This is the Ascent-18 1/18 RTR 4WD Rock Crawler from Redcat. Embrace the thrill of scale rock crawling with the Ascent-18, a high-performance crawler that brings the excitement of larger-scale models into the compact 1/18 scale. Packed with features typically found in larger-scale crawlers, the Ascent-18 offers enthusiasts a capable and affordable option for tackling challenging terrains and obstacles.

Portal Axles

The portal axles incorporated into the Ascent-18 crawler provide a significant advantage on challenging terrains, offering increased ground clearance and minimized torque twist. Utilizing durable metal portal gears, ring gears, and pinion gears, these axles ensure consistent performance, allowing the Ascent-18 to navigate rough trails smoothly and efficiently. Moreover, the crawler's remarkable steering angle enhances its agility, enabling it to maneuver effortlessly through tight spaces and conquer formidable obstacles with ease. To maintain optimal traction, machined aluminum spools are employed, ensuring stability across all four tires. Additionally, with 7mm wheel hexes, drivers have the flexibility to select from a wide range of wheel and tire options available in the market.

Chassis

Crafted from 2mm flat rail aluminum, the chassis strikes a perfect balance between strength and agility, enabling the Ascent-18 to effortlessly glide over obstacles while maintaining stability. Its lightweight construction enhances maneuverability without compromising structural integrity, providing a sturdy foundation for consistent performance. The portal specific chassis implemented in the Ascent-18 crawler reflects a commitment to durability and performance. Featuring high-quality hex hardware, the chassis ensures both resilience and ease of maintenance, vital for sustained performance on challenging terrains.

Hop Up Parts

The Ascent-18 offers a plethora of performance hop-up options tailored to elevate its capabilities further. Brass upgrades, including inner and outer portal axle box components, servo mounting brackets, diff covers, and various suspension links, enhance durability and add weight where needed for enhanced stability. Aluminum hop-up parts such as servo mounting brackets, suspension components, shock bodies, and skid plates contribute to reducing weight while maintaining strength and rigidity. Additionally, steel transmission gear sets provide increased durability and reliability, ensuring optimal power delivery and longevity under demanding conditions. These hop-up options empower enthusiasts to customize and fine-tune their Ascent-18 crawler to suit their preferences and conquer even the most challenging terrains with confidence.
