It’s like a early teaser of the VS4-10 Phoenix Portal!

Awesome improvement. Most definitely getting that half cage. Thanks for sharing.

Looks really good with the cage, thanks for sharing

Loved the look of that card in the back. When I saw it had a 2 piece body, that was my idea. Looks great

REALLY good idea Josh!! The Bumpers are a bit ridiculous... but that "Truggy" Cage really brings or all together for a nice, functional look!! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Looks alot better, completely changes the look of that truck. Nice job!

Wow that thing is awesome 😎

I like to use sticky puddy and stick small tacks to the body posts and I line it up then press down and look for the marks the tacks make and I drill body holes

Wow that is sweet Josh !! I like how that looks. Appreciate you sharing.

the cage looks sweet on this, mirrors, new grill, door handles, will liven this truck up.

Its looking sweet that cage is awesome

What a complete difference nice job....

Nice, I can't wait until I get mine in hand!

Great video. I can’t wait to get my hands on an Enduro but I’ll probably wait to get the kit version when it comes out.

I might be the only person who loves the look of the stock bumpers

Can we buy the upgraded parts? Or do we just wait for Element to send them in the mail?

Man that thing is looking sweet!

Making me want to buy one for sure Josh. Thanks for the very good post, man.

Really liking this truck. Might have to get one

Awesome job Josh👍

Sweet work Josh. I love the look of the truck now ... well, except for that stock front bumper, yeesh!

Really thinking of picking one of these up.

I hope they release a kit version that includes the upgraded plastics. This chassis looks pretty interesting.

This trucks looking pretty good.

Nice Josh! That vid was super fun to watch. Cant wait for the next one. I honestly laughed out loud the way you threw the back bumper off camera. Your a funny dude.

Might be my first rc crawler. Looks like a sweet RTR.

Iv been crawling for a few months I wish I would have been able to get this truck for my first one. Don’t care for the gen 8 steering and I don’t care for how quick rc4wd trailfinder axels wear out. This truck is a god send

One of your best.

Looks nice.

Yeah I’ll a little behind 🤷🏼‍♂️ Nice job as always Harley!

That looks cool

Thank you!

RTR = Ready to Rebuild...with even more expensive "Tuning Parts". Nice business model :)

@@PhiddyPford I think it doesnt matter what brand it is. Its the same old story with every RC car. 1. video = review = it is a great car "out of the box". 2. video = first run = and it performs great. 3. (and more) video(s) = upgrades, upgrades, upgrades... All "Scale News Update"-videos are about (expensive) upgrades...and not only here @ Harley Desings, there are 3-5 (or maybe more) other channels with nearly the same pattern...its getting "boring". And yes, he get many upgrades supplied...and I think you know why :) The only interesting/new feature of this RC car is the overdrive...and this is a really cool feature...I like it! But I want to see more custom (DIY) designs/upgrades, not only (expensive) upgrades.

@@xantrios Not sure where to begin, 1. lets just start by saying we all have jobs to make money. As I'm sure you do. Josh has a job too, to help inform RC'ers about products. Sure if I had someone reviewing my products, I would send him free upgrades to help sell more. Its a really simple business concept. 2. Upgrading your rig is part of the hobby, some people can't figure out "DIY" projects themselves so having Harley Designs or Scale Builders Guild around helps people to come up with cool ways to set up or make their own rigs look. I didn't think of attaching the rear fenders to the cage on mine until today when I finished watching this vid. Thanks Josh! 3. All BS aside, nobody can tell you how to RC, if you want to make your own tube roll cage, there are a bunch or KZread videos on it, don't just rely on KZread though. Yes upgrades can get expensive, but so are RTR trucks... Be creative! That's what this hobby is all about! Just my opinion, take it for what its worth.

Roman Xantrios this is why I wasn't keen on the trx4. Everyone says it's good then recommends expensive mods

Its actually an underdrive for the rear vs overdriving the front. Just ordered the kit and cant wait. Found a use for that small battery tray after seeing you put the weaker plastic battery tray mount. Can use that for a small 3s for the lights awesome.

I think I am going to add this to my collection

Looks good. I am still impressed with this truck it is the 1st time in several years I've considered buying another crawler

Nice video!! But complete if upgrade parts link will be in the video description, thanks👍🏻

I had a chance to drive one of these recently. Associated really did their homework on this truck. The motor esc combo really does create a smooth run. The steering servo seems to have plenty of power and didn't break in the first ten feet. I'm sure I will have one .

looks alot better with the cage

It looks so much better with the back half and pinched bed. Nicely done Josh 🤙🏼 I did notice that you managed to lose the indestructible mirrors😉

Awesome

super sweet bed mod. just need some cool custom bumpers to finish it off

I think I need one!

By the way, the truck turned out really cool good Job.

Looks awesome with the cage! You could just 3d print a little tool box/hard case for the spare tyre basket and trim off the mounting holes on the cage- 1:1s tend to have a box or two around the cage/bed area.

I'm not a spare tire guy either. I removed the cradle, and cut out the mount for the tire itself. One of my local crawler guys cut out just the center mount portion and used CA to glue a styrene rod in, sanded and painted.

Put some conformal coating on circuit board of receiver ,no receiver box needed👍

great video josh

Thank you for you knowledge & RC wisdom and techniques U make a good difference for those of us that R not too sure on which direction to go with some of these vehicles. I learn a lot from your post. I would love to pick Ur brain a little bit. Bcz Every video has helped me in one way or another.the other guys help too but I seem to understand your style or technique a lot better.

