Vanquish Products Vanquish Products VS4-10 Phoenix Straight Axle Rock Crawler Kit

The Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Straight Axle Rock Crawler Kit is developed and developed with the Vanquish Products VFD Twin transmission (patent pending) and molded F10 axles. This mix offers efficiency benefits never prior to offered in a scale set of its kind. The VFD Twin includes Selectable Overdrive Shifting and a 3-position dig system into one compact plan. The molded F10 Straight Axles utilize a high clearance style which reduces the size of the pumpkin and maximizes strength around the C-hub and knuckle. Linking the VFD Twin to the F10 Straight Axles are the ISD10 driveshafts. The ISD10 Driveshafts have machined CV-style joints at each end with molded splined shafts between them for smooth and effective efficiency. 

The VFD Twin Transmission (Patent Pending) set is an evolution of the original VFD. Taking the exact same balance of efficiency, scale look, strength, and adding industry first features. The VFD Twin comes geared up with selectable overdrive and rear dig. The twin shifting transfer case utilizes exchangeable bearing plates, a brass pivot for the shift arms, and chromoly shift slides. Loaning from the tested Hurtz dig, the VFD twin shifting is smooth and reputable. On the fly overdrive shifting from 6.5% to 33% makes an immediate change to the driving characteristics and tuning alternatives. Plus, if you don't wish to invest in extra servos for the dig or overdrive, both systems include a mechanical lockout system so you aren't needed to run these features unless you wish to!  

The F10 Plastic Molded Straight axles benefit from Vanquish Product's years of style experience in making the industry's finest aluminum axles. The molded F10 Straight axles include an ultra-rigid style with an integrated truss that ties both ends of the axle together and large C's with an integrated panhard mount.

Vanquish Products VS4-10 Chassis is made to provide you with a balance of scale looks and unrestricted efficiency. The steel C-channel style offers scale detail, molded front and rear cross members fill the chassis rails in the highest tension locations for supreme strength and provide features like dual servo installs, winch line routing, and a fuel cell. The molded rock sliders come with an exchangeable tapered outer part that completely fits the Phoenix body. The VS4-10 chassis is developed to work with the VFD Twin transmission to keep the overdrive and dig servo short on the platform. The panhard mount on the chassis is made from machined aluminum to endure the effects of serious trail conditions. Formed shock towers record the top of the 90mm Cut S8E Shocks in double shear for optimal support. Narrow molded front and rear bumpers take full advantage of clearances while enhancing approach and departure angles.

The VS4-10 includes Cut 90mm S8E shocks with larger 8mm bore aluminum threaded bodies, dual X-ring seals, locking preload collars, keyed spring cups, polished steel shock shafts, and machined pistons. The front 3-link with panhard suspension offers scale looks by keeping the servo out of sight, while still offering room for complete suspension travel. The suspension pivots on a complete set of stainless-steel links to keep the weight down low with a smooth shift from the link to the rod ends.
