The Ascent body is actually a bit different than the regular Kaiju body. We downsized it 10% then added the flares and other details, so if you're trying to 3D print the Kaiju pieces, you might have to downsize them by 10% in the slicer. Haven't personally tried it yet though. Great thorough review!

That's called a dovetail. I've never heard anyone in my life call it a boat tail. That would mean it's normal size in the rear if referring to a boat lol. A doves tall is what it looks like not a boat "tail" lol. I think you made that word up😂

@@JD-tl7ld well this is RC and nobody in my 4 years of rc crawling said that. So it's not an RC term like you said. Even my friends and I deal with guns that crawl RC but nobody has ever said that. It's because it resembles a doves tail actually so we only use that term. The rear end doesn't look Like a bullet so it just makes no sense to most people
@JD-tl7ld10 ай бұрын
@@EverythingOutdoors951 They may not use that term in RC, but it does resemble a boattail bullet. Smaller at the front, wider in the middle, and tapering to a boattail in the rear. I could see dovetail being used. A dovetail is also smaller on both ends, while being wider in the middle. While you have never heard boattail being used in RC, I have never heard dovetail being use either.

That's a nice looking truck you have there , I recently bought a Redcat international scout 11 , you don't see to many redcats over here in the UK 🇬🇧 but I spotted it on eBay a couple of weeks ago at a crazy cheap price so I grabbed it , boxed with everything you would get from new , plus a good charger gens ace lipo and it's !Ike new , I painted a Hilux body in yellow and it's gorgeous, I love how simple it is so different from the more complex trx4 and traction hobby types , it sounds like your car there with a load gear sound runs great and climbs like a mountain goat , I should of bought one years ago , I wish I could show you how the body turned out definitely one of my favourite trucks , love the videos you do , stay safe RCG 🇬🇧

I own nothing but redcats...... I have the ridge Rock, gen 7 gen 8 and a 1st gen kaijuon 6s it's a small 1/8 scale with the 10th scale body only in blue it looks like same body as your sweet ride. I'm going to order the body from this ascent asap. Redcat really did a good job at fair price. As far as I'm concerned they're getting better every year 👍🏻 btw had kaiju 2 years my first basher and I'm proud to say in behalf of redcat I've had zero problems 💪🏻 I've also upgraded everything you can buy in metal aluminum. With super big 5th scale tires a million times better then stock 💪🏻 ty for all you do for us RC hobbiest to learn. I also hot glue locked center diff. Handles like it's on rails😅

I was waiting for your review of this truck. My first ( and only 1/10th scale ) is the Redcat Gen 8 Axe edition. Over the last 2 years, I have beat the crap out of it, and it is one of the best RC's I own. This truck is a great base model to start someone off, but the lack of serious modulation in low speed ( not brushless ) means one of the first changes will be the motor/ESC, pretty costly. By the time an average hobbyist mods this up, it will be about the same price, or more. Love your review, and the lights are killer !! Again, at the price point, it is a great starter rig, no doubt !!

Nice crawler from RedCat, stepping up there game. If this same truck was manufactured from another more reputable source, you would be sure to pay more for it imho. In fact, you have to spend more on tweeking a better truck to your driving preference anyway Ex: axial base camp or Traxxes TRX- 4 sport. This truck gets you in the game, its a nice looking, the price is fair and the options are limitless. Honeslty whats not to like. Enjoyed the vid.👍
