VS4-10 PHOENIX RTR



The VS4-10 Phoenix RTR is the first RTR platform from Vanquish Products.

Features the VFD Twin transmission and F10 Straight Axles. Included is a full function digital 4 Channel VT-1 Transmitter with multiple model memory and end point adjustment, making the VS4-10 Phoenix RTR ready to be equipped for fully functioning Dig and Selectable OD. Or run it out of the box with 6% OD powered by a 35T VM-1 Motor and VE-1 3S capable ESC. The large diameter Stainless Steel links bring high end Vanquish Products kit quality to the RTR market. The drivetrain is equiped with machined ring and pinion gears, chromoly universal axle shafts, and chromoly 6-bolt spools for the ultimate in durability. Full ball bearings, metal transmission gears and 32P spur / pinion provide smooth and reliable performance when tackling the toughest terrain.

The VS4-10 Phoenix RTR is equipped with features never before offered in a scale RTR of its kind. The VFD Twin incorporates Selectable Overdrive Shifting and 3-position dig ready (servos not included*) into one compact package. The molded F10 Straight Axles utilize a high clearance design which minimizes the size of the pumpkin and maximizes clearance around the C-hub and knuckle. Connecting the VFD Twin to the F10 Axles are the ISD10 driveshafts. The ISD10 Driveshafts have machined CV style joints at each end with molded splined shafts between them for smooth, quiet and efficient performance. The large 8mm bore S8E shocks included dual X-Ring cartridge and scale threaded caps with a sealed upper bleeder screw. S8E preload adjustment is a breeze with the threaded shock bodies and collars.

Your VFD Twin equipped VS4-10 Phoenix RTR is ready for your additional servos to utilize dig and selectable overdrive using the VT-1 Transmitter.

VE-1 ESC is 3S LiPo capable and includes a strong BEC to power servo functions. The built-in jumpers can be moved to adjust LiPo cut-off and drag brake strength. Factory tuned for your VS4-10 Phoenix RTR. The VE-1 ESC is our version of the Hobbywing 1060, one of the most trusted RTR ESC’s on the market.

VM-1 35T Brushed motor is a closed endbell design tuned for the VS4-10 Phoenix RTR to provide trail torque with plenty of speed to conquer the roughest terrain with confidence.

VS-1 Metal Gear Servo tackles the steering duty on the VS4-10 Phoenix with 200oz-in of torque. Ready for all elements the VS-1 Servo is water resistant and durable with its metal gears and 25T output spline for industry standard servo horns. *

The molded rock sliders come with a replaceable tapered outer portion that perfectly fits the Phoenix body. The VS4-10 chassis is developed to work with the VFD Twin transmission to keep the overdrive and dig servo low on the platform. The panhard mount on the chassis is made from machined aluminum to withstand the impacts of severe trail conditions.

Borrowing from our proven Hurtz dig, the VFD twin shifting is smooth and reliable. On the fly overdrive shifting from 6.5% to 46% makes an immediate change to the driving characteristics and tuning options. The VFD Twin transmission places the motor forward and as low as possible.

I like the idea (kinda), but the included motor/esc/servo leave a lot to be desired. However, assuming the market is for newer drivers, the price point is good in comparison to the other rtr rigs out there. Is likely the best performing rtr as far as chassis goes.

Ya, it's a Great point for a rtr rig. Compare this to a scx10.3 rtr, I think this has a leg up.

Radio looks okey to be RTR, digital is nice with foam wheel.

The ESC is junk.
This rig is very capable and have alot awsome features, high quality parts.
This needs 80a HW 1080 ESC offcourse.

Motor is okey.

Wish they sell this with Quickrun 1080 ESC and Programmer Card (led) included in the box and asking 499$

20bucks more, alot better esc with nice setting, modular, controll.
This is a Game Changer ESC comparet to what it has now.

Vanquish should have made this 499$ with 1080 ESC
That would be awsome. And they could done this very easy.

This rig deserves that ESC

This might swing me to finally get back to running a crawler.

That would be a great option. I haven’t built one of these (yet), but curious how much disassembly would be necessary to mount the electronics, especially the motor. I have zero interest in any of the electronics included in a RTR. My wife got me the 1/18 scale Capra for Christmas. I love the little fella but already got a bunch of upgrades and planning on motor/esc (which would mean new radio & receiver as well), servo, and 3s lipo. Of course all of the upgrades alone are easily 2x the cost of the rig, but 15+ crawlers on the bench now I’d say that that’s normal.

Yeah , that would be the dream . Ready Build Roller.
Just put your own Motor. ESC and Servo-. Use own radio, just buy extra receiver.
This Crawler deserves Brushless Combo.


Second best option would be like it is RTR , but With HW 1080 ESC.

I dont understund why they did release this with that Crap ESC. Because this rig is very Capable.
And we all know that 1080 ESC with Programmer Card is a true Game Changer.
A really true Crawler ESC with great Settings/parameters easy set up with included Led Programmer Card.
