Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Straight Axle RTR 1/10 (Gray)

Overview

The VS4-10 Phoenix RTR is the first Ready-to-Run platform from Vanquish Products—a proven crawler that combines high-quality drivetrain components with thoughtful engineering. At its core is the VFD Twin transmission with selectable overdrive and Dig functionality*, combined with durable F10 straight axles. Machined ring and pinion gears, chromoly universal drive shafts, and steel 6-bolt spools provide excellent durability. Full ball bearings, 32P gears, and stainless steel links deliver a smooth and highly reliable driving experience, even in demanding terrain.

The RTR features a pre-painted Phoenix Lexan body with an integrated VRD1 cage for scale appearance and optimized clearance. Performance is further enhanced by S8E shocks with 8 mm bores, threaded bodies, and bleed caps, Red Compound Falken Wildpeak M/T tires, and Incision KMC KM233 beadlock wheels. The included 4-channel VT-1 digital radio provides full Dig and OD control* and can be used straight out of the box with the factory 6% overdrive setup, powered by the 35T VM-1 brushed motor and 3S-compatible VE-1 ESC.

Chassis

The VS4-10 chassis is built around high-quality steel C-channel chassis rails with integrated crossmembers for maximum stiffness. Integrated rock sliders and bumpers provide protection and increase ground clearance. Robust aluminum panhard mounts and double-shear shock mounts improve adjustability and durability.

Drivetrain

The VFD Twin transmission offers selectable overdrive (from 6.5% to 46%) and optional 3-position Dig functionality in a compact, easy-to-maintain design. All gears are fully ball-bearing-supported and machined from sintered metal for maximum strength. The F10 straight axles feature a high-clearance hypoid gear design with reinforced C-hubs. Machined ISD10 drive shafts with CV-style ends connect the axles to the transmission for quiet and smooth torque delivery.

Suspension

Incision S8E big-bore shocks use dual X-ring cartridges and threaded adjustment collars for precise tuning. Stainless steel suspension and steering links with Incision M4 rod ends provide accurate geometry and long-lasting performance. The rear lower arms are bent for increased ground clearance.

Electronics

• VT-1 4-channel digital transmitter with display, memory for 15 models, and endpoint adjustment
• VE-1 ESC (based on the Hobbywing 1060), 3S LiPo capable, with adjustable LiPo cutoff and drag brake
• VM-1 35T brushed motor with a closed endbell
• VS-1 waterproof metal-gear servo with 590 g/cm of torque and a 25T spline output

Note

• To activate Dig and the selectable Overdrive functionality, two standard servos with 24 mm servo horns are required (not included).
• The transmission dust cover is not 100% waterproof. Use the cover to regularly check the transmission for dirt and regrease it as necessary.