Hey! You can cut away that spare tire mount tab and place a piece of styrene tubing and use some star bond adhesive to lock it down, finally paint it black ! To give it a more clean look 👍🏻

Looks good for a pick-up truck

the cage is a great improvement. I would like to see more inner body bracing for it though.. To prolong the life of that thin lexan. I'm not much for adding on scale details either, but that spare tire mount, might be a good place for a scale radiator. to go along with the pre-runner look.

They want you to use the force for putting that cage together lol

All these harder plastic Pieces Should be sent to everyone for free.They should have been in the kit to begin with.

You could put a Hi-Jack in the back! You also should ad an interior!

I had the same Pro-Line ball end laying around to get to those screws.

Harley Designs I bought that Pro-Line set back in 2012. Love it. The 2.0B is ruined, and my 2.5 handle is shot, but I still love the finish on the tools and I refuse to toss them.

Nice job josh, looks good that way. Lookin to build my father in law a truck. Goina go with the 2 piece chevy body n try cuttin out for the cage to go inside the bed.

Would you do a comparison video of the vs410 powerwagon/element enduro after your done building both?

Looks good Josh. Next mod , i'd make velcro body mounts. And take some scale aluminum diamond plate and Shoe-Goo it to the lower door panels. The cracked lexan looks like the cheap stuff that RC4WD use to make their lexan(not hardbody) Mojave bodies....it would crack sitting on the shelf. Would you trust those plastic gears on Brushless power?

This would have been nice for a budget build with Matt.

Dang man that dies look good

use magnets for the light connection. when you drop the body on the lights will turn on. connect bare wire to each magnet

Looks real good i think.. Fun to see what front bumper you go for!.. Fast work to:) where can i find that servo controller?

I really loved that servo controller you used to set up the steering. What is the make and model would love to check it out. Thanks!

Great video! Just a quick question, will that proline cage work on a TRX4 Sport? Thx

Nice build, any thoughts on going even more on the T gears 25 - 55 etc to get even more front over drive? if so what would you recommend? Thanks

You should use a round tube for the front bumper to keep with the pre-runner look. Those mods changed the entire look of the truck!

@@vincelemasurier7464 sorry to dissagree... they even could have called the CR10 since they already have a 1/12th crawler the CR12... The first time I heard about it I though meh... it's fine. But now the upgrades are coming.. it's an Associated. Well... should have been, in my opinion.

Nice truck love it I run a trx4 defender

Where do you get the servo centering box/programer? I think that would be very handy to have.

Good morning that was fun:) quick question about the Ripper will those front headlights handle and radiator fan handle a 4s??

If you placed the BTA link on top of the aluminum high steer arm would that allow you to run more caster without interference?

Nice vid. Where do you find those futaba air receivers?

Ya gotta wonder how much more the better plastic costs to use over whatever they used for the released version

Josh, go to the stash, grab an orginal VS4 front bumper.....Looks great, problem solved!

Print up a tailgate that attaches those floppy back fenders together, that mounts to the back of the cage. Maybe an integrated handle and an italicized Sendéro emblem somewhere on there too. Or even better, an Associendéro emblem 😂

Wow really like what you did with it. I will be getting one of these trucks in the future and I am not a big fan of the body, but with that cage it really changes it up nice. I will have to do something very similar on my channel. Thanks for the great ideas.

Cool video man I like the cage looks great I would have left tailgate though. I love the point where you said small victories. Kick ass.! Have you thought of putting the winch out front to run off the servo Mount that they have there and see how well they designed it. Looks like it's going to be great truck I bet it's going to be huge. Some people have commented about aftermarket stuff but. Being that Team Associated. Is the mother company. I don't see how anybody can think that they won't be everything you can think of for this truck very shortly. Anyways you do really high class videos great job.

It would look cool to run some rotopax on the spare tire mount.

You are just incredible

use the vp origin pro front bumper. I used them on my element

hi .this car is better then trx4 sport?very nice upgrade!!thanks

What did you think Harley about the 48p gear if you put brushless motor ? traxxas, Red Cat Gen8 and axial have already 32p gear much better for brushless :)

Hey Josh, will the r2106gf receiver work with the futaba 7px? Thx in advance. Keep making awesome videos 👍

Your rear right tire is coming off the rim and get the rc4wd patriot jack for it

How does this truck drive the way you have it set up now after the upgrades compared to the TRX4 sport kit you upgraded with Matt?

when you first got your rig did it already come with front headlights installed ?

Oh, and check your beads... 😎 looks like one isn’t fully seated.

Any new updates on mods or upgrades? Is vanquish planning on making any parts?

#beastmode knocked out a ton of stuff... impressive!

Does that electric driver have adjustable power? If so what is the model number?

How does this compare to a Trx4? I trying to choose between the 2? Can u help me out with choice?

Very impressed with the outcome.... Great video. I'm not a fan of the rear cage only look but reusing the bed looks terrific. If you purchase the Enduro builders kit does it come with the hard plastic pieces or are they still an option? (Thanks for wearing Dickies!)

How’d this compare to the Axial 10.2?

Did you go to proline by the fire in Southern California?

Do u have a link for these parts would love to get them ordered.waiting on delivery of truck today

Not crazy about the tailgate chop everything else looks great..

Still not a cross rc mammoth build.....Thumbs up for mention plow of the front cough cough I mean rear bumper lol
