Front & Rear Axles Overview:
Take your Redcat Ascent-18 to the next level with a complete metal axle and steering upgrade built for serious crawling — combining rugged aluminum strength with strategically placed brass weight for unbeatable stability, traction, and control on the toughest terrain.
About the Aluminum Axles Set
Engineered for Rugged Durability
This Redcat Ascent-18 aluminum front and rear portal axle set delivers exceptional durability thanks to precision CNC-machined aluminum housings that resist flex and impacts on demanding trails. Designed specifically for the Ascent-18, it ensures a perfect fit while improving overall drivetrain stability and long-term reliability.
Weighted for Superior Traction
Integrated brass portal covers, steering knuckles, differential covers, and steering links strategically add unsprung weight low on the chassis. This lowers the center of gravity, improves balance, and dramatically enhances traction, side-hill stability, and crawling control on steep, uneven terrain.
Optimized Steering and Balance
By eliminating flex and increasing rigidity in critical steering and axle components, this complete upgrade sharpens steering response and suspension performance. Combined with easy installation and a premium metal finish, it’s an ideal all-in-one solution for serious crawlers seeking maximum performance and durability.
