thought I would post this up as a how to as I tried to research what i was getting myself into with this project.
Started off as a regular VS4-10 Vanquish in a Boba Fett theme:
I then decided to turn it into a power wagon which was enough work on its own getting the front axle servo to work. I ended up cutting the mount and tapping it directly into the sliders I picked. I then saw the new servo behind axle and 4 link mount and figured, that would be cool!
For that project you also needed the adapter for the shorty motor which isn't designed for the VS4-10. first problem was the top shaft is not intended to work with the VS4-10 front gear. a few mins filing down one side and it was good to go.
Next was the upper front links which were easy since I just purchased a lathe for my 6x6 project.
I also installed a 3D printed pelican box over the rear servo to hide it. Everything works great and its ready to crawl! just waiting on a longer servo arm for the front axle!
I've also done the Vanquish billet axles and am working on the rear lights.
