What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

Just like it says. Did you upgrade something? Take it out for a quick spin? Or an epic day out? Don't worry about making a new thread. Take some pics and post it here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9ae3786030.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1dfb9a9c5d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...826047ee23.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e869b8fe57.jpg

I added the Rc4wd deep dish wagon wheels with IROCs and Proline's new 1.9 dual stage foams. What a great combo. This thing is unstoppable now.

Working with vaterra alum shocks, finishing up dressing codyboy rear axle with ssd alum diff cover, and titanium links. All kind of a headache, but fun at the same time. Pics up after I get the right oil for the shocks...

Tires and rims look MEAN... Got a comparison shot of the stock tires along side of those beasts??? Are they taller?

Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

Rag6, thank you. I really like the way they turned out. Unfortunately I don't have a comparison pic. The stock wheels and tires went down the road a while ago. However, I can tell you that the IROCS are a little taller and wider than stock. Around here, we mainly have trails with occasional rocks to climb. The extra height and grippy compound really make this a go anywhere rig. Good luck with those shocks. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ad1f503b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...843b17e453.jpg
These were two different combos I used begore I came across what I have now.

Had a run out in way oversized rock pile, Done really well but decided to make a move and remove a few parts ready for it's transformation. Body, Wheels, Bumpers and the side bars. The main chassis shocks etc will be left standard so I can continue to tweak as I go but I need to get the rig as I like it to look before continuing

Ty sir. I think the dd wheels will wind up on my truck in the future. I may use the irocks too. My terrain sounds just like your terrain lol...

Still working on my interior. Covering the motor/trans is frustrating when you want it to look good.

What did I do today? Ordered a new K10... ;) I think it will go with the Bronco very well... also ordered some new bolts to outboard the shocks on both trucks, hopefully that'll help with the TT. ;)

Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

I looked at mine. Today I spent time taking my Heng long Russian kv1 tank apart and weathering it. We got some snow tonight so after work tomorrow I'll probably take the k5 blazer for a spin in the snow.

Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

Today I picked up a K10 rear cage from my LHS for a kit I have waiting to get built. I also adjusted my ride height and determined I need to overhaul my shocks soon...

Tweaking my K10 rear suspension setup for next comp.

Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

Thats great, i deff plan on doing the exact same thing! Just wasnt sure what thickness would be best and also have it go the length of the slider brackets or just a little triangle; two holes on the bottom for mounting and one for link... what do you think Chris81??

Figured out that I switched the panhard bar for the front upper link when I installed the ssd links doh!!!!
Swaping them now.

Re: What did you do to/with your Ascender today
 

I almost did a triangle pattern but in the end wet with the L, it was just easier to cut out. I used 1/8 aliminum plate cut into an L shape behind the slider plate. I ended up doing 4 holes because I wanted to make sure the skid plate and frame had the proper support. I don't have a drill press so drilling holes in a straight line let alone a grid pattern is pretty hard. I just made one hole for the upper link, it's about 1cm above the stock location. I have space to drill more holes if I want to adjust it.

Installed the metal diff covers and a Futaba receiver. Now the steering is equal in both directions.
