Natedog's Vaterra ASCENDER

[Natedog]

Instead of zip-ties to hold the bar to the frame rails.

FullForce RC the originals, I still use these on all my servos, works great.

Aluminum 1/10th scale servo clamps by Fullforce RC

Or VP brand, I have a pair of these to try and they are very nice.

Anything that you see that jumps out at you? I used my truck as a reference and went from there. Trying to do the angles and get them to come out the right height on the cab is a pain. If I'm going to try and build some of these I need to make some jigs!!!

Wow, very nicely made, texted you couple pictures of my Vaterra aluminum battery tray pivots, Double DZs RC RULRs are 0.136" thick, battery tray pivots are 0.115" thick. I can put thin washers to make the slight thickness difference if needed. Maybe better if nerbars are almost same length as stock so that they make one longer smooth nerfbar? Not sure, just thinking out loud.

I can hear the wheels turning from here Pete."thumbsup"

Same wheels I had on it when I was at your place, and they only had a couple runs on them then. They will go on the Bulldog Ascender when I get back to it.;-)

Hehe I remember black, but thought were SSD black beadlocks. Looks good and sounds good.

Slider jig is a great idea.

Hey Chris, even though it is called brazing, using Safety Silv 56 is more like silver soldering. Some think the safety silve is expensive, I think the results are worth it. I have posted in my builds the torch and tools I use. Not that expensive to get into. If you need help, let me know!"thumbsup"

X2, Safety Silv 56 is much stronger than brazing. "thumbsup"

I agree with Codyboy and Natedog. After getting the correct materials and about 2hrs of practice I started getting some nice joints. All I use is haris brush on flux, safety silv 56, and a map gas torch from home depot.

Does it give off much for fumes? I'm limited to my shop area in the basement...if things get too smelly the wife gets grumpy [emoji14]

I always do it outside but it doesn't seem to give off too many fumes.

Thanks to the persistent existence of this thread, I am now considering getting an Ascender to keep my SCX10 II company. You people are bad for my financial health.
