I like the hole cutouts for the shocks… 👍🏾💯

[@reefsrc]

thanks man!!

[@Casitascrawlers]

Sorry sir no stock drive for me did a bunch of mods n fixes & had it out & it was amazing. It out crawled all expensive crawlers & went up lines I’ve never completed on its maiden voyage. And by the way thank you for the free lanyard at Proline by the Fire. It’s getting a lot of use. 👍

[@reefsrc]

That is awesome!

[@TThatMythical]

Did the same. You ain't kiddin

[@franktl3423]

Are these bunch of mods n fixes to be found somewhere? 😊

[@JS-ji5bl]

Dude that is awesome what you did with the ascent.. wow it's like a totally different truck.. 🤙🏼✌🏼

[@reefsrc]

Thanks 👍

[@jessicamessinger5296]

Just that simple upgrades helped it out

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

Bro that course is insane freakin awesome reef 👍👊💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@reefsrc]

Thanks man. You’ll have to make it out to a crawl night.

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

@reefsrc bro I would be honored thank you so much 👍 👊 💯 🔥

[@SeanLewisMedia]

They did a great job with that body design. Man those brass servos are gorgeous!

[@reefsrc]

Yes they do

[@judethedude6234]

That is an ugly body style tbh

[@bobbymulwee7641]

1TENTH Scale RC makes a servo on axle mount

[@reefsrc]

Good to know maybe on round two of the build we will try it.

[@aricschneider7019]

Are those 2.2 tires on 2.2 wheels? They look so beefy but look fantastic.

[@reefsrc]

They are 1.9 Proline Trenchers.

[@kjflyte5088]

BDS suspension is the best , had a pair for 5yrs never leaked..(pitbull kronik)..

[@reefsrc]

We love them. They are amazing.

[@wesleybrooks101]

Did the bed from pirate RC just mount right up?

[@reefsrc]

Yeah at the end of the video we show how we mounted it.

[@meirdeaph]

Awesome ❤

[@reefsrc]

🙌

[@jebrc]

such nice parts reefs makes one day ill have me some reefs stuff but as of now id be happy with the stock parts just to keep me crawling thanks for sharing

[@RonBernardino]

Suggestion: run a micro winch in the back to pull down on the rear axle to lower rear cg during descent.

[@Fj707ap]

Sound at the end of the video is missing!!

[@sammygonzalez7627]

You said smaller Pitbull shocks, what size did put in ?

[@reefsrc]

We added 80mm shocks.

[@leecalhoun6863]

Quick question. I bought the pitbull shocks for my ascent after watching this video. The standoffs on the stock shocks seem to be needed unless I run spacers on these. Did you swap the ones from the stock shocks onto these? If so, how did you do that?! Probably a total noob question, lol

[@reefsrc]

We used the stock standoffs. Thanks for watching.

[@leecalhoun6863]

@@reefsrc do they just pop out? I was afraid I was going to break them lol

[@johnnygiles2618]

How hard was it to mount the Rock Pirates hard line bed in? Can you explain it a little more for me if you don’t mind?

[@reefsrc]

we show it at the end of the video. we use the stock chassis brace and mount it to that.

[@Friskee62]

The sound was good, both sides, BUT, when you started talking only one side is working. I always use my headphones for UA-cam. The problem is not my headphones, it is on your end....

[@reefsrc]

Thanks we will look into that.

[@michaelstinson8047]

I am looling for my 1st comp truck should i get this one and do all the mods or should i just go with the vanquish carbo or scx pro

[@reefsrc]

It’s hard to compare the scx pro, and VRD to this. This is a 100 less for a rtr, than those kits. If you have the means I would get the VRD or pro over this.

[@vincevargas7892]

Can't wait to see what upgrades you do to this rig. About killed it in stock form😅

[@rexracer7192]

Does any body know if any of the portal knuckles from any redcat fit wendigo/marksman axles?
Edit: I can't find anything on it anywhere. I was gonna just order the portals and see if they fit, but I figured I'd ask around first.

[@reefsrc]

Hit up redcat customer support they will know.

[@coreymock1659]

Do you think the rock pirate shock towers would fit?

[@reefsrc]

I do not. The holes are different. You could modify it possibly to fit.

[@coreymock1659]

Yeah, they aren't even close to the same size. I'd have to drill holes in the chassis if I wanted to install them

[@Jennslife09]

What size pitbull shocks did you use? 😊

[@reefsrc]

80mm

[@JW-cn6op]

Put a different radio on it and the control will be way better.I have the Fusion Se and its still touchy.The reverse is the worst and yours looks like its about the same.

[@reefsrc]

Might have to swap it for our dx5 pro.

[@SnarkyRC]

Yeah RTR electronics are junk. Definitely a radio from either Futaba or Sanwa. Way better than anything Spektrum makes.

[@GoDodgersGoLakers]

What size are the pitbull shocks?

[@reefsrc]

80mm

[@timothyharris9709]

lost sound at 12.21

[@reefsrc]

Must be a glitch on your end. Double checked it’s all good here. Thanks for watching.
