Hey guys im new to this forum, i was just wondering if any one had put Vaterra ascender axles under and scx10 chassi, if so could you post pics of how you did it?


Thanks

I'm not sure if anyone has. You would need some kind of adapter for the driveshafts maybe.

I know this is a Wraith, but I guess it would be a similar way to go.

You'd use vaterra drive shafts too... They use grub screws usually, but you can swap them out for the grub pin. And fit to your scx10 gbox

I own SCX10, Wraith and Ascender...it can be done, but I'd rather just have my Ascender...swap bodies anytime.

In the Ascender pics sticky thread at top of this section some guy put VP Axial style Curries under his Ascender...it can be done other way around.

Yes, I'd use the HD Vaterra driveshafts, they are much nicer and the way they attach to pinion gear makes better driveline angles and better ground clearance.

I know 'the scaler store' stock the parts to convert the vaterra ascender axles to run normal shafts like the scx-10

Yes, but you don't need to use adapters, just use the two grub screws to attach Ascender driveshafts to Axial etc. tranny. That's how we did it back when crawling first started and it works great, just Loctite the two screws as usual and all good. The tranny outputs and pinions without through-holes are actually stronger, and you don't need to spend money on adapters, spend it on trail snacks or new shocks etc. instead.

I fully understand your point...the conversation makes using upgraded driveshafts a option though

Yes, it's a nice option.

MIP's are another option, and the two splined male and female peices can fit together even though the 'u-joint' ends are different, making even more axle and transmission swap possibilities.

There is always that option.i converted mine almost immediately as I broke the shaft....then killed 2 diffs I wish I'd have kept it now there's more upgrades....
