Default Vanquish Products VFD Transmission Kit Pre-Order

ETA 9-25, not cheap - but not as pricey as I was worried about, either!

The Pro kit looks even more like a deal after this IMO.

It’s supposed to have the same overdrive as the pro kit as well.

I’ve ordered mine barebones. No metal bearing plates, motor plates, rods, or machined gears at $109.00.

All those add up about $125.00 extra.
Skid is included but the different batt and side plates are also needed for the Origin conversion $25.00 more.
The bummer is no digs around now......Harley also dropped an assembly video

Hmmm sintered gears, plastic parts replacing metal parts, smells more like an Incision VFD tranny.

A "Pro spec" build would cost $241.95, that does make the Pro kit a more enticing option. Maybe parting one out to get at the tranny isn't such a bad idea.

Have they mentioned when the optional gear sets might be available?

Overdrive gears.

Seems to me like they could have hit near the $200 mark if it came "pro" spec rather than starting low and adding upgrades, but now (to get to pro spec) you need to replace things you've already purchased. Oh well, it seems like the kit is definitely the way to go for RC snobs like me
