Vaterra Chevy Blazer "Ascender" scale truck
Horizon have announced the latest Vaterra kit based upon the retro-cool Chevy Blazer truck, with a realistic 'scaler look' but without the high price of some of the offerings out there.
VTR03023 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer Ascender™ Kit £249.99 (RRP) The Chevrolet K-5 Blazer is one of the most popular 4x4 vehicles off all time. This 1/10-scale kit gives you all the hardware necessary to build an RC version that looks and drives like the real thing. At the heart of its incredibly scale performance is the Vaterra® Ascender™ chassis. This innovative platform features stamped-steel ladder frames with adjustable wheelbase, a metal gear transmission and one of the most capable off-road suspensions available. A licensed 1986 K-5 Blazer body and licensed reproductions of Interco Super Swamper tyres are also included. 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 (314mm), 11.9 in (302mm), 11.4 in (290mm) and 10.95 in (278mm). Markings on the frames make wheelbase adjustments easy. Heavy Duty Suspension The chassis has been designed with a 3-link panhard bar front suspension and a 4-link rear suspension. All suspension links are machined from aluminium to handle the most punishing conditions. Oil-filled, threaded shocks soak up the bumps and give you a variety of pre-load settings. 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. 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 tyres extra traction when crawling over rocks and tackling steep inclines.
