Finally, after much internal wishing and hoping, Redcat released a small-scale R/C rock crawler, the Ascent-18. In what may have been my quickest announcement-to-purchase record yet, I knew I had to have one of these 1/18-scale crawlers the minute, ney, the second it was announced.

Injora's MBL32 Micro ESC and Purple Viper Brushless Motor Combo appear to be just that; game changers. If you own a Traxxas TRX-4M or Redcat Ascent-18 and want to achieve not only smooth yet powerful low-end […]
