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

Overview

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

The RTR features a pre-painted Phoenix Lexan body with integrated VRD1 cage for scale and optimized clearance. Performance is further enhanced by S8E shocks with 8 mm bore, threaded bodies, and bleed screws, Red Compound Falken Wildpeak M/T tires, and Incision KMC KM233 beadlock wheels. The included 4-channel VT-1 digital radio offers full Dig and OD control* and can be used right 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 C-channel chassis rails of high-quality steel with integrated cross members for maximum stiffness. Integrated rock sliders and bumpers provide protection and increase ground clearance. Robust aluminum panhard mounts and dual shear shock absorbers enhance adjustability and durability.

Drivetrain

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

Suspension

Incision S8E shock absorbers with large bore use dual X-ring cartridges and threaded adjustment rings for precise tuning. Stainless steel suspension and steering rods with Incision M4 rod ends ensure 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), suitable for 3S LiPo, adjustable LiPo cutoff and drag brake
• VM-1 35T brush motor with closed end bell

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 lubricate it again if necessary.
