Guys I’ve been told the ch3 on the ascent does work. I hadn’t tried one since an early prerelease model I had that did not work. Didn’t want to give out the wrong info. Don’t really matter much but thought I’d share lol
Excellent breakdown and shakedown dude. I’m truly digging this thing! Think Redcat missed the mark on calling this a 1/18 though. Redcats getting a lot right lately! BIG Like! 👍🏻
And with this, I shall almost certainly buy one of these trucks, and when they come out with plain bodies to make my own truck with, I’ll buy one of those too. Seems like an awesome little beast, and it can be my first upgrade/mess around with project as well. Thanks for showing what this thing can do man!
Glad to see another mini monster truck join the fray. Looks like Redcat put a good bit of effort into it too. A combination of the best parts of the fms smasher and the trx4mt. Also straight axles for ascent chassis… mullet truck?
That thing looks like it would be rad for chasing my cats around! And I would love to know where you get those tiny 3s batteries. I need a few for my crawlers.
Yes. You got the best information ! You know I love the Monster Trucks! This is great stock. And I am eyeballing the new style wheels & tires. What size hex on the wheels?
Oooh nice tip on the FMS transmitter! Redcat including a 4ws rear axle is kinda ground breaking in the 1/18 & 1/24 scale isn't it? You should drop a link to those 3S batteries here. I'm dying to know what the deal is with Lexus lol.
I use these galaxy packs all the time. They’ve been great! That Lexus is just dumb. So I’m beating it down 😆 itgresa.com/product/galaxy-450mah-3s-lipoly-pack/
They gotta offer a SCX6 alternative before that's true. I'm all about Redcat and have bought an Ascent, Vigilante, and Valkyrie. This is a cool little truck and all but it needs to be a whole lot bigger before it gets my money. This truck in 1/5 scale would do the trick.
@@richardfleming9243 I been running the galaxy lipos. They’ve been perfect so far. Haven’t had one die in over a year! itgresa.com/product/galaxy-450mah-3s-lipoly-pack/
@@Shaner014 with a little work it should fit. You’ll have to move the mounts around a bit. The ascent body should fit the monster truck fairly easy as they built in some adjustment to the back of the mt but fitting the mt body on the ascent will require a bit more work.
@ let me clarify my statement, I wish it was at least as big as the LMT 18, Inwould be inclined to buy one. But yes I agree, 1/5 scale would be pretty awesome. 👍🏻

Awesome monstertruck. Thanks for showing the 4WS option's mega. And these big wheels🤩
Thanks for putting the work in Matt, this is hands down the best unboxing/review video of the MT18.
Really appreciate that 🙏

Leave it to you Matt to drop the best video of a new Rc. Great job as always. I may get myself a set of these axles later on
Cool RC,😃 great offroad adventure, awesome video❗✨👍

lets go! ready to see some mini megas out of this one!
With 74mm 1.0" wheels it will look like mega 🤩
👍👍 back watching again I’ve got the red one on the way yeah love my monster trucks
Back watching again, Saturday, November 16 12:00 PM just got message mine be here Monday, I did order two 3S batteries for it

@@jasonbecker4997 I’ve been using these galaxy 3s batts and they’ve been great

But I was just about to get the FCX18 K10 so I could use my FairRC flat bed prize!
Maybe I'll just get the Glacier and this
Great, now im gonna need one of these!
@@jerryhoogeveen lol it never ends huh?!
Yes. You got the best information ! You know I love the Monster Trucks! This is great stock. And I am eyeballing the new style wheels & tires. What size hex on the wheels?
What about putting in a speed motor from the fms smasher ... with all stock electrics
@@JohnnySmith-z8p should work well imo. Planning to try it but haven’t had time to install one yet.
I can confirm the price he states in this video. It is in fact $159.99 without tax. You're getting a lot more truck than the trx4MT.
Great work, awesome truck! 👍
👍👍 man had to show me this, super cool Matt I like it. I’m watching 5:14 PM Tuesday, November 5.
Im getting this over the mini max
Let's freaking go bro is that what I think it is that you just ran over LOL

Awesome review! Btw, my Ascent18's channel 3 works without issue. I think the difference between the MT and ER is just the brake programming.
@@derrickwilliams2903 hmm that’s odd. The only one I ever tried didn’t work at all. I haven’t tried one since release though.
@@2fmrc Hmm. I ordered directly from Redcat on March 8th.
Wish it was easy to get redcat rc's over here in uk but like the MT thanks man
Awesome redcat 😁👌💙✅️
Redcat really is crushing Axial 😅

What furitek brushless system would you put in it. Would the godzilla brushless motor fit
I want one in 1/4 scale running off fuel! ⛽
Got that link to that 3cell lipo? Very sweet mini monster

Wreck it Ralph goes monster truckin'?
Billions?,, Break me off Sum of that $$$ Scratch. I was hoping for an all steer 4AWD.
Are the bodies interchangeable with the Ascent 18?
@@Shaner014 with a little work it should fit. You’ll have to move the mounts around a bit. The ascent body should fit the monster truck fairly easy as they built in some adjustment to the back of the mt but fitting the mt body on the ascent will require a bit more work.
13:13 wait, what was that about seeing a knob work my rear?!
@@patrickgeorge4306 yeah I had the same thought for a sec but it turns very very slowly lol
Damn. I wish it was at least as big as the LMT 😒
1/5 scale would be even better. Why compete with the LMT when there's nobody building this truck in large scale.
@ let me clarify my statement, I wish it was at least as big as the LMT 18, Inwould be inclined to buy one.
But yes I agree, 1/5 scale would be pretty awesome. 👍🏻
Does it crab walk?
@@andyrichey1192 yes. You just have to flip the ch3 switch whichever way you want to walk and turn the front the same.
Wayyyyy too slow IMO, I think I'd prefer a grom . Sorry you didn't like the Micro B I've been really having fun in the house with it and tinkering.
Thats not equal,u cant drive grom inside,this one you can :)
@topqualityfi8216 I can drive it inside just not wide open throttle
You have mailililililil!
Looks like a Chevrolet
Making millions on UA-cam and all that free stuff 😂😅

Looks like i need ANOTHER rig! Thanks Matt and @redcatracingaz 😂
Really surprised at the extra design in this one. Nice vid
@@FYRC15 thanks!
