I would run that steering linkage arrangement, but put the draglink on top of the servo horn if there's room. Maybe run a Traxxas steel ball end that is not as tall to get more room if needed. EDIT: There are three or four different heights of Traxxas steel balls, some are obvious if you look at them, put a set of calipers on them or stand them up side by side and you'll see the different. It's a great linkage tuning tool!

Cool, try it and let us know. SSD wheels look great.

Tried to put the draglink on the top of the servo horn but was no room. will try your advice , but must order parts first. Thank you for the advice

Going out to test drive this weekend

[Bjørn raymond]

Had an awesome day with my blazer today
Tested the car today after the upgrades i've done. Steering worked very well and I am very happy with it, but will try to put the draglink on top of the servo horn. I'm a little unsure of these shocks, feel they are a little slow, will try a thinner oil, i use 30 oil now.
was not entirely convinced with the new tires, felt they did not get any grip. But there has been some rain so it was a bit wet so it may have something to do with it . Someone else here running with RC4WD irok super swamper maybe have any experience with these ?

[Bjørn raymond]

Does anyone have suggestions for which foam I should use in tires? I run with RC4WD irok

Thanks

Hi Bjorn Raymond

Your truck looks great, all the modifications make it stand out

Great to see it with another truck , did you notice a different in performance between the length of chassis ?

I'd like to hear the suggestions for this myself. I run iroks on all my trucks including my 1:1. I do find they loose allot of grip on smooth wet surfaces but as an all around tired they can't be beat IMHO.

SSD wheels mounted

I started to build one of my blazers K5 to K10 pickup. This should be really interesting Should be really interesting to see how K10 is running compared to K5

Curious to see your thoughts on the difference. I started with the K10 and will eventually stretch it to the K5 wheelbase. It's on my "to do" list.

[Bjørn raymond]

Have ordered upgrade parts for my K10 today as ssd diff cover, ssd links, body, vaterra aluminum hubs and knuckles Mounted ssd links back today

[Bjørn raymond]

Now it's a little while since the last update. It has been busy at work so have not been able to do so much with my ascender mounted all ssd links and ssd diff cover There will be more time for my Ascender now that winter is coming to Norway.

[Bjørn raymond]

Can be satisfied with this

[Bjørn raymond]

Got mounted the new tires today and ssd wheels. tires RC4WD 1.9 mud slinger. Let also 50 grams of weights in each wheel. Drilled holes for swaybar in case I should mount it. mounted the original esc. battery case is not moving anymore. Seems this is a really interesting project

Nice Ascender build! I am battling the same upgrade addiction... Was wondering if the lights you installed were a kit? or something you put together on your own? Thanks!

thanks. I've put together the lights myself. Taillights are from dinky rc. Lamp position and 5mm led red and white I bought on eBay.
