| durok's 1st (actually driven) Crawler - K10 / was "Ummm..."
Not sure what the heck just happened... Was this a mistake? Well, I'm draggin' this thing inside, damnit (making sure no-one was watchin') Hmmm... It has my name on it? I don't remember doing this.... Did my PC get hacked? I'm missing $450! Hell, I'm openin' it... Awww... Hell - I'm keepin' THIS!!! (peelin' stickers off 'cause I don't like 'em) OK, checked my Amazon account and I musta ordered this in a dream state. I was smart enough to use the 6-month no finance charge method on my Prime card. Even ordered a shorty pack that's been slightly delayed - still supposed to arrive today - that's OK, got some minor cosmetic changes in store... Keeping it mostly stock for now - trying to avoid any more expense, so cosmetic and free functionality mods. I have spent well over a year gathering a kit Bomber and almost every part to replace the original bits. The amount spent was frankly somewhat terrifying, and I have YET to build it. That's kinda silly. I knew next vehicle was to be an Ascender - the K10 is by far my fave, and as it comes RTR and I haven't driven a crawler before - I figure a slow and lightweight rig would be great to start with. I will be running it by Friday after work or Saturday morning at the latest! Can't really procrastinate when all it needs is a battery charge.... The getting outdoors and getting some exercise should make me feel better - and we are pretty close to finally getting a break from hot Texas summer. Hopefully that jolts me into eventually assembling the Bomber - it should be unique from what else I've seen (hopefully). Funny thing is, I already have an unused HH PP 2200kv, an unused new model MMX, and a new ProModeler 470oz-in (heh-heh) and 4 new 3S packs for later (MUCH!) that I COULD use on the K10 - that would require gettin' beefy.... So stoked to finally join the Vaterra Ascender group - fine gentlemen all, but - Standouts include Natedog (for build tips and an endless amount of info), Yeti.stealth (for incredible demonstration vids of climbing ability and the beastliest-looking Ascender, and CODYBOY (for his creating upgrades for a tiny niche market and generosity towards all) (EDIT - Got shorty Lipo later in the evening!) OK, here goes nuthin'! Pics in order: Last edited by durok; 09-17-2017 at 07:21 PM. Reason: Title was utter nonsense initially... |
