You literally just blew my mind with the windshield decal of people driving your truck. Gotta do the side windows now and it’ll be legit. I’m too lazy for an interior and hate the added weight but hate seeing my electronics inside too. Again, mind blown. Ben |

Drove out to my usual spot for a short while. I just got a used once Gopro Hero 6 so gave it a try. It was damn cold at the top, 5C and very windy. Enjoy the view. Last edited by M1tch; 10-28-2018 at 07:02 PM. |

| Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
I bought a used Ascender Bronco with extra sets of wheels and tx/rx off ebay just for spares. I don't know what the other shell is and the cage is definitely home made. The Bronco shell has had the rear almost completely ripped off, so it's either bin it or maybe try a cab build. I'm keeping the chassis built up so I can use it to prototype some RULR's aand other stuff.   ]   Last edited by M1tch; 11-03-2018 at 01:22 PM. |

Good chassis! As long as it isn't as knackered as the rest of it.  |

It looks like it's had some rough treatment, but as long as stuff like axles, trans and drivetrain are good then it's worth having. Ascenders don't seem too popular over here, so having some spares is worthwhile as ordering stuff takes a while. The tyres are Gmade MT1904. They look like they might work in the damp terrain around here so will give them a go.

M1tch, nice purchase, Bronco body is perfect for a cab build with outside paint!

The cage is a piece of art.

You should see the bolts going into the body. At least 8mm lol. Must have been a blacksmith that built it

Good idea. I guess driving it will prove whether it lives or not.

I have a 3bros G13 that runs up to 14.4v.... Got the idea from that... I figure these servos aren't all the pricey, so what the heck.... I can tell you so far, it is a heckuva lot faster running directly off the battery... Ya never know, this could be the "Crawling Hack of the Century"... Or more than likely end up a disaster..... Updates to be made as new data is collected.... | ||

K10 Redux... This one has trained 3 new drivers, been thrashed to death, repainted twice, and now a new lease on life. It still drives great. HW1080 with stock Dynamite 35T, plus-1 pinion Beeftubes in front Extended rear lengths for WB4, stock front, puts WB right at 11-7/8" or 301mm. Just did this last night - works out well. Shocks have been out-boarded. Trujillo mod yet to do for shocks. ADS-15 Arrma servo - DS3218 in the box. I had robbed the rear cage for my other crawler so got a new one for this project...mod'd for a 3mm birch plywood flatbed. Works out quite nicely, have to trim down the rear body mounts that are not used for the K10. If'n I ever want to run a different body will likely have to get new shock towers. Body has been lowered, front bumper raised and pulled in. Tamiya lexan paint on the outside. Yes, this was a yellow truck when it was new.  SSD Steelies Oh, and I got to put to use all those little ammo cans Axial packs with their kits. I always wondered what those were for. LOL    Last edited by Browneye; 11-14-2018 at 09:01 AM. |
