I had a number of them growing up. Still have my old rc10T. But I'd like to build a crawler.

Whatcha thinking about getting? So easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole. I already have high clearance metal bars to install for the 4 link suspension on the Jeep, lolI've been eying some rc's for my sons b-day coming up. And been getting sucked down a rabbit hole for one for me too maybe

Right around the same scale you have. How do you like them? That's a Redcat and a Axial?
These look cool
But so does this one lol

Buffer rides lol, can't trust me around one.
Can't complain but I'd really like too. BRB have to go upstairs for another fucking layer my Polartec leggings aren't doing it for me.

Yup! Itās the redcat ascent 18, SUPER capable out the boxā¦ I have yet to get brass wheels and stickier tires for it, but soon! I wanted a chance to run it a bunch before I upgrade it, so I can see the difference the upgrades make.
And the jeep is actually a $70 clone of a Traxxis TRX4M I bought on AliExpress. Itās called the JJRC c8801. The parts are almost all interchangeable, so thatās where I got the metal links to upgrade it. It is also super capable, but needs oil filled shocks instead of the friction shocks it comes with.
Its also called the jjrc c8809, but the c8809 is the exact same car chassis and guts, with a different body. It also goes by the name of the Austar AX 8560. Same car, different ābrandāā¦but the same car. It is hobby grade too, for sure.

@DarkWeb for the price though, the redcat ascent 18 is one of the best cars you can get out of the box.
If you wanna spend a bit more, look at the new version of the hobby plus CR18P pro. The ājuiced upā edition. Brushless out the box, 3s capableā¦haha gotta talk myself out of it every time I see it.

Yeah, I know lol.....I have a ton of stuff still for the rc10t. A box of carpet car bodies.....and a carpet mini car. My son has a bunch of stuff. But everything breaks quick and I want something I can replace/upgrade the parts. I might even resurrect the rc10t

Yeah, when I first saw it, Iām like āwell, I have two 1/18 crawlersā¦I probably donāt need a third one, right?ā
Then proceeded to watch several hours of footage on the cr18p proā¦
Probably gonna get a brushless kit for the ascent 18ā¦that and some brass wheels, then a servo that can handle the extra weightā¦maybe overdrive/underdrive gears for the portal axlesā¦and try to get the weigh bias towards the front closer to 60/40
