Is there any sort of instructions so i can get an idea how it all goes together?

Written step by step instructions come in the package, along with part break down, and a assembly view.

I also got to play with one at AWCC, and really liked the way the shifter worked. It should dramatically improve reliability when shifting

I have ordered a silver one...They are available yes?

With people talking about servo plates for smaller servo's, VP could just make an adapter to suit the existing one making the best of both.

Silver is in stock.

Sorry VP for the off topic, but its annoying and seems disrespectful

Pics please....... I have a GC2 also, but mine doesn't fit.(I had to widen the chassis).

EDIT: moved my rear upper links...now it fits and works great, except I have a slight wobble in the rear driveshaft where it exits dig unit, is my set screw too tight?

Got my dig installed in my DNA SSS. Perfect fit and it sits low which is a big plus. So far I love it

Glad you're liking it

As an FYI for those running HH Cobalt Puller motors. They do not fit with the full size servo mount supplied with the dig unit. I just tried it and the motor hits the servo.

[tom@vp]

if you are having trouble getting this to fit in your setup, please send in a picture, or a couple showing the interference so we can work on fixes.

[HiloDB1]

Tom,

I just sent an email with the pics you asked for. If you need anything else please let me know.

Thanks

best dig ever!

Now we'll see how it holds up over time.

Excuse the newb question - but working on my end points for my dig - I am using a 2pos 3rd channel and want to know where I should but my end points too... Seems as if I set the servo to throw the lever all the way forward, and the dogs are not engaged, it takes quite a bit force until the lock into position... should it be fairly easy to turn the drive line by hand to lock in the dogs or should it be really tough to turn them by hand and once locked in, set the end point there? I have it set currently so it is easy enough to turn by hand and lock in... And the same for setting the rwd locked position.... Just don't want to damage the internals or the servo... Let me know if more information is needed.... I am using a JR Z590 servo for my dig...

Thanks!

you might be wanting an answer from VP, but I'll try to help.
I have the shifter set so it touches(barely) the dig housing when in 4wd, and rear lock. and obviously floating in the middle when rear freewheel(this doesn't apply to you with a 2 pos 3rd channel)

mine clicks loudly into 4wd and rear lock-takes some force(maybe a 1/4 revolution of tires?)by hand, but when actually driving doesn't seem bad at all. It'll bind for a second til cogs line up(I think).

make sure you're linkage is long enough. or re-center your servo horn if not getting enough "throw".

the internals, as long as your shifter is as far forward(for 4wd) and back(rear lock) as it can go, you will not be messing up the internals.

think I read your post right, if not, hopefully it can help somebody.

OK that helps actually... Going forward I can see that the motor will drive it enough to lock the dogs up properly allowing the lever to move the rest of the way forward.

And I would think, that you wouldn't want the back overly tight before the dogs line up because dragging the rear tires may not move it enough to lock up.

I have plenty of room to adjust that is for sure. Just want my end points set so the servo isn't in a constant working state and that the dogs will still engage properly. Being my first dig, I am a little gun shy on that part I guess.

Hopefully VP can chime in with what they think is the best setup as well.

Thanks again!

sounds like you got the idea, i dont think you can hurt the dig at all, spin the tires and slam in and out of gear.

Im running this dig setup on my AX-10. Flawless machine work and design, butter smooth shifting, compact and bombproof.

[Manning]

The Vanquish dig worked great at today's comp.

can't say that about the driver however.....
