What ever happened with the RTR Bronco and NuKizer bodied Ascedners on page 17 of your thread?

EDIT: See you're running Savox servos, do you have a Hitec HS7950 for side by side picture? I'm curious about height of output shaft in relation to mounting tabs on Hitec versus other servos. Want to maybe move my steering servo up in the chassis a few millimeters, say 4mm to 5mm up.

One of my LHS have a Tamiya Jeep hardbody on the shelf, I was wondering what it would look like on the Ascender platform. The new warn winch will be the next upgrade for my rig as well. Nice Blue !!!

New color looks great, metallic blue almost purple in the picture. Thanks for Double-DZ-RCS info, I pmed him and ordered a pair of his rear link risers to play with.

Think moving your links forward one hole from your last pic of them and outboard rear shocks might reduce TT enough to not need rear swaybar. Tops of your rear shocks are already forward too which may help too.

OK, pc pics look little different than phone, looked like the old Dodge Plum Crazy Purple, but I now see that it's a very nice metallic blue.
