The VS4-10 Fordyce RTR is a truck that draws inspiration from a retro aesthetic while maintaining the robust durability that Vanquish Products is renowned for. It features the VFD Spec transmission, F10 Straight Axles, and the Fordyce body complete with bedsides. Additionally, it comes bundled with a full-featured digital 4 Channel VT-1 Transmitter, featuring multiple model memory and endpoint adjustment. This allows the VS4-10 Fordyce RTR to easily accommodate optional radio-controlled accessories like a winch, light controller, or dig setup. Straight out of the box, the VFD Spec transmission boasts a 6.5% Overdrive (OD) configuration, powered by a 35T VM-1 Motor and a VE-1 3S-capable ESC.

The Fordyce's suspension incorporates high-quality stainless steel links, with larger diameter lower links adding extra mass down low and a high clearance front tie rod that eliminates the bends from the link, lending it a true-to-life appearance. The F10 straight axles come with a one-piece ring gear and spool coupled with machined pinion gears. To ensure a wide steering angle of 49 degrees, chromoly universal axle shafts are employed. The setup includes full ball bearings, metal transmission gears, and a 32P spur/pinion configuration, ensuring a smooth and dependable performance when tackling even the most challenging terrains.

The VS4-10 Fordyce RTR is equipped with the proven VFD Spec transmission, known for its exceptional durability and optimized design. The molded F10 Straight Axles adopt a high clearance design, which not only minimizes the size of the pumpkin but also replicates the appearance of full-scale axles found in the real world. Connecting the VFD Spec to the F10 Axles are the ISD10 driveshafts, which feature machined CV-style joints at each end with molded splined shafts in between, ensuring smooth, quiet, and efficient performance.

Furthermore, the vehicle boasts large 8mm bore S8E shocks, complete with dual X-Ring cartridges and scale-threaded caps, along with a sealed upper bleeder screw. Adjusting the S8E preload is a breeze, thanks to the threaded shock bodies and collars.
