$1k Trx vs $1k Axial vs $250 Redcat Gen7 comparison on the rocks

[@Solatso]

just starting to get into the hobby and I've been eyeballing these Redcat's. Really feeling like it's gonna be my intro into crawlers. Hard to beat the performance for the money it seems. Great video, thank you!

[@TrokaRC]

Nice welcome. Check out the ascent or the ridgerunner if available.

[@sonicelectronic57]

I crawl at parks during lunch at work with a couple of guys. One has a gen 8, the other a trx4 lrd, and I have my cheap everest 10. We can all pretty much do the same things. I'd rather have either of those over mine because of scale, but the redcat isn't junk. I've had it for like 5 years and never broken one thing. Not one. My 8yo has a vaterra ascender bronco that my friend gave him when he was 5 and they are all about the same. They're just toys, people. Unless you're making money in competitions, just get the one you like the looks of and has parts support and just have fun. especially if you're just getting into it, they will all impress you. This hobby has so much BS involved in it.

[@oscararechiga6829]

I agree

[@jweatherly26]

Chiming in after owning an Everest 10 for about 3 years now and recently bought a gen7 for the wifey. The only thing I have replaced on the Everest 10 is a servo horn. First outing with the Gen 7 the front axle knuckle broke off. Second outing the servo horn screw fell out. I have since repaired both and we are happily crawling with our "budget crawlers" I absolutely love Redcat because they gave me an in to this side of the hobby. I will say though entering a hobby like this, if it bites you hard enough you will always want more and its a slippery slope of demising returns...

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

Just love this video comparing the 2 high $$ to a entry priced but stock well designed truck. Was amazing to watch. Thanks for doing it!

So the Redcat did everything the other two did, and I know you have a lot invested in those. Pretty impressed!

[@ujayet]

I did a lift on my gen7 and move the front bumper 3 notched forward for wheel clearance..and soft spring...it's move and climb like a champ.

[@sonorangaming449]

What kit did you put on there? Link please?

[@ujayet]

@@sonorangaming449 when you work on theses things,, there's no kit they sell.. it's just a matter of you doing things yourself, just by shifting things and moving things around to see how you like it,, as for the spring.. I order these blue spring on ebay so they can be softer., I then move the rear axle a few mm forward, doing that required me to order shorter arm links, and cut off some mm from drive shaft,, again it's all about rearranging things and moving things around to your liking that's part of the hobby,, right now I cut off front bumper ends so they can be shorter cause like how it looks.

Sonoran Gaming I trimmed my front bumper, flipped the bumper mount and moved it in a hole on the mount for a better approach angle. I’d say no to lifting unless you want to soley mud it and trail ride, it’ll ruin your center of gravity the higher you go.

[@algunter7490]

Well yesterday I ordered a brand new Redcat Gen 7 should be at my house by the middle of next week. I'm a true die hard fan of Redcat. I have to agree that Redcat gets more hate than any other rc but look at the quality you get for the money. Heck here's a history lesson both Axial and Redcat started out the same year which was 2005. When Axial started out it was a all plastic rig on any of them after 2 years they started having issues as the plastic wore out. So they had to start making better upgrades hence where the aluminum upgrades came into effect. I'm a big fan of both platforms but I love the under dog to. And Redcat is classified as the under dog in most fights.

[@WoodsUnknown]

That gen7 looks awesome. It was sure showing those other rigs. Love the redcats.

Looks like you had some pretty good drivers too. I like Redcat stuff. I have an Everest 10. I'm going to get another Redcat, just not sure which one yet.

[@fnglert]

That Gen 7 is really impressive, not that far behind crawlers four times its price. Main issues I see is it doesn't hold position and the steering angle isn't that good. But, seriously impressive for the price. Might have to get myself one.

[@ShenRC]

Sure is nice saving $750.00 bucks! There tires probably are way better a lot more grip I bet if you put them on the gen7 it would go much better..also the steering did you mod it to turn sharper on your gen 7?

