Ascender Build with upgrades!! Hi everyone, Welcome to my build topic. My first thread on this forum too even if I've been around for two years. I bought an Ascender Kit in november for a winter project. I wanted to try it since I already have a SCX10 Rubicon kit. Before I started to assemble the kit I went in different hobbyshops to buy some parts already. Here's the parts list: -Vaterra Ascender Blazer K5 1986 Kit -1.9 RC4WD Steel stamped chrome wheels -1.9 Pitbull Growler tires -G-Made XD Piggyback 113mm Shocks -G-Made G-Transitions 1/10 scale shocks -MIP Driving shafts -Axial Aluminium servo horn (hits the panhard bar because it's too big) Electronics: I searched a lot to be sure of my choice. I have a Novak Goat 3s brushless sensored combo in my SCX10 and wanted something similar and reliable. I also wanted to try a brushed setup to see the difference so I went with Holmes Hobbies combo. -HH BR-XL ESC -HH TorqueMaster Pro 540 (35T) -SR300 Receiver for my DX4C radio -Servo Savox 1210SG Waterproof Incoming parts: JCAD Battery and electronics plate (ordered) JCAD RULR (ordered) HD Vaterra Ascender differential pinion gears New aluminium horn Kit and parts pictures: http://i58.tinypic.com/359a8n4.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/2h2gvhy.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/21a8sn.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/s9sm.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/mt3ymw.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/wb87ep.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/t7oe9y.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/fcuvkl.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/15d2hed.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/152devl.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/s4564n.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/29455cz.jpg The colors I chose for the Blazer body http://i60.tinypic.com/1zlg6zq.jpg Pictures of the build coming soon... |

Re: Ascender Build with upgrades!! Great paint work! |
Re: Ascender Build with upgrades!! Thanks guys! I worked hard to have this result! Im happy with it :) |
Re: Ascender Build with upgrades!! What sequence did you do when painting the body? Which color went on first and so on? I have never painted a clear body. I have only done vinyl wraps and hard bodies. Could you add a picture of the underside of the body. Thanks |
Re: Ascender Build with upgrades!! I did start by putting the windows and lights masking decals. Then I applied a product named Fasmask. It's a liquid mask that dries and and can be removed as easy as masking tape. I did the all the white color before and the blue after. I didn't put backing paint. The silver stripes and made with a silver Sharpie on the outside of the body. I'll post a pic later. |
Re: Ascender Build with upgrades!! Love the overall look it has with those wheels and that color, any chance to see it with the stock tires on one of those wheels? |
