Default 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:
