Tiny Truck Showdown: TRX4M vs. Ascent 18 - New 18th Scale Champion?

We're pitting the Redcat Racing Ascent 18 against the long standing 1/18th scale RTR Champion The Traxxas TRX4M

Disclaimer: I know there are other models in the class that deserve a shot, but I don't have some of them and my CR18P and FCX24 are both too modified to participate in this fairly. Also, mic issues, but I did my best to remediate the problems.

We're going to test both vehicles in a series of challenges that cover all of the things I expect my 18th scale crawlers and trail trucks to be able to do. Who will come out on top? This video will cover the performance aspects of both trucks mainly. Its pretty obvious which one of the two would win a beauty contest and it's name starts with a T.

This video is also kind of a mini review of the Ascent 18. Its awesome, go get one while they're cheap!

I hope you enjoy the video I had a ton of fun making it and I even tried some new things! I like both of the trucks quite a lot and am really impressed with the new Redcat model. Hopefully the aftermarket will embrace the Ascent with the same enthusiasm they had for the TRX4M and the SCX24. I could see some awesome builds coming out of this platform!

Thanks for watching!
