I finally decided I wanted to build a VS4-10. I have had Vanquish products on my SCx10 ii based rigs and have always been satisfied with them. After months of research and planning I started buying parts.
Some parts are very difficult to buy. They are made in small batches and go up on there webpage when they are ready. Then then sell out in hours. So getting a DIG unit took three months. The overdrive gears that provide 26% overdrive to the front axle took about a month.
every two week I ordered about 50-100 bucks worth of parts. Electronics and upgrades that sort of thing.
The kit was the last thing I bought and I got it one day before the price increase. (Just dumb luck).
I wanted the rig to be the best it could be, so planning was key.
The motor is a Holmes Hobby Puller Pro 3500kv.
Powered by a MambaX
I installed all matching ReefsRC servos for steering, winch and Dig.
The lower links are titanium and each ball linked can be adjusted to remove any play.
The rest of the kit is so over the top you can’t upgrade anything. It’s like building a Swiss watch.
For this build I needed help. So I enlisted a couple Muppets.
First step is to read the very well laid out instructions.
