Thank you the problem with fms is they make so many different scales and models it get hard to find upgrades for some of them and have to make your own
The Redcat from the start has shown good performance and with the wheel/tyre needs no more spent. But showed the other 2 up with a lot of money spent on them, but know the TRX4m body would hinder a bit but my Landy looks so cool. Shame that they do not support the UK but we cannot have all.
As a whole they all crawled about the same. Somme vehicles because of the way they are designed & modded require slightly different lines. My take is the TRX4m came in last, it just didn’t do anything that was impressive. The SCx24 PW came in a close second, which was kind of expected, the Gladiator does pretty well with only a few mods. The star of the show was the Ascent 18 which out performed them all with only wheels & tires for an upgrade. That just shows that all the Ascent needs is some low down weight with a little more front weight bias. I’ve watched 2 of your videos & both were outstanding, keep up the good work. Great crawling spot too.
Impressive most impressive…. Love how 1/18 and 1/24 same size. I will say the body on redcat is a big advantage how light it must be. But that was super impressive. Especially with custom chasiss and all that brass on em!!
I would need to see a video of the trx4m without that clunky body, until then it'll always perform less than it should. The scx24 would also do better without its large body, but at some point we have to decide on performance or looks. Just bought a few Ascend18 for me and the kids and i think it's great! Axial will need to bring more to the table now.
I think the trx4m body should have been polycarbonate it doesn't have a interior so don't understand the point of the hard body lol the Ascent is really impressive to me so far
Redcat took that victory hands down I was shocked how well the 24 did trx4m retails for $429 here I don't have an interest in that kind of money for it especially how it stacked up there this is why I'm picky what I buy fantastic comparison Brent we'll need to see redcat v utb18 now 👊
Great vid! The Redcat definitely has the better performance of the 3. I have a highly moded 4m Bronco that I'm a little disappointed in too! I gotta have an Ascent 18. Super cool rig!
I love this type of comparison video, great work man! I was super pumped about the trx4m when they first came out but now I don't know if I will ever pick one up. Between FMS and redcat there killing it lately, always love me some scx24 though.
Yeah the Ascent 18 is awesome and the fms stuff great to so many budget friendly options the big companies are going to have to step up their game and drop their prices lol
Great comparisons Brent! Just imagine if you put half as much into the Redcat that was put into the TRX4M! Now I want one to test against my other crawlers on the backyard course!
That was an awesome comparison Brent.I wonder how the trx would do with a more low slung body shell, like the other two. The over all cost always wins me over. I’m such a cheap skate!😝👊🏼
It did really really good. I’m pretty impressed! Your comparison video is great too. When I ordered mine, I went ahead and bought some upgrades along with it so total bill was about $300. Before I add any of the upgrades, I’m going put it up against my FuriTek Fx-118 and see how they do. Those are the only mini crawlers I have and the fx-118 is stock other than aluminum wheels and tires and it’s never been outside at all lol. Should be interesting.
@@AdventureTimeRC lol 😂 there’s a lot more upgrades available but yeah I did get a few and probably some I really didn’t need to, but… I did. Maybe worth it, may not be. I’ll find out
Well done, Just the video I was looking for. I suspected it was not worth sinking any more money into the scx24. I’m gonna jump into the 1/18 scale asap.
Interesting comparison. Did a shootout with my modded bronco and the ascent as well. Bronco performed better than the redcat, but not by much. hardbody vs lexan makes a big difference too. Stock vs stock though? hate to say it but the redcat wins every time (except for scale points..hardbodies ftw)
NEVER WANTED A 1/24… DO WANT A 1/18…. THIS VIDEO & RC REVIEW VIDEO CHANGED MY MIND ON ALWAYS WANTING TRX4m.. SO IM THINKING REDCAT ASCENT 18.IT IS GONA BE FOR ME… 👍👍. EVEN OUT OF THE BOX ITS A BETTER RIG… (Except Stock Tires). BUT ALSO WAS RELEASED WITH A TON OF REDCAT UPGRADES YOU CAN BUY FOR IT… THATS HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO RELEASE A NEW RC.. RELEASE THE UPGRADES THE SAME TIME 👍👍. AND CHEAPER PRICE TOO 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nice comparison! I need to do some serious scouting to find a primo spot like yours. How do you like those RCAWD portals for the SCX24? The Ascent 18 is exciting. Any time there's a new platform it's exciting. I just got a paycheck...even though the brass upgrades are too $$$ I'm gonna get the inner/outer front portal covers.
Kool ...I stopped building micro it was great for awhile but after a few 500 dollar builds its just to pricey a 1/10 kit from any big brand is cheaper I still luv my minis but they are wayyyyy to expensive to build ok rants over 😅😊
I have been trying to convince my friends the redcat was a better buy. you have definitely convinced me even more. he is still not convinced. somehow he still thinks that its a fair comparison to have a stock redcat go up against a trx4m with $600 worth of brass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 idk how that logic works but good luck to anyone else who still thinks that makes any sense.
That was an awesome comparison Brent.I wonder how the trx would do with a more low slung body shell, like the other two. The over all cost always wins me over. I’m such a cheap skate!😝👊🏼
Great comparispn and test. I'm still with the SCX24, but the portal axles on the Ascent are a great pro
Thank you very much Dirk
Amazing video nice sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you very much
Very nice cars, good video friend👍💪😜👋
Great job bringing price point into perspective. Redcat is Awesome! I just wish for some aftermarket support for FMS' 1/12 scale product line.
Thank you the problem with fms is they make so many different scales and models it get hard to find upgrades for some of them and have to make your own
Yeah it is hard to believe how much better the Ascent is doing .. Very cool
I love you took the time to show the water fall flood thing i did the rewind to check in out😊 Awesome spot really awesome trucks ❤
The Redcat from the start has shown good performance and with the wheel/tyre needs no more spent. But showed the other 2 up with a lot of money spent on them, but know the TRX4m body would hinder a bit but my Landy looks so cool. Shame that they do not support the UK but we cannot have all.
I am very pleased with redcat its strange they don't make it available to the over seas market they would probably sell a bunch
Awesome video comparison, everyone says the Redcat is the car to beat but this shows why. What you get for the price is awesome
Thank you very much I really appreciate it

