Looks like Red Cat has another winner on its hand.👍🏼
Yep I think so too.
Redcat has a winner there that will be the first winner they have
"Sorry sean" I could almost hear Sean laughing. This looks like it may be a decent crawler w/ a different system in it like you said. The suspension almost seems crawler oriented and w/good articulation.
Upgraded transmission and transfer case all metal now it's time for the axles have a good day thanks for the video with
Stoked to see you get one of these and customize it. I'd like to get one and make similar electronic swaps, but gear it/ set it up as just a 2.2 crawler.
Wow. I love that truck. Definitely will be in my list. Great video as always man.
You were driving 1 half of a Mr. Giggles! LOL! I am surprised he wasn't doing the driving. The Wendigo is interesting truck, hope to see more of it. Thanks for sharing!
I think I might want one of these. Great video 👍
Sweet I like the looks of that and it can take some good punishment 😁. I think your spot on for setup when you get yours. Great work.
Woaw nice boosted scale truck! Enjoyed watching!
SLEEPER!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Damn bro that thing is insane and much bigger than I expected!!!
Thanks for the share I’m liking this thing a lot more after seeing you drive it!!! Just my style hahaha 🤣👍🏼 I may have to add this to the SoFlo Fleet!
This thing looks realy good with a crawler system, Hoping to see a crawl video soon
1st Redcat that ever impressed me! If the repair parts can stay stocked I might have to just get one of those. I appreciated that you were punishing it pretty good.
Nice, the truck looks pretty durable 👍
Great video! That thing took one hell of a beating. Overall I think it’s really cool. Would love to see how you end up tuning it! Thumbs up brother!
The Wendigo really took a beating, and got some good air. Well done and thumbs up.
So sharp 👍
Looking forward to, 💯 yes, nice Driving. NC MOUNTAINS🏞 backyard RC and more 👍
Looks good man. That’s what my Xmaxx does when doing donuts in certain terrain. 👍👍Over here.🔥💯🔥
That thing has some GO for sure 👍👍
nice test run. I laid a similar beating on mine, maybe a touch harder.. I did manage to blow the rear gears. Redcat has a solid rig here. Easily converted to a 1/8 crawler, a formula offroad style rig, or a solid axle MT. I think it's a great addition to the hobby.
Really Nice from Redcat!! Much Better then i though it would be! Fast too!! 👍😎
I definitely want to see this is a sensored system. This video is definitely tempting me to buy one now! 🤣
I just picked one of these up today, Hobby shop got them in right before I walked in, and I was looking at the Traxxas Maxx (i know they aren't in same class) but I like my Gen8 and for under $400 and it looks well built figured I'd give it a shot since it's brushless.
U have any problems with it so far?
Have to say red cat has been coming a long way. That impressed me. And I'm not too big on redcat
Pretty bad ass car! I would make it wider so it dont flip as easy.
Looks like a great vehicle! I have been worried about Redcat ever since my Volcano EPC MT, but this seems pretty great! Obviously it's in a different class than the Volcano EPX, but seems like it will last way longer.
Dang I didn't know that thing could scoot like that. Looks like a fun drive.
Yeah I've had my windigo about three years and it's just finally wearing out
This truck with a sensored bl system would be an awesome video.
this rig seems solid, i want one!!!
I like the axles and the body and it looks tuff
Mamba X with a Holmes Puller Pro V2! Magic!
I like thia. Redcat has come such a long way. I appreciate the fact that they make things affordable. I'm not willing to pay 900 for an Xmass for 700 for an erevo. I have a Landslide XTE and I love it. I'm not an RC snob they a longshot. As long as there are parts on Amazon or Ebay, I'll buy.
Super salto 🤩
That thing's INSANE!!! 😳😳😎😁 Might be great for U4RC, or as you said, a decent Crawler with a different power system. It's just another new Rig I can't afford... But it sure looks like FUN!! 😁 Racer, Basher, Tough....
