VRD CARBON KIT
The Vanquish Products VRD Carbon Package is our very first competitors level platform brought to life by some of the market's most experienced designers in the RC rock crawling segment.  Making use of an all new Lightweight Spec VFD Transmission and upgraded F10 competitors motivated portal axles the VRD Carbon Package is a highly competitive, foreseeable and flexible platform.  The heart of the VRD Carbon Package is a matte finish 3mm thick pair of carbon fiber frame rails mated to the 6 degree flat skid plate.  The molded chassis elements and skid plate location the light-weight spec VFD transmission as low as possible into the VRD chassis.  For the first time the front F10 Website axle is equipped with a servo on axle and 4-link.  Front and rear axles include weighted brass tube inserts in addition to the front alloy knuckle weights to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, translating to a high performance driving experience.

Drivetrain

The center of the VRD Carbon Package is the new light-weight spec VFD transmission.  Equipped with a lightweight machined aluminum motor plate, aluminum motor plate standoffs, while leaving out the cosmetic VFD tunnel for a high performance appearance.  Internally the VFD is equipped with machined aluminum bearing plates and machined light-weight chromoly gears.  Each internal gear has been re-designed to be as light-weight as possible dropping the weight of the overall transmission but preserving a high level of toughness.  The T-Case has an integrated in 21% overdrive.  

The Front F10 Website axle has overdrive portal gears while the Rear F10 portal axle has the basic ratio gears, combined with the VFD overdrive the last overdrive portion is 37%.  Both axles include brass weighted tubes inside in addition to the alloy portal knuckle covers on the front axle.  This is the heaviest spec F10 axle yet keeping the center of gravity as low as possible and the weight bias forward.  

Suspension

The VRD Carbon Package consists of the Incision S8E shocks with hard anodized shock bodies and numerous length tuning rod ends for a last length series of 85-95mm.  Heavy duty stainless-steel lower suspension links and light-weight upper links connect the chassis to the axles with the new Incision Pro M4 rod ends.  The rear lower links are bent for optimum breakover clearance.  Multiple shock installing places and tunable shock length enable a high series of ride height and breakover change.