But that was super impressive.

I;m actually deciding between a redcat and an scx24 right now this is perfect comparison Brent thanks for the info brother...
Thank you very much Paul hope you have a wonderful weekend brother

Thank you Mark that's a crazy cost for a trx4m I'm always amazed at the price difference between countries hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend
Redcat for the win!! Save a load of $ buy some more RC's!
Exactly more companies need to make stuff that preforms this good without dumping a bunch of money in it
Great vid! The Redcat definitely has the better performance of the 3. I have a highly moded 4m Bronco that I'm a little disappointed in too! I gotta have an Ascent 18. Super cool rig!
Its so easy to wrap a bunch of money into a crawler of any scale
Nice run through the challenges and the RC did really great! I am looking forward to getting out with mine this weekend!!
Your going to be impressed I can't get enough of this thing
I love this type of comparison video, great work man! I was super pumped about the trx4m when they first came out but now I don't know if I will ever pick one up. Between FMS and redcat there killing it lately, always love me some scx24 though.

Thank you Mike the Ascent 18 is so good hope you have a great weekend brother
Nice head to head matchup Brent! The Ascent holding strong!👍😊
Thank you Jeremy
Isnt it crazy how well its doing, crushing it for 1/4th the price!!! Awesome!
It is really great especially for the money
I totally agree!
That was an awesome comparison Brent.I wonder how the trx would do with a more low slung body shell, like the other two. The over all cost always wins me over. I’m such a cheap skate!😝👊🏼
Nice comparison! That redcat is impressive.
Thank you ibam really liking it
I definitely agree brother redcat for just rims it did awesome brother
Which tires and wheels are you running. I just bought the Red Ascent.
It did really really good. I’m pretty impressed! Your comparison video is great too.
When I ordered mine, I went ahead and bought some upgrades along with it so total bill was about $300.

Should be interesting.
Lol you went all in
@@AdventureTimeRC lol 😂 there’s a lot more upgrades available but yeah I did get a few and probably some I really didn’t need to, but… I did. Maybe worth it, may not be. I’ll find out

What is the wheel and tire combination?
Here is a Amazon link for the wheels and tires amzn.to/3ZD6rP5

The approach angle on the Ascent is great really liking it thanks for watching
@@AdventureTimeRC 🤙🤙🤙
Redcat best bang for your Buck
Definitely thanks for watching Thad
Great honest review.
Thanks for the showdown!
Thank you very much
Bullyings bad m'kay
Lol

I really like the Redcat it does great the upgrades are pricey but just wheels and tires really did a great job
Kool ...I stopped building micro it was great for awhile but after a few 500 dollar builds its just to pricey a 1/10 kit from any big brand is cheaper I still luv my minis but they are wayyyyy to expensive to build ok rants over 😅😊
I have the other ones and just ordered a silver ascent 18 , seems to do good , if you put the Swamp Claw's on the bronco it would make it😊
My blue rig just showed up a few hours ago...
Awesome
What chassis is on your trx4m?
Unfortunately I don't know my friend gave it to me it was a brand I haven't herd of it did a video on it would have to go back and watch the video
I’m way late to this but new right away the redcat just do to the lexan body of the the other much heavier hard bodies.
Thank you very much I love the Redcat works so good
the redcat did do very well, but it was a lexan body and the power wagon is a hard body. I'm not sure if the trx-4m is a hard body
I have been trying to convince my friends the redcat was a better buy. you have definitely convinced me even more. he is still not convinced. somehow he still thinks that its a fair comparison to have a stock redcat go up against a trx4m with $600 worth of brass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 idk how that logic works but good luck to anyone else who still thinks that makes any sense.
Add $50 in brass portal covers and a brass diff cover on the ascent and I'm running 10 the scale lines I run with my modded ascent 10
That was an awesome comparison Brent.I wonder how the trx would do with a more low slung body shell, like the other two. The over all cost always wins me over. I’m such a cheap skate!😝👊🏼
Lol cheep for the win