Crawler? Maybe.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
...... Sean might not want that one back!!! 😜
P.S. I'm subscribed!
I got mine yesterday. And it's a beast on 4s . Yeah I did . But I went back to 3s today. I wanna make it last a lil bit lol . Yes it's a good RC and yes with a sensored system you could get your crawl on
Would love to see the Axe 3300kv system in this one as you mentioned.
Maybe the best of high speed bashing/racing and low speed crawling control.
Sean just called he said he forgot to tell you not to scratch it! But man you're right that is a beast!
We need more of Sean’s laugh. Maybe you could add a audio file of his laugh to future uploads lol
Ya , the Mamba X would make that stock motor more controllable if that's what you want.
But I think I'd go with a Puller Pro R 540-L V2 Rock Crawler motor 4100KV
👍👍dam I want one of these
Nice truck, i would like to get one of those in kit form , so i could put a 1080 esc , and 35-45 turn brushed motor, -make a good trailer -crawler ,of coarse play with shock fluid,-height, and so on,--you know what im getting at, anyway great video as uaual
Your driving is like mine. Bash it and enjoy it. That's the way I was running it the other day. Looking at mods for making it a crawler. Figure it does need the axe system for a crawler and a little more weight in the front. LOL
"Lets hit it a little harder"...hahha!
Yup definitely could use a axe 3300. The body seems to make a lot of noise but other then that this thing looks solid.
yeah the top is whats noisy
I really like this truck. It would be great for my boys to bash.
Wonder how long until we get them in Australia.....
that looks like a pretty durable rig!! what size battery mAh were you using and how much run time do you think you got out of it?
I'm thinking about picking one of these up after just ordering an everest 10 and seeing how slow it is. I love crawling so I understand it being slow but I like the crawler look and want more speed. This might fit the bill. Have you done a speed test, how fast does this thing go?
That seems about as fast as my TRX4 Bronco on 3s with the Hobbywing Axe 3300kv in Hi gear. Cool.
Impressive. Big, but impressive.
awesome reviews!
What type of battery connector for the 3s? Battery size dimensions? I'm ordering the Wendigo RTR now and can't find anything on dimensions or connector type for battery. I'd like to order a battery at the same time. THanks.
Cool video, I'm looking for an rtr thats a better crawler than this one and a little bit less speed but that still has some. And it cant break the bank. Any advice on what to look at? Been looking at the rockslide but it seems very slow
Definitely do a Castle Mamba X with A Holmes Puller Pro 3500.
Save your love for something with a heart beat.
I’ve got a wife. LoL
Nice review, does the motor get hot with 3cell battery?
It looks to be a great little 'crossover' between crawlers and 35+mph bashers. I'm impressed at the beating it took. Just don't ask to drive or borrow any of my trucks. :-D
lol I really didn't mean it to be a torture test lol
imagine this with a hobbywing axe💪😍
About time i had it since Monday I'm like where's the video I know it's coming I know he's going to get it lol
LoL I got it yesterday and got everything I could.
💪🤙🤙
Can you do a how to to program the wendigo I'm fairly new to hobby and have the wendigo but want to know how to program and see what stock settings are at box stock!! Love the videos man
Cool truck. Nice looking axles on there. Seemed to be tough.
When will we see some of your new tires ( landmine, rock beasts, ....) on the ramp? Interested to see how they do compared to the prolines you did.
Yeah I like it. I’ve got to get those tire tests scheduled. Hopefully I’ll have some spare time to get things set up for those tests
IMPRESSIVE! I'd like to see a 2s test.
I'd like to see a *4S test!!!*
I wouldn't mind having one. But i too would change to a more crawling set up. Just change the esc or more too it i wait for the next video
Wow! Looking more videos buddy:) is it possible to make it a full time crawler? Unlike the bomber to wide..Awesome run:)
Needs a mamba x with auxiliary wire to change from drag brake to no drag brake on the fly maybe a new Holmes hobbies puller pro v2 3500kv to pair with it
Are the lower links bent? Either way it took a proper beating!😃
Castle Mamba X and Holmes Hobbies Crawler 3300 v2....pretty darn fast too definatly a bouncer/basher...I definitely want one...
