    Great job on that build. It brings a whole new vibe to the platform. Cheers!

    Second time watching. I like the mods you did, definitely cool that you create these things and make them available online.
    I don't have the option for my own prints, maybe could get a friend to print the parts (probably not the body as they aren't that good).
    Been finishing up my SCX24 builds long overdue.
    I've got a SCX24 2 speed towtruck rig with a 4 wheel drive gooseneck trailer (both have the same transmission and gearing, the trailer has its own motor and trans, and a ton of battery mah).. not finished yet, big project.
    Been loving the Asc18! It's nimble, and has a balance that is great, but also seems to keep me having to focus on a specific drive style, a bit different than my other rigs.
    When i get to modding it, i want to use that body you designed if it's ever available.
    Thank you, and have a great week!

      I do plan to make the body available. I need to improve the nose mount and then will include all of the parts for the truck in one package specific for the Ascent 18. Six months ago I didn’t have a printer. Three months ago I had never designed a part. It’s opened up a whole new aspect of the hobby. Making some videos now and then rounds it all out for me.
      I really like the Ascent 18 as it gives plenty of warning when you’re getting close to tipping. Very forgiving to drive in my opinion.
      If you have a FCX24 I’ll make a video about the shock mounts I designed for it soon.

    I have been looking for someone that makes 3D printed crawler parts but the only people who do this is only people on Facebook & I do not use any social media besides UA-cam. Do you know of anyone else that makes fully custom made 3D crawler parts for your crawler rig of choice, that does not use Facebook to sell?

      I bought some bumpers here and they look pretty good - www.etsy.com/shop/PunishmentRC
      Maybe check Etsy and eBay as people keep coming up with good mods for these.

    Do you have a link to the body?

      I printed this at 50% and glued pieces together. Has taken a lot of tumbles and is very solid: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532450
