TurboFurball Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I like the red, maybe pop a little matt laquer over it? (definitely better than stock, either way) It looks awesome though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 it's finished well not quite still got to get LEDs a couple of accessories and I'm thinking of painting the letters on the tyres and maybe some new shocks not decided yet but this is how she looks now don't know what to call her you know what I mean any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Looking good, the Ascender is fantastic, and very capable. Just make sure you got the ring and pinion correctly shimmed and you're set to go. What kind of electrics have you got in it? If you're ever looking for different shocks, I can recommend the Boomerang type I shocks, 100mm or 110mm, I used the 100mm on the ascender with the medium springs it gives it a slightly more scale look and also slightly better ride. Are those the standard 1.9 mud thrashers? That's what I will probably use when I get another ascender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 All done now lights in and the new shocks on in a bit of a dilemma now thinking of letting it go to fund a new model thinking of a TF2 or a gelande 2 or a tamiya truck I much prefer to make them than play with them anyway here's some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That's some nice looking mirror's. That's one of the "next stage" items on my wish list for my Hilux build. Shame you're thinking about selling it already, I spy some mud on the tyres so looks like you've ran it outside. I enjoy both the building and driving/racing of rc models. My Hilux build is the longest time I've spent collecting bits for the initial build, I've been reasonably patient for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
