Vanquish Currie Portal F9 SCX10-II Front Axle Clr

Engineered for serious rock crawling, the Vanquish Currie F9 Portal Front Axle delivers portal performance to SCX10-II based rigs. By lifting the axle centre with integrated portals, ground clearance increases by approximately 13mm, similar to fitting tyres more than 1 inch taller without raising the chassis mass. The portals add a 1.67:1 reduction as standard, with an optional 1.4:1 overdrive gear set for the front to sharpen steering and climb control. Reducing the gearing at the hubs helps take stress off upstream drivetrain components. Supplied under part number SCH-VPS08351, it includes the parts required to assemble a complete front axle.

Precision details include a Vanquish AR44 machined gear set, chromoly shafts and spool, double-shear mounting where it matters, and a full Fast Eddy Bearings kit. Currie-licensed styling and smart packaging such as integrated panhard and upper-link mounts enhance both durability and scale realism.

Suggested Compatibility & Fitment Notes

• Suggested compatibility: SCX10-II based vehicles; designed around Axial AR44 axle geometry using stock links
• For Vanquish 1.9 wheels, a 350 SLW hub or greater is required; Incision wheels typically need a #4 hub or greater; other wheel offsets may vary
• Axles are intended to be used in pairs (front and rear)
• Not compatible with the VS4-10 Pro, or when used with the VFD transmission
