Default Lets see those Orange K5's!

Heres the 1:1 version i found on Google:


Heres the ascender painted to match:


nothing fancy.. just orange and black. I still need to sticker it.
waiting on JCAD battery mount and i have MTZ's, waiting for the Proline Faultlines beadlock wheels.
Its running a 35t Outcry brushed motor, wp1060 waterproof esc, Savox 0231 servo waterproof. Nothing has been upgraded. Waterproof, Hitemp grease in all diffs and transmission.
The stock tires have been mounted and i cut the foams to make the side walls more flexible. These were just for mock up.
Class 1 tires can be no bigger than 4.19 inch tall.. these are 4.5 inch.

Heres mine. Not orange but copper and gun metal. Close enough. I have done some more body trimming and lowered it since these pics.

The extended chassis is a flippin' boat! add small tires and your bumpers hit everything! lol
We're going to create a Class 1 trail but for now we were using the class 2 trail.. Found out i need a BEC really fast..the Savox is a power hungry servo!
I have 45w oil in the shocks.. i can barely notice Torq Twist.

Maybe I'll stick with the compass tires for now lol. They do great on my scx10 and seem to fit the accender very well.

Just finished my Orange K5. I'm debating mirrors, but this thing is super wide as is.

That came out great, sounds like good plans for it.

Here's mine. That body is pretty thrashed now, so I'm working on a Cherokee body for it. Gonna shorten it up some & remove the rear bumper to make it fit.
