Reengineering the Redcat Ascent Fusion!

We recently looked at the new Redcat Racing Ascent Fusion RTR RC crawler (   • I Test the Redcat Ascent Fusion  ). While quite capable, I felt it was about at its performance limit when compared to other vehicles in its class.

I found the front end of the chassis quite busy. The rear end doesn't meet WRCCA comp ruleset standards, the tires have a LOT of sideways play, and the geometry up front just isn't quite right - there's even a little bump steer!

One issue with all this modifying this vehicle is challenging: you already have a good, strong servo, an FOC brushless system, carbon-fiber chassis rails, and a nice, lightweight body. So what do you do to address its shortcomings?

Well, I've spent a week on this and wanted to bring you a path to addressing the issues with as little pain and extra hardware as possible. Let me show you what I've done!
