| 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.

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

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. |

| Re: Ascender in Honduras Looks good, did you notch both piston holes, drill them out to what size and what oil weight? |

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.

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. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/vater...scender-2.html |

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, 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.
