I just picked one of these up today. I found it at my LHS & had watched this video a couple days ago & this thing looks even better in person! Charging the battery now cant wait to try it out! Thanks for the great content. I feel a boat in my future and I just started watching your boat reviews lol.
I love mine too! I put new beadlocks, weighted the inner front wheels and added Pit Bull Growler tires. That extra traction and weight up front helped a lot. I also put on a Honcho bumper, weighted it and pushed it in real deep to greatly improve attack angle without the bumper getting in the way. Doubled it's crawling abilities. Have Fun, Great stuff, you two are awesome together!
Also the Suburban uses the full length battery instead of the shorty battery like the c-10 uses. I already had 3 2200 mah batteries for my airplane and the truck runs a very long time on one of those. It’s great😀
You guys should build a crawling course for this truck! I bet I would be fun to build I'm doing one for me and my son. Thanks for your honest opinions on these RC s it really helps me make my decision. Love you guys show
You deserve it guys, I've watched the channel from the beginning and the way I perceived the channel has changed a few times but its always a positive uplifting experience and awesome RC's aswel 😊😊😊 I hope you go forever.. Thanks so much😊😊
Nice! I love my Ascender K10! Out of my 10 crawlers my Ascender is still my favorite, its heavily modded but stock was still great. Its not too different from a SCX10 but what is unique is the smaller pumpkin on the axles (the middle portion of the axle) giving it a bit more ground clearance but this has an unintended effect of adding lots of torque twist (which you can visualize as a drag car launching, it will lift the front left tire first as the forces on the axle twist the vehicle as it accelerates) due to the size of the gears and gear reduction. A sway bar can fix that but its a DIY affair where you use a wraith front sway bar. The other unique thing about the Ascender is the battery tray/mount which is mounted and pivots on the front axle, this places some extra weight up front which is very beneficial for climbing abilities, this mount is actually banned in hardcore competitions.
Once again you guys made RC magic. I enjoy to see all the fun you guys have and how much positive energy surrounds the whole experience of trying out a new toy. My most sincere good thoughts and congratulations on Abbey's pregnancy. Can't wait to see JR unboxing and and playing the new toys of the future. My deepest love and respect for all three of you my friends. Cast36.
Great looking truck with good performance. I like the fact that you allways test on the same spot, as a viewer you can really tell the difference in performance that way. Greetings from Curacao.
Glad you like that Peter :-) Yeah that's one reason we like visiting this spot, as we've seen many trucks fail at this hill so it establishes a base line for something exceptional like this. Have a great day!
I've watched many of these videos and generally enjoy them because I'm curious about what's out there in the rc world. But I must say... These two often say some cringe worthy things that makes it clear they aren't true RC purists.
I just said the same thing in my comment, which I’m really surprised Nate didn’t know this after doing so many reviews on rc’s I think he really knows more about drones, something I don’t know anything about
Good morning RcSaylors & the RC Family! OMG, what an exciting 1/8 scale crawler & great review (of course)! WOW, Abby, I think every roll, of yours, landed wheels down! Nate wasn't as lucky, but drove well. Very fun to watch the different challenges & the close-up shots were awesome!!! Abby, you're still the Queen of "Terrafirma" Vehicle Driving:-! Can't wait for the "trailing vid!" Woop-Woop, oh-yeah, bring it on! Lol! Take super care, my friends! JP
Hello John!! So good to hear from you :-) Yes, this truck performs exceptionally well and we are so happy to have this thing! Very excited to bring everyone along on the trailing video :-)
I assume I'm not the first to tell u this but 35t means 35 turn motor. Not tooth pinion. That's how brushed motors r rated. The higher the turn the more torque and slower the speed. Good for crawling. Love the videos. I have 3 different drones that I love based on ur reviews.
Love the look of that truck :-) Way to go Abby, great choice. PS just letting you guys know i don't comment on all the videos but still watch and enjoy them all ;-)
I'm soo happy you're welcome can you please check out your video with the Red Rock crawler forgot what it was it was cold I, commented one of my favorite rock crawlers I could just tell you now if you want to see
Great video. This was my first time seeing anything of yours and I decided to sub. I hope all is well with you and yours; it must be great to be able to look back at videos like this before looking at your child.
nice vid. glad to see your doing more reviews on higher end rc's. And abby looks like it's getting close to that special day. congrad's to the both of you.
I'm building this kit right now (the K5 Blazer)! Can't wait to get it out on the trails!! ANNND... SUPER stoked to have found your channel!!! :D #subbed
Over the next couple days we've got more trailing style of videos coming out, so you should be set :-) Appreciate the feedback / requests for video styles Chad, have a great day!
