About the Ascent-18

Brushless Power and Precision Electronics

At the heart of the Ascent-18 is a high-performance 3450kv brushless motor, paired with a 3-channel receiver/ESC combo for smooth and responsive control. This setup provides ample torque and wheel speed to conquer demanding terrain. Complementing the motor is a 4kg coreless metal-geared micro servo, ensuring precise and reliable steering even under pressure. Combined with a 2.4GHz 3-channel radio system and 750mAh LiPo battery, the electronics package offers extended run times and plug-and-play convenience.

Advanced Suspension and Steering Geometry

The Ascent-18 is fitted with aluminum-capped oil-filled shocks that deliver smooth, tunable suspension for superior trail handling. Redcat’s “High Steer” (HS) geometry redesign improves steering angle and ground clearance at the C-hub, enhancing obstacle clearance and maneuverability. Portal axles, metal ring and pinion gears, and machined aluminum spools add strength and durability while maximizing performance. The 7mm wheel hexes allow easy customization with aftermarket wheels and tires.

Durability, Customization, and Compatibility

Redcat built the Ascent-18 for longevity and flexibility. The aluminum chassis rails provide a rigid backbone, while ball bearings throughout the drivetrain boost efficiency. The front tilt body simplifies maintenance and eliminates body clips with a quick-lock system. With parts compatibility across the Scout-18, MT-18, and other Redcat platforms, upgrades and repairs are easy. A wide range of hop-up parts in brass, steel, and aluminum let you tailor performance and appearance to your style and needs.
