Redcat Launches Ascent-18, a 1/18 Scale RTR Rock Crawler

released already_covered Redcat Racing SNU fit: 72/100
◄ Already covered in episode 373 — a matching product link is in that episode’s description.

This is exactly the kind of community 3D-print accessory for a crawler platform (Redcat Ascent 18) the show favors: cage/interior for a scale crawler, cheap price point, direct fit to a platform the show has covered repeatedly (Ascent 18 variants). It's a minor accessory rather than a new kit/system, so it doesn't reach the 85+ tier, but it fits squarely in the 65-85 community 3D-print band with good scale interior detail appeal.
