Vanquish Products VS4-10 Phoenix Portal Rock Crawler Kit

The Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Portal Rock Crawler Set is the first platform to feature the Vanquish Products VFD Twin transmission (patent pending) and F10 Portal Axles. This combination provides performance benefits never ever before provided in a scale kit of its kind. The VFD Twin includes Selectable Overdrive Shifting and a 3-position dig unit into one compact bundle. The molded F10 Portal Axles make use of a high clearance style which lessens the size of the pumpkin and maximizes clearance around the C-hub and knuckle. Connecting the VFD Twin to the F10 Portal 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 efficient performance.

The VFD Twin Transmission (Patent Pending) kit is a development of the original VFD. Taking the exact same balance of performance, scale appearance, strength, and including industry first functions. The VFD Twin comes geared up with selectable overdrive and rear dig. Twin moving transfer case utilizes changeable bearing plates, a brass pivot for the shift arms, and chromoly shift slides. Borrowing from the tested Hurtz dig, the VFD twin moving is smooth and trustworthy. On the fly overdrive moving from 6.5% to 33% makes an immediate change to the driving qualities and tuning options. Plus, if you do not want to purchase additional servos for the dig or overdrive, both systems feature a mechanical lockout system so you aren't needed to run these functions unless you want to!  

The F10 Portal axles take advantage of Vanquish Product's years of experience in making the industry's best aluminum axles. The molded F10 Portal axles feature an ultra rigid style with an incorporated truss that ties both ends of the axle together, along with brass inner support tubes to include more strength and offer some weight down low to the vehicle. 

Vanquish Products VS4-10 Chassis is made to offer you with a balance of scale looks and unrestricted performance. The steel C-channel style provides scale detail, molded front and rear cross members fill the chassis rails in the highest stress locations for supreme strength and offer functions like dual servo installs, winch line routing, and a fuel cell. The molded rock sliders include a replaceable tapered outer portion that completely fits the Phoenix body. The VS4-10 chassis is established to deal 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 endure the impacts of extreme path conditions. Molded shock towers catch the top of the 80mm Cut S8E Shocks in double shear for maximum support. Narrow molded front and rear bumpers take full advantage of clearances while enhancing technique and departure angles.

The VS4-10 features Cut 80mm 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 provides scale looks by keeping the servo out of sight, while still supplying room for full suspension travel. The suspension rotates on a complete set of stainless-steel links to keep the weight down low with a smooth transition from the link to the rod ends.
