PROJECT "OVERKILL 2020" (PT4) AXLE CHOICE - Vanquish F9 Currie ALL-METAL PORTALS | RC ADVENTURES

I had little doubt in my mind of which axles would be the most appropriate for the project this entire time - and I really appreciate everyones input on which axle they thought I should use. The setup is extremely expensive, and very Overkill.. which is in the right theme of my Ultimate Tough Truck Build. I have a long way to go in this build still.. but the axle decision is fundamental and paramount to the direction of a build. The Vanquish Products, Licensed Currie Portal Axles are the top of the top in price point during the time of this filming - but what king of innovation does it bring to the table? Well, they are light-weight, the front steering axle has somewhat adjustable Toe in/out on the steering throw as well as i absolutely LOVE how the steering C-Hubs are mounted to the axle. The replaceable, threaded insert is pure genius. This will eliminate the terrible day on the trail where in times past.. your day was ended early by a stripped out c-hub screw. I also like the helical cut gears for the pinion and spool gear. In regards to the steering.. the Dual Steering Link Horn is nice on the spindles as well as the Back axle can mount Dual shocks.. .. So all in all.. VERY OVERKILL!
Vanquish Products say that their front axle has the following features:
Features:
Portal box built into the included knuckle with bolt on high steer arm for double shear mounting
Gear reduction in the portal of 1.67:1 (18/30), Optional Overdrive Ratio of 1.4:1 (20/28) recommended for use in front axle only.
Included Vanquish AR44 machined gear set
Overall axle reduction of 6.26:1 with stock portal ratio
13mm increase in ground clearance
Specifically design offset C-hubs is machined into the housing for strength, durability, clearance and scale appearance
Hex to hex width of 7.66 inches, only roughly 5mm wider than a stock AR44 axle with a narrow hex
Replaceable Chromoly threaded inserts used at knuckle and C-hub to ensure a stripped thread doesn't ruin your investment
Brass knuckle bushing from the AR60 axles are used in place of SCX10-II sized for more durability.
Chromoly AR60 size VVD axle shafts come preassembled
Chromoly stub shafts with 6mm design at the drive pin which tapers down to a 5mm thread for ultimate strength
Chromoly spool
Aluminum 12mm hex with set screw
Compatible with stock SCX10-II Chassis mounted servo or F9 Servo on axle mount
Uses all SCX10-II linkage
Adjustable steering stop integrated into knuckle
Complete Fast Eddy Bearings kit
Licensed by Currie Enterprises
Comes with One Piece Bearing Retainers (Patent Pending)
Double shear shock mounts
Integrated Panhard mount
Upper link mounts built into third member
Increased upper link clearance for more suspension up travel ability
The Vanquish Currie Portal F9 SCX10 II Front Axle Kit is an all inclusive axle assembly that creates extreme amounts of ground clearance under the center of your axle. By increasing the pumpkin clearance by 1/2"+ (13mm), it creates the equivalent of running a tire that is over 1 inch taller than what is on your rig. But the real advantage of the Vanquish Currie F9 Portals is the gear reduction inside the portal (1.67:1), that can be tuned with optional gear sets (1.4:1 Overdrive - VPS08353). By adding reduction at the portal, less torque is transferred through the other upstream components in the drivetrain.

[@bkorules]

I literally just got done watching the original ending and was going to point that out

[@GrimReaper-sl9zo]

[@willgerdesrc3687]

👍

[@MRGAMER-qm3qh]

Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@terrykuehn2686]

Hey Medic, I like it when you do the build outs! I just bought a TRX Blazer it came all assembled but it's nice to see the portal axles general system works for future upgrades I'm sure to do!😉

[@bellyisis]

Still watching! The process, “that’s what she said” wiggle & push it in 🤣

[@rodneywitkos8576]

I love the in depth tutorials cause it’s nice to have a reference to folow along if I have a problem building

[@ericcolorado746]

I always watch all the way through, really enjoy the tutorials, thanks.

[@loganwendel3032]

Even though I'd never be able to afford those axles, I LOVE watching you build these kinds of things in depth!

[@adamtebben9512]

I love when you build stuff and I don’t skip them ever. Love building!

[@davidrainey968]

new respect for engineers that came up with the design and machines that can mill / produce all those parts to such tolerances.

