Redcat Ascent-18 International Scout II – 1/18 Scale Brushed Electric Rock Crawler – Green

The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler is an affordable, highly detailed rock crawler that's equally at home on rugged rocks or smooth trails. Ready to run, the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler comes complete with all electronics, a 2.4GHz radio, a rechargeable 750 mAh 2S LiPo battery pack, and a charger. The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler features ball bearings, hex drive hardware, portal axles, metal portal gears, machined aluminum spools, metal ring and pinion gears, aluminum chassis rails, aluminum capped oil filled shocks, 7mm wheel hexes, a fully licensed International Scout II body and quality electronics. Quality ball bearings are used throughout the Ascent-18 International Scout II, instead of bushings, to ensure smooth operation and longevity, setting the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler apart in the 1:18 scale crawler market. There is no need to spend money on a bearing upgrade, the RTR Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler already has them pre-installed. Smooth acting aluminum-capped oil filled shocks ensure consistent performance with minimal bounce. This makes the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler feel planted, inspiring confidence in the driver. The 2mm flat rail aluminum chassis is lightweight and allows the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler to glide over obstacles while providing a rigid backbone for stable performance. The included portal axles offer increased ground clearance and reduced torque twist. If the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler finds itself in a situation with one of its tires in the air, the aluminum spools ensure that all four tires still receive equal power. As long as one tire is getting traction, you’ve got an opportunity to keep trekking forward. The included 60T 180 size motor, when paired with the Ascent-18 International Scout II’s gearing, delivers smooth low-end power for precise slow crawling and also generates enough wheel speed to power through obstacles where there’s little traction to be found. The 180 size motor is the biggest motor that would fit in such a small crawler. Additionally, there are already many motor upgrade options on the market today that will drop right into this amazing little crawler. The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler has a lot of steering. Its tight turning radius helps the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler to maneuver close quarters while navigating its way through gnarly obstacles. This is a must on the rocks or on the trails. The Hexfly HX-M4K 4kg coreless metal gear micro servo helps the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler reach its full steering potential. This servo may look small, but it packs a big punch. Servos like this are usually found on vehicles that have already been upgraded, but it is included with the RTR Ascent-18 International Scout II.
