We're there any mods done, especially to the skid...and, if so, what mods were done? Asking because Boldfin (you can read his thread) had several problems bring the same chassis, skid, transmission & axles to work together, without rubbing problems. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

Actually I had zero mods to do to the skid, only thing I had to do was move the top 3 link mount on the axle and move the link to the out side with a spacer, other than that nothin crazy, just proper set up is all

Yeah I'd be curious to hear what you did as well. I relayed Boldfins experience to my brother who was asking about doing a similar build so if it is possible I'd be curious to know what might have made it work. Could part of it be the slightly smaller Junfac driveshafts I wonder? EDIT: I see you already answered the question before i posted, thanks. | |

Good looking build! Nice to see it all came together well! I too have been thinking about adding the TRX-4 axles under my spare VP chassis with a VFD. I’ll be following along taking notes! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

| Re: Successful vfd trans use with trx axles in a vs410 frame I literally needed no mods at all and actually had a axial wild boar drive shaft up there for a minute, not talking trash by any means I just don’t think mr bowfin had his Panhard set up correctly, like had stated the only thing I needed to do was move the upper link over a smidge other than that no hassle |

Regarding the upper link, looks like you used a ball end? Since you had to use a longer screw (looks like it might be too long, though you could probably attach a locknut to 'cover' the end of the screw), is it still 'solid', or is there any (no matter how minor) movement? Obviously, the further out the link is from the link mount, the greater the possibility of the screw not being "solidly mounted", leading to possible movement. I'd also worry that, over time, it could lead to "loosening up"...tho, then again, considering the axle is machined, instead of plastic (it is machined, correct?), it might already be "solid", and might remain that way. Please, let me know how "solid" (or not "solid") the front link 'modified' mount is...if it's completely "solid", you might have solved my chassis "problem" for a bike I'm considering. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

It is solid, this was an old pic I had it like that for more of a Mach up I actually went to a longer screw yet and went threw both sides as well as put a ball end in the original place for strength, and absolutely no movement

I am glad to see someone figured out how to make this work. I did use two different panhard rods - both of which were specifically-designed for running TRX-4 axles under a VS4-10 chassis. Personally, I think the fact that I was using extended shock towers may have been the cause of my clearance issues. Seems like everyone else is sticking with the standard-height shock towers. I just wanted to keep the ride height low, and still be able to use 90mm shocks. I guess that was my downfall. That may have been why Vanquish decided to use 80mm shocks on the VS4-10 Ultra. I also was using Incision driveshafts, which I really like, and wasn't about to replace. The Junfac driveshafts definitely provide much more clearance for the VFD trans skid. Nice solution. Hope it crawls well for you.

Nice! Good to see a workaround to get this combo to play nicely.

I guess the TRX4 axles are back on the table for this setup!
