The Vanquish Products VS4-10 Fordyce Ready-to-Run (RTR) Straight Axle Rock Crawler has been built upon a proven chassis and given a killer retro-inspired bodyshell. The drivetrain features is constructed using the Vanquish Products VFD Spec Transmission and molded F10 axles. A brushed 35T VM-1 Motor and VE-1 3S capable ESC give you full control and allow for extreme scale movement. Incorporating cutting-edge technology and precision engineering, the Vanquish VS4-10 Fordyce Ready to Run Rock Crawler stands ready to deliver unparalleled off-road performance and excitement.
Fitted with the highly desired VFD Spec transmission and the reliable F10 Straight Axles, this capable crawler is primed for trail-blazing action. Boasting a 6.5% OD (Over Drive) VFD gearset, driven by the VM-1 Motor, it delivers exceptional slow-speed control and an all-around impressive crawling performance. The F10 straight axles are outfitted with a one piece ring gear and spool and is paired with a precision-machined pinion gear. The robust chromoly universal axle shafts allow for an impressive steering range of up to 49 degrees. Full ball bearing support and 32P pinion and spur ensure an impeccably smooth and consistent drivetrain.
Facilitating the seamless connection between the VFD Spec and the F10 Axles, the Vanquish VS4-10 employs the advanced ISD10 driveshafts. These driveshafts feature meticulously crafted CV-style joints at both extremities, coupled with molded splined shafts that interlink them, ensuring a fluid, noiseless, and remarkably efficient performance. The incorporation of sizable 8mm bore S8E shocks adds to the suspension prowess, boasting dual X-Ring cartridges and precision-engineered threaded caps, complete with a meticulously sealed upper bleeder screw. Fine-tuning the S8E preload is effortlessly achieved through the utilization of threaded shock bodies and collars, exemplifying the system's user-friendly design.
