Default First ascender.

Got my ascender a few weeks ago. I already have the chassis built and in the process of painting now. But I will share some pics. Running an mmp and pro4 3300. (I know I know). Gcm racing diff outputs. HD gears. Jun fac steel driveshafts hot racing knuckles and chubs. Ssd steering link from scx10. HH servo. China wheels. Stock tires team knk hardware (of course) double dz rcs delrin lower links and prototype link risers. Stock shocks with the piston mods and losi 27.5 wt oil. And helios rc batteries. Ready to see how she does and holds up.

I did get the second color laid. Little brighter than I wanted but I think it will be OK once I do the detailing.

Well, beat the crap out of it this past weekend at a local comp. Managed to take a 2nd place finish with it lol. First time I even drove it. Missed 1st place by the last gate on the last course lol. I was very impressed with it. My paint didn't hold up though. Not sure what happened. (I used tamiya and washed the body thoroughly before). But here are a few pics. Removed the section of the body under the grill because of trail damage. But it actually.worked out because I used some doubledzrcs droop hoops (made for the scx) and raised the front bumper gaining some approach angle! Yay. Because it completely sucked before lol
