I'm obsessed with my Ascender.....the k5 blazer really makes it cool.....I have other brands of rc trucks and love em but the Ascender is my favorite Great video
On that remote u can turn the steering rate up. The little knob in front of the steering wheel is how u adjust it. Turn it all the way up. U will have a lot more steering
Need to water proof that bec if you plan on doing any type of trailing where there is water barely got a few drops on mine and shut my car off.. but started working again after it dried out
I have the vanterra ascender bronco but I put the trx4 portal axles on had to put a 20 turn motor in and install a 27t pinion and 78 spur gear in it but I love it
Can you comparison video with matching bodies and matching tires would be awesome. That silver body looks killer. Great video bud. Edit; aw man didn’t know you’re giving it away
Love the video Ben. I like the kind words more people need to live by them. I love that Chevy Blazer body. Still saving them pennies. Hope to be joining the rc crowd soon. Keep it real.
My family annually gos to moab utah and i am very excited to bring my trx-4. Last year i brought my summit and i climbed hells gate with it. Its what i look forward to all year
Honestly I have both. To truly compare the two you need to have the same tires. I say the ascender with shitty tires competed with the trx 4 with true crawler tires. My ascender outperforms my trx 4 sport on a real crawling environment everytime and I freaking love my trx and hate to say that. Especially how much more money I have in it
@@BuyitBreakitFixit hey man I love them both and the trx is great but the ascender is a beast. Both very good rigs though and both have a few things that need addressing. Good video bro
Haha. I too like the blazer body. I have mocked it up on the trx4 and it looks like it fits without issue. Just need the body holes in a different position than on the ascender.
End points for the Ascender, as on all r/c, is done on the transmitter. Specifically on the DX2E there is a knob to the right of the steering wheel that adjust steering end points. Also since I'm here I've watched just about every video you did on the TRX4 in anticipation of getting mine. Already painted a clear body, yes Traxxas includes window masks. Also switched out to a more scale wheel and tire set. Which brings me to my point. While the Incision wheels look nice, there a six lug bolt pattern, while Land Rover has always used five. Just sayin'. Giving you a big thumbs up!
Thanks for posting that. Later that day I found the knob to the right and man what a difference. The wheels on the trx4, yeh , I know. I just couldn't pass them up. I will be hunting scale wheels very soon. Thanks skippy.
+dazgreen106 that's great, glad I could motivate you and your son. Tips, make it tough, it will only be a matter of time before it's not a challenge for you, so make it hard to navigate.
awesome, thanks for the comparison nice run. the Ascender is a great truck, they both have their pros and cons so everyone should just get both haha : )
Just stumbled on this video. Great channel dude. One question is there isn't much love for the vaterra ascender? Not a lot of videos about it on TH-cam?
I think there is a pretty good ascender following. It is a great truck, very capable. At the time this was just one I had to compare to. Honestly, when I did this video, I had no idea what the heck I was doing with crawlers. Hahaha thanks for checking it out. Btw, my dad still has this ascender so it is still in my arsenal of rc. Might have to get it and do a video with it.
@@BuyitBreakitFixit i had never heard of vaterra until a couple of weeks ago. I picked up a used ascender off ebay. Just waiting on delivery. I have had scx10 and other crawlers In the past so I can't wait to try this ascender out. Bit late to the party hahaha oh well. Keep up the great content
Sweet rigs. Great video. Whats that custom blue pick up on shelf in beginning? I haven't seen that video yet ;-) I just did internal adjustments on my spektrum DX6i.. Its a awesome transmitter. So many options of internal adj. set ups. I'll be building a sweet course as well. Got a sick top for my trx4 in the works also..Keep up the great work man. I'll be back airing vids soon. Just have to finish a big renovation on my house. Work all day then come home and work all night..No time for rc's lately. But got some sick stuff to let out here soon ;-)
Thanks man. The blue truck is my 4x4 slash that I made my road vehicle. I will have it on a video soon. I understand the renovation of the house, I was doing that not long ago myself. Be here when it's done. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us.
