Breaking Down Redcat's 2024 Black Friday Crawler Deals

By: Tim Gluth

I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again and again…). This is one of the best times of the year to get into the R/C hobby. With several holiday discounts in play, you can easily explore what makes the radio-control hobby so much fun, plus you can easily check out other avenues of the hobby if you're so inclined.

Speaking of inclines, if you want to jump into the R/C crawling and trail truck scene…you guessed it, it's a great time to do just that. One of the more budget-minded brands on the scene is Redcat, and not only do they offer an array of radio-controlled rock crawlers and trail rigs, but they're currently running an Extended Black Friday Sale where you can save 20% on select models.

My first crawler was a Redcat RS10 Rockslide and after I had my first taste of the slower side of the hobby, I was hooked. Redcat's crawler offerings have only improved since then, with several models geared toward every skill level and every budget.

Here's a look at how you can get into (or give) a Redcat crawler this holiday season:

Redcat's Ridgerunner & Everest Gen7 Black Friday Crawler Deals

Perfect for new hobbyists or anyone new to crawling and trailing, Redcat has several discounted models that won't break the bank. From the basic Danchee Ridgerunner to the decked-out Everest Gen7 Pro, these entry-level crawlers are great for just about anyone.

If you decide crawling isn't for you, you won't have too much money invested. However, if you fall in love with crawling (as I did), you'll simply have more money to spend on upgrades.

Redcat's Ascent & Ascent-18 Black Friday Deals

Taking things up a notch, these models have newcomers and performance-minded crawlers in mind. Whether you prefer to get your kicks indoors or out, the Ascent-18 is a great option (and somewhat of a stocking stuffer) for crawling fanatics and younger hobbyists.

For fans of 1/10-scale outdoor crawling, the Ascent should do just about everything you want and offers plenty of room to expand and customize.

Redcat's Gen8 Scout II and Gen9 Scout 800A Black Friday Deals:

For fans of scale, visual detail (and the International Harvester Scout), the Gen8 International Scout II and the Gen9 International Scout 800A offer plenty of fun and performance whether you're on the rocks or the trail.

Reviews:

I've had the opportunity to own and drive several of these models and have shared my thoughts on them in the following reviews:

Of course, Redcat has much more on sale during its Extended Black Friday Sale. If you prefer bashers, drift cars, or lowriders, Redcat has those as well, with several models available at discounted prices. Plus, you can also earn 2X reward points on purchases during this period.

No coupon codes are required to activate these savings, and discounts are automatically applied once you add items to your cart. Head over to redcatracing.com to learn more about Redcat's 2024 Extended Black Friday Sale.
