| 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. 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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk |

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? |

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

Still working on my interior. Covering the motor/trans is frustrating when you want it to look good. SHOme Sent from my Speak and Spell |

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. ;)

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.

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... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

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