FlubRC Ascent-18 H-Series Standard Bed

The Ascent-18 Hilux Standard Bed is compatible with the RedCat Ascent-18.

Cab and Bed are now attached via M3x6 screws! To add to the stability system, we have added a scale rear radiator that acts as the brace and a low profile rear bumper. There is also a 3mm spot for tail lights built into the bed and will come with red translucent lens. 

The Ascent-18 Hilux Standard Bed comes with Tail Lens, M3x6 screws x4, and Standard Bed.

For gluing parts to the body, you can use a CA glue, or my favorite is Shoe Goe or e6000, the rubbery type glue helps with impacts and is also great for Magnets.

We have a new CarbonFiber option we call "Carbon" this will have a slight increase in price, but a very high quality increase including higher temp and impact resistance. It also provides a textured matte finish, this can be painted with out prep, for a fine, scale "bed liner" type finish.

Bodies do require prep if planning to paint. For prep we reccomend starting with 220 Wet Sand with a flexible block, then move to 320 Wet Sand. Use a high fill sandable primer, and wet sand with 400, repeat last step until desired finish is achieved.

When choosing a color and planning to paint, you have options! You can choose the color based on what you would want to see when the paint gets scratched and character gets worked in. Orange, tan, and brown are good colors for showing rust and patina. Silver is the go to for metal or primer type scratches and wear. You can also pick the same color as your paint, so scratches will be less visible!
