RER29167 is a pair of genuine Redcat frame rails for the ASCENT 18 and ASCENT 18 Brushless. Here is what it fits, what it replaces, and when to swap it.
Quick answer
RER29167 is a pair of genuine Redcat Racing frame rails made to replace or upgrade the rails on the ASCENT 18 and ASCENT 18 Brushless. If your rail is bent, cracked, or stripped at a mounting point, this set restores the chassis structure with a factory-fit part.
Why the frame rails matter more than they look
Frame rails tie the front and rear of the ASCENT 18 together, so a bent or cracked rail can show up as odd handling, a tweaked chassis, or a body that no longer sits straight. Replacing the pair together keeps the left and right sides matched instead of mixing a worn rail with a new one.
This is a structural spare part, not a tuning upgrade. It will not change suspension geometry or add performance on its own; it simply returns the chassis to the shape the rest of the parts were designed around.
When a pair is the right call, and when it is not
If only one rail is damaged and the other is straight and undamaged, you could in principle replace just the damaged side, but the part is sold as a set, so buying RER29167 gives you both rails. Keep the good original as a trackside spare.
If the damage is limited to a screw hole that has stripped, check whether a slightly longer screw or a thread repair is a better first move before replacing the whole rail. Replace the rails when the damage is a bend, a crack, or a crushed section that affects how the chassis sits.
RER29167 fitment questions answered
- What is RER29167 used for?
- It replaces or upgrades the frame rails on the ASCENT 18 and ASCENT 18 Brushless. The set includes both rails, so you can refresh the whole chassis frame in one go.
- Which models does RER29167 fit?
- Redcat lists it for the ASCENT 18 and ASCENT 18 Brushless. If you run a different Redcat platform, do not assume it fits; check your manual or the parts diagram for your model first. Fitment is model-specific, so verify your chassis before ordering.
- Is RER29167 sold as one rail or a pair?
- It is sold as a pair (1 set). That means one order gives you both left and right rails, which is useful when you want a matched set rather than a single replacement.
- How do I know if my frame rails need replacing?
- Look for a visible bend, a crack near a screw hole, or a crushed section where the rail meets the bulkhead. A chassis that sits unevenly or a body that will not line up can also point to bent rails. Inspect the rails after any hard frontal or side impact.
- Can I replace just one rail?
- The part is supplied as a pair, so you cannot buy a single rail through this listing. If only one side is damaged, replace both and keep the undamaged original as a spare.
- Do I need any other parts when swapping frame rails?
- Reuse your existing screws only if they are straight and the heads are intact. Because the catalog does not list hardware with this part, check your manual for the correct screw sizes and replace any that are stripped or bent. Have the model's parts diagram on hand before you start.
