Best crawling video of this truck on RUclips.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. It’s really what I aim for with every release 🙏
You're one of the few people that I have no problem trusting on reviews. And if companies have the nuts to send you stuff, it says a lot about them too. Keep it up Matt!
Glad to hear that. I do my best to stay as true as possible! It’s the reason I started the channel. I myself was tired of the same ol cupcake reviews. Really appreciate ya
Thing looks like a custom build with all the color match and attention to detail. 🤩 wow!
Yeah it does!
Couldn't agree more 👍🤠👍
RedCat's out for blood. It's pretty dope!
I'm getting 'A Team' vibes. That is a good thing. 😁
Redcat is on a roll! Competition ready rtr at that price?! Vanquish and traxxas are gona be panicking and they bloody well should be. This WILL be my first rtr. Ty Matt great vid👍🤠👍
Nice! Hope you love it!
Love this truck,my driving instantly improved by just unboxing mine, the feel I was going for with my trail trucks I got as soon as I got a battery in it...
An exciting release that will save many folks just now looking into the Ascent at all a lot of upgrade work. Thanks for the vid.
That is a GOOD looking truck! Stop making me want to buy things! 😋

Your 1st Redcat has some sweet monster truck sound effects. Great video. That Assent Fusion looks like a great value. Thank you for this video 👍
This thing looks killer
Ooh it’s like the ascent AXE edition! Yeah boy! That’s the way to do an RTR!!
AXE-ial killer edition! LOL!
This was a really good review. Convinced me to purchase my first Redcat crawler.
Nice! Really appreciate that! Let me know if ya need a link to purchase from! Appreciate the support either way!
Absolute beauty, Redcat's been listening to customers. Cheers
My first crawler ever is my gen8 axe edition. Now I need one of these to go with it
I need this truck in my life❤
Redcat did a great job on this truck. It looks awesome 🔥
Honesty is the best policy 👍👍😎 yeah I’m really liking that truck also, and at least only the first scratch hurts 😁👍 The rest is patina got character now Yep 😁👍👍
Cheers for insight.😊
Awesome looking rig and review Matt!!!!
I saw Ken's Ascent 18 vid and he heated and bent his front clip to keep the body on better. Maybe that'll work for this one.
Ty sir! I really want this ! Much love from Michigan!
Looks like I will be making another crawler purchase...cool vid.
Thanks! It’s a nice truck for sure
Yeah I love the looks of that body, black is my favorite. Love the red stripes on it sure does pop out there on the rocks looking sweet 👍👍😎
I'm gonna get am ascent 18 when more cheap parts come out, but man the ascent fusion looks so good! I'm glad redcat is pushing so hard
If that's the case that the hair band is a Band-Aid how come oh boy has a company making them and a lot of people use them you do a damn good job Matt
I would have not bought two of the 1/18 scales if I knew about this one. But way to go Redcat.
And people who bought the blue version of this truck too 😂
I appreciate every thing you share, nothing to be sorry about. Well catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁😁👋👋😎
I wish Hobbywing Would make a Fusion for the 1/18! Also a Fusion 380 for the mini capra and 12th scale would be amazing
OMG, love this kitchen how I wish I got this, lots of foods :)
So siccccc ...matt talk to redcat see if they wanna do something with king shocks ..traxxas got with fox ...redcats killing it... I work for king we got losi we need more see whats up ill be a middle man to get a handshake going on that would be so sick ...keep killing it matt
Hey do you have an email or somewhere they could contact you? Got a response from someone who could make it happen at Redcat 😉
Hey sorry matt are my comments going thru im trying to respond my comments arent staying in the comment section so just making sure you are getting my response brotha
@@You_no_viking no I haven’t seen any comments besides this one. Email me at 2fastmattracing@gmail.com if ya want
Good 👍🏻 video sir. That’s a pretty wicked looking RTR! And the performance isn’t too shabby
either right out of the box. Fusion SE as well! NICE 👍🏻 rig Redcat! Vanquish stance and new red cat head to head … let’s go.
Unboxed the stance today! Taking it out in the next couple days and a comparison will be coming!
LETS GOOO
As an aside, a pumped up Matt is great to see
Heck yeah! Appreciate it
So happy to see you pumped up brother
Heck yeah dude, and looks good doing it. That was a nice climb 👍👍😎
Bummer it's doesn't have another color option. Pretty awesome someone finally put a fusion in a RTR. This is how all RTR should come
I love the black and red, I would love to make one black and purple! It would look so good
Dam it. A must have just grab the whole line up😂😂😂🎉
gutted, shouldn't have watched this video as we don't get redcat here in the uk but i love it and wont be able to get one. great video 👍👍👍
That stinks! Hate it for ya! Really appreciate you watching though 🙏
What ever this location is you should rename it “Tigers Blood”….I live in Utah and I am jelly of you’er rocks. Thanks for the honest review.
I like that name!
