RC ADVENTURES - Mudding, Climbing, Tips & Tricks - CHEVY K5 Blazer Vaterra Ascender RTR

Click to Subscribe! ► bit.ly/JOovvU - I want to do a video that gives you a Radio Control Hobby "experience". My goal while producing this film was to showcase the versatility of these 1/10th scale trail trucks. It doesn't matter the brand (mostly) as most of these rigs that are now provided are really excellent. Its truly mostly personal choice. Some manufacturers of scale RC trucks are
1) RC4WD
2) Vaterra
3) Axial
4) G-Made
5) Tamiya
Each manufacturer listed above offers multiple versions, with multiple options of their 1/10th scale electric 4x4 trucks. You can purchase both "kit" style (which means you must buy all the electronics separately, and assemble the vehicle yourself), or an "RTR" version (Ready to Run - usually you need to buy the battery separate).
The one I am using above, is the Vaterra Ascender CHEVY k5 Blazer.
It is a Ready To Run version, with after-market wheels and tires.
I am powering this rig with a 2s Lipo battery. The wheels are Integy aluminum bead locks, and the tires are 1.9 RC4WD Mudslingers.
I am really happy with this truck, and its a great addition to my fleet!
For more info.. please hit up Google, or post in the video comment section. I do the best I can to answer questions in my films, though I can not answer them all. Google is the quickest way to find resources.

it is so great to see a family hobby. The little man is inspiring and he's watching you Medic. So proud.

[@samuelljackson2125]

I'll have to say I never subscribe to any KZbin channels based on the ridiculousness of most content and people. I find this channel to always be entertaining, informative, and genuine. I became a subscriber because you deserve the recognition and accolades that come along with it. Please continue to champion a worthwhile hobby that gets kids out of the house and brings family dynamics together.

[@claymorgan6066]

can't give a big enough thumbs up for your lil man. I'm 23 and have 3 myself. built them a twin hammers to play with.

[@patricksimpson1173]

Most satisfying thing I have seen in weeks. Makes me miss my ‘81 Late C5. Thank you for this.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jasons5654]

Keep it up .

[@evintacy7272]

Sir I bet you are a proud father as well as you should be!!!! Great video as always Mr Medic👍

[@BlindDude]

how cool, when the scene cuts to a new view at 11:30, you can see his wife and son way in the background through the gap under that rock.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

You may be one of the few who will notice ;) Nice job

[@BlindDude]

[@wackacrackas]

I do not know why these videos are so addicting?! can't stop.

[@silverturd4421]

The thorn birds are groovy!

[@Nytstlker]

You should make a Playlist just of Morris doing things like this intro. This is probably my favorite intro ever!

[@ianharper5131]

It made my day😀

[@selightfritz642]

1:10-121 AWESOME FILMMAKING! What a great producer and director!

[@TeRniZek]

Awesome video!

[@joeybush8163]

I really wanted to thank you for all your videos, because of them my son and i are enjoying the wonderful world of rc rock crawling and other rc's aswell. I used to build and enjoy full scale rock crawling from taking many types of jeeps to k-5 blazers and many others from factory to putting dana 60's, suspension and body lifts, and all the mods you can do on full scale, but it got to expensive and most friends got out of it as we got older and had families, ect. But this RC world lets me revisit my past without the high expense, the far travel to the rock or mud parks. i now can just step out in the back yard. And theres really no danger in it aswell except if i twist my ankle reaching for a flipped or stuck RC. i love your narration and the artistic way you film, you truly have a wonderful talent, you deserve all that is given and worked hard for. i wouldnt be enjoying the world of RC if I had never seen your videos on KZbin, Thanks for all you do, cant wait to see the next video

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you for that wonderful comment :) Glad to be a part of your family time! Really awesome that you can now spend even more quality time with your son, using your imaginations and working as a team. Thats a win, any day!

[@nathan4232]

I live in Calgary to cool to see a great KZbinr from Calgary

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you! Glad to read you enjoy the show :)

[@deletedchannel6733]

So do I also live Calgary

[@littlefarmer32]

So awesome watching our little ones grow.

[@hondafreak8613]

Wd-40 is a good water displacement. Works good for removing water. Traxxas recommends spraying whole rig after driving in water. I have to remove seals from stuck bearings, rinse out with chain lube, repack with PTFE grease and done. Grease with zinc creates a layer of protection even if rinses off

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

Okay, I love the Red Blazer!!! ;)

[@CodyJohnstonbaugh]

You really beat the heck out of that thing! What a tank it is! Great video like always!

[@leehilton7163]

So much cheaper and forgiving than doin that with a full-size truck. Loved how the tires flexed on the rocks, like they were aired down.

