As an employee at International, I think I just found my next (functional) desk truck!! Love seeing one of our legacy products being reincarnated in a smaller scale. Definitely picking one up.
Thank you Mr Matt and Ms Rebecca for all you do. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Because of you Mr Matt I have 2 1/24 scale rc trucks, nothing compares to yours. But they are still very fun to play with while watching it snow outside. For anyone reading this, Merry Christmas and a happy new year's to all. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏
I wasn't looking for one but I am now. It's interesting how they just came out of nowhere with this. I have the Gen 8 in Purple so I'd love to see more colors in the future. This is a great little trail truck.
:( same here.. my wife is going to kill me with another purchase.. I also have the gen 8 in green and this little guys will make a nice addition. Thanks Scale builder's guild for making me spend more $$$ :)
I agree. I don’t have the gen8 but I have the gen9 but the I think the gen8 scout looks better and the ascent18 is a really good little truck. I wasn’t looking for one but dang, hook, line, sinker
Redcat is quickly becoming the detailed body masters. The little scout II looks great and I bet it might look pretty good on the new 1/18 HPI Venture platform.
Love the look of the older trucks too, that's another reason why I'm going to get one - got a geen 1/10 as well with RC GIRLS wooded decals she printed.
I tagged this video on my Shorts on my Little channel. I like this Body on it. I want it. Dang Christmas. Knew i shouldn;t of had kids. LOL And there all Daughters.
I really don't mind the fender molding on the 1/10 scale,but I see the point though. For this would've been nice for the little accessories (handles, wipers). I'm definitely going to be getting one.. in green - wish the other was this shade.
Fantastic looking truck!! I want them all. I’d buy the OG ascent if I was doing a hardbody. Save a few bucks upfront. I’d buy the scout if I wanted a sweet RTR runner.
I need to order a scout for my mini crawler collection. I have 3 ascent 18 one fully upgraded from Redcat with Brass hop ups the rest are stock. 149 is a bit on the high side, but it's fine.
I have been holding off getting another 1/18 as I was hoping Traxxas would release a TRX4M high trail blazer as I wanted a 70's SUV, but this has my attention.
I'd go with the scout I like the later releases redcat has had in the past few yrs with the 1/10th and the 1/18th with the exception of the Gen 8 and Gen 9
Why on earth did Axial not go 18th scale on the SCX? So many of these new trucks are 18th and I want them all, but I have sunk too much into the 24th scales😢
Whats with all the shrunken down releases lately? HPI, FMS, Redcat, Losi? Shrinkflation hitting the RC market? I got sucked into tiny axials myself but recently cleansed my palate with an SCX6 after I bought a 3 acre property in the mountains.
So... As a person who already has a heavily upgraded SCX24 and looking for something different, at the $149 price, would you go for something established like the Ascent 18 or take a chance on the new HPI Venture 18? Let's leave out the "standard" Ascent for the sake of the question.
Redcat Everest 10 $170 us, Traxxas TRX 4M $150 us, axial scx 24 gladiator $134 us ( similar size) redcat danchee 1/10 double motor and servo, i am confused the best crawler for 150 us
Ok, maybe we need to stage an intervention with the RC makers. I keep needing these new vehicles, modding them, then they sit there as I mod new ones. I CAN STOP ANYTIME
That is bad ass! I just hate the look of front portals caster’s. Wish they could figure out how to design them smaller. Still bad ass! I’m getting a couple lol.

That's awesome.
Clear windows! They sent you the nicer color, dig the green. Honey we shrunk the SBG!

I heard shrinkray.. I'm here for it
24yepps here too lol we got the full rc party here
@ 🫡
Hey @24yep big fan it’s cool to see you in other channels
Redcat made the right call with the Scout body. I'm not feeling the small scale stuff, but great review Matt.
I wasn't looking for one but I am now. It's interesting how they just came out of nowhere with this. I have the Gen 8 in Purple so I'd love to see more colors in the future. This is a great little trail truck.

