Vanquish VRD Carbon Competition RC Rock Crawler Kit 1/10th Scale VPS09015

The Vanquish VRD Carbon Kit is an unassembled 1/10 scale competition RC rock crawler kit for experienced builders wanting a lightweight carbon chassis, F10 portal axles and 37% overdrive for high-performance crawling.

This VRD Carbon platform is designed around a low centre of gravity competition layout with 3mm matte carbon fibre frame rails, a 6-degree flat skid plate and Lightweight Spec VFD transmission. The F10 portal axles use brass tube inserts and front alloy knuckle weights to keep mass low and forward for predictable climbing and technical crawling control.

Features

• Competition Crawler Platform: Purpose-built 1/10 kit for technical rock crawling and competition-style builds
• 3mm Carbon Fibre Frame Rails: Matte carbon rails reduce chassis weight while maintaining a rigid crawler platform
• 6-Degree Flat Skid Plate: Helps position the drivetrain low in the chassis and supports improved breakover clearance
• Lightweight Spec VFD Transmission: Low-mounted transmission layout supports a compact and capable competition setup
• 37% Final Overdrive: Front axle speed bias helps improve climbing control and turning behaviour on technical terrain
• F10 Portal Axles: Portal axle design increases ground clearance for rocks, ledges and uneven surfaces
• Weighted Axle Setup: Brass axle tube inserts and front alloy portal knuckle weights help lower the centre of gravity
• Front Servo-On-Axle Layout: Front F10 portal axle is equipped for servo-on-axle steering and 4-link geometry
• Machined Drivetrain Components: Includes machined chromoly VFD transmission gears plus machined spool, ring and pinion gears in the axles
• Chromoly Universal Axle Shafts: Durable axle shafts support smooth steering and drivetrain strength
• Incision Suspension Components: Stainless steel links, HD bent rear links and Incision Pro M4 rod ends support precise suspension movement
• Hard-Anodised Shock Bodies: Supplied shock package supports crawler tuning and durability
• Adjustable Body Mounting: Multi-point body mounting system helps suit comp-style body fitment
• Stamped Aluminium Rock Sliders: Provide side support and useful mounting area for electronics or battery placement
