About the VS4-10 Phoenix Portal RTR Crawler
Advanced Electronics
The VS4-10 Phoenix is equipped with an impressive electronics package tailored for performance and expandability. At its core is the 35T VM-1 Brushed Motor, optimized to deliver strong torque for technical crawling while retaining enough wheel speed for trail driving. Power is managed by the 3S-capable VE-1 ESC, based on the proven Hobbywing 1060 platform, and factory-tuned with adjustable drag brake and LiPo cutoff settings. The VS-1 metal gear servo offers two hundred ounces per inch of torque and is water-resistant, ensuring reliable steering under tough conditions. Control is provided by the VT-1 Digital Four-Channel Transmitter, which includes model memory, multi-position switches, endpoint adjustments, and supports add-ons like a winch or dig unit for even more capability.
Rugged Body & Scale Details
The Phoenix features a bold pre-painted body with a VRD1 rear cage, painted cab and bedsides, and a three-piece design with scale details like molded grill, headlight and tail light buckets, and hidden body clips. A hinged mounting system with a quick-release front pivot pin makes body access simple and clean. The molded rock sliders and high-clearance bumpers not only look great but improve approach and departure angles for serious crawling. Underneath, the 1.9 Falken Wildpeak M/T tires provide excellent grip in a variety of terrain, while the Incision KMC KM237 Hex Beadlock wheels offer scale realism and secure tire mounting for consistent performance.
Transmission & Suspension
At the heart of the Phoenix's drivetrain is the VFD Spec transmission, which includes 6.5% overdrive for better climbing and tighter turns. It places the motor low and forward for ideal weight balance and is built with wide metal gears for long-lasting strength. The molded F10 Portal Axles include chromoly universal axle shafts with forty-nine degrees of steering, brass reinforcement tubes for added strength and low center-of-gravity weight, and machined gears throughout. The ISD10 driveshafts connect the system with machined CV joints and molded splined shafts for smooth articulation. The eighty-millimeter S8E shocks with dual O-ring cartridges and sealed upper bleeder screws provide consistent dampening, while the stainless steel suspension links and machined aluminum panhard mount ensure trail-ready durability.
