Source: redcatracing.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by amazon.com. The Redcat Racing manufacturer page (H1 "Redcat Ascent 1:10 Scale Brushed Electric Rock Crawler", part RER22767) confirms this exact model — the 1/10 LCG brushed crawler, not the brushless Ascent Fusion or the 1/18 Ascent-18 — and its Tech Specs list a 42T RC550 Brushed Motor, 4 Wheel Drive, RTR with RTX-4C 2.4GHz radio, Battery "Not Included", and a US MSRP of $299.99. The Amazon US listing (Redcat Racing Store; Model Number "Ascent 1:10", Manufacturer Part Number RER22767, Scale 1:10 Scale, Is Assembly Required: No, Batteries are Included: No) corroborates the same model and its RTR/no-battery configuration, with reviews referencing a ~$300 street price. Length is published only in millimeters (444mm) and the manufacturer gives no RTR curb weight (Amazon's "10 Pounds"/"22 inches" are shipping-box figures), so lengthInches and weightGrams are left null rather than converted; waterproofElectronics is null because only the servo, not the ESC/receiver, is explicitly rated waterproof.
