Did you have to do anything special to get the 1.55’s to work? I always thought they would hit the portal covers

Nothing at all just make sure your offset is correct when you order your wheel of choice

Wait, a TRX4 at Axialfest? I have never attended Axialfest but I was under the impression that you had to have an Axial based rig to participate. Is that not the case?

I was wondering the same the other day till I seen this

Technically, you're supposed to be using an Axial or "approved vendor" chassis... (read, aftermarket - not competitor)

There was a bunch of whining on the Scale News Update about that, pay them no mind.

They're all toy trucks, damnit!

We are a INCLUSIVE community, it's bad enough with the occasional "comp vs scale" griping, but when it gets reduced to brands of like vehicles running with each other it is really a bit much.

Couldn't believe the moaning I read below the video... but that's what I deserve for looking at YouTube comments!

I ran my Ascender last year at Axialfest. Yeah your not supposed to but it was my only rig at the time. I have two Axial parts on that rig so I felt justified.....not to mention I paid for camping and registration so it's not like I was taking something from them. Just me and a bunch of like minded friends doing some good trailing. Wondering if they were turning away Ascenders this year seeing how Horizon now owns both Vaterra and Axial?

BigBlokBoi · 07-26-2018, 07:22 AM

I registered with my Axial vehicals. But I drove all my rigs! I was there 7 days

You can only register Axial based rigs. But maybe next year it will be different

I’m really interested how the interior paint holds-up.

No flaking, cracking or lifting anywhere?

If it works thàt good, it opens-up a whole new world of colour options.

BigBlokBoi · 07-26-2018, 08:59 PM

I prolly have 40 packs run thru it in the hot Nevada sun never a issue. I use interior paint on all my rugs for past 10 years

I did not find a 2001 Taurus specific burgandy interior paint. I did, however, find a Dupli-Color #MS300 metalic interior paint which looks like it might be the same or very close.

I lowered the chassis by raising the top of the shock mounts
