I haven't seen it anywhere, and to buy it in the US the cheapest one is on amazon.com and with customs fees it costs about 400€....

If I bought that I would have $1k in it not long after the first run. Then what would I have - a thousand dollar Redcat? Lol.

Here's an Italian retailer listing for the Ascent:

Redcat just stepped up the ascent big time. I think it would still need the dsm chassis to get the geometry really sorted out, but this new version appears to have all the other upgrade parts, plus a fusion (se I presume) thrown at it for just $100 over the original release.

I will be ordering 1. For some reason my acct with them has been deleted. Waiting on a response back from them about it.

this release looks interesting ... the 299 price on the regular ascent seemed ok but we all know the esc and motor are going to be upgraded ... now they did half the job on putting on a fusion and bam some really tasteful upgrades thrown on it .... I will be getting one just not yet ... Id like to hear honest reviews.. I got one of the little 18 ascends and its really good fun ... a bit top heavy but i like to tinker and already working on mods to improve it.

Oh wow. I was debating getting an Ascent to mess around with, but this version definitely grabbed my attention. My birthday is in a few weeks and I think I know what my wife can get me, and maybe the 1/18 version as well.

The seed was planted in my wife’s head. She asked me to send the info to her phone, so fingers crossed.

The release piqued my interest and got me thinking of a more comp specific rig, but with the release of the fusion with the upgrades I would’ve put on anyway, and at that price, I pulled the trigger and ordered one. It’ll be my first Redcat and first rtr in a loooong time. Can’t wait to get it out on the rocks.

Never been a Redcat fan at all. Until the Ascent came out in 2023. Liked what they offered in the OG Acsent. Figured I'd wait and see what the reviews where like on them. So a few months later. I was never into the 1/18th scale crawlers but saw that Redcat put out the 1/18th version of the Acsent That I liked. So I I decided to buy all 3 color choices for the 1/18th Acsent. Just a week later Redcat drops the bombshell of the Fusion version. Well long story short. I am a Redcat fan. Ended up getting the Fusion as well. They have totally stepped up there game. Well played Redcat well played!!

Harley was saying the Ascent axles aren't great. What's the issue(s) with the axles?
