Redcat Gen9 with Detailed International Harvester 800A Body
The Redcat Gen9 Scout 800A 1/10 4WD RTR Scale Rock Crawler has been designed with ingenuity and an obsession with detail. This truck features a two-speed transmission, updated portal axles, precision suspension geometry, zero bump steer, high grip tires, and a highly detailed body with a rear pivot mounting design.
The first thing to look at with this Gen9 is the officially licensed International Scout 800A body. The body is molded in three separate pieces which allows for a more realistic full-depth interior. The body is internally braced and uses a rear locking pivot mechanism with dual quarter turn fasteners up front. This system reliably secures the body in place and provides easy removal when needed. The interior uses injection molded dash, seats, pedals, shifters, door levers, window cranks, and much more to add incredible realism.
Powering the Gen9 is a powerful 550 motor and 40A ESC. The 2-speed transmission delivers power to the updated portal axles. The updates made to the portal axles have eliminated both bump steer and axle sway! This allows the driver to take more precise lines and ultimately have more vehicle control. Portal axles provide more ground clearance without needing bigger tires. On the GEN9, much of the gear reduction happens inside the portal axles, which means less chassis

Gen 8 performance was better but I like them both 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Both are great rigs, agreed @peterali2127🤝

[@RcKukoerr]

Good 🔥🔥

[@sammygonzalez7627]

Gen8 is a beast, gen9 need to shorten the Shocks with fuel tube...at least 7mm to make them 90mm. Great video Ricky...what motor in Gen9 ?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

The motor is a HOBBYWING Fusion 1800 kV

[@Thetruckingrcenthusiasts1303]

I'm running the castle copper head 10 with a castle 3800kv sensored motor tune in crawler mode with a slow throttle ramp

[@sammygonzalez7627]

Which of the two you consider to be the better one?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Like them both .. Favor the Gen 9, it’s not so top heavy, like the clearance with the shorter bumpers. Like the Gen8 since it makes you drive it, it’s a good challenge, like that there’s room for an interior

[@MrTomRcMan]

Like both but definitely gen8 they are just some beasts love my gen 8 though my gen 8 is the gen9 prototype they sold me there prototype so i got the gen8 with the 2 speed tranny before the gen9s was even available and introduced