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah the Gen7 just keeps on surprising me. I’m not sure if Chris did the shave for the steering or not. What’s really bad is I am being conservative on the $1k thing for the Trx and Axial.... LoL

The tires are actually not bad, but the foam is terrible. Just using a quality foam (i stuffed some old 2.2 foams i had lying around in there) make quite the difference !

[@matthewbrothers2823]

I did get the upgraded pro version. Ended up using 10 oz of aircraft cg weights on the rims for steeper climbs. I have yet to do the shave mod. But after driving for 3-4 weeks I guess it wouldn't hurt the durability of the knuckles if at all. It was great to see it hanging with the high dollar stuff :)

[@ExocagedRC]

I don't run any weights in any of my wheels, plus our Gen7 class doesn't allow them. I got the sport for the less weight up top. I did the steering mod and that may be the reason for two broken chubs now, I have the CVA's on the way so maybe that will help it live.

[@matthewbrothers2823]

Exocaged RC cool deal, and interesting they don't allow weights. How about in the others? I'm assuming no since the Trx flipped also in the other video.

[@ExocagedRC]

The TRX and Axial are mine, no weights in either of them. We set up the Gen7 class to take advantage of the cheap price to get new guys into the scaler scene and our mods have to be minimal to keep costs at a minimum.

Yeah same trx4 here. Like the first 90 deg turn trx4 and axial took bad line in a pocket whereas the redcat used the Little Rock to cross with the right front.... like I couldn’t believe the other drivers missed lol. Nothing happened that a stock trx4 or axial wouldn’t do stock for any reason

I have a crawler in 1:1 so I'm not a noob in that department. Hope to have good luck with it, Redcat for the win.

[@a807511]

Only thing I've found that I don't like about the gen7 is the permanent locked diffs. I like the idea of being able to adjust my diff fluid to get the effect I want.

[@1TenthScaleRC]

Nice! If they just would have given it a bit more steering angle out of the box it'd be a REALLY capable rig. It's not bad out of the box but definitely needs a couple cheap mods to hang and not lose tires mid crawl :)

[@stevenpangallo6779]

great comparison. My Gen7 Pro is no longer a $270 rig. Had a couple of the MST MPA axles that I was saving for another project, but then started wondering. Solved a handful of issues, increased diff height, increased turning radius, less fender rub and I am pretty sure it is a little bit faster yet even better low speed control. You do have to change your shock angle to keep them from being reversed angled. Moved the spare to the rear and changed out Jerry Cans which are also on the rear.

[@sammyrocamusic]

Exocaged RC what upgrades do you suggest I should do immediately?

[@ExocagedRC]

32p spur and pinion gear. Kimbrough makes one that fits perfectly. I think it’s part #129. 54t. As far as pinion gear goes, 11-12t gets you back to stock speeds. Thats it because the trucks are nice. After a while get a set of the steel trans gears and you’re done with that part.

It really seemed like you tried to make the redcat look weak. Either that or your choice of lines were off because a cat is very capable of all that you just did

All three built in China, so now it comes down to the Money..... 8^) Axial $329 Traxxas $449 Redcat $199 It's a No Brainer........ 8^))

[@ExocagedRC]

You’re forgetting the trx and axial have a LOT of mods so with that in mind the decision is even easier. Redcat wins!

[@timjohnson9406]

A operative gen 7 for $250? Really. Carbon fiber doesn't make anything crawl better,just something to waste money on.

[@PROLIFICSMOKER]

Considering neither one of those rigs has 1000 in them and at the time of this video trx was 400 axial was around 350 I’ve built custom crawlers for over 10 yrs now and I see nothing but a small bit of brass and maybe wheels and tires 😂 1000 my ass

[@remkojerphanion4686]

So I suppose you don't get 4 times the performance for 4 times the money!

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL well I can’t argue with you on that one.

[@kaneb221]

$1000 still doesn't make you a better driver lol

[@bluddywulf6796]

Wheres the 1k trucks? all cosmetics? Lame

[@einaargednochsonn7099]

Im not that deep into crawler stuff, but for me, the Redcat looks more like a Toy.

[@ExocagedRC]

Einaar Gednochsonn not toy grade but they are simple trucks
