The Redcat Racing RER41617 is a factory-painted replacement body designed for the Ascent-18 platform. Finished in a vibrant vivid orange, this body features the "HS-1" (High Steer) styling, which includes trimmed wheel wells and a narrowed profile to provide maximum clearance for the tires and suspension during extreme articulation. It is a "bolt-on" solution to refresh the look of your crawler or replace a damaged shell.
Vehicle Compatibility

Key Features
-
Vibrant Orange Finish: Features high-quality factory paint that is applied to the inside of the polycarbonate to prevent scratching and peeling during rollovers.
-
Competition-Inspired Design: The HS-1 body is shaped for performance, with a pinched nose and bobbed tail to improve approach and departure angles on steep obstacles.
-
Pre-Cut & Pre-Drilled: No trimming or reaming is required; the body comes ready to drop onto your Ascent-18 chassis immediately.
-
Lightweight Polycarbonate: Optimized thickness to keep the center of gravity low while remaining durable enough for heavy trail use.
