In the world of scale RC off-road trucks, close enough just won’t cut it. Bodies must look authentic and the chassis has to be able handle anything a full-scale truck could. This 1:10-scale kit gives you the hardware necessary to build a rugged RC version of a lifted Chevrolet K-5 Blazer that delivers all that and more. At the heart of its incredibly scale performance is the Vaterra Ascender chassis. This innovative platform takes scaler technology to new heights with features like stamped-steel ladder frames, an adjustable wheelbase, a metal gear transmission and one of the most capable off-road suspensions available.
Licensed 1986 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer Body
The clear, polycarbonate body is modeled after one of the most popular K-5 Blazers ever built. Scale touches include an injection-molded grille with headlight details and authentic Chevrolet badging. A set of detail stickers is also included.
Crawler Style Bumpers and Rock Slider Side Bars
The front and rear bumpers feature molded tow hooks. An opening on the front bumper leaves plenty of room for a winch cable. If you want to try different 1:10-scale bodies later on, the side bars and bumpers can be moved to accommodate most of them.
Heavy Duty CV Front Shafts
As with the rest of the drivetrain components, these have been designed to handle rugged terrain. They also allow up to 45 degrees of steering angle more than many other trucks in this class.
Floating Battery Tray
The battery tray floats over the front axle and is designed to accept 96mm shorty packs. Placing the weight of the battery over the front axle gives the front tires extra traction when crawling over rocks and tackling steep inclines.
Metal Gear Transmission
The single-speed metal gear transmission is engineered to handle high-output power systems and brutal conditions. Those seeking a little more flexibility for different types of terrain can upgrade to the optional two-speed transmission, sold separately.
Sticky Compound Licensed Interco Super Swamper Tires
The realistic drivetrain and suspension are complemented by licensed replicas of Interco TSL SX Super Swamper tires. Like the full-scale versions, their tread pattern and compound provide excellent grip at almost any angle.
Stamped-Steel Ladder Frames with Adjustable Wheelbase
Steel, C-channel frames form the backbone of the Ascender chassis and give you four wheelbase lengths to choose from: 12.36 in (314 mm), 11.9 in (302 mm), 11.4 in (290 mm) and 10.95 in (278 mm). Markings on the frames make wheelbase adjustments easy.
