Old Ascender rebuild

[kincer]

Bought this about a year ago and did a complete tear down and rebuild. Added a Reefs swaybar, TReal overdrive in the front, Hitec 7954, 1080 esc, Holmes Crawlmaster sport 13t. Got brass at all four corners, got a few odds and ends to do yet, get some new wheels and tires etc. Torque twist with sway bar and overdrive is hardly noticeable. Been a fun project!

Looks like it's been a good year for that old Ascender. And from the build, it sounds like it'll have a few good years ahead of it.

That "hydraulic" steering actuator is cool!

Really wish they would not have discontinued these rigs! It crawls so well!

Figured out my wheels and tires, dropped ride height with springs and tweaked my body mounts.

Looks great Kincer, sits nice and low. Are those Dravtech shocks you are running?

Thanks! Modified big bores with unknown springs I had laying around, with the OD in the front, the sway bar, and the low stance I don't notice much torque twist at all, it's not a problem at all now and it was simple.
