Competitive Features in a Ready To Run Package

The Redcat Ascent-18 1/18 4WD RTR Brushed Rock Crawler delivers big performance in a compact, trail-ready package. Built with the same attention to quality and value that Redcat is known for in 1/10 scale crawling, the Ascent-18 brings competitive features to the 1/18 scale market. Despite its small size, it’s packed with premium components typically found on larger, high-end crawlers. Fully Ready-To-Run, this mini crawler is designed to tackle challenging terrain right out of the box.

About the Ascent-18
High Steer Geometry With Portal Axles

The Ascent-18 features redesigned High Steer (HS) geometry that increases steering angle and improves clearance at the C-hubs. Combined with durable portal axles, it delivers greater ground clearance and reduced torque twist for confident obstacle crawling. Metal portal gears, ring gears, and pinion gears ensure smooth, consistent drivetrain performance on demanding trails.

Premium Drivetrain And Chassis Components

Aluminum chassis rails provide a rigid yet lightweight backbone for stable performance across uneven terrain. Ball bearings throughout the vehicle replace traditional bushings for smoother operation and increased longevity. Machined aluminum spools and 7mm wheel hexes help maintain constant traction while allowing compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket wheel and tire options.

Ready-To-Run With Trail-Tuned Electronics

The Ascent-18 comes fully equipped with a powerful 180-sized brushed motor and a precision Hexfly HX-M4K metal-geared micro servo for reliable control. The integrated ESC and receiver unit keeps weight low while maximizing chassis space. A 750mAh 2S LiPo battery, charger, and 2.4GHz radio system are included, so you can hit the trail immediately.
