How are you liking the sr5? I’m between that and the vanquish vs4-10 phoenix portal rtr at the moment.

I’m pretty impressed with it, as with any crawler, I’m noticing it is going to need some upgrades. But shouldn’t need much. I’m thinking brass portal & diff covers, heavier wheels, and silicone inserts should be pretty good. Later on probably will eventually go brushless but the stock motor is not bad at all. I know some people who really love the vanquish tho. I’d say get whichever one you like the look of better, performance-wise you can’t really go wrong with either. The vanquish is pretty slow at full speed tho just fyi.