Nice Video Mr Ben. It seems that at similar upgrades, Ascended would perform better....For the castle creation program card, you will be able to adjust the throttle and drake brake of you ESC, you can, also, adjust voltage of your BEC.
I would suggest for a future challenge, at least get 2 vehicles that are evenly matched!!! Same tires, steering fixes otherwise your just comparing apples to oranges. For someone like myself who is shopping between the Traxxas TR4 and a Ascender F -100 and which one to choose this video just help much. Good looking Blazer though. Tires and steering were a big problem in this challenge. Thumbs up an encouraging us to lift anyone spirits through the hobby of RC. Happy Trails!!!
+Scott Harris thanks. Yeh it was just what I had on hand. I am so new to the hobby that I had no clue what I was doing. Haha. Everyday I'm learning. Thanks for not being hard on me about it. Always positive.
Yes, I know all about being a newbie. Just purchased my 1st RC back in Oct 2017. A Kyosho Blizzard FR. I to am just learning. Just order a lot of upgrades to it. Last time I built any models was way back pre 1980. I am looking for another truck that I can add on a snow plow on to it here in Utah. Looking forward to the next snowfall!!! Looking forward to more of your videos. C-YA
+Scott Harris sweet. Yeh we all are newbies at some point. Yeh the snow plow would be really cool. I don't get much here in VA but I gave the ascender to my dad who lives in PA and gets plenty. That would be a nice addition for him.
#233 I'm using the same tire wheel combo on my Coyote I Method/Bfg's I love them did you ever try them on the Ascender? This was a excellent one on one comparison pacted with useful info visual and verbal well done my brother. Did you happen to build those wooden obstacles??👍👍
Thanks for your response, perhaps you have a pictures tout show me how to connect this bec as i don't make a mistake....... Thanks a lot in advance King regards
Great video Ben,nice crawling,and I have a question,do you run foams in your tires,I personally do not run foams,sealed wheels,and no foams,equals great tire flex and grip,just a fyi,no air holes in the wheels,air holes,equal to much tire flex,and add instability,on steep climbs and decents,plus they allow water in,and foams don't allow enough tire flex,my rig is 11.4 pounds,and I run no foams,with no problems,the only tires that I have with foams are my Mickey Thomsons,and the only reason they have foams,is because they are big tires,with small wheels,so there is alot of tire sidewall,too much sidewall,so they actually need the foams,or else they would be completely flat,under the weight of my TF2.like I said just fyi, :) And as always,great video Brother.
+JC R.C. I am currently running the foams that come with the tires. I am going to try it with no foam and see how it does. Thanks for the advice brother. Always learning new thungs.
+JC R.C. I just took the foams out of the super swampers and man what a difderence. The only big thing i noticed was the slop in the sudewall now when pushing side to side, but i guess rhats why crawlers run beadlocks.
So a factory stock ascender doesnt yet have it's full potential for steering angle because of the esc needing to be programmed? I just ordered an ascender yesterday when horizon had then on sale for 199. And reply would help. I'm competing against my buddies trx4. Hell, we may even do a video
Thanks for commenting and watching. The Ascender was for my father and I didn't know how exactly to set up the endpoints and stuff at the time. The ascender is a beast of a crawler and is a very capable rig. Go get that trx4 and if ya do a video, send me a link.
Sweet video Ben, the Blazer looks identical to team Baxter's old rig he had that he did a build series for, is it the same rig? Either way wicked rigs and vid
Your tires for the trx 4 look hard like they dont flex well i would remove the foam or if you have seperate dual stage you can take out the hard foam for more flex and traction
+Server Six I am going to be experimenting with all that you have mentioned. They have stick foams right now. They flex really good so far. I have seen them flex down almost to the rum. But I will try with no foams and see how it does, I am a noon and do not claim to know it all. Thanks for the advice. 👍
The Vaterra is a nice truck, I've seen some with upgrades that'll go anywhere. I like all rock climbers. I try to get all my people an friends into rc's. I don't have much but I do what I can.
