Chassis-mounted steering servo conversion

Vanquish Products VRD Carbon Kit · VPS09015

This kit moves the steering servo onto the chassis and adds the matching panhard and steering links, giving the front axle a more scale-like layout. It provides a winch mounting position, but it cannot be combined with the stubby conversion and is not a supplied winch or a guarantee of competition eligibility.

Mechanical kit option for VPS09015. Select suitable servo and horn geometry and use the supplied instructions; this is not a complete installation guide.

Installation notes

  • Kit inventory lists the machined aluminum panhard mount, 82.5 mm panhard and drag link, pivot balls, rod ends, hardware and an instruction sheet.
  • The exact manufacturer product names VPS09015 VRD Carbon; no extension to other VRD or VS4-10 editions is claimed.
  • Retain or separately supply a suitable steering servo and horn. A winch mount location does not include a winch, winch controller or an additional radio channel.
  • Maker references SORRCA Class 2 CMS points. This is recorded as its product claim only, not checked against current competition rules and not a vehicle class-eligibility promise.
  • VPS10401 CMS and VPS10402 Stubby are mutually exclusive choices. This reference identifies the listed mechanical kit; it does not establish a measured handling benefit.
  • Use the instruction sheet supplied in the kit for assembly. The maker does not publish a specific required servo SKU or horn offset on the product page. Servo choice remains a setup requirement, not evidence that the offered kit lacks applicability.
