Redcat Launches the MT-18 1/18 Monster Truck

Redcat used the backdrop of its SEMA 2024 booth to announce the release of its latest 1/18-scale model, the MT-18. Based on the popular Ascent-18, this tiny monster truck shares parts compatibility with its crawler cousin while showcasing some unique traits.

The MT-18 features straight, solid axles to give it an appearance that’s in line with 1:1 monster trucks. It also features a 58T 180 brushed motor that offers more top-end speed than the motor found in the Ascent-18.

Carryovers from the Ascent-18 include a front-hinged body mounting system, a metal frame, oil-filled shocks, and multi-link chassis links.

Many of Redcat’s upgrade parts will work on the MT-18, and they’ve set this tiny monster truck up to allow for easy four-wheel steering conversion as another upgrade possibility.
