Redcat gen 8 v2 out on the course! for Casitas crawlers

[@Casitascrawlers]

Thank you for getting the Redcat out they had a sale & people had posted videos of the Marksmen & Gen 8 so it made me get my Marksmen out then l got my Gen 8 out & cleaned it up & got it out this morning. I lowered it abit & went through all the shocks & replaced the oil. I have a Holmes Hobbies 550 motor in it I believe a Crawlmaster & 1080 esc. It was so much fun to get it out it. If there was a top 10 crawlers of all time the Gen 8 would definitely be on it the Scout body is perfect something different I had moved the links to give it a shorter wheelbase because I had a Proline 66 Chevy body up I was going to put on but I put it on a different chassis so I had to return it to stock length. And yep it tipped over a few times😂 I was getting frustrated because the front bumper kept hitting after driving rigs made to climb more effectively but I love the scale goodness of it I’ll probably but a light bar on it now since my interest had s been renewed. Bottom line the Gen 8 never gets old & Redcats progression has really taken off. I have the Gen, Marksmen, Windigo, Ascent & now the Fusion & if you don’t have a Fusion do yourself a favor & get one & then take your Redcats out to see how much they have progressed. Much thanks for taking the time to get yours out it’s a pleasure seeing it out looking so good. 👍🙌

Forgot I to have the wendigo! Need to get that out also, but I put a 5200 kv motor in it and it is uncontrollable!! Have to power down for some good running! Thanks for getting this ball rolling😁

Nice truck, I've wanted one of those since they came out. Thanks for sharing

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Nows the time! Thanks

I have 4 Gen8....love all of them. I really wish the scouts body was smaller 😅 it's closer to 1/8 but still a lot of fun. Probably my favorite thing about them is the adjustable wheelbase making it easy to swap bodies

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Me to frankie! One of the easiest wheel base adjustment in the market!

I love my GEN8v2.. its my Go-To crawler. Have some brass on it.. Put heavier shock oil.. need tires.. but its an animal !! Have a 1080 hobbyWing esc and holmes hobbies 550 to install still

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Nice, I think it's time mine got some more love!

[@RcDungeon]

I never understood the shade that gets tossed to Redcat myself. The Gen8 is a great platform. Simple mods those Gen8s will kill it. I've owned 3 of the Gen8s and they alp held up fantastic. You can do DL in full droop and some brass move stock sliders up trim body little bit and its unbelievable how well those trucks will perform for a big body heavy rig. Great video thanks for sharing with us.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Agree 100 percent!!

[@TrokaRC]

Casitas get out there. Just got the marksman myself. Glad you mentioned the turning issue but that it doesnt effect crawling.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Thanks 😁

[@Casitascrawlers]

Man the Marksmen is 100% a blast regardless of steering angle go out & have fun I don’t even think about it because I’m mobbing over everything in sight. There are a few simple mods you can do to increase the steering angle abit it definitely increased mine.

[@toeshifter]

Thanks for the video. I have a Gen 8 in my cart right now. Only decision is Green or Purple?

[@Casitascrawlers]

I have the Purple & I love it but I actually want the Green now as well the paint itself is nice & the colors are deep & have abit of flake in them.

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Purple would have been my choice 💜

[@kevinbreaker2683]

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Red cat probably had a lack of sales.That's why they listen to the cry babies,,,

[@gerrysoldguyreview]

Or what I think is they threw great service in the big guys faces!!🤣

[@kevinbreaker2683]

A company should not listen to cry babies🤔

[@oldguycrawler.151]

So a company selling a product should not listen to it's customers.............interesting thought.
