Redcat Ascent Fusion - Is more rear weight better?

[@chris-q8v9u]

I added 62g portal covers up front and moved stock to the rears. Removed inner springs up front, added hair ties and no springs in rear with 60 wt oil at all 4 corners. It is now absolutely amazing up and down. Great videos !

[@rcilluminati26]

Nice! Sounds a lot like my current setup. I’ll have to try no springs in rear. 👍

[@chris-q8v9u]

@@rcilluminati26 I got the idea of no springs from watching a few comp guys. It makes sense as far as crawling goes. I would put springs back in for trail though. In the end I guess it’s all about the driver/owner preference.

outstanding,,, love your editing work,,,, this is a very nice truck, I put supperswampers on mine and green injora inserts , thats all it needed in my nect of the woods, , great truck redcat!!!!

[@rcilluminati26]

Thanks man! I need to get some Swampers to try out here. So many tires, so little time. lol

[@RC.PowerHouse.207]

I have some weight in the resr of my Fusion. But I have substantially more weight up front. Love this truck!

[@gpaull2]

The TNT RC channel has a bunch of free print files that totally transform this truck and make it next level

[@rcilluminati26]

Cool, I’ve seen his channel but need to look into that. Thanks

Nice you can’t beat the Performance of the Fusion & a little bit more weight in the rear definitely doesn’t hurt. I already have 90 mm Desert Lizard shocks set up in drop style.

Jcocnept tusks would also be awesome in this rig. A little more scale looking too.

[@rcilluminati26]

I recently tried the fake Tusks off Amazon and they are seriously good

[@Casitascrawlers]

You definitely have to try the J Concepts Megalithic tires I’ve been running them & they are very close to the Ruptures maybe a little better so that’s saying something.

Im trying to decide which crawler to get for my 1st. I like the basic ascent for the ability to 4 link the front. But i like the Fusion for the motor and brass. Share your thoughts?

[@rcilluminati26]

I’d say that if you’re planning on going all in on mods over time, then start with the basic Ascent and go 4 link with an outrunner and eventually carbon rails, brass etc… If you want to stay lower budget or don’t want to do that much work, you can’t beat the Fusion. I like SOA but I don’t think it makes as much an improvement as other setup and mods.

[@darrylpaarman9100]

@rcilluminati26 I ended up purchasing the Radcat fusion. With megalithics, weighted rainbow beadlocks , dual stage foams. I also purchased the bed in your link. Thanks for your great review of this RTR and looking forward to seeing more.
