Vanquish VS4-10 Fordyce RTR - Grey

The Vanquish VS4-10 Fordyce RTR is a detailed 1/10th scale rock crawler that combines classic off-road looks with modern technology. Equipped with the proven VFD Spec transmission, F10 straight axles, and a three-piece Fordyce body with VRD1 roll cage, this RTR crawler offers an impressive blend of stability, scale design, and trail performance.

The VFD transmission with 6.5% overdrive ensures balanced handling and optimal climbing characteristics. The F10 solid axles feature universal axle shafts with 49° steering angle and one-piece ring and spool gears for maximum durability. The ISD10 drive shafts with CV joints ensure smooth and efficient power transmission.

The S8E 90 mm shock absorbers with 8 mm piston rods, X-ring seals, and threaded bodies offer sensitive damping and easy preload adjustment. The steel C-beam chassis with aluminum Panhard mounts, dual shear pin mounts, and rock sliders ensure maximum rigidity and protection off-road.

The body features a concealed clip system and hinge mechanism, allowing quick access to the electronics. The KMC KM237 Riot Beadlock wheels and Falken Wildpeak M/T 1.9" RED Compound tires provide excellent grip and scale looks .

Chassis and running gear

The VS4-10 chassis offers a perfect balance of scale looks and unrestricted performance.
The heavy-duty C-beam steel frame rails ensure realistic detail and maximum stability.
Front and rear plastic cross members reinforce the most stress-intensive areas and offer features such as dual servo mounts, winch routing, and a scale replica fuel tank.
The rock sliders feature an interchangeable, tapered outer section that perfectly matches the Fordyce body.
The machined aluminum Panhard mount withstands the toughest trail conditions.
Molded shock towers hold the upper mounts of the 90mm Incision S8E shocks in double shear for maximum stability.
Narrow, sculpted front and rear bumpers maximize ground clearance and improve approach and breakover angles.

Main chassis features:

• Heavy-duty C-profile steel rails with high ground clearance
• Molded front inner fenders with integrated LED brackets
• Replaceable molded rock sliders
• Narrow front and rear bumpers for better climbing characteristics
• Integrated battery tray and electronics holders
• Stainless steel steering and suspension rods
• Molded inner fenders with front hinge and scale radiator mount

Transmission and drive

The VFD transmission is engineered for an optimal balance of performance, scale appearance, stability, and compatibility with optional accessories.
The design positions the motor as far forward and low as possible to optimize the center of gravity. From the factory, the VFD spec transmission
delivers a 6.5% overdrive , improving cornering and climbing performance without stressing the electronics. The T-case transfer case uses replaceable bearing plates for adjustable bearing positions and allows for optional gear ratios.

• 6.5% standard overdrive
• Sintered internal gears
• Hardened chromoly drive shafts
• Molded extended VFD sliding plate for motor protection
• Molded battery and electronics trays
• Fully ball-bearing gearbox
