    Nice. I got 7 of these so far. Done a bunch of upgrades but also waiting on the aftermarket companies to catch up.

      7. That's got to be a record. Awesome rig. I know the aftermarket companies are hard at work getting upgrades designed as fast as possible.

      @hyperc5249 yeah kept 3. Gave four away to family. Bought 1 Just to toss the axles under my trx4m. The way traxxas should have done the trx4m imo

    You hit this one out of the park!
    Right on!
    I'm torn on the body, i like it for sure, guess I'll have to try it and let it grow on me.
    I'm pretty sure the trx4m gear upgrade fits, so no need to wait.
    The aluminum shock towers are like plastic links and skid.. not a necessity for performance except for durability, but they look so damn good!
    Thank you! Great build.

      I think that this probably beats the Katana. Obviously the Trx4m won't touch it. But the Evo Pro will likely be neck'n'neck.

      What trx4m gear upgrade fits?? The lower crawl ratio gear ....

      @@You_no_viking i had heard that all of the gear upgrades work, over and under, but just received info from a buddy who said that while they fit.. it's not a smooth fit, and he decided not to use them.
      The transmissions seem identical but apparently they are not.
      My apologies.

    Furthermore I added a set of aftermarket wheels tires and super stretched my rear links with custom tubing for all links for a grand total of about 225 dollars rig and all big difference huh?

    I try to install the injora 7kg servo on my ascent 18 but you need to pass the file on the servo attachment because she are too thick. After this you can install the servo but you lost 2 mm of down travel suspension because this servo have 2 mm more thickness than the factory and hit the plastic between the chassis rail.

  • @philadelphiacollins2460
    @philadelphiacollins2460 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    There’s no way you got all of those upgrades for a hundred bucks. You said all of the upgrades would double the price of the rig which is $99, you couldn’t get all of that for $120. The Furitek starter kit is $99. You got at least $300 on that table.

    • @hyperc5249
      @hyperc5249  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Correct, I meant just the Redcat parts. Sometimes, when filming, you can forget to be very specific.

  • @dantrivett8435
    @dantrivett8435 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    More than that just the brass in the front is as much as the rig

    • @hyperc5249
      @hyperc5249  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah. What is meant was the upgrades arectwicevthe cost of the rig. I realized how I said it after the edit. O well I think i still got the point across.

  • @jarreddavidson2649
    @jarreddavidson2649 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah let's put a thousand dollars worth of upgrades in a 99 dollar crawler forget that I'll purchase the ascent fusion for a third of that price just saying

    • @coreyhockman1
      @coreyhockman1 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Lmfao, yeah and the fusion is 1/10 and has nothing to do with this truck or platform.
