VFD install into the Axial CJ7 SCX10iii. . Is it an upgrade?
Going through the whole process of installing the Vanquish products VFD transmission into the Axial CJ7 SCX10iii.
Disclaimer: “ruining” is referred to modifying the platform beyond reason to make it better for the specific user. It’s a joke, or more so a compliment to creating something unique and unexpected. If you feel like it’s click bait then you are looking for click bait, thanks for watching and sorry to disappoint you. It’s who I am and how I speak about my trucks.
Harley’s part certainly ruined the scx10iii platform as it was and made it 1000% better as a result.

That's truly the best part of this hobby, upgrading, modding, personalizing!! If it's not your cup of tea, there is probably a quilt sewing channel on KZread just for you😘😂🤣
I did the same one year ago, with their twin vfd twin transmission in my Gladiator. That thing is a beast 😁
Excellent swap! I watched Josh's vid and then caught this one and I am so impressed with the conversion. Great to see a running video if you are able to piece one together! Cheers and Thanks!
If you remind the battery tray that goes from the left to right in front of the rear wheels. You will find two mounting holes for the tray. If you cut those off, your rear suspension will have a longer travel 🙂
Great video on the swap. I'll take that stock transmission off your hands lol
thanks for the awesome vids. keep up the good work.
He might do a conversion for the VFD Twin. I think it would be awesome to have 2wd/4wd option. Only for the coolness factor. My question is, would installing a VFD in your SCX disqualify you from running it at an Axialfest? I'm currently building a mashigan on a Bronco chassis for Axialfest West this year and I don't want to risk it not passing inspection. This will be my first year attending so excuse my ignorance of the rules.

The requirements for axial fest are always debated but as long as the chassis and or driveline is axial based you are fine. This still retains the chassis and axles so good to go.
Awesome!!!
Nice mod.. do you have to get rid of the vfd shroud to make it fit? Or it’s just your option not to add it?

Are yall trying to make this a crawler? I love the rig but from day one i have thought it a gorgeous trail truck. I don't get comparing everything with 2 straight axles to competition rigs. I do modify my rides but i also wouldn't try making my 8s Outcast EXB a speed run rig. The comments section just seems full of folks down on this truck for the wrong reasons.

Not so much making it any sort of competition level right now. It’s a sweet trail truck that has performance potential for a bit more than factory gave. I call it performance scale
Will this also work with the vfd twin transmission?

No, the mounts are different for that transmission
Look at the bootlickers you’ve upset calling out a cleverly disguised advertisement channel… love it!
Notice a gear ratio change between the 2 transmissions?

It’s a noticeably better ratio and now I can adjust the overdrive inside the transmission

If you didn't already have a VFD laying around, do you think the gains are worth the $120+ to do the conversion?

I would recommend going on the vanquish buy sell group and find Rob Matheny and buy one from him. He parts out new rigs and it’s much cheaper. But yes. Better trans and more options for over drive in the VFD

My guy…Harley Designes ruined my CJ7? “Ruined”? You know that means to make something negative, right? Total clickbait. You obviously have the skill. The rig is popular already. I give a SUB to almost every cool RC channel or vid that someone does. “Clickbait” gets you a view on one video. However, it will never get you a SUB. Furthermore, you used that awful music. I was actually hoping to hear you talk about it. “When is this guy going to say something”? I’m sorry guy. You just went about this the wrong way. Next time, just put a naked girl in the CJ7 and call it good.

@@ateaserc Fair enough. Can’t tell you how to do your videos. I’ve had awful music in my vids before. All I’ll say is, maybe some intermissions where you share your thoughts. Harley Designs is respected in the RC community. “Ruined”, came as a bit of surprise to me. That man puts his reputation on the line every time he speaks. You got the skill. Don’t worry about your accent, your language, etc. Speak your mind. That’s what we “clicked” your video for.

Why spend $500 on an inferior chassis platform and have to spend hundreds more and many hours of your time in hopes of making perform better because you like the body? This is counterproductive people.
