VS4-10 CHASSIS DETAILS
The VS4-10 Chassis brings unmatched rigidity, superior build quality, and a versatile design, making it a popular choice for a wide range of projects.

VFD Transmission
The VFD is designed for optimal performance, scale appearance, strength, and versatile accessories. It positions the motor forward and low for ideal weight distribution. The VFD Spec transmission offers a 6.5% overdrive for improved turning and climbing without stressing electronics. The T-case features replaceable bearing plates for adjustable positioning and optional gear ratios. Compatible with 540 brushed and brushless motors*.

Strength and Tunability
The VFD transmission has wide metal gears inside for strength in the areas that count. The option to build the VFD transmission with a variety of option parts allows you to tune the performance to your needs.

Suspension
The VS4-10 features Incision 90mm S8E shocks with 8mm bore aluminum threaded bodies, dual X-ring seals, locking preload collars, keyed spring cups, polished steel shock shafts, and machined pistons. The front 3-link with panhard suspension offers scale looks by hiding the servo, while allowing full suspension travel. Stainless steel links ensure low weight and durability.

Strength and Capability
A proven combination of 3-link with panhard front suspension and triangulated rear suspension will allow your custom project to perform as good as it looks. The high clearance chassis and 90mm S8E shocks will give you the flexibility and predictability to conquer the terrain.
