FULL Rework of the Redcat Ascent Fusion!

This is the ultimate mod set for Redcat Ascent Fusion!

When I tested the Redcat Ascent Fusion (https://youtu.be/jPx5HSszdtI) recently, it was capable but also near its limit. I loved the premium finish and the aesthetic of the rig that Redcat has clearly set out to achieve (successfully, I might add).

However, the front end of the rig is a busy mess. There's bump steer under shock compression. The servo is limited by the janky CMS (Chassis Mounted Servo) setup. And there's no rear tray or bed, which means in its stock config, the Ascent Fusion is not legal for WRCCA Performance Scale comps!

I wanted SOA (Servo On Axle) and I wanted a rear tray. To achieve that with this design, I needed to make FOUR changes:

• SOA bracket and 4-link setup
• motor mount to accommodate this change without having to swap the motor for a stubby outrunner (this isn't the Redcat Ascent Outrunner!)
• rear tray for WRCCA compliance
• cantilever shocks in order to fit the tray!

And I also threw in some extra value to address those wibbly-wobbly foams in the tires. You might say I've had a busy week! Let me show you what I've been up to!
