Redcat Ascent-18 1/18-scale R/C Crawler Overview

Redcat is getting into the small-scale crawler scene, and I'm here for it! The Ascent-18 is a scaled-down version of the 1/10 Ascent, which is a solid performer in its own right. Does the Ascent-18 live up to its namesake (and the hype)? Let's find out.
The Ascent-18 is priced at $119.99, but for a limited time (through May 1, 2024) you can pick up one of these tiny trucks for only $99.99 through Redcat's launch special.

My blue truck is arriving in a couple hours. Can't wait ta get my hands on it...

I like the fact they put a shelf up front so that things can be moved around, nice little crawler

[@RCplamodel]

Thank you!

[@DTW-bx2vy]

My only gripe is, they should have included a set of soft shock springs in the box or at least sell some with the upgrade parts they offer.

[@rcnewb]

That would have been a good add-on. Very pleased with its performance though, even with the stock springs.

Just got one of these rigs. Charged the battery up and my run time is only 5-8 minutes on average. Seems very low. I’m seeing other people saying they are getting much longer. Also when the battery drains the truck starts to stutter. When under throttle it will go, stop, then go again. Maybe I got a bad battery? Any help would be appreciated

[@rcnewb]

It sounds like either your battery or the charger are bad. I recommend contacting Redcat to see if they can help you out.

[@joshuareece9951]

@@rcnewb thanks man I really appreciate it. It’s so new and reliable there is not a lot of troubleshooting online so I appreciate you taking the time to help. I contacted Redcat and hope the truck is fine and it’s just a battery issue

Too fast for a dedicated crawler, too slow to bash.😢
