About the VRD Mullet Rock Crawler
Competition-Level Chassis Performance
The Vanquish Products VRD Mullet Kit is built on a competition-proven platform with the S25 chassis optimized for a unique front F10 straight axle and rear F10 portal axle configuration. Molded chassis components, adjustable multi-point body mounts, and stamped aluminum rock sliders create a tunable and durable foundation for demanding terrain. Minimal front and rear overhang improves clearance, while multiple shock and body mounting points allow precise fitment.
Advanced Drivetrain Design
At the heart of the VRD Mullet Kit is the Carbon Spec VFD Transmission, featuring lightweight machined chromoly gears, aluminum bearing plates, and a 21% internal overdrive. The front F10 straight axle includes underdrive machined ring and pinion gears, while the rear F10 portal axle uses overdrive gears for a final 34% total overdrive. This combination delivers predictable, versatile, and highly competitive crawling performance.
Precision Suspension System
The VRD Mullet Kit comes equipped with Incision S8E shocks featuring hard anodized bodies, multiple rod-end lengths, and a tunable 85–95mm shock range. Stainless steel lower links and lightweight upper links, combined with Incision Pro M4 rod ends, provide durability and maximum articulation. Bent rear lower links enhance breakover clearance, and adjustable shock mounting positions allow full control over ride height and suspension tuning.
Innovative Mullet Design
The VRD Mullet layout provides a lower center of gravity at the front for precise steering while the portal rear axle offers additional clearance to conquer obstacles. Lightweight frame rails, a 6-degree flat skid plate, and a combination of overdrive and underdrive gearing maximize both performance and durability. This cutting-edge mullet setup makes it a standout choice for serious 1/10 competition rock crawlers.

Awesome kit! Went together nicely, performs right out of the box! Get some good tires and inserts, she will climb! I choose the Holmes Hobbies revolver 1800kv with the v3 crawl master and the reefs LP 800 servo. Boom! Smooth machine!
Another fine product from Vanquish. The only complaint would be that they flip the rear axle to achieve the mullet, which puts the housing below the lower links. The drive shaft angle created from doing this is also a bit steep. This can be fixed by two methods: turn the rear axle over and flip the third member (you have to do some clearance work with the Dremel), or get reverse cut gears. There is also a gearbox addon changing the rotation of the rear output side of the transmission. It's made by H-Tech and sells for 45 dollars.
I’ve done many kits in the past, this is my first Vanquish Product. While it is minimalist since it’s a dedicated crawler. They really knocked it out of the park. Quality injection molded parts, machining is precise, and the instructions are very comprehensive my 9 year old has assembled most of it. I will be buying more Vanquish Products in the coming months!
Love the new Mullet kit! People hate the low driveshaft in the rear but it has been zero issues zero issues with the kit assembly either.
Excellent customer service and shipping was great tyvm
Reviewers largely praise the kit's build quality, precise machining, comprehensive instructions and ease of assembly, with several reporting it performs well out of the box. Most also commend customer service and shipping speed. The main recurring criticism concerns the mullet layout, where the rear axle is flipped so the housing sits below the lower links and the driveshaft angle is steep; one reviewer describes workarounds such as reverse cut gears or a third-party gearbox. One reviewer complained about a delivery delay of about three weeks and poor service from a retailer, which conflicts with the other shipping and service comments. Overall sentiment is strongly positive.
