The new Vs4-10 Phoenix portal

[josh9mile]

Those of you that have already gotten your kit, does it come with servo horns for the dig and OD servos? It doesn't say anywhere if it does or not.

SBG just released a build highlight video today. He states the length you need in there, can't recall what it was off the top of my head though.

Nice, mines on order but gonna take a little while to get here in the UK...
Cant wait to see some builds!

Impulse ordered mine the other night. Should be here by end of week.

I already have a straight axle VS4-10 chassis build going so I'm going to Rob the electronics off that and throw the straight axles under my 10.3.

I'm not a huge fan of the body so I'm keeping my J20 body for it.

It will only sting for a second, then a smile will take over!

FYI, just picked these servos up off Amazon for the dig and overdrive duties. 31 for 2, 25KG metal gear, have good ratings etc. They came with aluminum clamping arms and an assortment of plastic ones as well. Measures out to the 24mm required on the Al ones.

Have the Holmes 500 HV coming for steering duty, RPP has that and the 800 on sale right now. Holmes has them on his site for even cheaper, too late for me as my order shipped but if anyone is looking.

I use the Holmes servo on my Pro, I like not having to use a BEC and still have a lot of power for 10th scale servo. Am going to use one in my Phoenix build.

So, it doesn't require an external bec, a esc such as a rx4 with built in bec will do fine. I've been out of the game for awhile, trying to get caught up on the latest innovations.

Best 1.55 tires? Looking to take advantage of the portals and add back some challenge.
Also not too psyched about so much offset, any good 0 to neg offset 1.55s out there?

You power the Holmes HV servos off the battery. So it doesn't use the BEC. There are to leads, one to the RX for the signal and another to the battery. This will be my first one, however yhey have great reviews and I've never had a bad Holmes product.

Not sure a negative offset 1.55 will clear the portals. I'll check when I get mine but something to consider.

Bummed. I got a rear shaft and a front shaft in my rear axle bag…

Meh. We all know they’ll make it right, it’s just a bummer for the delay.
