Trucks of Freedom 2024

[Col_Sanders]

Vanquish is running Trucks of Freedom again for 2024. Started last night and will be released in batches over the next couple weeks. Two per person for now to deter flippers from buying them all up. They are only doing the $650 bundle this time. They showed several special edition parts and two new kits (VRD Carbon straight axle kit and VS-410 Builders kit) on the livestream last night. Josh said there are equal numbers of every kit/RTR available.

Some of the extras/limited edition parts:
Wheels of Fortune
Purple, gold, or blue anodized rod ends
Red, silver, and blue servo horns
Red, silver, or blue carbon fiber chassis for the VRD
Purple 1.9 Riots
Light blue 1.9 Riots (only 5 sets)
Dark Earth Methods
Blue diff cover HD44s

I've been saving up for a Ripper 2.0 so I'm not really sure if I'm going to buy one or not.

I'd have a hard time dropping $650 on an RC when I'm not even sure what I'm getting in the box. Hell, I'm not happy dropping $650 on an RC when I DO know what I'm getting. To each their own I guess.

 

[tedo]

Didn't they mention 2 new releases included in the TOF? That they will promote them once people start receiving?

Love my H-10 to death. Vanquish has it going on.

There are a couple things I kinda want so I may gamble with it. If it doesnt work out, I can sell them to recoup the funds. I bought two last year on separate transactions and ended up with 2 straight axle Phoenix kits, which was the thing I wanted the least. Luckily I was able to part them out and make a few trades get what I wanted.

Someone on FB caught a screenshot with two boxes hidden...a straight axle VRD Carbon and a VS-410 Builders kit. Both are good additions to the lineup IMO.

As a former Vanquish hater and current Vanquish fan, I can't see doing this either. They had purple and toenail color wheels in a lot of these packages in the past. Some terrible colored axles as well. I'll pass.

Does anyone know the leak the dates/times when they might be coming out? I don't need a surprise rig but why not.

 

[Col_Sanders]

That was dark earth that went out on the axle housings and a lot of wheels. I didn't really care for it either but it did look good on the Impacts. They said there will be more wheels of that color in this round of TOF. The toenail wheels from the livestream were a different color. There was only one set of those and it went on a Fordyce that they sold right after a livestream.

Oh yeah FDE! A combination of moss and baby

It sounds like maybe more coming out friday

 

[bgredjeep]

I picked one up last year. Got my least preferred option (Phoenix rtr, trans gears, driveshafts, f10ts). Built it, eventually zoku'd it, sold the f10t housings, and now have a pretty sweet compish crawler.

I'm not going to go this round. I've got too many cars as it is. I could use another vfd twin for my build along buggy, but not going to try the $650 route to get it.

 

[cul8tr]

For $650 I would like to know what I'm getting or the option to pick it.

 

[SteveB1]

Same boat as you guys. For $650, I wanna be picking from the menu.

 

[twade984]

I bought two, but mostly just to part out.

If I end up with something I want, who knows I may keep it. I really enjoy the excitement, and imo the value is definitely there.

Tbh the wheels are the biggest excitement for me, so many possible combinations and it hurts paying full price for wheels, rings, ifr’s, hubs, hardware, etc.

 

[cul8tr]

For those that have ordered.
Wouldn't it be really cool if someone actually got a Ripper 2.0 as there Trucks of Freedom.
Man what a surprise that would be.

At this point I’d settle for just shipping notification besides “label created”…

I won't squabble over the price now that I've built and driven a good dozen or so Vanquish rigs.

Their "Label Created" and sitting in limbo for up to a week... Yeah, that I'm @twade984 on. It's frustrating as all hell.

 

[Col_Sanders]

I had one in my cart Friday but I hesitated and they sold out. Still not sure if I'm going to do it. Took me a while to offload my parts last time.

I want to see the purple Riots. Too bad they wont just do Wheels of Fortune again.

 

[bmxbryant09]

Any idea on when the next drop will be? That is frustrating about not getting shipped out quickly

 

[Col_Sanders]

They did a couple drops last night. First drop was on the livestream and sold out in 4 minutes. Looks like they've been sending out some boxes with 2 kits in them. The purple Riots and light blue Riots look awesome.

Meaning the VRD straight axle and VS4-10 builder's kits?
