Overview
Combine durability, weight, and clean styling with the Power Hobby Aluminum Rear Outer Portal Housing with Brass Counterweights. Designed for the Redcat Ascent-18, this set pairs CNC-machined aluminum housings with integrated brass counterweights — delivering both impact resistance and traction-enhancing low-mounted weight.
This combo upgrade gives you the best of both worlds: aluminum durability where it counts, plus brass weight at the rear axle for improved crawling stability.
