I'm confused as what parts exactly would i need to swap these on.Do i need the Vanquish truss or can i use an Axial 4-link truss?Do i need the servo plate or can i use my stock one?Do i need custom links or is it a direct swap for use with Axial link kit, i'd use 4-link in the back at least.Do they affect the wheelbase(using same links as stock) or track width?Can someone who has these explain what is needed to swap from stock to these?

I'm pretty sure it works with all stock ax-10 and SCX-10 parts. I will find out shortly since they will be arriving at my house tomorrow along with the axle truss and servo plate. I will post if it seems as if they need special parts. I also ordered new C-hubs , knuckles, rear lockouts as well as hardened under and overdrive gears. I've got some work ahead of me tomorrow .

You will need ....
-Axle Truss
-Bearing Caps
-Scx10 or wraith Shock posts
-Axle cover,,,also the same as a wraith

scottanthony · 10-26-2012, 07:05 PM

Oh, and yes,,,..VP servo plate...urs will not mount unless you drill it.

Can you tell me if they keep the same exact wheelbase and trackwidth?I'm trying to keep that stock so i can use a hilux body without having to do too much of making custom links and fiddling around so i can easily go back to stock axles if i want to use the Vanquish axles for something else later.Thanks

They seem to be pretty dam nice. The only thing I've noticed so far is the shock height. Since it uses the wraith mounts it makes it a little higher. So ill figure that out when i finish the rear.

Do like every other person in the world does with their wraith and flip the axle shock mounts to drop the ride height.

Wow those are sexy!!! What brand C's and knuckles did you go with? I purchased some STRC's and the fit was horribly loose (C's). And like Skin said, just flip the link/shock mounts and it will lower it a good bit.

Flipping the mounts screws up the pinion angle since it needs a shorter lower link. So i guess ill need to make new links now.

Yes they are STRC chubs and knucks. Fit isn't bad but ill swap these for VP soon.
