This is the part I used originally, and find that it has too much slop side-to-side, so adding o-rings on either end of the ball insert may be helpful.ĭoes not explain that the spacer under the trans is optional. The correct part number is IRC00210, which is the plastic hollow ball on the parts tree. UPDATE 7/24: VP Support responded to my query about this saying that it is a misprint in the manual. Did anyone get metal balls for the shock tops? Or the instructions are wrong and actually want to you use the plastic ball off the shock parts tree. On, the 4 metal ball inserts (IRC00010) for the top of the shocks are missing. I was able to press one bearing in by hand, the other require use of a bench vice. Notably these retainers are tight on the bearings, where the first 4 were not. UPDATE 7/17: Received the new bearing retainers the next day! The assembly now drops into the front housing freely, even more clearance than the rear assembly has in the rear housing. UPDATE #2 7/16: VP Support sent me a tracking number for new bearing retainers. I've attached a couple of the pictures I took for them. UPDATE 7/16: Heard back from VP Support first thing Monday morning requesting pictures of the issue. Anyone else seen this before (on this or any vanquish axle)? Vanquish service contacted, will update with response. So it seems like one set of bearing carriers AND the front axle housing are out of tolerance. I built the rear assemble and it will fit into the rear axle housing, but not into the front axle housing. It also won't slide into the rear axle housing. My ring/spool/bearing/carrier assembly won't slide into the front axle housing. Wish my backordered Q-series lights would ship. Looks good enough that I don't care that it isn't a licensed replica. Really like the light buckets and other scale details. Wish the body post holes weren't pre-drilled. Overspray film is much more tough than others I've worked with, so a bit more challenging to cut/tear precisely. The narrow tire/rounded shoulder look isn't what I was going for on this build, but I suspect it will perform well and I'll be running these on a different vehicle.īody: Feels tough, but still flexible enough. Note that my choice to run the Pitbull Rock Beast XLs is purely asthetic. The foams are correctly sized for these tires, which means they are too narrow for most tires this diameter. The included foams are very firm open-cell, so more what I would use for trail running then crawling typically, although the tires are so sticky the combo may be great for crawling too, will have to try it and see. The tires are narrow, so standard CI foams would need to me narrowed to fit properly. Tires/Foams: Super sticky! They feel more sticky grippy than the Pitbull Alien-compound tires I'm going to install on this vehicle. Keep that in mind for what follows below. That said, I also had high expectations, and maybe that set me up to be a little overly critical. I've built 50ish kits from all different manufacturers over the last 30 years. Here's the end result, for those who don't want to read to page 5. I don't normally do build threads (and this isn't one), but I ran into a couple issues and haven't found anybody talking about it, so thought I'd start a thread for discussion. My VS4-10 arrived Friday (Amain preorder) and I got to building on Saturday.
