VRD CARBON KIT
The Vanquish Products VRD Carbon Kit is our extremely first competition level platform brought to life by some of the industry's most experienced designers in the RC rock crawling segment.  Using an all brand-new Lightweight Specification VFD Transmission and updated F10 competition influenced portal axles the VRD Carbon Kit is a highly competitive, foreseeable and flexible platform.  The heart of the VRD Carbon Kit is a matte surface 3mm thick set 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 very first time the front F10 Portal 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 efficiency driving experience.

Chassis

The Vanquish Products VRD Carbon chassis is equipped with all brand-new molded chassis elements that offer a tunable platform to adjust to the most demanding surface.  Multiple shock and body mounting positions combined with minimalistic front/rear interchangeable bumpers make body mounting and fitment straight forward.  Stamped aluminum rock sliders offer a flat location for electronics and/or battery mounting and have the ability to support and protect your body.  

Drivetrain

The center of the VRD Carbon Kit is the brand-new light-weight spec VFD transmission.  Geared up with a light-weight machined aluminum motor plate, aluminum motor plate standoffs, while omitting the cosmetic VFD tunnel for a high efficiency appearance.  Internally the VFD is equipped with machined aluminum bearing plates and machined light-weight chromoly gears.  Each internal equipment has actually been re-designed to be as light-weight as possible dropping the weight of the overall transmission but maintaining a high level of toughness.  The T-Case has actually an integrated in 21% overdrive.  

The Front F10 Portal axle has overdrive portal gears while the Rear F10 portal axle has the basic ratio gears, combined with the VFD overdrive the final overdrive percentage 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 predisposition forward.  

Suspension

The VRD Carbon Kit consists of the Cut S8E shocks with hard anodized shock bodies and numerous length tuning rod ends for a last length series of 85-95mm.  Strong stainless-steel lower suspension links and light-weight upper links connect the chassis to the axles with the brand-new Cut Pro M4 rod ends.  The rear lower links are bent for maximum breakover clearance.  Multiple shock mounting places and tunable shock length enable a high series of trip height and breakover modification.
