Redcat Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless [Photo Gallery]

By: Tim Gluth
Redcat's Ascent-18 lineup continues to grow with the addition of the Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless Edition. I've been a fan of the brushed Ascnet-18 models, and this new, brushless version has won me over as well.
With its smooth performance and improved turning radius, this tiny truck is a great runner for both indoor and outdoor R/C action. Check out my gallery of the Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless in its eye-catching "Gold Dust" color:
