I'm glad injora has cheaper but quality items. Being disabled and on a fixed income, a r/c hobby is difficult to keep up with the hobby. Great video as always.
So glad Injora is coming out with stuff for this truck now. Im building his & hers trucks so everything is costing double, but worth it to have the wife out on the rocks with me
Loving my Redcat, I've got a few Injora bits, wheels and links(and some RBSLs). Otherwise, mostly stock. It crushes lines and I have it setup for class 1
Perfect video to show off the budget upgrades for this truck. It's super cool that you make it a family activity too. Thank you for what you do to support the RC community. Sign me up for the "Cape Crawlers Customized" extra brass parts lol.
Thanks for the date and always enjoy the content. I am glad to see injora is dropping the parts for them. I am still waiting for the release on my Ascent 18 and it to ship. 🤞 Can always use some updated parts used or not.. 😁
Nice! I’ve solely used Injora upgrades on my SCX24 and I’m really pleased with its performance. Not too expensive, and a leap in its capability. Looks like it’s doing the same for the Redcat!
love your work, especially the part where your son was spotting for you. I have an Ascent 18 I added brass wheels from my Trx4m I would love to be considered for your brass upgrades I don't get too many upgrades. Thank you and keep the videos coming.
I love watching your videos man. Keep up the nice work & honest reviews on products. My buddy just bought the redcat 1/18 & its stock. He loves it. 18:20
Definitely could use some brass for mine still rocking the plastics. This video made my night so happy to hear injora is helping out with affordable options!! 🎉
Love your content, dude. My boy has an FMS K5, and we are having a blast together. My wife even likes these mini trucks. I have had my eyes set on the ascent18 since it came out. If you are still giving away the brass, it would help a family get into the hobby.
I'll take your slightly used upgrades. I bought this exact truck for my wife. I am slowly getting her into the hobby. She doesn't want to spend any extra $ at the moment.
Thanks for the info. The only weight I've added so far is the brass beadlocks, so the stock servo has done well, but I'm sure it wont last once I add more weight.
Did you modify the silicone inserts? Your tires are flexing far more than my Injora tires on the yellow inserts. I am running brass wheels, front portals, and diff covers, so the truck is nearly as heavy as yours.
I wish Injora made parts for the CR18P platform, dont know why they completely left that out. Being in Europe ordering parts from Asiatees or Fair RC gets very expensive.
thanks for being honest about the redcat parts being expensive. i just had a conversation about the furitek system being far more expensive than just this rig; that doesn't match in value compared to the fusion in 10th scale. there is certainly inflation and we should stop being conditioned to think there is value; considering you can't sell your rig for more than even half what you upgraded it, that should tell you right there how valuable those upgrade parts really are.
I want to buy my first rc car I want to buy a 1/18 or 1/24 scale rc crawler and my budget is 200 dollars but I don't know which one should I buy can you help me
if your budget is $200, the ascent 18 isnt a horrible choice honestly, just know that from right now it may be awhile before you get your hands on it, i ordered mine a few weeks ago and they are saying mid July is probably the next round of shipments, but with injora coming out with a bunch of stuff for it, you will be able to equip it pretty reasonably for $80 i think

Thank you for taking the time to weigh the different parts. Very informative.

It's nice to see budget-friendly components for a budget truck. Shout out for the giveaway, someone will get some nice options.

I love the kids commentary. I can’t wait for my 3 year old to slow down enough to be interested. So far he just likes to look at them.
Good sign…Technical driver not a basher
Great video as always!
Always love seeing how well involved Axel is with you and the hobby.

