![]() TITANIUM LINKS ? (do I need Vanquish links? plan to run 4-link setup) Axial SCX10 Axle Lockouts for AX10, Honcho Axial SCX-10 universal cvd, honcho, VVD Heavy Duty Axle Shafts Unless front/rear are the same? Are they?Īpart from axle housing I think I also need: I'd like to get these axle housings for front and rear, but VP seems to have this one only: Here is what I think I need, please add/subtract something I got wrong or missing please: Basically, I'd like to upgrade my whole driveline and steering and I do have a rough idea what I need but I'm not entirely sure which parts I need exactly and I really don't want to order something and then realise that I forgot to order something so I have to wait some more. I've been looking online a lot but couldn't find exactly what I'm after. We also have a review of the ultra powerful servo the ProTec 370TBL and Hobby Wing’s brushless crawler kit.I'm new to scale/crawling and was wondering if someone could assist me a bit with this. There will be more videos upcoming of some trail time with the new axles and tires. ![]() Beyond the extra height you can approach obstacles completely differently to a standard axle equipped truck. The driving characteristics of your rig will change dramatically. The extra steps for the portal boxes are simple and easy. They aren’t any more difficult than standard AR44 axles. Follow the directions and put them together. I didn’t cover assembly of the axles because there isn’t anything special about assembly. I had to machine down an existing nut driver to get it to fit in the opening of the SLW hub. ![]() Vanquish sells a kit with 3 drivers for $49.99, or a replacement 8mm that is perpetually out of stock. Those wheels require a special 8 mm nut driver. Hurdle number two involves the wheels one more time. In the end, the wheels we ended up with were worth the wait but if are doing this upgrade make sure to plan ahead! Sold out, back ordered or ugly kept us from finding wheels for quite a while. Getting your hands on their wheels proves to be another matter. Vanquish makes wheels that fit perfectly using their SLW hub system. The first major hurdle is finding wheels that fit. T hese issues cost money and can be really annoying due to limited availability. The bad comes down to a couple of easily solved issues. Brass knuckle bushing from the AR60 axles are used in place of SCX10-II sized for more durability.Portal box built into the included knuckle with bolt on high steer arm for double shear mounting.Chromoly stub shafts with 6mm design at the drive pin which tapers down to a 5mm thread for ultimate strength.Chromoly AR60 size VVD axle shafts come preassembled.These are full metal housings with precision machined surfaces. These are serious pieces of equipment with the materials and craftsmanship to go with it. At $299.99 for the front SCX 10 II axle and $199.99 for the SCX 10 II rear axle, you aren’t buying these for some weekend bashing. Quality costs money and these axles are “high” quality.Īll puns aside the Vanquish axles are not cheap. I know I bend tie rods like I own the metal plant. Considering that most of us drive our RC trucks far harder than our 1:1 off-road rides portal axles can be a real benefit. Previously on 4WAAM – “What the Diff – Portal Axles Explained” we delved into what a portal axle is and what makes it awesome. These axles are a direct replacement to any Axial AR44 axle, using all stock links. By adding reduction at the portal, less torque is transferred through the other upstream components in the drivetrain. The advantage of the Vanquish Currie F9 Portals is the gear reduction inside the portal (1.67:1) which can be adjusted with optional gear sets (1.4:1 Overdrive). This provides the equivalent of a tire over 1 inch taller than what is on your vehicle. The F9 Portal axles create extreme amounts of ground clearance under the center of your axle, increasing the clearance by 1/2″+ (13mm). ![]() Vanquish – Currie F9 Portal Axles for the SCX10II We have a product from one manufacturer provide by a different entity. Which makes this review a little different. First things first, a big shout out to AMain Hobbies for supplying the Vanquish axles. ![]()