Hello, is the BEC makes work just the steering servo or the ESC too?? Sorry for my bad english..... I have a trx4, i put on it a savox 1210sg Who could works under 7.4v but il don't know how to do.. Thanks for your help and your great vidéo!!
Buy it Break it Fix it, I was skipping through some videos an heard your voice you sounded like one of my friends. I ended up watching the trx4 and vatera an I liked your video ended up subscribing, I'm watching some of your old give aways. Hopefully I get to be in one sometime in the future. I love the trx4 I'm trying to save up for one now.
I own both of these trucks and i have over 1k into my trx4 and it can not even get close to touching my Ascender I run 1.9 proline over sized tsl super swampers on both. Ascender's only upgrade is tires and 35t tekin motor.
The Ascender (the short wheelbase K10) is lighter and I think it can go some places the TRX-4 has trouble getting to, I love the TRX-4 too but its a bit on the heavy side as well as being top heavy, but has tons of bells and whistles to play with. You can just modify them to suit your needs too if you really want. Just pick the body you prefer, they're all pretty great.
Yep I agree. After the video, I took the foam out of the tires. Let's put it this way, I'm doing another video on the comparison. It's night and day difference.
My man your channel is thorough and to the point ppl will like this. You need a blow video..should buy a less expensive rc and do something outrageous (not click bait) to get the views up & subs. Just a thought. Love the vids the way they are just an idea
Ascender is much better than SCX10-2. don`t change it. SCX10-2 have just nicer package, but it is worst in so many cases ( build quality ) . If you change tires, servo and shocks, Ascender will rocks.
Lybra19JTD What tyres, servo and shocks do you recommend Lybra? I'm new to all this and watching as many vids like this as I can for ideas. Saw a few Ascenders in action and they're a good performer. Thanks in advance.
depends on vhat you want to use them.If you have defender and hilux, so 100mm tires will be perfect ( dirtgrabber, tommahawk, mudtrashers ) - scale looking, good A/T performance, 105mm and more: hyrax, pittbull rock beast, genius2, DC Funcountry2 -all soft compound, medium: iROK, baja claw, trailbusters, duratrax tires. Maybe are better tires as I mentioned, but i forget or not try them. But still keep in ming, softer compound will give you bigger traction, but at the same time less stability. Medium compound will be less sticky, but will better support stability for weight of your RC. Than you choose size based on look you want to achieve: scale, crawler or monster (1.55/1.7/1.9 rims,tire diameter from 74mm-125mm, tire windth 25-40mm ) also are wheels different: frist glued - tire is mounted by gluing to rim, beadlock - central ring and side rings are screwed together to fix tire. Than can be plastic and aloy, than with hex adaptor or pin adaptor, than with offset 0mm/+3/+6mm.
i put them on my FJ45flatbed (4,5kg ), but insert were too soft, so i change them, otherwise i will have like completely flat tires. They are good competition tires, but really price for that is that don't support weight too good.
Buy it Break it Fix it Sorry I keep asking questions but i like to know as much as possible before getting something. So I looked back at all your videos and I couldn't find what kind of light bar you have. Thanks
I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge, and love getting comment or questions on my videos. The light bar is Pro line 4inch light bar. I was running low on cash and it was the one I could afford that day. I have thought about the curved one many times.
Get the Maxxis treps men!!! Best tire ever to off road and street! I have test many tires men and trust me, the treps are amazing! Check out mine 🍻🤣🙋🏻♂️
The wheelbase on the trx4 is longer so it climbs taller obstacles easier, my son's Everest 10 was only 140$ and it out climbs my 400$ ascender on certain obstacles because it's wheelbase is like 2 inches longer.
Buy it Break it Fix it thanks, I knew it was an rc but I just wondered if in other countries that model truck was called ascender. For example Toyota Hilux. Here it's called a Tacoma. First time I heard of a Hilux I was stumped. Didn't know what one was. But thanks for the response. Looking into buying a defender myself.
Another great video, I like to dueling crawlers. Though, I may be biased, but I still gotta give it to the Trx-4....Oh and hey, I finally got the first video out. Take a look and let me know what you think? th-cam.com/video/Yo7a8N35Vkw/w-d-xo.html
i like the trx4 more, nice details on it, great work. Its a realy great crawler, goes every place you want it. Perfect for beginners, too.
