About the VS4-10 Portal Kit
Chassis
The VS4-10 Chassis blends scale realism with high-performance durability, utilizing a heavy-duty steel C-channel frame that provides exceptional rigidity and strength. Designed to endure extreme terrain challenges, it maintains accurate scale proportions while ensuring an optimal weight balance for superior handling. The molded front and rear cross members reinforce key stress points while also incorporating dual servo mounting locations, integrated winch line routing, and a detailed scale fuel cell. Molded rock sliders with replaceable outer sections allow easy adaptability for various body widths while adding a layer of protection against obstacles. Additionally, the machined aluminum panhard mount ensures precise and reliable steering geometry, while the molded shock towers secure the 80mm Incision S8E shocks in a sturdy double shear configuration, enhancing durability under extreme driving conditions.
F10 Portal Axles
The F10 Portal Axles set a higher standard in durability, clearance, and smooth power delivery, leveraging Vanquish Products’ expertise in high-performance axle design. These axles are engineered for extreme off-road capability with a high-clearance portal configuration that reduces the differential housing size while maximizing ground clearance around the C-hubs and knuckles. This design minimizes hang-ups on obstacles, improving overall traction and control in technical terrain. The rigid one-piece molded housings integrate an axle truss, reinforcing structural integrity while reducing flex.
Internally, machined hypoid gears provide improved gear engagement, reduced driveline stress, and smoother power transfer. The inclusion of brass axle tube inserts and heavy alloy portal knuckle weights lowers the center of gravity for enhanced climbing stability. With a 49° steering angle, these axles deliver exceptional maneuverability, allowing for precise handling in the most challenging conditions.
VFD Twin Transmission
At the core of the VS4-10 Portal Axle Builders Kit lies the revolutionary VFD Twin Transmission, a next-generation drivetrain system engineered for ultimate control, durability, and efficiency. This transmission features Selectable Overdrive Shifting, allowing drivers to toggle between 6.5% standard overdrive and a high 46% overdrive, dramatically altering the vehicle’s driving dynamics.
This system enables sharper turns and increased front-wheel speed for improved climbing performance. Additionally, the 3-position dig unit enhances maneuverability by enabling rear-axle locking, allowing for tight turns and controlled descents on steep inclines. Built for extreme durability, the VFD Twin incorporates machined internal gears, hardened chromoly shafts, and reinforced metal bearing plates, ensuring long-lasting performance under high stress.
A machined aluminum motor plate and VFD posts provide a stable foundation, while the slipper eliminator ensures maximum power transfer with minimal loss. Further enhancing scale realism, the VFD Twin features a molded transmission housing, an extended skid plate for motor protection, and silicone dust shields to guard against debris. Whether navigating treacherous rock formations or high-speed trails, the VFD Twin Transmission offers an unparalleled level of control and adaptability, making it a game-changer in the world of RC rock crawling.
Suspension
The VS4-10’s suspension system is engineered for maximum articulation, stability, and precision. Outfitted with Incision 80mm S8E shocks, this suspension setup provides smooth travel with hard-anodized aluminum threaded bodies, dual X-ring seals, locking preload collars, polished steel shock shafts, and machined pistons for precise damping characteristics. The 3-link front suspension with a panhard bar ensures proper geometry while maintaining a scale-accurate hidden servo setup. Meanwhile, the triangulated rear suspension enhances stability, allowing for controlled movement over unpredictable terrain. Combined with stainless steel links and pivot balls, the VS4-10’s suspension delivers durability, flexibility, and predictability, ensuring consistent handling across the toughest off-road challenges.
