Get them while you can

Just saw Horizon has Ascender kits and the RTR K5 on sale. If you've been debating a Blazer RTR or kit, now is the time.

K-5 body is done, not gonna make any more so what's floating for sale in the world is the last of them. I DON'T need another as I have a brand new kit still in a box but man this is tempting....

Damn that's cheap for a kit! Amazing deal which is still one of the best built scalers out there.

There is a 10% off coupon on eBay that can be used too.

A new ascender kit for $225, hmmmm.

Edit: Looks like this coupon is limited to certain sellers, however if one of those 15% off anything coupons pops up while these are still around.

I thought that coupon was only for select items from select stores?

I would imagine Vaterra will re-release the kit will a different body no? It’s hard to imagine they do away with the Ascender kit altogether. Rich has recently pointed out that a Ascender II isn’t immanent so its too soon to phase it out.

Seems like an amazing deal. I hope I don't miss it EXCEPT...doesn't this mean a new version is on the 'Horizon'? Tough call! I'd hate to get one and then watch a new, amazing kit version come out with all sorts of cool upgrades...What to do, what to do?

Rich said the K10 body is sticking around, but that has never been offered as a kit. TBD if they offer a K10 kit.

Well if it's the kit and not the Blazer shell you're after, now that they are discontinued I'd imagine you could get some of your investment back selling the clear shell. Makes it a little less painful in the event something new is released and more tiny trucks is better than less tiny trucks...

THIS. 100%

the original ascender is still holding its own out there against newer rigs with "more features"... ;-)

if i was in the market right now (read: i'm broke) i would snatch one up!

Absolutely amazing deal for this kit. Unfortunately... I need to cut back.

I actually do...

Dang. I almost want to buy one just for the sake of having a "spare" body at that price!

My parts bin is screaming at me "fill me! Fill me!" You guys aren't making this easy on me. I just shared but am oh so tempted... The lady already saw me smerkimg and when I fessed up (idiot) she said "you don't need another Blazer!!!" Plus I still have a brand new unopened kit from the Feb sale. 2 is ALMOST being greedy.
