Brushless Ascent 18: $99 Plug & Play Kit From Furitek!

Күн бұрын

In this video I convert the Redcat Racing Ascent 18 to brushless power! Furitek has released a number of products for this truck, including the $99 brushless starter kit like we have in this video. This kit includes the brushless motor that bolts directly to the stock transmission, a micro receiver that pairs with the stock radio, and the legendary lizard pro esc that offers silky smooth control and endless customization.

I used two 2s batteries wired together in parallel, from a WL toys micro drifter... I double stick taped one on each rock slider... 800mah split pack...

@hikingphotog 3 ай бұрын

I just got a single 660mah running mine, last time I had it out, I ran it for almost 4 hours and only changed out one of the 450mah once (I had a couple 450mah's that wouldn't quite fit in my 284161). Because I'm using the smaller batteries, I've got them velcro'd to the top of the slider one one side, with the esc on the other side.

I have the green in mine I cut some of the front parts out of the green in the front and left the rear normal works really good same tires in mine as well

@hikingphotog 3 ай бұрын

I've been having issues getting it to properly compress with even cut up yellows. I have Injora crawler 1.0 tires (62mm) and Injora beadlocks with brass rings, as well as full brass portals. When I first got these I ordered a set of greens for the back and yellow for the front, but now I'm wishing I had just gone yellow all around cause yellow ain't quite soft enough, at least not with these tires.

@Crawlingrc3903 3 ай бұрын

@hikingphotog maybe the tire inner diameter isn't big enough for them I have some dj crawler 62mm and I saw that the insert was squished a lil bit and they wasn't working either the black label tire lgrp is just right fitment other than that issue trying to find a tire fr them they're good better than the 1.9 ones

is there any point in the throttle curve where the motor visibly jerks the truck forward as if its missing a few steps between speeds? i know some of furiteks stuff has that visible change in speed not an undetectable increase in speed with no instant changes in speed. its hard to explain but some of furiteks stuff has multiple speed thresholds and it jerks between them. right after typing this question your video answered it lol

Do you consider making a high-speed scx24 with IFS? Like a mini Trophy Truck? (2WD?)

@AnyAssumptionBanter 3 ай бұрын

oopha... still expensive. i'm still holding my breath for a competitive to come but i also fear that if one does come, they will price it the same and we won't have competition; same as with most of the mini's they are all priced the same and competition isn't reducing the price. good vid. good attention to the detail about the lack of slop in the drivetrain. most portals have some and this ascent is less than fms while the furywagon had the worst slop i saw

Any chance you can do an updated furitek app basic set up with these new micro motors? All the stuff you do with the ascent18 in this video pretty much.

Hi @Capecrawlers. I am looking to start getting my son into this type of hobbie. What would you recommend as the first brushless setup? He has been bashing with an FTX Truggy (Brushless) but I would like him to slow down and learn to control them a little better. So looked itno Crawling as an indoor and outdoor activity? I was looking at the TRX4m or Scx4 but I would like the car to grow with him (modifications etc). Thank you.

@CapeCrawlers 3 ай бұрын

I think the scx24 with the Furitek brushless starter kit is a great option. You could also look at a brushless RTR like the Furitek katana.

Hi adam, Im looking to upgrade my scx24 gladiator (with the v2 electronics) and is like to upgrade the Electronics to a brushless motor using that combo. I wasnt sure if i had to get a new remote, but since the ascent uses the same remote as the v2 electronic gladiator so im not sure if i need another remote.

@CapeCrawlers 2 ай бұрын

Yes you’ll need a new radio and receiver to go brushless. The V2 isn’t compatible unfortunately. Check out the flysky gt5, or the LGRP radio set.

The katana is $200 and comes brushless with portals and an aluminum skid, etc. Basically more than $100 in upgrades which is the same or less than you’d spend building up a redcat