Oooh, sorry but I'm a little chatty today. I have watched your channel for about 2 or so years now, and I love rc. Seen all kinds of rc's you awesome 2(3) have reviewed. I don't mind the cheaper or smaller branded products, in fact I have one or two of those as well as the bigger brands but you often pay more for the bigger brands because of the quality, support, research and development (and advertising) etc. your reactions show though that great quality rc's go a long way and there is a lot to be said for them. I'm not a label or brand person because if something is good it's good, if it puts a smile on my face, doesn't break every 5 seconds, then I'm a happy man. That said I've only ever mostly owned land vehicles as that is what I enjoy. Love this crawler even though I've never had one.........but maybe it's on the cards now.......if my wife says it's ok, lol. Happy wife happy life!
No problem Ryan, happy to hear from you! I know we filter a LOT of bad products on our channel, but that is sort of the point with that. Hopefully we are saving people from buying the bad stuff. One of our favorite moments is when we find something for cheap, that sort of just rocks! So we share that with everyone on TH-cam :-) We agree, you generally get what you pay for, but in some cases that isn't true. I've paid nearly $1,000 for drones before that in my opinion aren't worth $5 so we love saving people money on that end of the spectrum as well. As long as you're having fun, that is the main thing. You said it so well. This truck, yes it's a bit more expensive, but it does perform SO WELL, and it's actually worth that slightly higher price tag. Have a great day Ryan, and thanks for chatting with us :-) -Nate
Nice rig. Now you're playing my game, I don't care how fast they can go, I always want to know "how slow can it go." I too am a big fan of the Honcho. I've been eyeballing and wanting a Honcho since the original one, then they discontinued it. They fairly recently released the SCX10 II model and I'm drooling again. I think this Vaterra Chevy looks better than the Honcho though. First thing I'd probably do is get some beadlocks for it. I've always liked the flatbed look and have been planning to cut the bed off my ECX Barrage gen1 and build a wooden flatbed for it. The D-rings on the bumpers are for hooking tow straps or chains too. So when you go up a hill and Nathan can't make it up with his new truck you just hook up a tow strap and pull him up :>
Take it easy guys this is a hobby that i enjoy and so do others insults and other harsh words aren’t helping this hobby some people know more about certain things than others but don’t show your ugly side just merely point out things in a casual way. I see way to many people leave this hobby because of people that insult others for simply just started to learn about this hobby . That being said be kind and play nice i do subscribe to this channel and after watching that Vattera I’m probably going to buy one for a friend for X-mas. Good job RC Saylors!
Now thats sooo cool! Great review, way to go abbster! I kind of thought that for the price tag it should be brushless, but then again.. Its just frickin awesome so for a crawler, brushless wouldn't make much sense. I did like the reverse up hill parts. I also would have liked to see a high low switch, just because.
Really great review, showing the fun that can be had with a bit of a hill and a trail truck. Me and my buddy regularly walk 3 miles plus around a MTB downhill track and have a bundle of fun trailing/crawling. If you want to review an awesome budget trail truck / crawler, try the WL Toys 10428B! Modified mine into a beast ☺
I think we actually have the standard, non "B" version of that truck. It'd be so much fun to mod, but even out of the box we really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for tuning in Owen!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
i have the vaterra Bronco and that truck is a beast! i run that truck in water,mud,snow anything and its still going with the original parts! in Quebec Canada, vaterra are not really love but for me its the best truck i have… only one thing dont forget to put grease on those diffs! Enjoy your truck! i guess you also know that you can make that truck a blazer by stretching the adjustable frame….
On a baker's pay it's gonna take a while. At least I got a screaming deal on e bay on another wl toys 12428 $30.00. Comes with 2 batteries. Im so glad you had that video with you and Abby showing the truggy. Been having a good time with it. K and I are so happy about your new baby.Give Popeye a hug from us.
Nick and Abby I like your videos yur cool people 👍😎 so one of my crawlers is the Vaterra Ascender 72' Chevy Suburban I'm thinking about getting the body kit like yours and painting it the race orange I also have a Heng Long Atlantic yacht I found you 2 watching boat videos, stay cool and congratulations on your baby the deadbolt is a good idea for him/her, bye for now zoom zoom 😎
I love my ascender. I added a Bec, front lights and roll bar lights. The Bec is the best upgrade you can do for this truck
I just picked one of these up today. I found it at my LHS & had watched this video a couple days ago & this thing looks even better in person! Charging the battery now cant wait to try it out!

