Redcat Ascent-18 International Scout II (RED) Brushless Electric Rock Crawler

Experience big-time crawling in a compact package with the Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless, our 1:18 scale ready-to-run crawler packed with premium components. Powered by a 3450kv 1212-size brushless motor and a 3-channel ESC, this mini machine delivers serious torque, speed, and efficiency—perfect for backyard boulders or indoor obstacle courses.

Whether you're pushing boundaries or cruising trails, the Scout II is equipped with high-quality electronics, a 2.4GHz radio, and includes a 750mAh 2S LiPo battery and charger. You’ll only need four AA batteries to get rolling.

Scaled Down—Performance Turned Up

Despite its size, the Scout II is built like its 1:10 scale cousins—durable, capable, and fully loaded:

• Brushless Power: The 3450kv motor delivers speed and torque with improved run-time efficiency.
• Precision Steering: Our new "HIGH STEER" front-end geometry adds tighter turning and greater articulation with a redesigned axle housing and portal setup.
• Metal Everywhere: From portal gears and ring-and-pinion internals to machined aluminum spools and chassis rails—it’s built to endure.
• Custom Tuning: Aluminum-capped oil-filled shocks, hex drive hardware, underdrive gear options, and 7mm wheel hexes invite performance upgrades and personalization.

Detail-Rich Craftsmanship

• Scale Looks: The International Scout II body is faithfully recreated and features a forward tilt mount with LED lighting—easy access and true-to-life style.
• Radio Control: The 3-channel 2.4GHz system offers servo reversing, dual rates, steering trims, and a compact ESC-receiver combo for clean chassis layout.
• RTR Simplicity: It arrives fully assembled with everything you need to hit the trails—just add AA batteries for the transmitter.
