Adding to the capability is the included full function digital 4-Channel VT-1 Transmitter. With multiple model memory and end point adjustment, this transmitter allows the VS4-10 Phoenix RTR to be equipped with an optional fully functioning front Dig and selectable Over Drive giving you next level crawling performance.

With full ball bearings throughout, metal transmission gears and 32P spur/pinion gears the drivetrain provides smooth and reliable performance when tackling the toughest terrain.

The VFD Twin incorporates Selectable Overdrive Shifting and 3-position dig readiness (servos not included) into one compact package. The molded F10 Straight Axles utilize a high clearance design to minimize the size of the pumpkin and maximize clearance around the C-hub and knuckle area. Connecting the VFD Twin to the F10 axles are the ISD10 driveshafts. The ISD10 driveshafts have machined CV Joint style joints at each end with molded splined shafts between them for smooth, quiet, and efficient performance. The large 8mm bore S8E shocks include a dual X-Ring cartridge and scale threaded caps with a sealed upper bleeder screw. S8E preload adjustment is a breeze with threaded shock bodies and collars. Overall this truck is absolutely packed with premium features and is one of the most equipped RTR crawlers available.
