VS4-10 BUILDERS KIT - STRAIGHT AXLE
1/10 VS4-10 Straight Axle 4x4 Rock Crawler Builders Kit
Introducing the VS4-10 Straight Axle Builders Kit.
Drivetrain
The VS4-10 Builders Kit features the Vanquish Products VFD transmission and F10 straight Axles. The molded F10 Straight Axles utilize a high clearance design which minimizes the size of the pumpkin and maximizes strength around the C-hub and knuckle. Connecting the VFD 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 efficient performance.
VFD Transmission
The VFD is designed to provide an optimal balance of performance, scale appearance, strength and versatile optional accessories. The VFD’s design places the motor forward and as low as possible to keep the weight where you want it. Out of the box the VFD Spec transmission provides a 6.5% overdrive to provide better turning and climbing performance without taxing your electronics. The T-case utilizes unique replaceable bearing plates to provide adjustable bearing positioning. The modular design of the bearing plates allow for optional gear ratios to be used inside the T-case. The VFD transmission is compatible with 540 brushed and brushless motors.
F10 Straight Axles
The F10 Plastic Molded Straight axles benefit from Vanquish Product’s years of design experience in making the industry’s best aluminum axles. The molded F10 Straight axles feature an ultra rigid design with an integrated truss that ties both ends of the axle together, and oversized C's with an integrated panhard mount.
Chassis
Vanquish Products VS4-10 Chassis is made to provide you with a balance of scale looks and unhindered performance. The steel C-channel design provides scale detail, molded front and rear cross members fill the chassis rails in the highest stress locations for ultimate strength and provide features like dual servo mounts, winch line routing, and a fuel cell. The molded rock sliders come with a replaceable outer portion. The panhard mount on the chassis is made from machined aluminum to withstand the impacts of severe trail conditions. Molded shock towers capture the top of the 90mm Incision S8E Shocks in double shear for maximum support.
Suspension
The VS4-10 features Incision 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 provides scale looks by keeping the servo out of sight, while still providing room for full suspension travel. The suspension pivots on a full set of stainless steel links to keep the weight down low with a smooth transition from the link to the rod ends.
S8E Scale Shocks
The Incision S8E Scale Shocks feature a larger 8mm bore for increased damping. The increased volume reduces internal shock pressures for longer seal life. Dual molded X-Ring lower shock cartridge provides more sealing surfaces than standard o-rings. Threaded shock bodies allow for a wide spring preload range. Offset lower shock pivot balls allow for greater flexibility for tuning shock angles.
