    Vaterra 72 suburban

    I recently picked up the vaterra 72 suburban. I know this is built off or is the ascender chassis but sense I have never had one I’m a little confused. I have heard/read that this frame is longer. I’m trying to find a good set of bumpers I can mount to the truck and was wondering if anyone has...

    Kit availability?

    Hi all. Apologies in advance if this topic has come up. I run an SCX10 ii, but my eldest picked up the Vaterra Blazer kit - built it up - and out of the box, he's able to keep up with 95% of the stuff my modded SCX can conquer. My step daughter is turning 11 in a couple of weeks, and...

    Dovenosing/ body work with lexan

    I recently bought the Ascender F100 and immediately put in a promodeler 470 servo, a great recommendation by a friend who has been driving rc's off all sorts for over 10 years. What I didn't think much about when buying it is that the Ford's have the shortest WB and the servo is actually mounted...

    The Bronco Ascender is bored...

    When I finally feel like I have energy from being sick so long and want to go out and run my Bronco, it rains... All was not lost though. I remembered I had some rocks from when I used them in my aquariums and figured why the hell not!? Ill just use them! Of course my cat had to photo-bomb some...

    Hi folks - first post here... I'm interested in installing an open diff (which I'll make limited-slip with putty or silicon) or, if available, a lockable diff in the front axle of my Vaterra Ascender.

    1947 Unimog 401

    Spent the last 6 months or so building a 2004 Ford Bronco Concept (it's not finished yet). I mentioned on a local board that I intend bringing it to the nationals and it was subtly suggested not to use it as a comp rig - apparently they tend to get banged up (I'm new to this hobby so have...

    balko's K5 Ascender

    Bought this in mars, but haven't had the time to work on it until the last weeks. The build was pretty straight forward. Some good solutions prior to scx10s. The frame is a lot stiffer, and the steering angle is way better than stock scx. The K5 is long and wide. The body is huge, and gets...
