Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Well it was sitting on the front porch waiting for me when I got home, I immediately unpacked it, took the preload off the shocks and popped a battery in it. First drive and I'm impressed, this thing is like point and shoot and it goes! Wow I can't imagine how good it can be with some of Natedog's mods! Here's the pics more to come.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9eaf910a77.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54db049336.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cab83228c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...024794944b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b8cf798924.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...242a3d98f9.jpg

Nice!! I like the colour. It looks barely used as well.

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Thanks! Yeah it's in really nice condition, this is actually the K5 Blazer kit edition and it came with some extra stock links and a few other things, plus the kit manual so that will be nice to have a paper version instead of having to download it.

Dang it I knew I should have bought it :lmao:

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

I'm sure glad I bought it heck of a deal! You're right body bigger than I expected.

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Congratulations on your new Ascender, love the color too! Looks virtually un-used, good score! :)

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender

Thanks it definitely was a good score!

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Thanks, it's funny I'm not really a Ford guy, I'm not really brand loyal though I like what looks scale and realistic, now I've got two Broncos lol

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Hmmmmmm....2 Broncos and you're not a Ford guy:shock:...now if you get a third then I think it's time to just admit it :lmao:

Ok guys I'm new to these and maybe I'm missing something but here's my question, to start it came with a basic Tactic radio and I noticed I wasn't getting as much steering one way as I was the other, not sure which way at the moment, so I put one of my Flysky rx's in and bound it to my hacked Flysky radio, set everything up endpoints at 120% and still about a 1/4 in more one way than the other, tire will touch the shock one direction but about 1/4 in away the other. I also messed with different positions of the servo horn, even messed with draglink lengths too, so is this just the way it is stock or is there a mod I need to do?

Next question I think I'm gonna go with the gmade steel factory looking basic wheel with Proline BFG A/Ts 4.35in version, I wanna drop that body as much as I can that's why I want to go with a smaller tire, anybody have any experience with this tire? Also need opinion of what steely to go with, black, white, or silver?

Here's a pic with black Traxxas wheels, I'm thinking black steelies but need opinions.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8866319491.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...42059122d9.jpg

Wish I could find a decent 2009 up Ram quadcab body to run, nothing I've found so far I like very well, I'd like to make copy of my 1:1 truck.

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

I know it's not a 2009 but it's a Dodge quadcab

I'll probably get that one, I've been looking at that one for a while but it just doesn't WOW me, you know what I mean?

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

I like the black wheels better.


Try setting endpoints at 100% and then turn up the travel in each direction independently of each other.

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Old Bronco is screaming for silver or white wheels. "thumbsup"



X2 and still may need to offset servo horn on the servo output splines one or two spline towards the side that doesn't get full steering travel. "thumbsup"

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

It could be a couple different things. It could be that the servo horn isn't centered. Take the horn off and set the trim to 0 and reattach the horn with the wheels as close to center as possible.

The other thing it could be is the link that attaches to the servo horn could be to long or short. I remove the link from the servo horn and set the trim to 0. Then position the tires straight ahead and then holding the link to the servo horn you can see if it needs to be, and by how much it needs to be shortened or lengthened.

Another thing could be the short wb1 set up the steering links were not parallel to each other while looking from the bottom which can cause the stearing to steer more one way than the other.

I think it would look good with either white steelies or white wagon wheels trimmed with a red n blue ring by the bead

Yes, and good point that Bronco (WB1) and WB2 (K10) uses shorter drag link from servo to steering tie-rod! :)



Yes! "thumbsup"

Re: Kincer's new to me Bronco Ascender
 

Tried that

I even tried this
