Redcat Ascent-18 Apex 1/18 4WD RTR Brushless Rock Crawler (Red)
Precision Performance in a Compact Scale
The Redcat Ascent-18 Apex Brushless Rock Crawler redefines what a micro crawler can do. Engineered for enthusiasts who crave high-end performance in a small package, this 1/18-scale 4WD RTR crawler delivers power, precision, and durability right out of the box. Over 80% of its platform has been redesigned, introducing advanced materials and refined mechanics that let it conquer any terrain with confidence.
At the core of the Apex is a lightweight carbon fiber chassis reinforced with aluminum bracing, keeping the center of gravity low for exceptional balance on steep climbs and rocky trails. High-steer portal axles improve ground clearance and turning radius, while brass portal boxes, overdrive gearing, and an upgraded ring-and-pinion setup give it the torque and traction needed for technical crawling.
Powered by a Hobbywing brushless motor and ESC, the Apex runs smoothly and efficiently on 3S LiPo power. Paired with a metal gear micro servo, oil-filled aluminum shocks, and soft compound beadlock tires, this crawler delivers precise control and grip across any surface. Its two-piece body design adds versatility—run it as a compact cab or attach the included bed for a full-scale look.
Everything you need is included: 2.4GHz RTX-4C radio system, 3S LiPo battery, and USB charger—ready to run right out of the box.
