The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Legend Evolves! After 20 years of the legendary VS chassis dominating the tracks, the successor has finally arrived. At Hobby Hideaway, we are incredibly excited about the VZ Chassis, which takes everything racers loved about the compact, lightweight VS and reinforces it for the modern era. Featuring the iconic Vanquish design theme in a sleek Black ABS body with striking Red 5-spoke wheels, this kit looks as fast as it feels. It’s the perfect bridge between classic racing philosophy and cutting-edge durability.
The All-New VZ Chassis: Compact, Light, and Tough The VZ chassis is a masterclass in "functional flex." It is designed to be lightweight for explosive acceleration while featuring reinforced bumper and rear stay bases to survive high-speed racing accidents. One of the best features for tuners is the multi-part, screw-attached front bumper and rear roller stay. These components feature pre-drilled holes for FRP or carbon stays, giving you total freedom to tweak your machine's rigidity and geometry to match the track.

Vanquish Design Heritage: Sleek Black ABS body featuring the classic Neo-VQS styling, finished with high-quality dedicated metallic stickers.
