VPS09014 VRD Mullet - Kit

The Vanquish Products VRD Mullet Kit is built on our competition level platform proven by its predecessors such as the VRD Carbon and VRD Stance. The VRD Mullet utilizes the lightweight Carbon Spec VFD Transmission and an industry first combination of a F10 Straight front axle and F10 Portal Rear axle. The mix of straight front axle and portal rear axle has been referred to as a mullet setup in the RC Crawling world for years but this is the first time a consumer can buy it in a complete kit version. VRD Mullet Kit is a highly competitive, predictable and versatile platform. Taking advantage of the lower center of gravity that a straight axle offers, you can steer the front exactly where you need it, then take advantage of the additional clearance the F10 Portal rear axle to ensure that a hang-up doesn't stop your progress.

The VRD Mullet Kit features the new S25 frame rails which are optimized for the unique combination of axles and provides an 6 degree angle flat skid plate. The molded chassis components and skid plate place the lightweight Carbon spec VFD transmission as low as possible into the VRD chassis. For the front F10 Straight axle is equipped with a servo on axle and 4-link.

Multiple shock and body mounting positions combined with minimalistic front/rear interchangeable bumpers make body mounting and fitment straight forward. Stamped aluminum rock sliders provide a flat location for electronics and/or battery mounting and are able to support and protect your body.

Drivetrain

The center of the VRD Mullet Kit is the Carbon spec VFD transmission. Equipped with a lightweight machined aluminum motor plate, aluminum motor plate standoffs, while omitting the cosmetic VFD tunnel for a high performance appearance. Internally the VFD is equipped with machined aluminum bearing plates and machined lightweight chromoly gears. Each internal gear has been re-designed to be as lightweight as possible dropping the weight of the overall transmission but maintaining a high level of durability. The T-Case has a built in 21% overdrive. 

The front F10 Straight axle has machined underdrive ring and pinion gears while the Rear F10 portal axle has the machined overdrive ring and pinion with overdrive portal gears, combined with the VFD overdrive the final overdrive percentage is 34%. 

Suspension

The VRD Mullet Kit includes the Incision S8E shocks with hard anodized shock bodies and multiple length tuning rod ends for a final length range of 85-95mm. Heavy duty stainless steel lower suspension links and lightweight upper links connect the chassis to the axles with the Incision Pro M4 rod ends. The rear lower links are bent for maximum breakover clearance. Multiple shock mounting locations and tunable shock length allow for a high range of ride height and breakover adjustment.
