Time for this truck to find a new home. Fantastic little crawler reworked for handling steep inclines and technical trails. No mud bogging...! I'm talking to you @majin

Usual Pay Pal details. Truck is used and sold "as is" with no other extra parts.

$300 + shipping and insurance.

Build Specs:

We started with the Axial Basecamp RTR and executed the following changes:

RTR Electronics to the rubbish bin.
Removed extra weight.
Removed rear bumper.
Trimmed chassis.
Aluminum chassis braces.
Trimmed rear bottom section of body.
Added on a set of Axial 1/10 Honcho sliders.
Castle 1900 Slate sensored motor with Copperhead 10 stripped ESC.
Reefs 422 HD V2 servo.
Aluminum front bumper & servo mount.
Swapped out to a Kimbrough 88 tooth spur gear.
Overdrive front axle portal gears.
Brass portal gear covers.
Brass diff cover.
Droop front shocks with droop / sprung rear shocks for more realistic driving characteristics.
Aluminum beadlocks / Crawler Innovations 2-stage foams, JConcepts Tusk tires.
2800 gram running weight with a 59/41 balance and 50/50 side to side.

*Not included is the Spektrum transmitter receiver. If you want it, it's an additional $30. Lipo battery shown is also not included.

*The ESC is modified; the power switch has been removed and wires soldered.


As a sleeper build, this truck performs surprisingly well on technical terrain. We tell people it's just a trimmed Basecamp until they ask to look under the hood.! That said, it's still running the factory chassis rails, factory transmission, factory links, factory shock towers, factory shocks and front ( trimmed ) bumper.

Are you going to be selling off any of the Vanquish rigs?

@MVRCA likes Vanquish rigs, like I like Element rigs, might be hard for him to part with one.
 
Howdy all, just got back from Sand Hollow, so sorry for the delay.

Doom has me figured out; we rarely sell the Vanquish builds. At this time none of the Vanquish models in the fleet are earmarked to move on, and I'm not sure if I can think of anything coming up for that product line. If something changes, this will be where they are listed.

Everyone knows Vanquish is right below WL Toys. I'd be doing him a favor. See it even says it on their Bangood page. :p

That said, I have a some new Vanquish RC parts that I will be posting for sale; VRD aluminum rails, straight front and rear axles new and complete, as well as some other new stuff. If you are interested, I will PM you first since you asked, giving you first bite at the apple. Lemme know.

Have you considered a subscription based RC of the month club for @majin 🤣
 
You guys are a tough crowd! Ok, made a small change and reduced the price. Same as above, but I installed a set of Boom Racing Pro Builder wheels, deep-dish chrome and black with adjustable offset to the wheel. We've set the offset to the deepest to push the tires out, but you can change this if you want to tuck the tires into the body deeper.

We then mounted a set of scrubbed-in JConcepts Landmines with a set of trimmed Element RC single-stage open cell foams inside.

New Price: $275.00 + shipping. USA only, no international shipping. Paypal as usual.
