Redcat Ascent Fusion RC Crawler Deep Dive - Things You SHOULD Do Before Hitting The Trail

In this video, we dive a little deeper into the Redcat Racing Ascent Fusion RTR. Ready To Run rigs are great, especially for beginners, but they also need some attention before they become a reliable rig. We go over some must-dos on this chassis, which also applies to other RTR platforms.

Good info! 👍

[@turtlelaboratories]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@OGRadGrow]

Great info, especially on Redcat stuff. I had to do the same to my Gen 8. 👍🏾

[@turtlelaboratories]

Thank you! I have heard that about the gen 8s, too!

[@duard8652]

Amazing! Want to do these even before running, while I don't need to wash the dirt and the dust off. And as everyone says, hat off to the stand. Video is great ❤

[@turtlelaboratories]

Yeah it's a good idea before taking it on any hikes. If you get the itch to drive it, you can always give it a wash before working on it! Thank you for watching!

[@Jerroldbubbataylor]

Thanks for the vid always like as much info as I can get about a rig or rigs. Knowledge is power

[@turtlelaboratories]

[@bradgourley2286]

Hey man great video.. Did it take anything smaller than the 1.5 mm tool for any of the screws? I ask because I was trying to get the axle end screws out and my 1.5mm seemed to big lol

[@purepr2010]

Is it ok to use purple thread locker, "low strength"?

[@turtlelaboratories]

I personally don't have any experience with purple thread locker. So, I cannot really speak to that.

[@nitrousoxide4341]

Thank you ​@@turtlelaboratories, awesome video, just what I need.

[@grumpy1469]

[@turtlelaboratories]

I use Lucas red "n" tacky on just about everything that I grease, RC cars and full size cars. You can get some here: amzn.to/3JEAZqj

Very informative. I appreciated your camera angles. All too often videos are just overhead and limit what is visible

Thank you! I try and get in there so you can see everything!
