Get them while you can

You guys remind me why I don't have and don't want a wife. But girlfriends refuse to remain girlfriends forever!

Eh, it's not a bad thing. She helps me make less stupid money decisions, lol. I sure as hell wouldn't have had my shit together enough to buy a house a couple of years ago. The budgeting part has more to do with making sure my kids are taken care of than making sure my purchases are wife-approved. "thumbsup"

I'm a big kid and I like to spend money on myself so I don't have kids nor will I ever have them. I got a nephew to spoil! "thumbsup"

Dang it, I’ve got a TRX4 build that ain’t done yet and this comes along. Don’t really want another rig but love that K5 body. Couldn’t find a clear or anywhere but they’ve got the red painted one marked down to $60, couldn’t resist. Not a fan of red but ordered one before they’re gone too. Would LOVE to see them come out with that body style in a pickup.

Definitely a good deal. But my country import duties and taxes are just too high even with this special discounted Vaterra. ;-)

Well I tried to pass on this too good to be true deal, I failed. I wanted this rig before I got my SCX10 II kit, but because I had 2 Axials already I went with it due to familiarity and plus I had batteries already. It didnt help that the LHS didn't have one either. I have been snooping around this board a lot due to my interest in the Ascender and since I found out about this I have been waffling on this purchase, till yesterday when I pulled pin at work. I found one back east at AMR that was in stock for $330 canadian with free shipping and only 1 tax got confirmation about shipping this morning so the wait is on. I do have a lot to read up on it as there are a pile of great informative threads from some great people here.

Does the kit come with a clear body or is it pre-painted in the blue/white? In the meantime, I picked up a spare pre-painted red/white body.

Clear but it might be trimmed and holes poked in it for body posts.

My first Ascender came untrimmed and no holes but that one also had the old driveshafts and axle pinions. My second came trimmed and poked and I was upset because I don't use the rear body posts.

Yes, my Ascender came with an untrimmed body as well.

Trimmed and poked...

I bought two kits off amazon a while back when they were 329$ Canadian each. Finally started building one last week and i’m Beyond impressed with the quality. Going with my standard wp1080/traxxas 21t/gt3b/ds3216 combo. Not a huge Chevy guy so i’ll Probably only build one with the blazer body and do another with a traxxas bronco.
