You can buy two sets of axial unis for about the same price as on set of vanquish. I personally like the axial units, and find them to be quiet strong.

VP is great i have plenty of money spent with them and yes the customer service it topnotch. harleys BP thread uses the axial ones and just wanted to know if the VPs are stronger. i don't care about the price just want a strong ass rig.

Yes the vvd's are stronger. Plus if you break 1 they will most likely warranty it. If not, then you can buy just the broken piece unlike if you have axial uni's, then you'd have to buy a whole new pair. I broke 2 uni's with a brushed integy motor. I have yet to break a vvd and I've been beating on mine for over a year on 3 and 4s with a pro4. So anyways... Vp vvd's for the win.

If you want something in between the RC4WD VVD's are just like the Vanquish ones only black and half the cost, I broke 2 sets of Axial CV's in 3 runs, the RC4WD's are running strong. Im not a Vanquish hater I have plenty of it on my rig and I tried the Vanquish VVD's but they didn't fit, they were too long and needed to cut them down with a dremmel to shorten them and grind the flats longer.

I broke a vvd. The parts to fix it are the same as just buying a pair of axial uni's. I have not broken a uni yet. Guess what I run in all my solid axle rigs.

Anything can and will break. A simple call to vanquish and i bet they would have sent you the parts for free. Their warranty service is killer.

Don't get me wrong I think the Vanquish VVD's are a top quality piece, I think if you break a Vanquish VVD there is most likely nothing out there you wont break unless it's something custom, I just ended up with 2 sets that didn't fit, they actually called me today and said that there were some sets that were packaged incorrectly. The 1st set I bought I got from RPP when I bought the original VVD's, the second set of replacement shafts I got directly from Vanquish, they were too long also, hopefully they have it sorted out.

The Axial shafts I broke I believe broke from falls bashing, not power related, they both snapped off at the cup, I suspect it was from falling and landing on the front wheel, like I did this last weekend and bent a rear shaft.

I don't need a warranty with axial shafts so far.

I ran Axial universals for almost a year with the Pro4 3300 mostly on 4s....and a little bit of 3s. They held up great.....BUT......I've snapped 3 of them recently. All breaks were the front short axle. They snapped at the yoke. I think the Axial is using cheaper steel or something. I just can't get them to hold up anymore!!
I did call axial though, and they sent me two full replacement sets( even though i only asked for the short ones)


I may try Vanquish if i have one more breakage.
