Redcat Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless - Overview & Driving Action [Video]
By: Tim Gluth
I can't deny it, I'm a sucker for a good-looking International Scout R/C rig. When the appearance is backed up by performance, then that's just icing on the cake. So, when Redcat introduced a brushless version of the Ascent-18 International Scout II, that just put the cherry on top of an already irresistible sundae.
Already owning two of the brushed Ascent-18 Scout II models, adding a brushless version was, in my mind, a no-brainer. Let's take a closer look at this rig and see what sets it apart from its brushed counterpart.
