Redcat Everest Ascent - SO GOOD That Saying "Impressive" Doesn't Do It Justice

- Thanks to Redcat for sending us this Ascent to review. I've bought several Redcat vehicles in the past and really enjoyed them (Gen8 Scout, Kaiju, SixtyFour). That said, like all reviews we only offer to do them if we can say and show anything we want to about them. What we like and don't like. This is one of the only times I've ever taken the time mid-review to email the company to say how impressed I am with a product. For $299, the Redcat Ascent is very impressive. Normally we say things like, that's typical to have to replace stock servos and trashy tires. This servo works and the tires actually hook up surprisingly well. I've run this on our local comp track now as well and it's a solid rig. The rest of the info...you'll have to watch to hear.

Looks like a solid release from Redcat! 👍🏻 They’re getting better and better. Also the price is competitive. Cool video as always Tony! 😎
Agreed on all points
Tha fact that it's not another Power Wagon is a win for me.
Hi Tony! How you doing brother? The Ascent caught my eye immediately with the boat shaped body for great clearance! Everything that I've seen so far about it looks absolutely amazing for an RTR! Great price too. Redcat gets better with every release! Great video brother! 💯🤜🤛😮
Thanks Riffraffsrc! It’s definitely something special at this price
I just bought one.. Cant wait to give it a spin.
Redcat did a great job with this release. Good video man!
it's like the designers actually go rock crawling !
I go fishing at our local lake & take my bashers & crawlers there is the perfect terrains for both. I’d like to see it on some steep granite type terrain some steep Moab type terrain. The front end stays pretty planted stock so that’s a good sign. Some one tested it with Hyrax tires on the same line & it was able to complete the lines with the Hyrax. I do like the look of them though.
We don’t have anything like those rocks here. I did some harder lines at our local shop already. Video coming. This things a beast for an rtr.
Very nice ...I don't know what kind of lcg comp truck you can build but I know for sure it's not gonna be 300 bucks this is a amazing value 👌
Agreed
It’s a KISS! Keep IT SIMPLE STUPID, it includes all the goodies and a great price! But back ordered! Your review convinced me but none to be found out of stock everywhere. The blue is the way to go! I need one!
I’m excited to get this. Looks very impressive
Blue Steel is mesmerizing just like that crawler's price tag!
Looks like an Awesome crawler for little money !!! Good Job Redcat !!!!
I plan to get one as soon as I can afford it. Looks really good for a good price too. Great video review and run!
What a great release and it looks good too, win!
I have those tires on my Wendigo which I took crawling. They did okay crawling a pretty technical stream bed. I did blow them off the glue, but I bought more and some beadlocks. They have a nice composition to them.
Nice job Tony, looks good for a $300 rtr. May pick one up for when mates want a go...
Thanks for the video I've been checking these out for the last couple days i might have to pick one up
11:49 the storage in the remote is for Vienna sausages, heard that from some dude in Florida
Great looking rig man 👍 might have to my LHS 😁
Ok, guess I will have ta purchase one of these impressive rigs. Cool review. Would like to see what it looks like with the rear bed gone. I love just a 'cab look'...
Definitely looks like an interesting one
Made me enjoy 1/10 again
Great review !
Well done redcat 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just picked on up yesterday
dude! I just ran those servos! a little on the loud side, but they hold their own for the price!
Looks like the most impressive cat so far. 👍
Great review! 💪😎
Looks like a solid rig for the price
I mean its likely the most capable stock crawler ever made.
Blue Steel! It’s hard being really really good looking! Haha
One of the 2in1 systems will be perfect in these things
Exactly
Get some "wash" , like for minuatures painting and weathering model railroad cars.....and wash the white rims with some brown, give em that used look and i bet they'd look the part ...maybe then some detailing on the lugnuts, or some scratches and rust?
hey get a white servo horn to match the wheels! I like them, a little different.
Good ol blue steel making off road recovery possible since ever since. 😂
Hahahaha 😂
Mine is on its way. Blue version.
What battery size is recommended with what run time. I will order with XT60 connectors. I am thinking 3s 50c 2200mah but will wait for feedback. Thanks
I have seen many videos on these two crawlers that REDCAT came out with, and nothing negative about it. They all say the same thing, not a fan of the plastic white wheel and that it's not beadlock. Those tires would do wonders on metal wheel
Looks awesome
They did good
Is the motor and esc waterproof or just the servo?
Is the ascent sorca compliant?
Good video👍🌟
Are the overdrive gears plastic? If so where do you get metal ones.
Plastic and not sure
I like it 👍
Truck looks awesome but it course redcat had to put a dang cheap body on it. That thing flopping around makes me sad I'll still probably buy it. Should have done a hard body since it's a crawler.
I just had a wee look on Amain just to see how much it would cost me to get one....... $289.99 plus $43.50 GST plus $76.99 Shipping = $410.48 USD that's about $700 NZD I've always wondered why American shipping prices are so damn high? $130 for shipping?!!? Yeah nah' I'd like to order one but I have to pass again.....................🤑
Ouch. Int’l shipping is expensive.
My cousin lives in the States and he says shipping is nuts to send anything out of the U.S. and there I was thinking he could get me some deals sent to the U.K. but no.
I was begging to think you had went full blown 1 24th scale lol
I have more coming. Just got the Losi RZR in the mail. Been waiting on that to be in stock again.
But also…I really do like the minis. Easy to work on…take up little space…even when you have a lot.
The best release this year. Super Gorgeous rig..i went with a 800mh.battery lasted me over a hour of cralwers time ..super legit rig...Go check out my video on some real aggressive rocks. ✌️👋🏁🏁🏁
He does fish a lot
A…lot. Took USTE and GCM out fishing 2x when they were here for the Gauntlet
I tried to order that Redcat Ascent today and had a truly HORRIBLE experience with Redcat's customer service that resulted in me canceling the order and telling them where to go. No apologies from them, no nothing. Awful experience. I will NEVER own a Redcat product after this.
That’s a bummer. I’ve never called them to order before. Everything has been done online.
@@CCxRCThis was an online order. I avoid the phone like the plague.
🎃🎃👍👍
Maybe it’s a new truck. You know, for fishing. The RedCast… lol
I fixed it. It’s just not showing my fix yet. 😅 but I could go for a little fishing
You Zoolander you 😅
What is this a truck for ants …. How can we drive it if we can’t fit in it … will have to be at least three times bigger than this …. Blue steal
Yes! Love this comment. 😂😂😂 but it needs to be at least 10x bigger 😉
@@CCxRC super funny movie
