Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, the Ascent-32 was created to deliver a complete out-of-the-box experience along with upgradable performance potential. At launch, Redcat has partnered with Injora – a leading aftermarket manufacturer — to ensure a full ecosystem of upgrade parts, ready from day one.

The Ascent-32 was built to make crawling accessible to everyone. It’s affordable enough for first-time drivers, but also designed to evolve. With many upgrade options available at launch, the Ascent-32 can be transformed from a fun micro crawler into a capable performance machine.

Despite its small size, the Ascent-32 packs impressive engineering features that make it both durable and capable right out of the box. Straight axles with a 4-link suspension provide stable articulation across uneven terrain, while ball bearings throughout the drivetrain ensure smooth, efficient operation. A clipless, tilt-up body mounting system allows for quick and easy access to internal components, and aggressive off-road tires deliver confident traction on a variety of surfaces. Power comes from an included 300mAh LiPo battery with a convenient USB charger, so new drivers can hit the trail within minutes. The Ascent-32 is available in four color options: graphite, red, pink, and blue, allowing hobbyists to match their personal style.

Small in scale but big on capability, the Ascent-32 can tackle challenging terrain in spaces where larger crawlers simply can’t go. Its lightweight, portable design means your next crawling adventure can happen virtually anywhere — from a makeshift living room course, the back yard, to a groomed crawler course. Its lightweight and small size make it a breeze to take it with you throughout the day, seizing every opportunity to enjoy this rewarding hobby.

The Ascent-32 delivers fun for the entire family. While officially recommended for ages 14 and up, its approachable size and engaging driving experience make it enjoyable for all ages, with parental supervision.

The Ascent-32 is no slouch in stock form, and as the table below demonstrates, the RTR Ascent-32 transforms into a fun & capable machine with the Injora hop-up parts installed.
