VS4-10 Modular System Official Thread - Info and FAQ's

[Brandon]

The VS4-10 was developed to be more than just a kit. The goal is to provide a variety of parts that work together and allow customers to achieve the setup they want.

Vanquish is finally at the stage where a good selection of parts are now available and I figured it was time to create a thread to provide additional information and answer some questions. Each post will be updated as new parts are released for the VS4-10 modular system.


The main section of the Vanquish Products website with everything VS4-10 related can be found here: https://www.vanquishproducts.com/vanquish-vs4-10-parts/

The following posts will go over different components and options on building a VS4-10 by piecing it together or what changes can easily be made to your Kit.

• Axles
• Transmission

Please feel free to ask questions, suggest additional information that should be added. Or product ideas. We will keep this updated with relevant information to make this the quick and easy place to reference anything VS4-10 related.

Great idea. The VS410 is a very well laid out platform with an innovative design - by far my favorite kit that I've built. Look forward to seeing how the platform grows!

Thanks! We are looking forward to it growing as well. It feels like its taken forever to get to this point but its definitely time for a thread like this to help lay everything out.

Its going to take some time to gather all the information and add it to the first few posts but I think the effort will be worth it.

 

[soze]

Awesome, nice thread.

 

[mikemcE]

Rough price range for the VFD upgrade trans set?

[carpetfuzz17]

Being that the original Origin is discontinued does that mean the original body is going to be discontinued also???

 

[roadrashracing]

Got two vs410 chassis I built up. One has standard axial transmission with f9 axles. The other truck has the Currie portal s with an Enduro transmission.

Great thread idea! Nice layout and descriptions in each section. This is exactly what us VS4-10 owners and future owners need.

It's great to see that there are more and more parts becoming available separately to build using the VS4-10 platform.

Looking forward to seeing more info in the future.

Thanks Brandon, Josh and the rest of the VP team!

After seeing Josh's build, I want to build a chassis kit with TRX4 portals and a standard 3 gear tranny. 12.3" wheelbase. Love the chassis kit!

Thanks for the update Brandon!"thumbsup"

I have a question about the VPS10142 VFD 30T 6.5% Bearing Plate Set.

Does this set come with the alum spacer that goes in between the plates?

It is not listed in the description. I just wanted to be sure before I order these for the VFD trans kit.

Thanks!
