I finished the lights and switched to proline scalers. I will take it out this weekend and continue tuning.

Do you need a case of beer for in the cab, I bought the Mckenzie sp brothers the other day and each one of the bubble packs had several in them.

A little more tuning today. My son changed bodies on his Ascender and joined me. I have the beef patties installed and switched to the proline scalers. I in the front I'm using dual spring set up with what I believe is an Axial red short spring on top and the stock ascender bottom spring. The stock proline springs just bottom out. This beast is heavy. This combo seems to work well and lowered the ride height to where I wanted it.

Using an Ascender fuel cell. I have to get a different filler pipe color.

Fuel cell complete. I used the male pins from a servo connector. Then I stripped a small red wire to make the rings. I used 2mm braided line. It has a .08mm tube inside. The male end of the servo pin slid in perfect. I drilled 2 holes in the tank and put a speck of JB Weld to secure them. It feels like I'm done now. I'm still considering a stack and cutting the hood to reveal a 3D printed 7.3 Powerstroke.

16-18th. Although the 18th is reserved for the top 20. Pretty sure I wont be there for that. She looks good but extreme performance is not there. Next winter I will attempt to build a class 2 bronco that can be competitive. I have a proline 66 bronco body calling my name.

I need some honest opinions. Stack or no stack.

That '79 Ford body on your son's ascender is what I am planning on using on my rig with an ascender cage also. Both rigs look great.

Thanks he doesn't like the short WB so he is switching it back to the Proline extended cab F-350 which is WB 4 with a cassis extension to catch the rear cage mount. We are competing in our first G6 in Harrisburg PA next weekend. I think he will switch back to the 79 after that.

Damn! I was digging the stack. Rhett loves it. Maybe I will attach it with a magnet so I can remove it when you come over:-)

I'd vote no stack as well. Never really cared much for them. See them all over the place here in Missouri.