[@krazy4baja]

Always like tutorial builds. It helps out a lot if I get stuck on reading or looking at instructions that aren’t quite clear on discriminations or pictures. Amazing axles they look great and very durable

[@rcdoebbora8086]

Thank you for sharing

[@kenswan1725]

yep, sure do like watching the full builds because it is a good learning event

[@seanhodges7838]

Hello from wales ,first off what a great channel with some fantastic builds ,some time back I became too poorly to work and I started to deteriorate mentally which showed up as a lack of interest in life at this point my family suggested I got back into some of the hobby’s I used to love which was rc cars , got on utube and found you’re channel where I watched with absolute amazement when you showed you and you’re mates rc crawling ,boom ! Got enough money to buy a second hand axial 10 mk 2 built a small crawling track in my back garden and totally fell in love with the truck and the hobby again.I too have a wonderful wife and three fantastic (grown up ) kids but where I do envy you is you’re mates ,I brought an axial after watching you boys driving them which turned out to be an awesome buy ,nothing has broken which is what makes the kit so good as money is not readily available.So this is the bit where is thank you to you and you’re mates for the help ,god bless and I hope you get better soon

[@willgerdesrc3687]

Glad you were able to catch your oops. I've done the same thing before and went to install it only to discover that I had it flipped. Great video

[@isaacfox7036]

I like seeing you put the whole thing together

[@jakesingles8327]

Really enjoy watching you out this stuff together, let’s us all see the products strong spots, or if something breaks on our own rigs we can watch how to pull it apart and put it back together the right way

[@ronhughley6510]

Still watching . Love seeing the detail. An extra footage.

[@TheHusk]

Still watching. Building my first grand hauler and still new to hobby so love watching build videos

[@itchyprince3793]

These videos are a great help for if I were to build a truck like this. But for now, it’s a great way to pass the time in this long cold winter.

[@trevorconklin2869]

Still watching and I appreciate your in depth building.

[@joshkboy1333]

I personally like seeing the the longer build videos instead of just jumping from one part to another

[@dillonbesky6196]

I love seeing the time you put in, building is like a big plus because we get to hear stuff like the mittens thing

[@LWKonge]

Your videos inspired my son and I to get into RC trucks. We bought our first RedCat gen7 a few weeks ago and have been ripping ever since.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I'm still watching and I enjoy the builds the most.

[@brianargo9306]

It's badass how them Axel's r manufactured just like a full size vehicle. That's why they're in such a high demand.

[@tommypowers9695]

Still watchin and I like it when u show the step by steps of ur builds. I have been thinkin about gettin back into the rc hobbies again. I use to do the rc world when I was younger. Keep up with the great videos and inspiration.

[@sandrailboy4210]

I like the choice of axles keep driving RC's

[@glennmiller1635]

That’s why it’s called Project Overkill. Go big or go home. Vanquish products are expensive, but they are a good quality product.

[@andrewsimmons9056]

thanks for the in-dept video of how the parts are built properly i love them THANKS

[@Docdug]

Definitely worth the cost, and the fun of assembling them! Cheers Doc

[@chrisfigiel9547]

Still watching. I enjoy the how toos. Thank you

[@10219266]

I like watching builds on the channel it feels more involved!

[@rubysnowwolfgamingandmusic7417]

Omg i just realized i watched u guys over 4 years ago you guys got me into building rc trucks and cars 💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@martyparsons8395]

I'm actually glad this isn't for kids, I really do enjoy it. Great vid

[@MrCubflyer]

Vanquish is I think the best stuff I use them on all my builds. The Vanquish Method bead lockers are really nice.

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Yep still watching I'm liking it👍😎🇺🇲

[@kwarcinski87]

Still watching the build, enjoy each part of it.

[@zachsims444]

Bitch mittens 😂 I love it! Great content! Love watching the detailed build videos.

[@smokeyrc9070]

Love watching you put stuff together and seeing the innovation in the products

[@alholland6510]

Definitely keep the details Medic. A lot of the information is cross platform ..... don’t put stuff upside down .... use the right bearings.... don’t forget the lube.... these things apply to lots of builds and are super helpful to beginners. Keep up the great builds !! Cheers

[@ThyWillRot]

I already own these axles and still sat and watched you throw them together just to see what other people think about them. They are a pretty incredible product, not quite as light when you get them together but still way lighter than a trx4 aluminum axle.

[@satchmotionrc8202]

11 mins. Still watching. Love the step by step. Great video so far.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jerrodarndt4012]

[@FrenchCoops]

For sure here for the build! Big fan of the step by step

[@taco7423]

I like what Vanquish does, its a premium product for a premium price witch is perfectly fine for me. There's plenty other choices to choose from and at every prices, Vanquish simply decided to be at the top!

[@scotstubbie]

[@averyanderson6945]

If it makes u happy to see that u have name brand really expensive heavy duty axels then it’s worth the smile

[@thespeedysquid6700]

For those who dislike this video how could you it is about Rc fun how could you dislike that

[@deadchicken-coopless]

I love it when you show me the whole assembly. That's the best part! KZbin is from my point of view something like video Wikipedia. And there I want to see everything in detail to understand it! Thank you for taking the time and producing such good videos!

[@wyattprothro7443]

Still watching and enjoying it

[@mikey6918]

I would like to see an independent rear suspension. Very nice axles, too bad they cost so much. I enjoy watching you build them.

[@clintondahlstedt837]

I love the in depth building honestly and yes paying the money for name brand stuff is worth it to me I just bought the new trail walker and put name brand stuff on it and took it out the other day and it took a nice tumble and kept on rolling because I put name brand upgrades on it