Scout alllll day long!
Small scale is nice for just pure fun. You can detail them up if that is your jam and you can have fun running them around the backyard.
Yeah, I'd get the Scout version! Love the Scout look. Great video!!
What a groovy little trucklet. Great shots, great music. Add the affable, avuncular host and we have it all!
Avuncular? That's the first time anyone has used that in a comment! 🏆 😂
@ it’s such a bitchin word
Tio Mateo! Hahaha@@scalebuildersguild
@@scalebuildersguild Guess you're the designated RC Funcle🤔😂🤣
A Scout! Josh’s favorite…oh wait 😂
Was holding off on these smaller scale trucks but this.... I'll get. ❤Scout II
Breakin' 2! Turbo and Ozone forever!!
Clear windows, new wheels to go along with the cool Scout body, light kit and slightly longer all seem worth the $30 difference.
Saw this come out on red cat website and already bought one I have a 1/10 scout to so now can't wait till the little brother gets here
Love the look of the older trucks too, that's another reason why I'm going to get one - got a geen 1/10 as well with RC GIRLS wooded decals she printed.
Need to bring a leaf blower lol
Really like the square body. Definitely want to get one to go with my ascent pickup.
Most definitely the Scout... classic, lights, better tires...?
My all time fav off road vehicle. So pumped. I am all about the minis.
Love me some International Scouts. 3D printing some scaled details is a must for this great body choice.
I always liked the look of a Scout ll also. I have 2 Ascent 18s….. so yes I’m diggin the Scout. And it’s Christmas time. 😎✌🏻
I've been waiting for Redcat to do a brushless 1/18 , really like that body...
I love redcat but I'd honestly go with the hpi venture 18 for the features. Awesome video!
I like that they made the windows clear. I think it was your video on clearing the paint on the 1/10 that brought me to SBG years ago.
Glad you found me all those years ago!
Looks awesome! I'd rather pay $149 for Ascent 18 than the Trx4!
I tagged this video on my Shorts on my Little channel. I like this Body on it. I want it. Dang Christmas. Knew i shouldn;t of had kids. LOL And there all Daughters.
Already have 2 of the ascent 18s so the new one for $150 is definitely on my next buy list. The extra cost is worth it to me.
149 sounds pretty good for an 18th scale.
Agreed!
I really don't mind the fender molding on the 1/10 scale,but I see the point though. For this would've been nice for the little accessories (handles, wipers). I'm definitely going to be getting one.. in green - wish the other was this shade.
Need a purple one to match my 1/10
I figured they would have a purple variant just like the 10th scale version. Still pretty cool though!
Oh yeah that's badass definitely buying one
Since Hobbywing is also shrinking their Fusion 2 in 1 systems, an Axe Edition 1/18 would be way cool.
Fantastic looking truck!! I want them all. I’d buy the OG ascent if I was doing a hardbody. Save a few bucks upfront. I’d buy the scout if I wanted a sweet RTR runner.
i have wanted this for so long. the gen 8 was my first crawler
Buying this over hpi venture 1/8. Redcat parts availability is alot accessible
I need to order a scout for my mini crawler collection. I have 3 ascent 18 one fully upgraded from Redcat with Brass hop ups the rest are stock. 149 is a bit on the high side, but it's fine.

cool little truck 😃👍 i like it ❄️🎄🎅❄️🎄🎅❄️🎄🎅
My dad had two real Scout IIs when I was growing up. Just for the nostalgia I gotta go Scout over Ascent.
Diggin' the tunes!
Small scale is king
Oh great, something else I need to buy 😂
For me itd be worth the extra for the scout ii body, i dig it 😊
Scott all day 😂
Im not really into the small scale, but it does look good, and great review as always, keep it up 💯
Direct comp with new hpi venture 1/18. 👍🏽👍🏽
We had a Scout Ii when i was a kid. Too bad they didn’t do the brown color… it was special 🤣
The price is not bad with licensing lights and portal axles
I like them both
Venture 18 kinda stole the show this time.
Need some knight customs 3D printable for this. Hint hint!
Bout to order the green one. I have the orange 1/10 one
I didnt know one can make a sweater from green pea soup
I’d spend the extra for the Scout.
still have my 74 scout ll and runs great, just rust faster than it goes ..
It’s adorable! But kinda over the tiny scale stuff tbh
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
I'd go with the scout I like the later releases redcat has had in the past few yrs with the 1/10th and the 1/18th with the exception of the Gen 8 and Gen 9
That's what she said.
neat II
I'm just here because you said "electric boogaloo" .
Redcat is crushing it in the small segment. Their 1/10 stuff breaks a little too easy for me.
I digg it!!
I want to see a 90 4x4 suburban
The link you posted takes you to the page for the original ascent 18. Maybe Amain hasn’t updated the site yet ?
It needs turn signals lol
😂
If I was going to comp, I think I’d go for the ascent 18 going for scale I go for the scout
It's Cool 😎
Never seen a portal international...
Never seen a square body Chevy on portals. Traxxas did it so now everyone except RC4WD and HPI put everything on portal axles.
Hey Matt are you going to chop off the top and print an interior?
Wonder if they’ll do an axe edition like the 1/10 but with the new hobbywing 2 in 1 for 1/18s?
you might get wacked in algorithm for the boogaloo title btw, even though its a legit movie or what ever.
That green is tits, too bad I don't want another small scale truck 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Sweeeeeeet yep I'll be getting this to go w my 1/10
Why on earth did Axial not go 18th scale on the SCX? So many of these new trucks are 18th and I want them all, but I have sunk too much into the 24th scales😢
Okay fine I’ll get one
Enjoy!
Stop showing me things I want! lol.
Sorry 😂
I'd get the brushed hpi hilux at that price. I do like the scout body but I'm a feature whore so the 2speed trans wins 😂

My comment vanished. I thought it was odd there were no other comments and then it was gone. Like my money when they keep releasing these new rcs.
Oh great now this one showed up too lol :D SORRY
😂 💰 ✈️

Donkey Brains!

When is the militia meeting?😂
😂 Yikes
1:25 yeah but redcat ascent18 parts are stupidly overpriced!
Redcat Everest 10 $170 us, Traxxas TRX 4M $150 us, axial scx 24 gladiator $134 us ( similar size) redcat danchee 1/10 double motor and servo, i am confused the best crawler for 150 us
Your RUclips sign is crooked and it’s all I saw the entire video
👋😃👍

If any other comments show up, I had some strange issues when I refreshed and then commented and refreshed and it became a thing.
First view and comment. Can I have it?
🏆 You can have this trophy! 😂
It’s ok but not for $150.00 I just don’t think their quality is up to everyone else’s
Too much $$$
It looks like you're the go to guy for the small scale stuff now
I guess?
That is bad ass! I just hate the look of front portals caster’s. Wish they could figure out how to design them smaller. Still bad ass! I’m getting a couple lol.
Enjoy!
