Vanquish Products VFD Transmission Kit
About this part
The Vanquish Products VFD Transmission kit is designed to provide an optimal balance of performance, scale appearance, strength and versatile optional accessories. The VFD’s design places the motor forward and as low as possible to keep the weight where you want it. The T-case utilizes unique replaceable bearing plates to provide adjustable bearing positioning. The modular design of the bearing plates allow for optional gear ratios used to be used inside the T-case. The VFD transmission is compatible with 540 brushed and brushless motors*
The VFD transmission offset front output requires using an offset front axle configuration, such as VPS08370 and VPS08371**

awesome with build out from the ground up my own take on the VS4-10. SCX10 II VS4-10 Chassis Kit you will need the other battery mount VPS10127 Works also with Axial SCX10 III Standard Straight Axle Conversion Kit AXI238000. You will need to align your links so the front axle is 10 degrees or so back inline.. and you might need an adjustable panhard. Overall would like to have the VFD dig unit back in stock for this tranny.
Sweet transmission. Very clever OD system in the transmission itself. Beautiful design.
Perfect for my custom build, v1c1 gspeed class one comp crawler. Thank you
Transmission went to gather quite well, but doesn’t fit a Holmes hobbies 550 can which kinda sucks. Also, no where that I can find does it say you need different drive shaft lengths and a front axle with an offset pumpkin. Now after spending 170$ on a transmission and overdrive I have to buy new driveshafts and a whole new front axle. Not very excited and not made clear from anywhere I can find.
Reviewers generally praise the VFD transmission's design, including its built-in overdrive, and report it working well in custom crawler builds. One owner says it performed well but did not fit a Holmes Hobbies 550 can and required different driveshaft lengths and a front axle with an offset pumpkin, which they felt was not clearly stated in listings. A reviewer building on an SCX10 II VS4-10 chassis notes alignment adjustments and an adjustable panhard may be needed, and asks for the VFD dig unit to be restocked. Feedback is limited to four reviews, one of which is a single-owner compatibility complaint.
