Optic Kit Coming

H-Tech cage is up and it's $539.00, but it does look sweet! You can request the cost for custom colors which is awesome.

H-TECH CNC Aluminum Special Custom Cage For Vanquish H10 Optic

No way all of those parts are machined. In some photos it looks like the parts are cast and then get post machined.

Gorgeous. Would be curious to know what it all weighs.

It says 500g on the product page or 1.1 pounds.

The MEUS is 100% machined from a block of aluminum. I have #001, and #054 to match my Vanquish Ripper#. They have exact same tooling marks and finish. MEUS killed it. The H-tech looks good but not a fan of the square rear, no dash, A-pillar area and side mount/slider area. You will not be disappointed in either but the MEUS is an amazing piece. I have their 24 and 18 scale "rippers" and even those are premium machining. I am very impressed.

Oh, and excited for an optic kit!!!

Hmm are you positive it's billet aluminum for only $400?

Why are they numbered? Are they only producing a limited number?

Josh addressed the RCDriver 'leak' a couple of weeks back. No kit coming any time soon, apparently.

At least there is a manual now https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0843/5741/5209/files/H10_Optic_RTR_Manual.pdf?v=1730751735

That sucks. I'll hold off for a few more weeks but might just end up buying a takeoff cage and using my Phoenix driveline. I like portals more now anyway.

This is also what's holding me back; it needs portals.

I have a Phoenix kit. Would I be able to combine that with an optic cage to make my own kit?

I believe so. It may take some creativity if you want to run servos for your dig and OD however. The Optic runs the spec vfd transmission.

 

[letrbuk]

Ok. I knew the optic was the standard Vfd. Just wasn’t sure about link length. I’ll have to do more investigating to see how much stuff I’d have to get vs. buying the RTR.
