Thanks for watching! Here's my review and first run of the RedCat Gen8 International Scout II and I think it's a serious contender in the RC Scale market.
More info here: www.redcatracing.com/Gen8
I think there's a ton of potential in this platform, and I can't wait to start making it my own. Should I do a budget build on this one, or keep it stock? Paint it, like my buddy Hemistorm? Let me know in the comments below!

Excellent review! Enjoyed your thoughts on the rig and those action shots were purrfect!

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

Thanks Greg! I had a fun time putting this one together!

@CallMeAdam2023 4 года назад

The Gen8 is GREAT! I just picked up a rear battery tray off Amazon. As for the hump in the middle, just remove the battery tray, remove the trans then add spacers and longer screws and put the trans back in, Then go underneath and use a dremel and CUT the hump out. I have a GEN8 video on my channel, I do rc videos and reviews.

@BudgetRC_Channel 5 лет назад

Great review. There has been some criticism about some of Redcat's design choices, but your review reminds us that the "scale" side of the hobby is just as important as the "crawler" side, and some of the technical drawbacks appear to be due to scale-based design decisions. Overall, it seems like Redcat has done a pretty good job of catering to both crowds.

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

Yeah, great observation. Not everything is going to appeal to all. It's a pretty decent compromise.

@douglaselliott8298 5 лет назад

Very informative. Glad to see someone more interested in keeping to scale/relatability than will it jump 30ft high repeatedly and not break.

Redcat Gen8 Scout II is so good, I own 3 Gen 8 Scouts. Orange (Upgraded) and Blue (Stock) and AXE edition! These crawlers are just awesome and climb and crawl everything. Most articulate crawler! They are very durable like tanks and the price is hard to beat! Unlike other overrated and expensive crawlers, which the GEN 8 can beat!

@moosejawrc 5 лет назад

Great video. I got one and don't know how far to put in some performance parts. But after running on some trails it is a great rig. Seems main theme is durability of the plastic gears, small bearings and those single point shock mounts. But I love it and is fun, scale potential.

@ryandavis9507 5 лет назад

That's the first thing I did to min is took the body off an marked the fender flare from inside and ground it down. & did what hemistorm did to his I took the door handles from the 10.2 Cherokee body & put the front bumper closer to the body. & put the battery in the back. Used a axail battery plate.

@auxil47 4 месяца назад

I'm crazy about my Gen8, I stripped all that plastic stuff off and I"m running pretty clean I do some rock crawling with it and some indoor pillow obstacles (don't laugh) and have had no mishaps yet. You have shown me some interesting idea's I can do with it if I'm so inclined and enjoy your videos. Oh yeah because I can find no reason to 'uprgade' on my Gen8 I see no reason to spend the money on the newer trucks from RC or anyone else for that matter so for now I'm sticking with what works really well for me and until they make something thats better than my Gen8 I'm staying put, thanks again and cheers.

I believe the servo and the shocks on that are the same as the ones on the gen 7. I’ve had my gen 7 for a little over a year and the servo just died about a month ago. Pretty good life for a rtr servo considering what i did with the truck lol. Also my shocks still don’t leak surprisingly! I pulled my axial bomber out of the box and 3 of the shocks were leaking...Attention to detail gets you places!

Scale Builder's Guild If it’s anything like the build quality of the gen 7 pro, I think it’ll be a great truck.

Provided there's a lot of aftermarket support, and you want to upgrade things down the road, it would be a good choice. If you're looking for sheer volumes of options, the SCX10II is hard to beat.

Great review man.. I am still not sold on this rig.. Redcat did not start out in this hobby to create great rigs, it was to make money.. NOW they realize that they have a customer base and they are trying to capture that.. I personally think they got a long way to go to catch up to the Axial's or Rc4wd's of the hobby. To name a couple. And I think it shows in a lot of the construction.. Sorry to be a doubting Thomas... But I have been down the road with these guys and it was a BAD experience.. All that being said.. I do like the look of the body. Nice to see something different...

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

Considering this is their first officially designed in USA vehicle, I'd still say they did a pretty decent job. It's as good in terms of construction as any RC4WD, that's for sure.

Except for one BIG Faux Pas (the PAINTED OVER WINDOWS!!!!), this is up to the task of really shaking things up!! 😎👏👏👏👏 I hope I didn't offend you, by sort of sticking up for you, when the junior bashers started disrespecting you in that other Video. I seem to offend people a lot easier, since my decline.... I'm actually nervous about posting my SCX10 II RAW Builder's Kit with a Comanche Body on SBG!

Been avoiding this rig for as long as possible. I even thought about buying one of those RC4WD 1/18 Glendales as an evasive measure but I think this video just did me in damnit. Excellent review 👍 and I’ll probably still buy the Glendale lol. Is RC therapy a real thing? Because it’s apparent I’m not the only one that needs help. 🙀ffft ffft!!

I just wish they would have paid as much catnip attention to the Pan Hard Setup, as they did the Bubble Wrap. Can you hear Meow?

I just want to know does the trans and motor setup help performance over a Gen7 pro with Redcat portals. I'm a beta tester so I already have the portals and full closeouts and I feel the difference between the two is the trans and motor setup. Comments please from those who have driven both

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

Well, it probably offers more reduction than the Gen7 would. So more torque and less wheel speed?

Awesome video! I was wondering what would be a better choice, this Redcat or the Axial scx10 Cherokee RTR?

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

I guess it comes down to whether or not you want portal axles. If I could suggest, save a bit more money and get the Cherokee kit, and add your own electronics. It’s overall a much better kit, you’ll have the pleasure of putting it together yourself, and you’ll learn so much more about the hobby that way!

Question I want to add the Yeah Racing Desert Lizard shocks to gime my Gen 8 some more scale look. I measured the stock shocks and they are 95mm. Yeah Racing offers the shocks in 90mm and 100mm, which would be better for my Gen 8? I have 30+ years in RC, but I am totally new to Crawling, I was thinking because the weight of the truck will put preload on the shocks the 100mm would be better so I can keep more travel but I really dont know which way to go

@scalebuildersguild 5 лет назад

Please don't buy those shocks. They're not good. Stick with Incision, Pro-Line, or another top tier vendor.

@@scalebuildersguild thanks I will take a look at those
