Vanquish Products VS410 Pro Aluminum VFD Hurtz Shifter 3-Position Dig (Silver)
About this part
This is an optional Vanquish Products Aluminum VFD Hurtz Shifter 3-Position Dig Unit, intended for use with Vanquish Products VFD Transmission.
Features:
- Designed to increase the capability of your vehicle while maintaining maximum strength
- Compatible with the Vanquish Products VFD Transmission
- Rear output does not slide in and out, so driveshaft length is easier to manage
- Servo mounted is included in the Vanquish Products VS4-10 Pro kit and VS4-10 Chassis Kit*
- All drive parts are made from high quality chromoly steel
- Requires the use of a radio with adjustable endpoints on an unused auxiliary channel
- The lever design of the shifter means that you do not need an expensive servo to reliably operate this unit
- *If installing this dig into an Origin Limited and swapping to a VFD transmission, you must purchase the rear plastic cross brace, slider bases, and VFD electronics plates.
- **Clearances are very tight and require a low profile servo horn, using a Vanquish Products servo horn is highly recommended

The quality is excellent. However, I haven’t installed it on my optic yet. Update. Installed the dig unit on my H10. Once i got the servo tuned in, it works great. Just like it’s supposed to. I love it
I have had this for about a month now and it is as tough as nails and smooth as silk. You move your AUX switch to what you want it to do and it does it without hesitation, clunking, chattering, missed shifts. Nor is there anything special that you have to do to make the DIG unit do select any of its three options. There is only one thing that you should do to the unit when installing and that is to make sure that you do not bind your shift arm when setting up the end stop travel of the DIG unit. This caution is the same caution that you take when setting up your steering servo with the proper end travel for your vehicles steering. You should also tune the DIG to get as much travel out of the locking lugs to lock together with as much metal as possible to prevent chipping the locking rotors. If you do not get this just right, you probably will not do much or if any damage because I believe that the locking hubs are made from Chrom-Molly steel. When you are all done installing the unit, and if done properly, you will not have to make any further adjustments. I have been heavily using my DIG for a month and everything is still as I set it. There is just one thing more and that is try and slow down a little before selecting one of the shift options. The slowing down will help the unit to select one of the three option choices. Just take your time installing and ENJOY!
Works like it should. Set it and forget it. Make sure to get the longer 24mm Vanquish servo horn with this. I’m using this Dig in my VS410 Ultra with a standard size servo, and battery tray in place.
This looks nice, but the design allows it to get filled with debris. The cog that locks on to the transmission output shaft doesn't set even no matter how much you adjust it. The cogs fight to engage, and rarely do in a reasonable amount of movement. After installing a Treal aluminum case and full size servo on the stock Capra dig, it works (easily) 5x better than the Vanquish dig. It effortlessly engages and releases. With the Vanquish...half the time in engages, the other half you hear your servo wind. This burnt up my Reef99 servo also that was running a servo (not) saver. Needless to say, I'm out nearly $140 because of this damn dig and that servo.
Love Vanquish quality and precision! Dig works wonders on the trail! A true must have… Easy install! AMain is the best with super fast shipping!
Reviewers generally praise the build quality and smooth operation of this aluminum 3-position dig unit, with most describing easy setup once the servo is tuned and the shift arm is kept free of binding. Several note the benefit of a longer 24mm servo horn. Recurring complaints include a 2/5 review reporting debris intrusion, poor cog engagement with the transmission shaft, and servo strain that led to a burned-out servo. A 3/5 reviewer reported that the included instructions were for an older dig setup and that the servo arm clears the battery tray only marginally, requiring modifications. Several reviews mention the seller's helpful service. Reviews are mostly positive, but the negative experiences are specific and not isolated to a single fit configuration.
