Vanquish Products Hurtz Shifter Dig

Went out for some testing today and all I can say is; WOW!!!! I tried everything I could think of to get it not to work, no luck. I bound it so hard and each time it operated super smooth. With my old set up I would have to take a reverse to releave pressure so it would lock or unlock. The only thing that caused a problem was when I released the dig in a bound situation (I mean really bound up) the rig shot forward with some force. I feel this dig is the set up to have for the shafties to competitive against moa rigs.
Thanks again Vanquish for putting out great quality products.

Yes it is a 3 position. And you can use a DX3R with no problem. I use my "E" button to operate my dig set for 3 position. All the way forward=4 wheel, one click back=free wheel, another click back=rear lock. Then one click forward=free wheel, another click forward=4 wheel. It takes some getting use to. If you want to go directly to dig you need to be fast with the button. You won't be disappointed with this dig."thumbsup"
Got mine installed this weekend with a front mounted micro servo.
Seems to be working fine so far.
I didn't notice anything in the instructions about polishing any parts like I had to for the DNA dig .... Was I supposed to polish anything?

if you ordered through the store, you should have received an automated reply from the store. you will get a tracking number as soon as it ships. ok ... if you did not get any reply then email vanquishproducts@yahoo.com. with your order number and name and one of the girls will help you out right away.

I never got a e-mail. I sent an e-mail with my name and order # little bit ago. I payed thru pay-pal if that makes any diffrence.
Edit: Got a e-mail from Tom yesterday and he explained why my order hasn't shipped. Thanx guys for getting back to me and keeping me informed.

I'm running mine with the Traxxas 4648x steel yokes with no problems. So far I have beat the hell out of my Hurtz and it continues to work flawlessly. Buy it.

If I order 2 of these, is there any reason that I could not install one front & rear for dual digs?
Looking at my stock AX trans the front & rear outputs look very similar so I don't see why it wouldn't work on both front and rear ...??
(I know this will require an extra channel but have a 7ch pistol grip remote to handle this along with 4ws and whatever other fun goodies I come up with
)
I have a HH 7T Cobalt puller & MIP shafts and will probably be running dual mini or micro servos for the digs.
Also, have the mini or micro mounts been released yet? I don't see the option on vanquish's website?
Thanks!"thumbsup"

I was looking at my AX trans and realized the spur gear wasn't on... I put it on and you're right, it wouldn't clear the dig housing... and also the housing would have no mounting bolts as they're integral to the spur & motor mount plate... I was just about to edit my question and post this up...
I would really like to have rear digs as well. I'm considering the dual RC4WD dig, but this VP dig looks amazing. Very well thought out and built solidly. I think I may end up running one of these along with a driveshaft dig... Unless someone has a better idea? PM me ideas if this is getting too far off topic
Unless the housing could be modified to clear a spur gear and mount up ok? maybe the vanquish crew would know if this is possible?

we actually have a good solid plan for our 4 wheel dig but it is not even in planning at this time which pretty much means if we started today it would be months before you see one. but the good news is there is some dam cool stuff comming down the pipe.

Great news! Thanks for the insight"thumbsup"
I think I'll go ahead with a VP dig and maybe hack up a shaft dig too so I can have dual digs until you guys release your dual dig.
Anywhere I can sign up to be on a mailing list or something when this new stuff comes down the pipe?
Thanks Tom.

No idea what I'm doing

got my VP dig installed the other day and so far is working great in my fairly stock ax10. little bit of noise that i cant track down, but it seems to have lessened after crawling today.
