The Vanquish wasn't just a buggy — it was a mechanical marvel etched in dirt and asphalt. This VQS isn't just a re-issue; it's a masterfully composed sequel. Every tweak, from the subtly refined suspension geometry to the differentials inherited from the 2011 re-issue Avante, makes this VQS a love letter to the original, meticulously crafted for the modern era.
Including a pre-cut, pre-painted body which gives you a factory-quality finished paint job — just place the decals the way you want them and you'll be ready to relive the original.

The lightweight monocoque bathtub frame delivers both robust protection for your RC electronics while making maintenance effortless with easy access for adjustments and repair.

Shrouded with a Carbon Fibre centre plate, the front double wishbone suspension is equipped with robust aluminium uprights and universal driveshafts offering unwavering control. A three-piece steering tie rod setup further enhances responsiveness, ensuring a durable and reliable steering experience.

Long, ball-mounted lower arms on the rear suspension provide exceptional stability. Threaded upper arms, both front and rear, allow for precise camber adjustments to optimise performance for any terrain.

The combination of lightweight 6-spoke wheels and pin spike tyres optimise both handling and speed. Narrow front wheels slice through corners, while the wider rear design digs deep for traction.

Worried about dust and grime clogging up your drivetrain? Tamiya have designed the VQS with sealed front and rear gearboxes that house compact planetary gear differentials. The same differentials which can be found in the Avante.

Unleash instant grip with the shaft-driven 4WD system, powered by a longitudinally-mounted motor. A precision ball differential in the drive gear ensures optimal power distribution and smooth cornering.
