Looks like the question I had about which trans to use in my VP Chassis Kit has been answered! |

Nice, yes please with od/ud transfer case gears. Top shaft offset to the side would lower cog even more and use high quality steel tubing for gear shafts. Most any transmission can be made to fit. |

Were the new guts of the VS4-10 chassis kit designed with this in mind?

Are plastic axles next? I appreciate VP's injected parts more than the CNCed ones. Amazing work!

The current layout allows you to use standard 32P spur gears (52, 54, 56, ect) and bolt patterns. The spur gear is the only weak link and can be found at any LHS because of this. Its the ideal place. Due to the width of the chassis rails and size of a standard 32P spur gear the topshaft is centered in the chassis. | |

Very exciting. I was already leaning towards getting the chassis kit for some project down the road but this makes it a must for me. Well done |

Now that you have teased, when will it be available? I have a nice VS4 frame kit just waiting to have one dropped in.

Well, I was going to save my VP Chassis Kit for a next winter build, BUT now I'm not sure I can wait! I think this trans paired with a set of TRX-4 axles with the chassis kit may be a winner! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

OK thanks, thought it might be something like that. Might also give more interior room too, tranny centered under center console. I like using parts that are easy to source. | |

If you guys could stop releasing stuff that would be great. My bank account needs a rest.
