Hey there Brandon thanks again for the pictures yesterday. Are the light bar supports are they the JK ones for the Axial body?

Also is there a specific length servo arm that works best on the VS4? I know that it difficult to say with all the different servos out but was curious if one seems to be the best. Trying to get things figured out on what to order when available.

Thank you for your help

I thought I read somewhere that someone used one and didn't work out that good and switched to another one that did work.

Got one on my vs4-10 right now. The pro will be the same.

20mm is ideal, as you mentioned with how servos vary there can always be some issue though. It's amazing to see how different 1/10 servos can be when you line them all up.

Yes, those are the JK mounts and a 6" lightbar

I've been following this on FB and getting excited. Just read all 15 pages of this. I have an Origin and 2 chassis kits. I'll be needing a couple of these VFD's and the half cab bodies!

Brad Perry posted this photo this morning. Give you a good idea of the additional approach angle and clearance with the new molded bumper. We designed it to tuck in as far as possible and still look scale.

Plastic sliders are also shown in this pic and you can see how smooth they are underneath all the way out to the edge.

We also posted a quick studio video on FB. Not sure if I can link a video from FB into the forum?

Molded bumpers for the VS4-10, how long I've waited. Awesome to see this...

It really drives well with them, especially on the overly grippy rock we have around here. As much as I loved the style of the Origin Limited bumpers, you always knew they were there.

That's great to hear. Looks like much better approach angles and I like that the fairlead is molded in there as well.

I really wanted to love the alum bumpers on my VS4-10, but just couldn't get passed them being giant rock magnets!

Looking forward to picking up the Pro! It should/will be an outstanding performer!

Getting tired of seeing photos? Hope not... This one is by far my favorite that Brad Perry shot.

We were near Tahoe with lots of snow still in the back ground. He nailed it.

Something that typically goes unnoticed with most kits is the difficulty of getting a scale shot when you can see directly through the body/chassis. VS4-10 PRO kits includes chassis braces and wheel wells that do an excellent job of adding to the scale realism from any angle.

This pic is my favorite also! Brad Perry takes some amazing pics! I’ve been following him for awhile on FB and has been posting some really great shots of the original VS4-10.

That's a bad ass photos!

Do you Vanquish guys agree that plastic bumpers and sliders slide easier on rocks than aluminum?

Are all the links the same as the original vs4-10? I assume they would be.

Oh Geez...now you're just being cruel.

Stunning, simply stunning...

edit: it looks as if Xray is doing their plastic, looks and feels just like it.

might be different due to revised skid on the VFD, but don't take my word for it...
