Nice build man, looks really good. Do you have any close ups on the front where you narrowed the axle. I've read the thread on the Ascender page but was unclear on how to mount the carrier, or specifically how to secure the top.
I know it mentioned a set screw. Is the way you did yours holding up.

All you have to do is take the c-hub off, remove the axle, measure how much you need to cut off the axle tube and cut. Then you just drill new holes to mount the c-hub back up. I narrowed mine as much as possible, so it made it impossible to mount the c-hub back up using the hole in the back, so I drilled holes top and bottom and used grub screws to secure it. Without these, the hubs could move a bit on the axle tube and give some weird camber at times and I was worried it would strip out eventually. I'll try to get some pics for you soon.

Thanks, It was pretty straightforward once you start doing it. I'm narrowing a set of axles for my V1 Ascender because I'm installing the Mojave body on it. Stock width just didn't look right. Thanks again for your response.
