I haven't seen it anywhere, and to buy it in the US the cheapest one is on amazon.com and with customs fees it costs about 400€....

Redcat Ascent Crawler
- Thread starter cul8tr

Here's an Italian retailer listing for the Ascent:

Redcat just stepped up the ascent big time. I think it would still need the dsm chassis to get the geometry really sorted out, but this new version appears to have all the other upgrade parts, plus a fusion (se I presume) thrown at it for just $100 over the original release.

I will be ordering 1. For some reason my acct with them has been deleted. Waiting on a response back from them about it.
this release looks interesting ... the 299 price on the regular ascent seemed ok but we all know the esc and motor are going to be upgraded ... now they did half the job on putting on a fusion and bam some really tasteful upgrades thrown on it .... I will be getting one just not yet ... Id like to hear honest reviews.. I got one of the little 18 ascends and its really good fun ... a bit top heavy but i like to tinker and already working on mods to improve it.
if you were on the fence of the ascent then I dont see why not get the better version
:mrgreen:
The seed was planted in my wife’s head. She asked me to send the info to her phone, so fingers crossed.

The release piqued my interest and got me thinking of a more comp specific rig, but with the release of the fusion with the upgrades I would’ve put on anyway, and at that price, I pulled the trigger and ordered one. It’ll be my first Redcat and first rtr in a loooong time. Can’t wait to get it out on the rocks.
Never been a Redcat fan at all. Until the Ascent came out in 2023. Liked what they offered in the OG Acsent. Figured I'd wait and see what the reviews where like on them. So a few months later. I was never into the 1/18th scale crawlers but saw that Redcat put out the 1/18th version of the Acsent That I liked. So I I decided to buy all 3 color choices for the 1/18th Acsent. Just a week later Redcat drops the bombshell of the Fusion version. Well long story short. I am a Redcat fan. Ended up getting the Fusion as well. They have totally stepped up there game. Well played Redcat well played!!"thumbsup"
Harley was saying the Ascent axles aren't great. What's the issue(s) with the axles?

I've had a few different Redcat models since their start. Their plastic has gotten way better since then. I hated the steering link on the Gen8. Broke quite a few before making my on out of aluminum. Broke the portal gears and the plastic portal on the rear axle (gen8). I wanted to see how tough/strong the truck really was. I really like the Acent, over drive gears, brass outer portal covers and Fusion 1200kv.

Ok it's been awhile, just way too many trucks to play with and not enough time.
30* day broke the Panhard mount on the frame rail.
For strength I got these;
Bowhouse rc aluminum Panhard frame and axle mount.
H-tech lower link mounts.
It's been a solid truck and preforms well on the trail.
Hopefully I can run it tomorrow.

A local guy here has an ascent with the dsm chassis for sale for ~$200. I've been tempted to pick it up and give it a try, but knowing me it'll quickly turn into a $400 truck. If it stays available another week or so I'm sure I'll cave.

I've pondered the idea of getting that chassis set. If I remember correctly it relocates the shock mounting.
Yeah, it appears to change a lot. Angled skid, lower motor mounting, better shock mounting positions, etc. The chassis came out before redcat did the ascent fusion so it was a huge weight saving vs the stainless chassis on the standard ascent.
