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

The Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Straight Axle Rock Spider Kit is created and developed with the Vanquish Products VFD Twin transmission (patent pending) and molded F10 axles. This combination supplies performance advantages never before offered in a scale set of its kind. The VFD Twin integrates Selectable Overdrive Shifting and a 3-position dig system into one compact bundle. The molded F10 Straight Axles make use of a high clearance style which lessens the size of the pumpkin and maximizes strength around the C-hub and knuckle. Connecting 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 in between them for smooth and effective performance. 

The VFD Twin Transmission (Patent Pending) set is an evolution of the original VFD. Taking the very same balance of performance, scale appearance, strength, and adding industry very first features. The VFD Twin comes geared up with selectable overdrive and rear dig. The twin shifting transfer case uses exchangeable bearing plates, a brass pivot for the shift arms, and chromoly shift slides. Borrowing from the proven Hurtz dig, the VFD twin shifting is smooth and trustworthy. On the fly overdrive shifting from 6.5% to 33% makes an immediate modification to the driving characteristics and tuning options. Plus, if you do not want to invest in additional servos for the dig or overdrive, both systems feature a mechanical lockout system so you aren't needed to run these features unless you want to!  

The F10 Plastic Molded Straight axles take advantage of Vanquish Item's years of style experience in making the industry's best aluminum axles. The molded F10 Straight axles feature an ultra-rigid style with an integrated truss that connects both ends of the axle together and oversized C's with an integrated panhard mount.

Vanquish Products VS4-10 Chassis is made to offer you with a balance of scale looks and unhindered performance. The steel C-channel style supplies scale detail, molded front and rear cross members fill the chassis rails in the highest stress places for supreme strength and offer features like double servo installs, winch line routing, and a fuel cell. The molded rock sliders feature a changeable tapered outer portion that perfectly fits the Phoenix body. The VS4-10 chassis is developed to work with the VFD Twin transmission to keep the overdrive and dig servo low on the platform. The panhard install on the chassis is made from machined aluminum to hold up against the effects of severe trail conditions. Formed shock towers catch the top of the 90mm Cut S8E Shocks in double shear for maximum assistance. Narrow molded front and rear bumpers make the most of clearances while improving approach and departure angles.

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