Designed for demanding terrain, this kit brings drivetrain innovations, exceptional ground clearance, and a low center of gravity to maximize control and capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the VS4-10 Portal Axle Builders kit is the VFD Twin transmission, an advanced system with Selectable Overdrive Shifting (6.5% to 46%) and a 3-position dig unit—all in a compact, efficient package. Machined internal gears, metal bearing plates, and a durable machined aluminum motorplate ensure lasting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is transferred through ISD10 driveshafts, featuring machined CV-style joints for smooth and efficient operation. The F10 Portal Axles optimize clearance with a compact design while integrating machined hypoid gears, chromoly spools, and brass axle tube inserts for added strength and weight distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVFD Twin Transmission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VFD Twin Transmission builds upon the proven VFD platform, integrating advanced drivetrain control with a focus on performance, durability, and scale realism. This system features Selectable Overdrive Shifting and a 3-position dig unit, providing real-time tuning for any terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith on-the-fly overdrive shifting, drivers can toggle between 6.5% (standard) and 46% (high overdrive), dramatically changing the driving dynamics. The overdrive neutral position also allows for 2WD mode, disengaging the front output when needed. The integrated 3-position dig locks the rear axle for tight turns or full control on steep inclines, borrowing from Vanquish Products' proven Hurtz dig design for reliable, smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the VFD Twin is built for durability with hardened chromoly shafts, machined internal gears, and bearing plates reinforcing critical load points. A slipper eliminator ensures maximum power transfer, while the molded transmission housing maintains a scale appearance. The extended skid plate provides added protection for the motor in rough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eF10 Portal Axles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F10 Portal Axles are designed with a focus on durability, clearance, and smooth performance, leveraging Vanquish Products’ extensive experience in high-performance axle design. These axles feature a high-clearance portal configuration, reducing the size of the differential housing while maximizing ground clearance around the C-hubs and knuckles. This design improves obstacle clearance, minimizes hang-ups, and keeps your rig performing in technical terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rigid one-piece molded housings incorporate an integrated truss that strengthens the axle structure by tying both ends together. The high-pinion hypoid gear setup improves gear engagement, reduces driveline stress, and provides smoother power delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor increased traction and stability, both front and rear axles include weighted brass tube inserts, while the front axle also features heavy alloy knuckle weights. This strategic weight placement lowers the center of gravity, improving climbing performance and reducing the risk of rollovers. The 49° of steering angle provides exceptional maneuverability, giving you tighter turning capability in challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional scale details include a removable third member, one-piece molded bearing retainers, and adjustable lower shock mounting positions for fine-tuning suspension geometry. The 6mm output shafts with M5 wheel nuts ensure durability and compatibility with a wide range of wheel setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VS4-10 chassis is built for a balance of scale realism and high-performance durability, utilizing a heavy-duty steel C-channel frame that provides exceptional rigidity and strength. Designed to handle the demands of extreme terrain, this chassis maintains scale proportions while maximizing functionality for optimal handling and weight distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolded front and rear cross members reinforce high-stress areas, increasing structural integrity where it matters most. These cross members also incorporate dual servo mounting locations, integrated winch line routing, and a scale fuel cell, adding both versatility and realism to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rock sliders feature a modular, replaceable outer section, allowing easy adjustments to accommodate different body widths while also serving as a protective barrier against obstacles. This ensures a precise fit for a wide range of body styles without sacrificing durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum panhard mount provides reliable steering geometry, keeping suspension movement controlled and predictable.
