The Vanquish VPS09016 VRD Builders Kit Straight Axle is a competition-grade 1/10 scale rock crawler chassis kit designed for serious builders wanting a straight-axle configuration and premium component compatibility. Featuring robust frame rails and modular mounting points, this kit sets the foundation for custom crawler builds that demand strength, flexibility, and upgrade paths.
Key features of the Vanquish VPS09016
- Straight-Axle Gear Setup – for classic crawler geometry and simplified maintenance
- Upgradeable Frame Rails – compatible with VRD accessory parts and portal conversion options
- Machined Lower Components – aluminium or alloy pieces to enhance durability under load
- Precision Mounting Points – for steering, linkages, shocks, and battery placement to customise balance
- Clearance-Optimised Design – bent link geometry and modular skid options support stances
- Partially Pre-assembled Elements – includes key plates and mounts, but needs motor, ESC, servo & battery
The VPS09016 kit is built for people who want to control every choice: motor type, battery layout, tire/wheel comp, and gearing. The straight axle layout promotes predictable steering under load and is ideal for builders aiming for efficient crawling setups.
What components are required to complete this build?
This is a builders kit: you will need to supply motor (brushed or brushless), ESC, steering servo, battery with appropriate connector, charger, wheels/tires, radio/receiver, and optionally shocks if not included.
Why choose straight axle over portal in this kit?
Straight axle builds tend to be simpler, lighter, and easier to service, especially for trail work. The VPS09016 gives you the mounting flexibility and strength needed for durability without the complexity of portals and extra gearing.
If you want full control over your crawler build with parts you pick, the Vanquish VPS09016 VRD Builders Kit Straight Axle gives you the foundation. Buy Vanquish VPS09016 to upgrade your build game today.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
