Learn how to install VS4-10 narrow molded inner fenders for Phoenix or other narrow bodies. Step-by-step fitment tips with common mistakes.
Quick Answer
For a clean, professional look on your VS4-10 with a Phoenix or other narrow body, install the VS4-10 Narrow Molded Front Inner Fenders following the steps below. They are designed to fit narrow bodies and provide full coverage without rubbing.
Why Narrow Fenders Matter for Your VS4-10
The VS4-10 Narrow Molded Front Inner Fenders are specifically shaped for narrow or pinched bodies like the Phoenix. Standard inner fenders may poke out or leave gaps, but these molded pieces follow the body lines for a tidy fit.
They also keep mud and debris out of the chassis, which means less cleaning and better protection for your electronics and drivetrain.
What You Need Before Starting
Gather a 1.5mm hex driver, a 2.0mm hex driver, a small Phillips screwdriver, and the included hardware. The set includes both left and right fenders, so you don't need to buy extra parts.
Work on a clean, well-lit surface. If your body is already painted, handle the fenders carefully to avoid scratching the finish.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Remove the body and wheels: Take off the body shell and all four wheels to access the chassis rails and fender mounting points. Set the body aside on a soft surface. Check that the chassis is clean and free of debris before proceeding.
- Test-fit the fender: Place the left fender against the chassis rail and body mount to see how it aligns. The fender should sit flush with the body line; do not force it. If it doesn't sit flush, check that you have the correct side (left vs. right).
- Secure the fender with hardware: Use the included screws and a 1.5mm hex driver to attach the fender to the chassis. Tighten snugly, but avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping. Over-tightening can crack the molded plastic—stop when the screw is snug.
- Repeat for the other side: Install the right fender using the same steps, ensuring both fenders are symmetrical and aligned with the body. Compare both sides to ensure even spacing from the chassis rails.
- Reinstall wheels and body: Put the wheels back on and reattach the body. Check for any rubbing when turning the front wheels and when compressing the suspension. If rubbing occurs, adjust the fender position or trim the body slightly—do not trim the fender unless necessary.
