Scale News Update - Is this a Joke? - Episode 127

[@jevries]

Thanks for the item on the RC Lowrider! Redcat did a marvelous job turning the scratch build RC Lowrider chassis I made into something truly proffessional looking. It works like a charm and all I can say it's a HUGE succes already. A true collectors item!

[@HOGSIDESJTV14BOSSHOGRECORDS]

Thanks JEVRIE for the candy red 64.its what its supposed to be.we don't take our real lowrider out all the time.we enjoy them all the way tho.when the sun out the impala are out.yadddamean💯🤘🏼HOGSTYLE CC

I'm glad that I was able to break Josh with that photo of "The Lloyd."

[@rcpatinaguyllc2655]

You did that? LMFAO

[@nukedathlonman]

Hmmm... "The Lloyd".... Christopher Lloyd? If so, then I'm going to guess the next one might be named "The Fox". :-)

[@kennethwood5421]

We need the sheep dog from dumb and dumber! 😆

[@THEMASKEDMASTER]

✌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I was asking people why manufacturers can’t use simple names for rc’s like Bob or Fred instead of long names with lots of acronyms or a name followed by a long number. I wasn’t expecting proline to do it though 😂. I wonder what made them go with Lloyd. That’s too funny 😂

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Body names are usually short and simple. It’s a combo of platform and bodies that usually get long 😁

[@NoiseBoysGarage]

That Lowrider collab is amazing I’ll buy second round or maybe a v2 . I’d pay the $600 for the years of hard work that @jevries put into this project. He deserves it

[@BAcHIGU_]

Jevries has been on the lowrider rc scene for a long time. Look up "real deal 64" Very innovative scale builder

[@sampeer3373]

Radio shack had 1. A 1967 I believe was maroon,i had one was the best Christmas present as a kid. It only had 3 wheel motion

[@DasE30Cuz]

I'll DEFINITELY be getting that lowrider. I used to have a couple of the older RadioShack lowriders when I was a kid. A teal 1958 Impala and a green mid-60s Impala. This Redcat one looks INSANE.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

I have the yellow and red impala and green el camino. Bought them on ebay several years ago. New in the box . It will sale. I am getting one.

[@Arguy1683]

I have the red 64 impala and I believe it’s the 58 green Chevy. Now I just ordered this low rider can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@jevries]

It is Insane! The hopping feels and looks realistic and there's lot's of ways to fine tune it as well.

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

I just watched an unboxing by the designer and it's a lot fancier than a normal rtr. The price tag isn't cheap but it's not a run of the mill rtr. It's impressive.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I hope the 64 does well in sales, it might lead to more scale vehicles that aren't crawlers or semi trucks. And I imagine much of the price is to cover the custom transmitter, as while 4 or more channel radios are common; they don't have the right toggles or switches to control servos so they act like hydraulics. The fact they balanced the chassis well enough so you can hop the front end up and sit it on the back bumper is a solid bit of engineering. They need to release a clear body, as I think that would really draw in a lot of people to the hobby. People can hate on low riders all they want, but that crowd has some of the best painters in the automotive world. If I didn't have half a dozen unfinished projects already, I would consider getting one.

[@paulschryer9571]

Ya, there IS a lot of artistic talent in the low-rider circle ! It would be way cool to see it transpire into a whole new group of RC-ers ! - Maybe the RC group/class could be called..... "the creepers" or "hoppers" ! 🤔 IF, REDCAT is successful with this new segment, - the bodies definetly need to come unpainted in the next batch of kits, so people can do their "own" thing... customize & paint to their liking ! 🙂 Right !!? 🇺🇸

[@jevries]

You gonna love it!

[@Phatjax]

Just to satisfy your curiosity.... yes, there will be a clear body. Its quite the project as well, it's a 6 piece lexan body with tons of injection molded chrome trim pieces.

[@jevries]

@@Phatjax One of the best looking RC bodies out there. Details are beyond.

