The Redcat Racing RER42130 is a set of high-traction, oversized 1.3" soft compound tires designed specifically for the Ascent-18 Apex. These tires are larger than the standard 1.0" or 1.1" offerings typically found on 1/18 crawlers, providing a significantly larger contact patch and better ground clearance. The soft rubber compound is engineered to "wrap" around rocks and obstacles, delivering professional-grade grip for competitive technical crawling.
Vehicle Compatibility
While designed as the factory tire for the Apex, these can be fitted to other models with appropriate wheel clearance:
-
Ascent-18 Apex (Original replacement)
-
Ascent-18 / Scout II (Upgrade – may require wider hexes or trimmed fenders due to the 1.3" size)
-
Ascent-18 Brushless
Key Features
-
1.3" Large Format: The increased diameter allows the vehicle to roll over larger cracks and ledges that might hang up a standard 1/18 scale tire.
-
Super Soft Compound: Formulated for maximum "stickiness" on smooth rock surfaces and indoor crawling courses.
-
Aggressive Tread Design: Features multi-stepped lugs and sidewall biting edges to provide traction even when the vehicle is tilted at extreme side-hill angles.
-
Open-Cell Foams Included: Comes with foams specifically tuned for the 1.3" carcass to balance side-hill stability with enough "squish" for vertical climbing.
