The Redcat Racing RER42126 is a specialized body mounting system designed for the Ascent-18 Apex. This set features a hinged design that allows the body to pivot upward for rapid access to the internal chassis components, battery, and electronics. Unlike traditional post-and-clip mounts, this system is engineered to work specifically with the unique geometry of the Apex competition-style body, providing a secure fit while maintaining the vehicle's low-profile aesthetic.
Vehicle Compatibility
