  • The @RedcatracingAZ Ascent 18 Is The Best Mini RC Crawler For The Money. Big thanks to Redcat Racing for the quick shipping during their busy product launch!
    Shop Redcat HERE: www.redcatracing.com/?ref=ctn...
    At $119.99 ($99.99 launch price until May 1, 2024) this mini crawler is a serious value proposition. The Redcat Ascent-18 RC Crawler is a 1/18 scale Brushed Electric Rock Crawler
    that includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, making it Ready to Run (RTR).
    But the value doesn't stop there. 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. These are high-end features typically found in larger-scale competitive crawlers, and more expensive 1/18 RC crawlers. Not even our Traxxas TRX-4M RC models come with ball bearings and metal gears.

    It is very capable right out of the box! Although, I broke it in the first half hour because it rolled 30 feet down my granite dome. My fault, not the truck! it snapped 1 plastic lower arm. Ordered the gold aluminum links and center section and extra ball studs and battery. Another $89 but shipped quickly and good to go. I have a Rockslide RS10 that will go almost vertical on the granite and this little truck does awesome too.
    Will have to get video. th-cam.com/video/EGhQ7c1NO0o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2svu0bI2Sn4m5FGt

    No brainer for starting price. In the US that is. If and when we can buy this in Europe it most probably will be about twice the price 😮😢

    • @squatcrew

      Oh yes, it most likely will 😞

  • @NuteIlaTaco

    Is it better then the scx24?

    • @squatcrew
      @squatcrew  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I wouldn’t say necessarily better, but maybe a better value due to features and performance, depending on which model it’s compared to. We love our SCX24 deadbolt and Jeep JLU v3, and those out of the box are good but I think the ascent 18 is a better performer out of the box compared to them. But spend some money on a few basic mods on the SCX 24 like we did and it’s an even playing field. But again that’s the key - spending more to gain more in SCX24. But that’s part of the hobby isn’t it lol.

    • @bowtastic1896

      They’re running a stock truck that offers features and performance comparable to popular competitors (eg, Axial, FMS, Traxxas, Hobby Plus). For example, the TRX4M models are great stock, but doesn’t even come with ball bearings like the Ascent 18, and I see many owners purchase bearing kits anywhere from $20 to $40. And if you watch this channel, even they installed sealed bearings in their Trx4M Defender, and I think their High Trails too. And the TRX4M have plastic gears, the Ascent-18 has metal gears. And the TRX4M steering servos are known to fail, I think this channel replaced their Defender’s servo with a Reefs RC servo, while the ASCENT-18 servo seems to be a little stronger, stock. People seem to like the Flysky electronics better in the Ascent 18 than the TRX4M - also smoother throttle input, better slow crawl. They are not wrong in their claim for a stock RC - numbers don’t lie, and the Ascent’s performance and features compared to other mini crawlers make it a great value in stock form.

  • @chriskryder2994
    @chriskryder2994 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow comparing the most expensive trx4m at $159. To a $99. Redcat your bassis for this video is bullshit the trx4m IS NOT IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE. UNLESS YOU THINK 59% MORE IS THE SAME THING.
    WOW

    • @tundrasr5709
      @tundrasr5709 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think they were just showing the trx4m for a size comparison.

    • @bowtastic1896
      @bowtastic1896 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They’re not wrong. Many other TH-cam channels talking about the same thing. the Ascent 18 is in the mini crawler category that happens to be competing with the SCX24, TRX4M etc.. So naturally many TH-camrs are comparing the Ascent-18 to popular brands in the same category. Besides, $99 is just Redcat’s launch price, goes up to $119.99 May 1, which puts it closer to a popular mini crawler like the SCX24 Jeep JLU v3, which is around $125’ish. So with the features and performance you get with the Ascent-18 that’s comparable to the competition, it seems to be a good value. No idea what you’re so angry for

      Yup, no licensed or hard body but it includes extra body posts in the box for those that want to change it up.
