Vaterra Chevrolet K-5 Ascender 4WD off-road kit

Vaterra introduce the Chevrolet K-5 Ascender 1/10th scale 4WD off-road kit. Resembling one of the most popular 4×4 vehicles of all times, the innovative platform features stamped-steel ladder frames with adjustable wheelbase, a metal gear transmission and a very capable off-road suspension with a 3-link panhard bar front and 4-link rear setup with aluminium links and oil-filled, threaded shock absorbers. The transmission is engineered to handle even high-output power systems and brutal track conditions. A 2-speed transmission is available optionally. 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 tyres extra traction when crawling over rocks and tackling steep inclines. A licensed 1986 K-5 Blazer body and licensed reproductions of Interco Super Swamper tyres are also included.
