Scale rock crawling has garnered immense popularity, attracting enthusiasts who relish navigating challenging terrain and conquer obstacles with specialized vehicles. We at Redcat have earned well deserved respect in the 1:10 scale crawling community by offering high-quality competitive vehicles at a reasonable price. With the Ascent-18, we have brought the same level of quality, performance, and affordability found in our 1:10 scale crawlers into the 1:18 scale crawler market. While this small 1:18 scale crawler may fit in your hand, it is extremely capable and boasts high-end features typically found in larger-scale competitive crawlers.
The Ascent-18 features ball bearings, hex drive hardware, portal axles, impressive steering angle, aluminum chassis rails, metal ring and pinion gears, machined aluminum spools, metal portal gears, 7mm wheel hexes, powerful 180-sized motor, precision metal geared micro servo, aluminum capped oil filled shocks, 750 mAh 2S LIPO battery pack, and of course a Redcat 2.4Ghz radio system. We also launched a complete line of performance hop-up parts that are available for the Ascent-18. We think you’ll be excited to see which performance parts we’ve decided to offer, as we think it will bring the already capable Ascent-18 to a whole new level.
