Ascender F100 2 Attachment(s) If you would have told me that i would find a more capable and fun to drive rig after I got my trx-4 sport all upgraded and tuned i would have said baloney. The only negative and it is slight is the skid plate gets hung up a little due to the stance. I’ve done the trullijo shock mod and the inner spring pen mod, so it sits pretty low. |
Re: Ascender F100 Good looking truck. You like your Ascender more than your TRX-4? |
Re: Ascender F100 They are a nice rig. Seems to be forgotten amongst all the newer releases. |
Re: Ascender F100 I honestly do. I like the trx4 don’t get me wrong. Just enjoy the vaterra more. Especially the much tighter turning radius. |
Re: Ascender F100 I had to do a few mods to push the vaterra in the lead. Once I got rid of the TT it was my favorite. I like the fact you can make it a nice capable rig for a lot less money than some of the other brands. |
Re: Ascender F100 I’m planning on getting a new cab body. I got a little scissor happy on this one. |
Re: Ascender F100 Sweet looking rig. I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for old Fords. |
Re: Ascender F100 They still seem to be selling a decent handful of Ascenders. I can't help but wonder what is next though. |

Re: Ascender F100 My TRX4 is taking me through the winter. I have now set it up where it's killing it in the snow. That said, I will back to the Ascender come spring. I really like the overall quality and performance it. It's time for Vaterra to re-release it as a builders kit with some inner fenders, aluminum bodies on the existing shocks(which are excellent) and optional OD/UD gears. |
Re: Ascender F100 I’ve got OD/UD in my trx4 sport and I wish i could do that with my vaterra. |

Re: Ascender F100 When I first ran it stock I was really disappointed with how bad the TT was, but with the shock mods I now have zero TT. I just like the smoothness of the drive train and really enjoy the turning radius. I’ll probably never do competition, but if I did I could see using the vaterra. Where as I couldn’t see using the trx-4. It could handle the climbing, but I would point out on reverses. The brass portal weights really cut down the turning radius. |
Re: Ascender F100 Rc addict has a 3D printed high clearance skid plate. It didn’t say in the description, but i wonder if it would require further mods, or would it just drop in? |

X2, my Va'Blazer also has a small diameter home-made rear swaybar and that truck is still my go to crawler for competitions and GTGs. 8)"thumbsup" Did you buy the skidplate or? What's new with your truck? :) |
