Overview
Upgrade your Redcat Ascent-18 suspension with the Power Hobby 53mm Threaded Aluminum Oil Shocks. This complete set of four shocks features CNC-machined aluminum bodies, threaded ride-height adjustment, and proper oil-filled damping — a major upgrade over stock units for serious 1/18 crawling.
The Ascent-18 is a capable 1/18 scale crawler, and properly tuned oil shocks make a dramatic difference on technical terrain. Threaded bodies allow quick on-trail ride-height changes to adapt to different conditions.

Performance Benefits
