Would love to hear some feedback on the Crawlmaster Pro 16t motor once you get running. Been thinking about using that when my stock motor bites the dust.

I don't have much to compare it to. This is my first rc vehicle of any kind.

Yes sir. You know your parts well. I will have some more pics tomorrow...I'm quickly learning that this can be an expensive hobby...I'm looking at wheels now and I'm really liking the Vanquish METHOD 1.9 RACE WHEEL 101 BLUE/BLACK ANODIZED

Installed some MIP driveshafts, 2-speed, flipped and removed a spacer on the rear bumper.

2-Speed
I had to cut of the little nubs on the servo mount to use a smaller servo and angle the mounts to keep the servo centered. I am trying to keep my rig waterproof and waterproofing my hitech caused the gears to keep binding.

It has been a busy summer... But I'm back. I have a few mods that I have added and I need to post, until then here are some action shots.

Next project is lighting up the Ascender and adding a winch... I wired up the lighting controller for the two light bars, forward driving lights, brake lights, reverse lights, and hazard lights

OneTooManyRCs Black Beauty Light bar and 2" Light bar

SSD Winch Bumper

SSD OX Winch

HeyOK Lighting and Winch Controllers (HEYOK TLC, HEYOK Dual RC Switch for LED lighting, and HEYOK 4A w/ Soft Start)

Installed pics coming soon.

Nice build, the Ox winch and SSD winch bumper are going to look great mounted up front!
