Linekillaz™ — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Vanquish Products announced the new VS4-10 Phoenix Portal high performance 4WD truck in 1/10-scale and comes in kit form.

The VS4-10 Phoenix Portal is the first platform to feature the Vanquish Products VFD Twin transmission (patent pending) and F10 Portal Axles.

The VFD Twin incorporates Selectable Overdrive Shifting and a 3-position dig unit into one compact package. The molded F10 Portal Axles utilize a high clearance design which minimizes the size of the pumpkin and maximizes clearance around the C-hub and knuckle. Connecting the VFD Twin to the F10 Portal Axles are the ISD10 driveshafts. The ISD10 Driveshafts have machined CV style joints at each end with molded splined shafts between them for smooth and efficient performance.

About VS4-10 Phoenix Portal

The 3-piece Phoenix body includes the VRD1 Rear cage assembly allowing for a variety of configurations. Removable bed sides expose the rear cage for a more aggressive appearance. Molded grill, front and rear headlight buckets, hidden body posts with hinged design. Full high detailed interior.

The VS4-10 chassis is developed to work with the VFD Twin transmission to keep the overdrive and dig servo low on the platform. The panhard mount on the chassis is made from machined aluminum to withstand the impacts of severe trail conditions. Molded shock towers capture the top of the 80mm Incision S8E Shocks in double shear for maximum support. Narrow molded front and rear bumpers maximize clearances while improving approach and departure angles.

The Incision S8E Scale Shocks feature a larger 8mm bore for increased dampening. The increased volume reduces internal shock pressures for longer seal life. Dual molded X-Ring lower shock cartridge provides more sealing surfaces than standard o-rings. Threaded shock bodies allow for a wide spring preload range. Offset lower shock pivot balls allow for greater flexibility for tuning shock angles.

VFD Twin Transmission

The VFD Twin Transmission (Patent Pending) kit is an evolution of the original VFD. Taking the same balance of performance, scale appearance, strength, and adding industry first features. The VFD Twin comes equipped with selectable overdrive and rear dig. Twin shifting transfer case utilizes replaceable bearing plates, a brass pivot for the shift arms, and chromoly shift slides. Borrowing from our proven Hurtz dig, the VFD twin shifting is smooth and reliable. On the fly overdrive shifting from 6.5% to 33% makes an immediate change to the driving characteristics and tuning options. The VFD Twin transmission places the motor forward and as low as possible.

F10 Portal Axles

The F10 Portal axles benefit from Vanquish Product’s years of experience in making the industry’s best aluminum axles. The molded F10 Portal axles feature an ultra rigid design with an integrated truss that ties both ends of the axle together, as well as brass inner reinforcement tubes to add more strength and provide some weight down low to the vehicle.

Wrap-Up

This combination provides performance advantages never before offered in a scale kit of its kind.
