I don't know man. The tracking shows it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, yet the package was still in CO as of yesterday morning.

Onto the servo winch. I ordered the aluminum servo horn and the steel spool from ebay. The servo is a Power HD 1501MG 284oz. @ 7.2v. I just ordered 12' of 250lb. red winch line and a hook from LockedUp Rc.



I had to use 5mm spacers to clearance the winch spool from making contact with the steering link. There's about 2mm of clearance at right side full compression.

That's what you get when trying to throttle out when one rear wheel is jammed inside the open end of a pallet.

I just had to post a pic of this being that the rear diff is still apart and waiting for the mail man to show with the HD pinions. SCX10 axle vs. Vaterra axle. Vaterra is 2mm thicker.

Man splits you did a number on that poor pinion. I like those stainless links, I've been looking at how to modify mine for high clearance. But I would like to go stainless since all my hardware is stainless. And thanks for the winch pictures I've been wondering about steering linkage clearance!

Walking the dog, have to pass where the dumpster is to get to the street in the back and find this sitting there.





A lot bigger then the Axial JK



And the lights are all wired too

Nice find. Anything that can make an Ascender body look small is impressive.

Think I'm gonna sell it. I can already vision at least $1000 in making it a nice rig. Yeah, I'll sell it.

Made some battery mounts today. Stole a pair of Axial battery mount plates, made some brackets and attached them to the top of the R2J Kustoms skid plates.



If you happen to get these skids for your ascender and run 4.75" tires, be ready to do some trimming on the fronts...
