They are probably out of production now. I don't know if any aftermarket ones would work with the brass weights. Another option would be the SSD brass knuckles.

Even Horizon says discontinued, email them and ask why.

HotRacing, STRC, Boom Racing, and some no name brands available.

SSD RC makes aluminum C-hubs and brass knuckles for it.
PARTS FOR ASCENDER

I have not tried any of these brands.

I've not seen any aftermarket ones that are direct fit with the brass brake rotors. Yep, SSD.

I don't get why they won't runs another production of spindles because every site has those rotors in stock they are screwing people, but good news is I'm working on modifying the oem spindles to accept the rotors.

I would email their support and ask them about another run.

Nice, looking forward to how you work it out, I've thought about it before and it's do-able.

We had to discontinue these Aluminum option parts. The amount of sales against the minimum amount we have to order from the factory required us to Disc them. Sorry guys but it is what it is.

Hey guys, first post here. Just picked up an Ascender F100 and I'm searching through the forums so I don't ask too many stupid questions that have been answered already!
After beatin' the snot outa' this thing for a week, I've decided there are a few mods I want to do. I'm trying to decide on a second set of tires and some beadlocks. I'm going to need a new steering servo pretty soon as I can see a bunch of slop in the shaft already. Lastly, I want to add some weight down low to keep it planted.
I'm aware of most of the options (I think), like Beeftubes and the SSD brass knuckles, but I really like this option the most in spite of the cost. Then I realized that the necessary parts aren't available anymore!
Bummer. Need to find someone else willing to another production run of these parts!

You could get beef shanks: https://www.beeftubes.com/store/p243..._KNUCKLES.html

And a set of wheels of your choosing, then you could order some beef patties: https://www.beeftubes.com/store/c8/BEEF_PATTIES.html