[@Nogadgy]

Love it medic, red truck,black truck from your son. Excellent

[@tracap9379]

11:49 you can really see the grip work it's magic

[@kinetix3576]

No its called engineering not magic

[@amylapoint4276]

thank you so much for all of your detailed and entertaining videos. you Sir have inspired me to get back into the R/C hobby again. It had been about 14 years since I had built a kit, after my son was born I sold all my cars. after stumbling onto your videos I was amazed by your scale trucks, so I went out and purchased a Trail finder 2, I had never built an electric kit before, I always had nitro road cars but it was a blast.

[@SethWilcox82]

I own a full size K5 Blazer, love watching these pint size versions in action!

[@devilicous]

Its nice seeing you running an RTR.

[@russellcupples2170]

He's getting so big

[@MichaelSmith-fj3sz]

Anybody else notice he killed the lady bug on the grass around 6:08?😂

[@peterpiper_203]

That video was awesome Great camera views We were actually doing what you did with your model back in the 80's My buddy ran a k5 I still have my 78 Bronco Made videos on hand held vhs cameras Thanks for the flashback

[@michaeldeering798]

Crawlin' like a pro!

[@ztwntyn8]

Great vid. I was especially impressed with the K5 crawling. I didn't think it would get up the last part of the flat rock near the end. Tires likely did a lot for it but either way it worked well. The Sparks ranch is awesome. in my little third acre or so I have about a ton of deco rock piled in a 20' X 4' crawl track and a track to run mine and my son's slashes. Have a nice 180 deg bank curve and a couple of mild jumps. Neighbors tend to get curious when you start tilling the perimeter of the back yard. lol that was funny.

[@connormcleod4355]

5:52 the lady beetle on the peice of grass haha

[@zacharyord8618]

my favorite crawl session so far. I'm a sucker for good tire flex shots. slow and very detailed. legit stuff man!!!!!!

[@Traxxas144]

The ascender is my favorite rigs! It is almost unstoppable!!

[@littlewrangler3]

A BONK! I love this kid!

[@chrisbean1699]

I love that red k5 blazer

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

Cute kid, getting my 8 year old into RC now, and cant wait for my younger two to get into it.

[@DocterJones]

Very cool video man! Love the trucks, but that kid of yours just steals the show! I was just loving it when he re-positioned the camera on his own for the close up! Enjoy these times to the fullest brother our kids grow up too damn fast! PEACE OUT!!!

[@jddd8385]

See you in the mudslingers makes me want to buy some when I get the money LOL

[@TrashPanda2801]

Man those tires look like super swamper boggers, the "mud paddles" as I call them.

[@brandonthompson9957]

High speed servos obviously offer better functionality and more control, but a slower servo definitely adds to the scale theme. Makes everything seem more fluid.. it's quiet satisfying actually

[@2cwik4u104]

those mudslingers are super impressive. I need to get a set.

[@waynegriswold8953]

Nice driving!!!

[@matsolo111]

Ha Ha I love this guys vids ! Dude you are super happy and your trucks and courses are great... keep em coming. I am inspired.

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

Love them Red Wheels!!!

[@ethanwaite4122]

11:31 looks like there is a tiny person walking on the rocks in rhe little hole😂

[@ThatGuy-dn5ie]

[@RCCentralmain]

Ok, the cuteness got me at "Look Datty!" I can tell that he'll love driving RCs when he's older.

[@pixelpusher3589]

Love the little mans camera work and commentary. Put a smile on my dial. 😜 Great little vid with some info and tips thrown in, nice and relaxing! I tend to forget the balance port, or should I say neglect. Cheers for the reminder! Thanks Medic 🤘🏻

[@shanedoyle2260]

Love the commentary throughout the video 🤙🏼

[@rcdad60]

you said it ,MUDSLINGER. they are my favorite rc tires that i believe is a all in one type of tire. love your videos.

[@Kyloam]

stumpjumps4fun look at the traxxas sledgehammer tires

[@Feinstaubgenerator]

That is so awesome! I love it! Keep up the great work!

[@user-qr3pr7is7q]

I'm not an RC guy, but my goodness this was very impressive !!!

[@MajChronic]

Great video. A little tip for protecting connector and balance plugs on your lipo from water is to use dielectric grease. It's a non conductive, silicone based grease designed to seal out moisture and prevents corrosion when applied directly to metal connectors. You can get it at your local CTC.

[@patrickbryan367]

already training a new host I see lol I like the 1.9 sized slinger's

[@xSUPERxDANKxGDP]

Awesome video as always Aaron! I'll never get tired of watching your videos, seriously I watch them every night! I hope someday I can RC with you! Thanks again for getting me into the greatest hobby of all time!