+J S thanks. I like the trx-4 also. Thanks for watching
I'm obsessed with my Ascender.....the k5 blazer really makes it cool.....I have other brands of rc trucks and love em but the Ascender is my favorite
Great video
Thanks. Yeah, I gave the ascender to my father, he lives it.
I’ve wanted one for along time. They look awesome
Darn, I wish I had a RC playground. Looks really cool.
Dan Nguyen how do you like your trx-4
I haven't recieved it yet. He shipped it on Monday though, so It should arrive.
Dan Nguyen Just in case you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands for free and I would even pay shipping! Haha 😎
Lol ok sure.
The tyres made a huge difference when you changed them on the Ascender. I'm starting to like this little truck.
+squareblueorange thanks. Yeh I did much better with some decent tires.
On that remote u can turn the steering rate up. The little knob in front of the steering wheel is how u adjust it. Turn it all the way up. U will have a lot more steering
Thanks. I just noticed that and boom nice steering. Thanks for the advice
Is that on a factory included transmitter?
Need to water proof that bec if you plan on doing any type of trailing where there is water barely got a few drops on mine and shut my car off.. but started working again after it dried out
I sure did. I plasti-dipped the two ends so water can't get in. Thanks for the info though.
Nothing like your own trail. Nice set up Ben. Content is great. Your doin fine with video.
Thanks man. You enjoying the Teton still?
Great video, love your RC playground Awesome.
Thanks. I'm steadily working on it, adding what I can.
Awesome video excellent trucks
Thanks 👍Appreciate the comment
I have the vanterra ascender bronco but I put the trx4 portal axles on had to put a 20 turn motor in and install a 27t pinion and 78 spur gear in it but I love it
Can you comparison video with matching bodies and matching tires would be awesome. That silver body looks killer. Great video bud.
Edit; aw man didn’t know you’re giving it away
I will bro. No worries. I will get this back off my Dad and do some running videos of it and some comparisons. He never runs it.
Love the video Ben. I like the kind words more people need to live by them. I love that Chevy Blazer body. Still saving them pennies. Hope to be joining the rc crowd soon. Keep it real.
Thanks bro. You will have one soon, I'm sure of it.
That ending was perfect!
Vaterra...Hands Down. The K5 is a BEAST!
I agree, it does great on any terrain.

wow. IF you are mounting the k5 body on the trx4, pls make a video on it.
That silver Chevy Body looks so good ! Will it fit on the TRX4 with modifications? Id love to see it !
+egresk1 thanks. I think it will fit on the trx4 with very little mods
Great comparison, thanks mate!
Love your property by the way!
+Robbert de Rouw hey, thanks so much. Appreciate your comment and your view. The property, I do love it.
Nice Crawlin Challenge the tyres made a huge difference nice job brother ✌ツ👍
Thanks a lot.
Assender give away? Lol I have been wanting a crawler but don't have the funds right now looks really fun awesome videos
No. I'm sorry it's going to be given to my father out of his love of the blazer and out of my love for him hopefully crawling with me.

What shocks would u use for a red car crawler
Proline offers some great scaler shocks
If not, find some trx4 used ones
Jose Martinez probably black shocks?

Lybra19JTD What tyres, servo and shocks do you recommend Lybra? I'm new to all this and watching as many vids like this as I can for ideas. Saw a few Ascenders in action and they're a good performer. Thanks in advance.
depends on vhat you want to use them.If you have defender and hilux, so 100mm tires will be perfect ( dirtgrabber, tommahawk, mudtrashers ) - scale looking, good A/T performance, 105mm and more: hyrax, pittbull rock beast, genius2, DC Funcountry2 -all soft compound, medium: iROK, baja claw, trailbusters, duratrax tires. Maybe are better tires as I mentioned, but i forget or not try them. But still keep in ming, softer compound will give you bigger traction, but at the same time less stability. Medium compound will be less sticky, but will better support stability for weight of your RC. Than you choose size based on look you want to achieve: scale, crawler or monster (1.55/1.7/1.9 rims,tire diameter from 74mm-125mm, tire windth 25-40mm ) also are wheels different: frist glued - tire is mounted by gluing to rim, beadlock - central ring and side rings are screwed together to fix tire. Than can be plastic and aloy, than with hex adaptor or pin adaptor, than with offset 0mm/+3/+6mm.
