Vanquish for SCX10, Currie or Vanquish housing?

[DrDiff952]

Does anyone have the Vanquish SCX10 Housing?

What do you think Currie or SCX10 Housing?

Unless you really want aluminum housings i would say neither of them...a simple stock scx10 housing with some upgrades can be pretty much bullet proof leaving you a bit more to spend in other areas...you may want the aluminum axles and thats fine bit just letting you know its not needed.

Beeftubes, locked up front and rear lockers, locked up OT rear axles, some front universals and the usual hd ring and pinion gear set etc... Is all you need for a bullet proof axle assemblies....you probably wont care scraping over the rocks either since after 6 months you can replace the plastic housing for maybe 20 bucks...the plastic slides better over the rocks anyway..less hang ups..just my .02 cents...nice project by the way...looks good.

But the Currie axles look so awesome!!!

I love my Curries but like 6sharky9 said they are $$ and the money could be spent elsewhere.

You'll spend more $ the vp scx housing and parts than the curries.
Curries come with everything.

Both will work,but with added weight.
So it's good and bad.

Good it's weight down low..axle weight. Scale looks.
Bad ,alum doesnt slide that well over rocks.

I have a rear Currie on my twin hammers...the scale looks are awesome.
There is noticeable weight difference from stock to Full Alum housing.

I run the curries with VP knuckles and hubs. Don't forget you will need new links for the curries made or bought. But if you just spent that much might as well spend the money on the Currie links to compliment everything.... Lol. another side note is I read someone just wanted a rear Currie axle (unknown reason?) But you must run both f/r due to the pinion turns the ring gear opposite to the oem scx gears. No issues just have to swap the motor leads around. Over all I like them. Wouldn't buy them for all my rigs but if you have one you want to add some great looks to it I'd go with Currie over aluminum housings.

The skid plates on the curries I have lost/broke 4 of them. Buy extras

@RolandRockShop said he runs the Currie on the rear of a twin hammers. So the front is ifs, the rear is solid. Like the yeti.

I was considering doing one or the other but when I priced out the two I couldn't find any reason to buy the vp axle when it doesn't even come with hardware let alone all the extras you have to buy by the time you build everything up you could have just bought a currie which I prefer anyways


For the a fraction of the price I would have spent on curries and new links I got a g6 falken on holiday sale plus my code for like $80 off the normal price..
