Engineered for the Trail and the Podium

At its core, the VRD Carbon Kit features Vanquish's all-new Lightweight Spec VFD Transmission, optimized for minimal weight and maximum strength. It includes machined aluminum internals and bearing plates, dropping grams without compromising durability. The transmission’s 21% T-case overdrive, combined with the overdriven front F10 portal axle, gives you a competitive edge with a total final overdrive of 37%.

The F10 axles Vanquish’s heaviest spec yet include internal brass weight tubes and front alloy knuckle covers, pushing weight low and forward for superior stability and crawl capability.

Chassis & Suspension

The VRD Carbon chassis is ultra-rigid, featherlight, and fully tunable. You get multiple body and shock mounting points, minimalistic front/rear bumpers, and flat rock sliders designed to double as mounting platforms for electronics or batteries.

Suspension is handled by Incision S8E hard anodized shocks, stainless steel lower links, and bent rear links for better breakover angles. With multiple shock positions and adjustable lengths, this kit adapts to any terrain or comp class.
