Ascent-32 RC Crawler: Brass Hubs + Diff Cover & Rear Weight Removal for 60/40 Balance

Brass upgrades + free mods that transform the Ascent-32 RC crawler’s balance — here’s how I achieved a perfect 60/40 front weight bias for better climbing and control. In this video, I show exactly how to upgrade and rebalance the Ascent-32 RC crawler for improved performance on the rocks. We’ll install brass hubs and a brass differential cover, then make a few free modifications to remove unnecessary rear weight. The result? A 60/40 front-bias weight distribution that drastically improves traction and climbing stability. Want to get these parts?
