Aftermarket Ascender Parts

[Duuuuuuuude]

What parts would you like to see developed for the Ascender? Not just from me, but from any of our vendors here on RCC?

[Dhallmark]

I know you, c.i, and I discussed it in his thread but I'm just in a typing mood so.... Knuckle weight system, high clearance links, I know the really scale guys might not like this one but, axle mounted steering servo (keeps weight low and then I can four link the front and I just think four links works a little better). Just some vp stuff cause it would be cool.

Underdrive and overdrive gears more bumpers not just for the blazer body

Ren

[Harley]

Machined gears that have a separate locker, combined with over/under drive options.

Diff covers/ring gear retainers

[new2rocks]

X2 to OD/UD options. Also would love to see:
1. More bumper (esp winch bumper) and slider options. Stockers are cheesy, to say the least, and there's very little aftermarket out there at the moment.
2. Full detailed interior kit to go with forward mounted tranny setups. I know it would be niche, but...
3. More 1.7 beadlock choices. That size just looks right on the K-5 body (and many others).

SSD have more Ascender parts coming in March/April...

I'd like to see caster correcting c-hubs.

I second this, and would like to add a sealed receiver box that bolts into the space next to the steering servo or on top of the trans.

[jeepgeek2002]

Blazer body interior kit since its longer than the proline scx10 version.
Agree on different sliders.. bumpers of course
Diff's to get rid of torq Twist.
Full fender kits, battery relocators, waterproof rx box,

[lsone]

aluminum caster fixing c hubs

nice diff cover/carrier support without a logo splashed all over it.

bumpers

[tgh117]

the above are all good opinions. Some others would be a floor pan, or inner fender wells. More bumpers / slider options. trailer hitch, general doo-dads, bumper mounted whip antenna

[SteveC6R]

An interior for the stock motor setup, inner fenders, tail lights. Also more front bumper options with the use of a servo winch or bumper mounted winch, love the SSD front bumper but I see it being a hindrance on the rocks.

Tail light buckets would be cool.

Something more finished that looks like a brake light.

RC Addict makes one also but I haven't seen them in stock.

I thought it was pretty easy to adjust the castor on the Ascender axle by drilling new holes in the housing/C-hubs at the desired angle. Am I missing something?

My only pet peeve regarding my Ascender is that dismal 1.86 IIRC axle ratio.
So, maybe I stand alone, but I really want some link mounts and C-hubs to put Ascender outer knuckles on a Twin Hammers housing to gain additional axle ratio, as well as stronger ring/pinion gears.

[BJoe]

Stock bumpers and/or an 80's style square winch bumper, like below.

[DrDiff952]

ToyZuki Forward motor mount.

Dinky SplitSkid.