Awesome video Adam! I just called my lhs today and put a order in for the blue ascent 18! Can’t wait to try it out and start upgrading!
Definitely could use some brass for mine still rocking the plastics. This video made my night so happy to hear injora is helping out with affordable options!! 🎉
Shoot me an email with your shipping info and I’ll send them your way!
@@CapeCrawlers email sent! Thank you so much man! Can't wait to get this stuff on🎉 This email will have a blue skull pic.
Injora has been key to the micro crawlers being as popular as they are. Love that they entered the ascent 18 game!
Always appreciate your input on all products. Keep the videos coming!
I wouldn’t mind those upgrades, the little man reminds me of how fun playing outside was as a child too….
Great video! Can't wait to get my Ascent 18. Been on back order since April. Looking forward to grabbing some of these upgrades.
I hope they release them soon!
I bought a few redcat upgrades and now adding injora. Awesome video!
Love the mini scale trucks. I just bought the ascent 18 and the fusion. Redcat is stepping it up
Thanks for the brass upgrades between injora and redcat, now I know the weight between the two. Nice content.
Love your content, dude. My boy has an FMS K5, and we are having a blast together. My wife even likes these mini trucks. I have had my eyes set on the ascent18 since it came out. If you are still giving away the brass, it would help a family get into the hobby.
Great video as always. It's nice to see affordable upgrades for an affordable rig.
Great video. Loving the commentary also. Can’t wait til my son is able to drive alongside me. I’m interested in the brass upgrades you’re giving away
I keep debating on upgrading mine. Added the it4@ body and some wheels and that’s about it. Never complain about good used upgrades though
Great video Adam! Definitely putting these Injora upgrades on one of my Ascent18s. Could use a set for my other one tho 😉😂
I have been waiting for one. 🤤 For a few weeks now. I can't wait to get her. 🤩
Thanks for the vid fellas 🫡
Hi,
Have you replaced the servo? If so which one did you use? I could not find an option -not sure what will fit.
Yes I did. The new Torq servo fits, as does the LGRP tremor
@@CapeCrawlers awesome! Thanks!!!
Really appreciate all these comparisons! Currently have a mix of redcat and injora brass on my ascent18 and the furitek kit and its killer!
It's crazy capable with the brass and furitek kit. Really a great platform to build on.
@@CapeCrawlers Currently battling with a stutter at super slow crawl speeds. Waiting to hear back from furitek on possible solutions
Great video as usual. My grandson is saving for upgrades, so......
Keep up the good work.
I would love some used upgrades i recently ordered the truck so i don't have any yet... great video as usual great little crawler too..
What size are those those tires from little guy racing?
I'll take your slightly used upgrades. I bought this exact truck for my wife. I am slowly getting her into the hobby. She doesn't want to spend any extra $ at the moment.
Nice vid! The Ascent18 is an awesome little rig, but some extra weight seems to help a lot. What servo are you running with that setup?
I'm running the LGRP tremor servo. I like it a lot and it's one of only a couple that I found will fit the stock mount.
Thanks for the info. The only weight I've added so far is the brass beadlocks, so the stock servo has done well, but I'm sure it wont last once I add more weight.
How much total cost is it for total redcat brass versus the $79 for injora at your door next day on amazon.
I would have to add it up again, but I dare say the redcat upgrades were over $200. Closer to $300 if I remember correctly.
How much they cost total
I have bought injora and redcat brass upgrades and I have to say the injora parts are really nice for not a lot of money
Did you modify the silicone inserts? Your tires are flexing far more than my Injora tires on the yellow inserts. I am running brass wheels, front portals, and diff covers, so the truck is nearly as heavy as yours.
A lot of the tire deflection is likely due to how soft the LGRP Black Labels are.
I did not modify them. The LGRP tires are soooo soft so that's probably the cause.
Guess I'm shopping for Injora parts now!
I wish Injora made parts for the CR18P platform, dont know why they completely left that out. Being in Europe ordering parts from Asiatees or Fair RC gets very expensive.
It is nice injora has these upgrades. Just wish sometimes they would get with the community on some things.
Great information. Thank You
I would love to get something like that from the man himself of mini crawlers
Truck did fantastic on the rocks
It's a tank!
Where is this park at ?
Yarmouth Mass.
I’d love to have some brass parts for mine
thanks for being honest about the redcat parts being expensive. i just had a conversation about the furitek system being far more expensive than just this rig; that doesn't match in value compared to the fusion in 10th scale.
there is certainly inflation and we should stop being conditioned to think there is value; considering you can't sell your rig for more than even half what you upgraded it, that should tell you right there how valuable those upgrade parts really are.
Upgrades are a sunk cost for sure
My sons redcat is starving for upgrades we would definitely take some used parts
Wonder if Injora will come out with a chassis for the Redcat? 🤔
I'm sure they will
Headed out right now with all that stuff
Who knows when a lcg is gonna be ready!?
I want to buy my first rc car I want to buy a 1/18 or 1/24 scale rc crawler and my budget is 200 dollars but I don't know which one should I buy can you help me
Get a furitek cr18p Evo pro
if your budget is $200, the ascent 18 isnt a horrible choice honestly, just know that from right now it may be awhile before you get your hands on it, i ordered mine a few weeks ago and they are saying mid July is probably the next round of shipments, but with injora coming out with a bunch of stuff for it, you will be able to equip it pretty reasonably for $80 i think
Good info, would also be up for some used upgrades.
I would go with the Evo Pro myself. That is still my favorite RTR
Nice Work
great video.
Cool
