The Redcat Racing RER41815 is a premium heavyweight upgrade for the High Steer (HS) steering system on the Ascent-18 platform. CNC-machined from solid brass and finished in a sleek black coating, this link replaces the standard plastic steering rod. It serves two primary purposes: increasing steering precision by eliminating flex and adding crucial unsprung weight to the front axle to improve climbing traction and stability.
Vehicle Compatibility
This link is specifically designed for the "High Steer" geometry found on brushless 1/18 models:
-
Ascent-18 Brushless (Performance upgrade)
-
Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless
-
Ascent-18 (Compatible only if equipped with the RER41517 HS Axle Housing
Key Features
-
Lowered Center of Gravity (LCG): By adding roughly 13g of weight directly to the front axle, it helps keep the front tires planted during steep vertical climbs, reducing "front-end lift."
-
Increased Precision: Unlike plastic links that can bow or flex under the pressure of high-torque servos, this brass link remains rigid, ensuring your steering angles are consistent and accurate.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: The black coating provides a scale-realistic look while protecting the brass from oxidation and trail debris.
-
High Steer Clearance: Specifically arched/shaped to clear the differential cover and other axle components even at the extreme steering angles provided by the High Steer system.
