Vanquish Products
“Wild Turkey”
RECON G6

Northern California is home to one of the biggest RC Scaler Scenes in the country. It is no surprise that most of that scene are part of the RECON G6 Family. After all, OG6’ers such as Chris Goris,John Hallman, Bruce Peace, and Brad Bailey, aka “B-Rad” have all been driving in the 1.9 Adventurist Class. Ultra OG6’ers Mike Pham, VP Team Driver & Axial Team Driver, Thom KoWatch took adventure driving to a new pace. The “Training Wheel” Class, err, 2.2 Adventurist and Ultra has their OG6’ers too. Dan Wilson and “The Wraith” & Big Joe O’Donnell “Doin’ Work” made this class the fastest growing class of 2012.

The G-Train is refueling and headed back to a location that G6’ers still talk about; Sugar Pine Reservoir. Prep your G-Rides & dbl check that backpack, because this is a true scaling adventure. Awesome single track, technical rock sections, and no clear dirt to be found makes this the RECON G6 that Nor-Cal has been waiting for. The G Crew will see you getting your scaler fix, in the VP Wild Turkey RECON G6.

Here's a pic of a Turkey Beard. Keep it scale. I can think of several no to low cost ways to make a scale Turkey beard. Have fun if you choose to do this not mandatory, but highly recommended task.