Ascender is so much better than scx 10-2
Lybra19JTD i put rock beasts on denali beadlocks for my trx-4
i put them on my FJ45flatbed (4,5kg ), but insert were too soft, so i change them, otherwise i will have like completely flat tires. They are good competition tires, but really price for that is that don't support weight too good.
Have had the trx4 great kit just didn’t feel the truck. Same with the scx10.2 but the Ascender what a truck!
Restoring my faith as I've just ordered an ascender haha
what size beadlocks
+G Guild 1.9. Thanks for watching.
Which chasis is longer?
+Derek Couillard think they are around the same. I put the ascender body on the trx and it pretty much lines up. My dad has the ascender now.
You edit your videos with KINE MASTER? Try sony vegas is awesome! :)
+PurpleShadowYT cool. I will look into that
how could I win a car . because I don't have money for one
For LiPo batteries how long do they last. Not for one run but when do they die.
+Chris Neibert I'm not sure on that one. Sorry. I will research it and tell ya in my next video
Buy it Break it Fix it awesome thank you. I tried to research it but I couldn't find anything.
Buy it Break it Fix it Sorry I keep asking questions but i like to know as much as possible before getting something. So I looked back at all your videos and I couldn't find what kind of light bar you have. Thanks
I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge, and love getting comment or questions on my videos. The light bar is Pro line 4inch light bar. I was running low on cash and it was the one I could afford that day. I have thought about the curved one many times.
I got my traxxas trx4 today. So excited!!!
+Chris Neibert awesome, congrats. Have fun.
Get the Maxxis treps men!!! Best tire ever to off road and street! I have test many tires men and trust me, the treps are amazing! Check out mine 🍻🤣🙋🏻♂️
+Land Rover Zone cool, I will check it out. Thanks.
Buy some Gmade tires for the Ascender.And dont add any air too them.
The ascender has been given to my father.
nice vid. try to make your future vids shorter though
Philip Savenkov Savenkov will do. Sorry about that
The wheelbase on the trx4 is longer so it climbs taller obstacles easier, my son's Everest 10 was only 140$ and it out climbs my 400$ ascender on certain obstacles because it's wheelbase is like 2 inches longer.
Derek Hansen yeah, I agree. I have learned a lot since this video. Still new to the hobby. Just over a year now.
I love my wife's E10 such an under rated RC. Wish I could fit another body though.
Give the ascender the leaf spring kit on the real axel the he drives nether and looks like real
Whats wrong with redcat Everest gen 7 for 279.99 looks like a good crawler im happy with it.
mr cr nothing that I know of. Sounds like a good rc to me.
Never heard a Chevy Blazer called an ascender. Isuzu had an ascender but looked like a Honda passport.
Wade Caton it's an rc truck made by axial
Buy it Break it Fix it thanks, I knew it was an rc but I just wondered if in other countries that model truck was called ascender. For example Toyota Hilux. Here it's called a Tacoma. First time I heard of a Hilux I was stumped. Didn't know what one was. But thanks for the response. Looking into buying a defender myself.
Wade Caton cool. Yeah they do great crawling. I bought that one used for my father for 60 dollars. Thanks for watching.
Try siping your foams
The tires that come on ascenders are crap.. with a good set of tires there real competitors against traxxas
I agree. I just got this truck back from my Dad and would like to do a real comparison video. The ascender had super swampers on it in this video.
Another great video, I like to dueling crawlers. Though, I may be biased, but I still gotta give it to the Trx-4....Oh and hey, I finally got the first video out. Take a look and let me know what you think? th-cam.com/video/Yo7a8N35Vkw/w-d-xo.html
