Pinoy808 32 Posted July 28, 2020 Is this the same chassis as the Avante? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A-Baum 352 Posted July 28, 2020 Is it fair to say the Vanquish is similar to the Avante like the Manta Ray is similar to the Top Force? Same general chassis design but with many differences throughout the kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saito2 6686 Posted July 28, 2020 1 hour ago, slimleeroy said: Vanquish was actually a lower spec avante. Lower spec, but better performing. The Vanquish received all the plastic suspension arms that would go on the Egress. While it was "dumbed down" with plastic CVA shocks, metal bushings, a 540 silvercan and an MSC, the front shock angle was improved and the steering was less sloppy. It also had the Egress's longer wheelbase, used lightweight wheels (narrower up front like the Egress) and was lighter overall than the Avante. The Vanquish was more durable to boot. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howards 456 Posted July 29, 2020 Avante was a prototype, Vanquish the first model of a branch that ended up being Vanquish, 2001, Egress in order of equipment / finish. But yeah, awesome that they've decided to re re it. Would get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
