled the trigger on an RTR last week, it just showed up yesterday

Do not encourage a situation where he spends even more time in front of a camera; too many of these RC You Tube guys on camera have faces made for radio.
Whenever an option, always portals!
