Overview
Redcat has 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, Redcat brought the same level of quality, performance, and affordability found in the 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. Redcat also launched a complete line of performance hop up parts that are available for the Ascent-18.

- The included high quality 2.4Ghz radio system offers dual rates, channel reversing and trims for precision control. The receiver and ESC, which are built into a single compact unit, keep weight to a minimum and also maximize this tiny crawler’s chassis real estate.
