Redcat Racing Ascent-18 · RER43481

Its included receiver replaces the integrated factory receiver. Check motor mesh carefully: Furitek warns that the stock motor-mount holes may need slight adjustment.

Furitek offers this 2S package with receiver and 11T pinion as a component option. Motor-mount modification may be needed; it is not a guaranteed drop-in installation.

Installation notes

  • Use the receiver included in FUR-2525; the factory integrated brushed ESC/receiver is removed. FUR-2526 is a different receiverless package.
  • The complete package is 2S only. The ESC’s separate 3S capability does not rate the supplied motor for 3S.
  • The package includes an 11T pinion, not the 12T listed for FUR-2526. Recheck gear mesh before powering the drivetrain.
  • Furitek warns that slight motor-mount hole modification may be required. This is not a guaranteed modification-free installation.
  • Current High Steer manual lists RER28451 R3C 2A-BS electronics, matching the original system identity. This is a source-backed offering, not a confirmed owner installation.