Awesome, amazingly close to scale crawl!
Wow! My first truck was a 1972 C10. Drove it all through college, sits retired out on my dads land to this day. Great truck Abby!
Such a great looking truck. Jealous that you got the drive the Real Thing Dustin. Have a great day!

Your review of the WLtoys 10428 was one of the reasons I bought it, no regrets what so ever.
That thing is SICK. Great score Abby!!!
Congrats on your 150K guys. Amazing! You deserve it and more. Wickedly awesome rig Abby. Enjoy it.
What a amazingly well detailed rig!!!☺👍👊
Absolutely love this thing, even right out of the box!
Just FYI, the “35T” on the motor means it is a 35 turn motor, not a 35 tooth pinion.
I thought the same when he said that, it made me cringe.
I've watched many of these videos and generally enjoy them because I'm curious about what's out there in the rc world. But I must say... These two often say some cringe worthy things that makes it clear they aren't true RC purists.

That doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't true RC purists, it just means they are still ignorant about a few things.

Crazy nice! Congrats on a great pick Abby!
Thank you very much Edward!
Thank you guys for the tips on your vids..... Bought 4 cars while watching your vids.... Thank you again

Excellent choice Abby. This truck is definitely a keeper.
Love the look of that truck :-) Way to go Abby, great choice. PS just letting you guys know i don't comment on all the videos but still watch and enjoy them all ;-)
Have you ever had any battery leakage in your remotes..?? What do you suggest please??
That was awesome!! I am putting it on my Amazon list right now
Smart move ;-) It'd make a really great Christmas gift!!!
I like that you're is happy no cuss words it's just a really good channel
Thanks Logan 😁👍😎⚓

Yeah it's that time of the year when we really like to pick up some nicer trucks :-) Only 4 weeks and counting! Thanks Jerry!
I LOVE THAT!!! Old Skool for me any day
Glad you like this truck too Harlows! We'll have another video on it tonight, in about an hour or so ;-)
This will be my first R/C 4 wheeler thanks. I’m a flyer. What a cool truck🥰.
Wow nice Vaterra! The Ascender Suburban comes out in mid November, looks awesome 👍
Yeah it's pretty exciting :-) Can't wait to see that thing in action!
My dad had 72 GMC and this is my favorite truck of all time. If I had the cash I'd definitely get this.
Maybe you could find one second hand roo! It's worth it just to have it proudly on display at your house :-)
There are cheap mods that really improve its climbing abilities. Thanks for the video.
I'm building this kit right now (the K5 Blazer)! Can't wait to get it out on the trails!! ANNND... SUPER stoked to have found your channel!!! :D #subbed
Gosh o mighty I want one . Congrats to you Abby on the new rc saylor baby. God bless
That new baby come with batteries,,,?? Lol
The truck looks nice! 👍👍👍👍👍
Now actually get a couple trucks out and hit the trail!! I wish you guys did more trail/scale/rock crawler reviews!
Over the next couple days we've got more trailing style of videos coming out, so you should be set :-) Appreciate the feedback / requests for video styles Chad, have a great day!

That's awesome Joe :-) Have a great day my friend!
That is one awesome crawler. I have always drive Chevy pick ups.
Nice video! Great choice! Definitely interested!
Just love this thing :-) We'll have another video on it pretty soon!
That’s a nice truck!
Good old Vaterra Ascender. Horizon Hobby was dumb as hell to discontinue it. I still have mine and it's a solid beast!!
Awesome truck
i have the vaterra Bronco and that truck is a beast! i run that truck in water,mud,snow anything and its still going with the original parts! in Quebec Canada, vaterra are not really love but for me its the best truck i have… only one thing dont forget to put grease on those diffs!
Enjoy your truck! i guess you also know that you can make that truck a blazer by stretching the adjustable frame….
Great choice Abbi...looks a lot fun!
Nice to hear you pronounce al-yoo-min-e-um properly too 😉
Awesome!
Very nice crawler. Way better than that other so called crawler you got in the last video.
I hear ya, and totally agree :-)
Super awesome video
Thanks Joseph :-)
That’s hilarious the video I was just watching before this one was the same truck, it’s a good rig! 👍😎

Nice truck i like it
Abbey you definitely chose the best truck out of the two 👍
with a Vaterra Ascender you‘re definitely in some serious scale crawler stuff..!
