Disc brakes from Vanquish Products have arrived! The guys at VP have been perfecting these for months now. And now we finally get to show off the fruits of their labor. These things are truly massive. No more of those crappy Chinese tiny rotors for us! The rotors measure 1.6" in diameter! The included mounts are made to bolt onto VP Wraith knuckles and lockouts. The pins you see are to adjust the caliper out to your wheel. The caliper goes into place between your wheel and hub. Due to the massive size, Vanquish cannot say these fit any other manufacturers wheels. They will fit all of VP's SLW and SSZ wheels though. |

Check out the detail! These small pressed in pins are just for the extra realism. Once you have set your offset, you just trim off the extra length of the shafts for a clean look. Or you can leave a little extra for when you want to change up your offsets. These kits will be finished soon and sold in pairs so those of us who run 4WS can get exactly what we need without having to buy extra. Colors and such have not been 100% set so wait for more details on that. Pricing will follow as we get closer to public release. |

Had to do a little Sharpie work while sitting here staring at them. I have to work late and it's going to be a long night not getting right home to install them! |

Never would have guessed a pair of these would be foreshadowed by another part! |
