Ascender in Honduras
 

Well, i got mine three weeks ago, sadly i received one of the earlier kits, no hd nothing and missing some bolts, i have to buy the parts, but no biggie, i have already built the chassis and mechanicals no problem so far, i will post pics later , nothing out of the ordinary though, i still have to paint and trim the body, haven't decided what color yet.

i know , i was just pointing out the piece missing"thumbsup"

re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Gotcha. It took me a few minutes trying to figure out exactly what that was. Maybe I was just having an off day

re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Not my best work at paint but here it goes, so far i have only used it on the couch to test it, the steering, suspension and traction seem to work properly, i did the piston shock mod and it makes the travel smoother and softer than stock. I am waiting on a couple becs i ordered for this and another build i have going on, it will run a sidewinder 3 on 3s, i am also wating on the relo kit and will be ordering the the parts to convert to a 2 speed.

Hey folks, i am getting ready to order the 2 speed parts for the tranny, i just want to be absolutely sure that the list on the stickie is up to date and complete, any input will be greatly appreciated"thumbsup":mrgreen:

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Looks good, did you notch both piston holes, drill them out to what size and what oil weight? "thumbsup"

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

i did both sides and went with heavier 60 wt losi oil.

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Little help with 2 speed parts question? i am a little confused as i have seen several builds with the 2 speed conversion and they all mention parts missing from the sticky list to complete.

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Where did the two-speed conversion parts list go? I saw it many times, but dont' remember where it's at...should be a sticky!

Here's some info, but we should update and sticky the list. :)

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Does the two speed really cost that much

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Its a little bit more then pricing it together but your also getting another case slipper and dust cover so that is about right.

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Wow then I really got a good deal on the ascender then

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Aprrently?

Re: Ascender in Honduras

Re: Ascender in Honduras
 

Well , i really haven't updated this thread, and i will post some actions sometime later, but so far i love this rig, it is really nice out of the box , i lowered the body about three notches from factory, looks much better imho, it's now sporting a 30t holmes motor"thumbsup", i am installing leds on it, i will use some 1.9 beadlocks i got from eritex a few moons ago, i am waiting on a 2 speed tranny to come in also.