[@MonsterPartsRc]

I hope it takes off.... which means more body styles... like a regal, a caddy.... or a Lloyd....lol

[@lowrinjuggalo]

Jevries has been working with redcat for 4 years on the 64 lowrider. if u have ever built one 600 buck is really not a bad price.. u can build them cheaper or more expensive depends on u. I'm sure ill end up with 1 or 2 of them

[@jrodri805]

Awesome edition.... Love your blog! I have pre-ordered my '64... super excited for this. Adding it to my collection of RC's for sure... So glad you covered it. I think this is got a lot of buzz across the RC community... a lot of excitement mixed with a lot of Meh..... A lot of folks blast Redcat but I think its a decent RC for the money. Kudos for them partnering with Jevries... who you should definitely give props to. He's been at with custom Lowrider RC's and models for over 20 years. Apparently he was working on this for 4 years with Redcat. He is an amazing guy who has a background in graphics and product design and has been a staple in the Lowrider scene despite being based in the Netherlands. Definetly check out some of his KZbin videos. He's got a worldwide following.

[@jevries]

Thanks Brother, appreciate the shout out!

[@jrodri805]

@@jevries Your story is awesome, man. True dedication... impressed with the fact that you have stuck it out this long. This is definitely a calling.

[@michaelhoyle3266]

I think it could be a big thing, people have been custom building these lowriders for a long time. I think it would be fun to do lowrider RC meets. Not really my thing, but still cool to see.

[@jimbocreation7613]

i am getting a LOWRIDER i like the style ,pretty sure this is going to be collectable stuff in few years regardless

[@eriksapien4528]

That Frame on the redcat lowrider is pretty accurate my uncle used to build lowriders and it looks pretty dead on on a 64 chassis just the side rails are extra ....the x in the center is scale AF

[@northsandiegorc4248]

You also need the new servo mount for the element pan hard upgrade as the new pan hard mount has two nuts that rest inside the frame rails.. existing servo mount will not allow it to work.

[@pgboost]

Great reviews on all including the redcat but if I'm expected to pay $600 before taxes for a hobby grade rc it has to be able to hit really good speeds to bash,race or even crawl with power through alot.great looking car though.

[@jackpoole6120]

I think the novelty will wear off quite quickly on the red cat but it looks awesome!!

[@_.Lumi._]

Wow I'm not into lowriders at all but I can watch these RC lowriders do their stuff all day!

[@nukedathlonman]

No, not really a scale 60's Impala frame... Up through (and including '64) the Impala had an X-frame (it gets really narrow in the center giving an X shaped appearance) as opposed to a traditional ladder shape. The 65 and later the frame changed to a box that gets really wide in the center (the frame rails pretty much follow the rocker panels of the body). But in the aftermarket there's a huge variety of OEM through more traditional beefed up styles of frame's available depending on what wishes to build. So it's not wrong for a low rider. Besides I don't think that's the point - the body looks scale right and I'll bet a will be a ton of fun to master the the low rider bounce! 😆 I'm interested (I'm honestly not into low rider's), but no I'm not going to buy anyone any time soon... The Element pan hard mounts on the other hand got added to the ASAP list.

Best comment!

[@tjenkins1126]

JConcepts shows the 'Lloyd' on a trail truck, but there's a monster truck called the Saigon Shaker that runs a body like that, not sure of the actual reference. They're called Club Plaques, the metal pieces on the package tray rear window areas of lowriders. If people haven't, check out Jevries on the Tubes. He's Danish and has been making scale (working lowriders) for a long time now and has been featured in Lowrider magazine. He collaborated with Redcat on this RC (the blue one at least). It's not for everyone, but neither is crawling or monster trucks or scale semi's or bashers or any of it. Just cool to see a company take a chance and branch out.

[@grandmaster-grouch]

its not a joke and i for one is happy to see this in the RC community, because now i have electronics that i can add to my crawler trucks and track cars... if you are a real driver that like to drive rc cars fast on track you would see the value in dynamic geometry. lucky for us theres no rules for dynamic chassis in the rc world.. its not even frowned upon like in the "Car world" Ive seen some real custom rock crawlers in hollister CA. these trucks can climb over 10 foot sheer walls.. meaning it can climb to the roof of any given house. I plan to replicate that in the rc world

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Are you referring to the electronics in the Redcat? The electronics are nothing new really, just a fast servo and some radio mixing. Active/dynamic suspension has been used in RC crawlers many times in the past, there are some good resources out there to reference. The biggest thing is that the weight of the components never managed to outweigh the benefits. Hopefully you can find a good mix for your needs.

[@blindj]

Exactly as you said I don't think I would use it enough to justify the $600. As cool as it is I think it would have to be $300 for me to justify this purchase. It would be 95% shelf queen and I just wouldn't get much usage.
