    If you can not get hardened steel lower range transmission gears yet, you can at least use a set of underdrive gears in both the front & rear portals to reduce the over all gear ratio. It will certainly help with slow speed crawling some for the mean time.

    Thanks for another the great video. Are you going to remove the springs on this one? I am thinking about it, based on your past recommendations on suspension. I have pretty much decided to run this one stock with the exception of adding some weight to get the 60/40, which I have already done, with weighted front wheels and adding some weights to the front tray with hot glue. running the injora 64 s5 swamp claw tires, which are awesome IMHO. Thanks again look forward to seeing what you do next.

  • @AnySumptionBanter
    @AnySumptionBanter 10 месяцев назад

    this is where a good 3d print insert would work great.. or if manufacturers made, a low profile tire so it wouldn't fold under the rim. beyond that, my two takeaways is that its rather quiet (reminds me of the fms escs), and the improvement with the motor. what about an injora purple motor?
    all the other upgrades i think is flavor. i like mine lite to float over things

But then again so are the 18 evo pro upgrades (have already spent like $250 on axles and a bunch of other goodies) but it does already come brushless which is a big cost if you are gonna do that down the road with the ascent anyways. When it comes down to it, my ascent will probably just stay semi stock and will probably be my 5 year olds rig.

      Truth. I went way overboard with this one though. I think you could put the portal covers/boxes on and a wheel and tire upgrade and it make a huge difference.

      I feel your pain!
      We have Holcomb Hobbies in Beaumont TX that has a box stock class as well as the other classes on their new crawler course.
      Another great video as always Adam!

    @CapeCrawlers my PN motor just came in, there's not a set screw hole on the pinion, does it just slide on or what?

      It is unfortunate how high the prices are on the brass parts.

    It's not the bike, it's the rider. If you need a full electrical system upgrade, you should have purchased a different vehicle. If you need to spend $300 - 400 on a $100 truck you should look elsewhere. Also, don't forget that adding weight and/or torque will break smaller plastic and metal parts, which will be hard to find. So far I'm not a fan of the truck.

      All rtr electronics suck regardless of price or brand. Everyone upgrades rc vehicles that’s more then half the fun. I don’t thing this hobby is for you

      Ehh to a point. There is a point of diminishing returns and I think this is at, or slightly above that.

    Good video, but please take the damn stickers off, it'll make the chassis look twice as good instantly.. That's the first thing I do, can't stand stickers! Especially when they say Made in China.. Too bad you can't get the front links anywhere, I bet Redcat is making more off these parts than they are on the cars! $2 parts for $30, but we pay it!
