Optic Kit Coming

[garyk]

I kinda fell out of the crawler scene for a while but this kit will pull me back in. Order in...if I don't get body panels I like I'll deal with it.

I'm dying....... You done said the quiet part out loud......

When you're ugly like me, you can judge right?!

The random liveries is a huge fail for me. Trucks of Fortune is a fun promo for people that want a surprise. It's not the only way any of those products can be purchased. People have always had the option to order whatever they wanted. This is a $390 surprise box. One of the first rules of business is give the customer what they want. In this case I think Vanquish is trying to be too cute.

Agreed. I would say it is not a popular decision. I have a feeling I will get a certain fugly color that is the color of my second-least-favorite motorcycle brand. There are really only 3 of the 6 colors that look good to me. The 7th mystery carbon fiber panels are amazing! There's nothing cooler than carbon fiber! I don't think I could put them on and scratch them on the rocks though.

I just ordered the grey cage pieces

I'm considering that, but it's an additional $56.97! Bummer the Meus cage was limited and is now sold out! It's hard to know if I want a different color cage until I receive my body panels and livery. I can't even order wheels or shocks until I have the panels.

Well, I’ve been waiting for this kit since the RTR was released. Glad I waited. My Pre-order is in. Curious to see which one I’ll get!

Cool! You ordered direct as well. AMain allows a $30 off coupon. It's the only place I've found that has the preorder and allows coupons. I'm tempted to order a second there and see which ships first...

Tiny detail but I just noticed that all of the various colored kit bodies come with black grills. I guess the only way to get the panels in one color is the black and blue RTR options (or buy them separately) or paint it yourself options.

I plan to paint mine and black panels seem like the only good option unless you want skittles colored scratches.

I noticed that too. It's a fail, especially with the optional HWO (Jeep) grille. Even the light cage version comes with a black grille. Makes no sense. It drives me crazy that Vanquish has them listed as "Grills". We are not cooking with these toys...

Painting black over color panels will get you skittles color scratches though...

All this griping about panel colors. Panels are $30. How many of us have bought kits and got some lexan body we didn't want or the builders kits with no body at all? It costs more than $30 to buy a lexan body for crying out loud.

You're completely missing the point and I can't believe you're siding with the company selling a $390 kit. It obviously was not a popular decision to add this gamble to the kit. With RTRs you can at least choose your color and with kits you can paint the body the color you like even if you aren't in love with the body. I'd rather them not include the "body", reduce the kit $30 and allow me to purchase the color I want. Their idea of trading is ******* stupid since shipping prices are crazy high these days.

Awesome! Glad to have you back!

Looks like a