I'm here for Matt's opinion first. Looking good so far but I'm only a couple minutes in
I really appreciate that! I love the ascent so I may be a little biased on this one. But for good reason imo
Realy nice rig 👍
Put the Jconcepts Landmines on, it has a stepped lug design. Under compression, those tires “bite” I’ve used them before and they are unreal.
Yep! Great tires. Around here the ruptures are just unstoppable though
looks sick !!!
That was a nice safe on that down dissent 👍👍😎
Yeah I couldn’t believe I saved that one 😆
Wow that’s looking sweet dude, 👍👍😎
Looks like we need the 2FM RC patented Body Securer Hair Band
Haha! For sure!
any bump steer? and how easy is it to get in there and make changes? the og was a pain to work on motor and other parts and excessive plastics.
seeing it go from soa to cms, though more scale, just seems a bit backwards and complicating the geometry which the og wasn't that good to begin with.
is it still a reversed mullet? the og had a lower rear axle clearance compared to front.
I have been asking whether these new rigs are progressing the hobby forward, or are they just cloning or just putting out what we've already done.
Matt please ask Redcat to find us a UK distributor!
Got one on order can’t wait,
Do you think using battery try provided for the back and adding weight to the skids would help weight distribution ?
I would like to see a comparison to other ready to run trucks
Working on it!
Nice 👍🏾
So stoked! Just ordered mine! Do you know if they upgraded the front cvd drive pins? Mine keep breaking. I was hoping they made these larger or didn't notch them. Super excited to get mine! Thanks for the awesome review!
I don’t think they made any updates to them. I lost one of the pins on my other one. I bought a couple sets of the rebuild kit lol
Wish I had waited to buy an Asceng because this would have saved me $150 and a bunch of time.😂
would love to see an update on the scx6 build
It’s coming soon! Had a little issue that delayed my running lol
RFR (Ready For Rocks)
I just wish they would have went with metal beadlocks since they went all out everywhere else
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are these waterproof then? Love the video and the running footage!
I appreciate that! I wouldn’t count on the servo being waterproof. It don’t really say. I’m sure it can handle water pretty well as most of them do ok. I’d say if it’s submerged a lot though it may have issues. But that’s just a guess. The fusion in it should be fine. I’ve sank those things plenty lol
lost me at ky fan... lol on to the next one
Haha!
Glad I waited, just ordered one! Does it still need a panhard mount upgrade or did they improve it?
Great review!
Haven’t heard that it’s been upgraded so I’d say it needs it but I had no issue with this one.
@@2fmrc thanks, I’ll just run it and find out.
The panhard does have some more material added compared to the regular Ascent which should fix the issues we've seen. We forgot to mention it in the marketing material.
@@ShaneMikula nice!!! I’ll have to update on that.
How does it compare to the vrd Stance RTR.
Looks like to me they done exactly what you've done to the other one
What battery and charger would you guys use with this truck.
Connectors gotta match.
I use these. Work great! 2-3 of these will get you through a good day of crawling for sure. Connectors match up also 🤘🏼

These are good chargers for a decent price. Depends how much you wanna spend. There’s a cheaper one for around $38 that will work fine but this one is slightly nicer imo
amzn.to/3PyimHQ
Same offset rear diff?
You're killing me! I just bought the little one. Immediately looked at the big brother. Figured I'd put the Fusion in it that you so highly praised. Then you show us this. I need to unsubscribe! lol.
Haha! Don’t do that! I just saved you time and money see 🤷🏻♂️ now instead of buying the og ascent and having to purchase and install the fusion and carbon chassis etc. you can get it all at once. It’s all about perspective 😆
I got it thanks so much!!!
Its my first 1/10 scale what battery u recommend from amazon or what potency for this particular crawler ??
thanks
Thanks so much!!
Nice! I always run these in my crawlers. Small enough they keep weight down but they last a LONG time. Great price also! Plugs straight into the fusion!
amzn.to/3Pvykmf
I noticed that the transmission is supposedly quick change for odd gears
@@matthewwmullan yeah it is. This one already has the underdrive gears installed though. The og ascent you had to install them.
@@2fmrc thanks for the reply u think i can dismount the stock tires that come on the fusion ascent and slap some injora beadlocks on there will that be an easy task i have never done it ???
@@Senditjp247 oh yeah! Nothing to that. They are a 1.9 tire. Beadlock wheels so you’ll just remove the screws and be good to go!
The first crawler IS Everest 10?
RS10 which was before the Everest!
Trying to figure out how to get one without spending next month's rent 🤔
Hey you're not slick I seen that in the background bad thing looks insane bro send me some pictures
Waiting for people to say that this truck is garbage because it’s a redcat..
Okay. Learned the lesson. Never buy the first new model.
Now even more regret doing so, even paying about 150 bucks more that what it costs over there to import one. Finding it was pretty overhyped on RUclips, needing a lots of work / upgrades to be any good.
The 1/18 over here can’t be bought for the price it got introduces. Now this. They should have made this the original one. Take an example on the new fms. All there at introduction and bang for the buck. No more redcat for me….
Redcat may have just ruined the hobby for those of us that like to tinker and modify things. There's not much left to do on this one!
There's always more to do
