Ok Jon, these are going to Lee when he gets home, unless you can persuade me other wise!!!













These have a new upgrade that I just designed.

It'll be ok. Lee needs all the help he can get competing against me

I sure could use a set of those as well... After driving my K10 at our last comp, I'm really enjoying it.

Stumpy has been such a good boy I thought I should reward him.
Finally after all this time slid in the BRXL that's been collecting dust, the castle BEC that should have been the first thing I'd done, moved him up to the 4PLS, swapped out the cheapo motor for a better cheapo motor and gave him a shiny new set of MIP shafts. I'll find out Saturday at Goat Hill if he appreciates all my hard work or not Last picture of the bunch might be of a couple of green things that might be a hint to my winter project I have planned

Yeah, that's a little much on the solder, but I aint never had a wire come loose due to a lack of solder

Somewhat of an idea how tight Stumpy can turn.
And since Buford never seems to get any time on RCC, I figured I would put him up here too, so he doesn't feel left out

what a sweet build, ive never been a fan of short wheelbase rigs but seeing the capabilities of yours makes me think otherwise.
I'm a newbie to the ascenders and wont be buiding my kit until my codyboy axles turn up, all these awesome builds are keeping me going.

Thanks for the compliment I think it's give and take between long and short wheelbase rigs. Had to adjust my driving style a bit, but with the few mods that's been done this little guy always makes me smile. The Codyboy steering is where it shines! The way this thing can side hill and turn up hill where the bigger rigs always roll is almost like cheating
