Vanquish VS4-10 Origin Limited Build/Thoughts Issues

[MSH]

you should align the dig link better.

that link at an angle may be adding a little twist to the shift arm.

can you shim your servo out a bit so your linkage is parallel with chassis centerline?

That is the Vanquish 20mm arm.

There is no room, the servo arm barely misses the frame rail as it is.

I have not found a way to do that.

Cool video! I'm thinking I may need to add the DIG to mine.

you may be able to find a clevis type connector for large scale airplanes that you could use to straighten out the link for your dig.

I was finally able to get Q-Pods (A-Main cancelled my backorder, but Vanquish had them available on their website). This things are crazy bright!

If it's clear parts, paint them then sand/scrape the paint off the raised edges. Then paint the raised parts with translucent paint or ink (sharpies).

Good video showing the technique:

Hey, rohrej: great build. I'm considering using a VS4-10 body on my first project: getting a lot of inspiration from this. How did you cover the body holes so nicely? Can't even tell they were ever there. Seems like most just leave the body posts and clips, but dang they drive me nuts and the clear bodies come predrilled :( And what did you use to mount, ring magnets? velcro? Sorry if these questions are too newb'ish!!!

Swap the arm end link to the outside
