Vanquish Products Currie F9 and Rockjock Axles and Accessories Part 2

We continue on with the review of the Vanquish Products Currie F9 and Rockjock Axles and Accessories. 

Vanquish has recently released the Currie F9 Axle for the Axial SCX10.

Pictured above is the Front Currie F9 Axle for the SCX10.  The axle comes in three colors: Black VPS07830 (pictured above), Silver VPS07831, and Grey VPS07832.  The F9 front axle set does not come with a servo mount.  Vanquish has a few different servo mount options for the F9 axle.

First pictured above is the Axle Servo Mount.  This mount is available in a few colors: Silver VPS04450, Black VPS04451 (pictured above), and Grey VPS04455.
 


The next two options are the most common servo mounts used.  They are the chassis mounted servo or CMS.  The CMS mounts keeps the servo hidden and gives the axle a more authentic look.

For the people running the Jeep bodies on their vehicles, they would use the CMS mount pictured above.  The CMS mount is available in two colors: Black VPS06881 (pictured above) and Silver VPS06882.

For the people running the 12.3 length chassis, they would use the CMS mount pictured above.  The CMS mount is also available in two colors: Black VPS07331 (pictured above) and Silver VPS07330.


The F9 axles also require a special Tie Rod and Drag Link Kitt.

Pictured above is the Titanium Tie Rod/Drag Link SCX10 Kit VPS06739.


Next is the Rear Currie F9 Axle.

The Rear Currie F9 Axle is available in three colors: Black VPS07840, Silver VPS07841 (pictured above), and Grey VPS07842.

When using the F9 axles, they require a special link set.  The stock link set does not fit the Currie F9 axles.

 

Picture above is the Currie F9 Link Kit VPS07860.

While we are on the axles for the Axial SCX10, here are the Rockjock Currie axles.

Pictured above are the Front Currie Rockjock Axles.  They are available in three colors: Black VPS06601 (pictured above), Grey VPS06603, and Silver VPS06605.  

The Rockjock axles comes with the servo mount unlike the F9 axles.  The servo mount sits on top of the servo.  To hide the servo, the Chassis Mounted Servo Kit is required as discussed earlier in this article.    

The Rockjock axles also require the same Titanium Tie Rod /Drag Link Kit as discussed earlier too.

Pictured above are the Rear Currie Rockjock Axles for the SCX10.  They are available in three colors: Black VPS06602 (pictured above), Grey VPS06604, and Silver VPS06606.

Vanquish Products Currie F9 and Rockjock Axles and Accessories

Today we are reviewing the Vanquish Products Currie F9 and Rockjock Axles for the Axial line-up of vehicles.  Both the F9 and the Rockjock axles are made from CNC aluminum and are made in the USA.  The quality of the products are top notch. 

Recently Vanquish has released the Currie F9 Axles.  The F9 axles have a different look compared to the Rockjock axle.  We will be showing pictures of both axles.

Picture above is the Currie F9 AR60 front axle for the Axial Wraith/Bomber.  The axle is available in two colors: Black VPS07940 (Pictured) and Silver VPS07941.

There is also a servo mount for the front Currie F9 AR60 axle sold separately.  (See picture below)

The AR60 Servo Mount is available in two colors: Black VPS07970 and Silver VPS07971.  The servo mount is made to sit on top of the axle.  If people are using the Chassis Mounted Servo Kit (VPS03260), then the servo mount is not needed.

The rear Currie F9 AR60 axle (pictured above) is also available in Black VPS07950 and Silver VPS07951.

Vanquish has also released the Currie Rockjock 70 Axle with the XR10 Width for the SCX10.  They came out with the axle in the XR10 width because the extra width gives a better scale look with certain bodies.  The axles length is in between the SCX10 and the Wraith.

The Currie Rockjock 70 axle is available three colors.  For the Front axle: Black (pictured above) VPS07560, Grey VPS07562, and Silver VPS07564.  The front axle requires two extra parts.  The Axial XR10 Front Universal Set (AX30563) and the Vanquish XR10 Width Tie Rod (VPS07930) pictured below.

The rear Currie Rockjock 70 axle colors are: Black VPS07561, Grey VPS07563, and Silver (pictured above) VPS7565.

Vanquish Products and Incision by Vanquish Parts for the Axial Wraith

The Incision VDI's (IRC00020) are anodized black and provide more steering angles then the stock dog bones or CVD's from Axial. The parts can be upgraded to the Vanquish VVD's if they wear out, since the parts are the same size. The VDI's MSRP at $39.95.
