My newest Ascender; K10
 
Hi Guys. I have 2 other Acsenders but this is my latest and one with the most add ons. The light buckets are from the Vaterra Glamis. I used them for the headlights as well. WHeels are Vaterra Twin Hammer wheels with 4" Pro Line TSL tires. Still need to install my rear rock lights and 2 speed. Thanks for looking.

Those headlights look great. I know it's been a problem for the K10 guys trying to find headlight buckets that fit and look good. I think you nailed it!

Thanks. What I did was drill a hole dead center of the head light and then took the small Dremel drum and opened it up to the circumference of the stock headlight. Once it was opened up I too Spaz Stix "chrome" paint and filled in around where I Dremeled so it would match the chrome on the grill; the grill plastic is black. The buckets come with lenses. I used a bit of CA with accelerator to tack the buckets in place and the use shoe goo to affix them permanently.

I wish Vaterra would have gone the extra bit and made headlight buckets with LED holders in this body like they did the K5 and Bronco!

Your truck is looking great and very nice solution to headlights in the K10 stock bucket location! I bought a waterproof GearHead lightbar to mount on my K10 front bumper, to buy me time to find good headlight bucket setup. I have some leftover Wraith light buckets too, but the Glamis buckets look great. "thumbsup"

The front bumper is an old RC4WD unit for the SCX10. The cage has spots for the lights on top of the roll bar. Yes, I just drilled them and attached them with CA glue.
