Redcat Scout II - 1/18 Scale Brushed Electric Rock Crawler (Blue) With TORQ MLS-1025 Premium DIRECT-MOUNT Servo (Free Horn Included)

Manual

 The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler is an affordable, highly detailed rock crawler that's equally at home on rugged rocks or smooth trails. Ready to run, the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler comes complete with all electronics, a 2.4GHz radio, a rechargeable 750 mAh 2S LiPo battery pack, and a charger.

The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler features ball bearings, hex drive hardware, portal axles, metal portal gears, machined aluminum spools, metal ring and pinion gears, aluminum chassis rails, aluminum capped oil filled shocks, 7mm wheel hexes, a fully licensed International Scout II body and quality electronics.

Quality ball bearings are used throughout the Ascent-18 International Scout II, instead of bushings, to ensure smooth operation and longevity, setting the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler apart in the 1:18 scale crawler market. There is no need to spend money on a bearing upgrade, the RTR Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler already has them pre-installed.

Smooth acting aluminum-capped oil filled shocks ensure consistent performance with minimal bounce. This makes the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler feel planted, inspiring confidence in the driver. The 2mm flat rail aluminum chassis is lightweight and allows the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler to glide over obstacles while providing a rigid backbone for stable performance. The included portal axles offer increased ground clearance and reduced torque twist. If the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler finds itself in a situation with one of its tires in the air, the aluminum spools ensure that all four tires still receive equal power. As long as one tire is getting traction, you’ve got an opportunity to keep trekking forward.

The included 60T 180 size motor, when paired with the Ascent-18 International Scout II’s gearing, delivers smooth low-end power for precise slow crawling and also generates enough wheel speed to power through obstacles where there’s little traction to be found. The 180 size motor is the biggest motor that would fit in such a small crawler. Additionally, there are already many motor upgrade options on the market today that will drop right into this amazing little crawler.

The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler has a lot of steering. Its tight turning radius helps the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler to maneuver close quarters while navigating its way through gnarly obstacles. This is a must on the rocks or on the trails. The Hexfly HX-M4K 4kg coreless metal gear micro servo helps the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler reach its full steering potential. This servo may look small, but it packs a big punch. Servos like this are usually found on vehicles that have already been upgraded, but it is included with the RTR Ascent-18 International Scout II.

The 750 mAh Hexfly 2S rechargeable LiPo battery pack has plenty of juice to power the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler through precision obstacles and fast paced trails alike. The benefit of including a 750 mAh capacity battery is the lengthy run times it provides over smaller packs. This means more time on the trails and less time sitting by the charger.

The Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler uses the same radio that is included with the Ascent-18. It’s a full size 2.4Ghz radio system that fits comfortably in the hand and offers dual rates, channel reversing, and adjustable trims for precision control. The receiver and ESC, which are built into a single compact unit, keep weight to a minimum and also maximize chassis real estate on this tiny crawler. This allows extra room for shifting weight bias with different electronic and battery layouts.

A front tilt body mounting system simplifies maintenance and enhances the beauty of this fully licensed International Scout II body by removing the need for protruding body posts. The quarter turn locking mechanism makes keeping up with tiny body clips a thing of the past.

Since the International Scout II is such an iconic vehicle, Redcat has decided to include working LED headlights and tail lights, for additional realism. If you’re hitting the trails and dusk sets in, no worries—the included LEDs will help light the way.

While the Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler performs great and looks amazing with its fully licensed Interco Super Swamper tires, its 7mm wheel hexes allow the driver to choose from many popular wheel and tire options on the market, to suit their personal preference. If you’re someone who enjoys customizing RC vehicles, you’ll be excited to know there is a full line of high-quality performance hop-up parts for the Ascent-18 Scout II, available for purchase right alongside the vehicle. That’s right—you can buy the new Ascent-18 International Scout II Rock Crawler and immediately start upgrading with a wide range of performance parts. Enthusiasts can customize their vehicles as soon as they unbox them. These premium upgrades include both brass and aluminum options, with most aluminum parts available in your choice of red or bronze. Brass is heavier than aluminum, allowing you to strategically add weight where needed, while aluminum provides strength without adding much bulk. Not only do these parts boost performance, but their sleek finishes look absolutely stunning.

Available brass performance hop up parts include: Inner portal axle box, outer portal axle box cover, servo mounting bracket, diff covers, front/rear upper links, front/rear lower links, steering link, center skid plate, and wheel hexes.

Available aluminum performance hop up parts include: Servo mounting bracket, diff covers, front/rear upper links, front/rear lower links, steering link, shock bodies, center skid plate, and servo horn.
