Ty I love both your products and your videos!!! Continue building great products (the only electronics I'll buy) and find more kits to build for RUclips, you have the best format! Wish the supply shortage would end! I've been in RC since the 80s. Still building and racing off-road 2 and 4wd plus crawlers and no prep. Continue with the RUclips, great advertising for a great brand!!!
Having come from offroad, not how I bleed an emulsion shock but I will have to try your technique! Build is looking great, that transmission reminds me of the old Tamiya Bruiser setup, very complicated so, interested to see how it holds up. Looking forward to Part 3! 👍
@@davew1285 There's a 'solution' for the shock collars...the Gmade RSD Shock Spring Nut (GMA0020080) is a perfect fit for the Phoenix shocks. As for the machined gears, since I plan on (eventually, for another project) ordering the standard VFD transmission, I ordered the machined gears for that, as the first two gears are the same in both. I'll use the first two from the 'standard' set, holding onto the remaining gears, for when I get the VFD. Then, when the VFD-Twin sweet is released, I won't have to disassemble the entire trans to install them...only the T-case. Then, I'll just add the first two gears from the 'Twin' set to the unused gears from the 'standard' set, and that set will be ready for the VFD.

Definitely liked your shock building technique for the Phoenix shocks with bleeder screws. Thanks Ty!
Thanks Bill! I've built my race shocks the same way, I definitely prefer to build them dead with no rebound so the spring does all the work.

Great Job! I can tell a lot of time went into making this. Awesome work!
Yeah super cool, and by spring time I’m hoping to have one appreciate you sharing
Looks like Vanquish is working with Axial for those driveshafts.
I like the driveshafts, use them on all my builds. They are light and strong.
What plant did you use to paint the fuel cell? Thing looks great
When is part 3 dropping?
I love you video men...thanks
Good job! And great truck! Was there ever a part 3? Can't seem to find it... thanks :)
It's coming!
@@TekinRacing Nice! :)
Josh already confirmed that a machined gear set for the VFD- is in the "final stages".
Oh I know, I shot this about 2 months ago.
Thats great. The gears and the shock collars are what is stopping this from being a 9/10 kit.

Do you have a list of the option parts used? Example - Fuel cell cover?
The link to the blog has parts used and the fuel cell cover is stock, just painted.
I got it together and driveshafts spin until u hold them. It shifting as it should. Any idea what I missed?
Shift dogs not staying engaged? Sounds like you need to open it back up and check everything.
Thanks for the reply! I did had a pin slide out on me on the larger gear!
when is part 3 dropping
Could you tell me if this transmission fit a vaterra ascender
Definitely not without modification. The VS4-10 chassis and skid plate were designed for the VFD series transmissions.
Question are all the gears in the transmission metal besides the spur
They are all sintered, machined optional gears are coming!
That motor is 540 or 550?
540 size, the HD are just barely too long and are honestly more power than needed and also heavier.
Its that combo waterproof?
Water resistant, yes.
@@TekinRacing the 20mm servo horn ,included in the peonix box or seperate buy?
@@papazola5300 all the horns are separate from Vanquish.
mine built with same electronic. really disappointed with t144 speed . at 7.4v.
The T-440 is not a speed servo. It is still plenty fast on HV though for crawling applications.
