Would you be willing to sell a set of jack stands? You may have answered this question, but what printer are you running?

Ascender Updates:
So far I'm loving this truck! Lots of little tweaks that differ from Traxxas and Axial. Honestly, the TRX and this Ascender are my favs at the moment. We'll see long term.

Finished the front bumper, servo mount (Version 2), and the rock sliders. Happy how they all turned out.

Looking good!
it almost appears there might be some front tire scrub on the slider things, or is it just the camera angle?

Looking good rob. Glad you're liking the truck so far. Check the front axle shafts. They are almost always put in 90* off from each other which can cause some binding while steering and driving. The cv joint pins need to be in phase with each other on the left and right front axle shafts. From the picture it looks like they may not be, kinda hard to tell but looks like they are off. Just take the left tie rod bolt out of knuckle, then the two bolts that hold the c hub to axle and slide out the whole assembly just enough to turn wheel 90* and put it back in.

They are indeed 90 degrees off. I will adjust this.
Good eye!

Been chatting with my trusted advisers
Came up with a revision to the Ascender rock sliders. Removing the chance for any rock hangups on the bracing system the previous version had.