I can't let you have all the fun ...I live 100 miles away from warehouse heading there now to get mine...
It’s a bit bouncy but not too bad. 👍🏻
She took a beating and kept on ticken!
Been thinking of building up the kit, but it seems to perform like hot garbage! Or at least just not to my liking. Wayy too bouncy and tippy, seems to be on its roof more often than not. Thanks for the demonstration man! :)
Hmm. I know thats alot of power on 3S...but I’m thinking its sweet spot run will be on 2S.
I want to see a video of the wendigo VS camo X4
Soo 2hrs in and my redcat gen 8 rear shock is leaking any upgrade suggestions?
I'm impressed and confused. Impressive how tough that sucker is and what it will withstand as far as bashing. Confused how it didn't shit the bed withing the first 5 seconds like a gen8 would have. If the gen 8 had that sort of reliability Axial and the others might feel some competition.
My thoughts is you buy that one from Sean. Put it in a bouncer cage, you know you need another one. Use the body for another build. Also if you change the power system I take donations. LOL
Hmmm now that you mention that, I have been wanting to build a new bouncer out of a spare Capra cage. LoL wow that would be epic!
Exocaged RC if you build it I will watch! Think this could be an epic rig. BTW I believe that you just named this build, so now it must be done.
Are the wheels beadlock?
Also i got a question for u Exo, i got a trx4 weights about 8 pounds total, just got a hold of a mamba x for a very good price and im wondering what would be a good motor for it, trailing some crawling, i was thinking on the HH puller pro but dont know what KV to get. Can u help me on that?
Easy answer as I have the same setup HH Puller Pro 3500kv. You will be blown away by both the low end and the grunt of this thing!
yep that HH Puller Pro 3500 would run it very well
Exocaged RC thanks guys i really appreciate the response. I guess i will be waiting on them to be back in stock
Should I get it
I’d like to see this against the camo x4 🤔
Gerardo Ortiz it looks more durable. My x4 would’ve broke something for sure
gregory murry hmm good to know
Are both axles locked or just the rear?
Both are locked
If it were cheaper I would be interested. BUT then again after my redcat volcano epx pro I do not think I will ever buy another redcat rc. Mine has broke everything within 8 batteries.
I wish they sold this as a roller or a kit with wheels, tires and body less electronics.
Could you possibly do a size comparison with a wraith??
Closest I had was the bouncer and all I could do there was show the width. I don’t have a wraith.
I was just curious because Im in the market for a rock racer and was leaning towards the wraith because if part availability but then seen this wicked little number and suddenly....what's a wraith? Haha
Realbig87 LoL it’s as big as a wraith. Much bigger shocks, way beefier axle housings and it can take a beating.
@@ExocagedRC may just have to pick one up and awesome video, you actually "tested" it pretty well
I think It would only be right to buy that one from Sean and let him get a new one.
well, not now lol I got a new video to put together from today...Sean was way way worse with it.
Lol add the body to the axe platform
I have a feeling that’s going to be done by a lot of people
Definitely too much power for crawler style chassis.. I think it would be sweet with an axe system in it and slow it down a lil bit
I dunno I’m not really sure full frame makes the best basher platform. I can see lots of breakage occurring . I really don't think my Gen8 would take crashes at speed too well. Looks tippy and unstable to me. Like your videos always watch
With all due respect to the wendigo I would be interested in you looking at the kaiju
Nice first thing I’d do is put a good sensored Holmes set up lol
I'm looking for as 540can brushless system by holmshobby I am willing to trade complete trx4kit with radio and traxx have pics on request just want to get my scx10 3 running right
Ouch 😂🙃😕
You were being easy on it compared to Sean. Lol
Dude over at B and C broke his diff pinion.
He must have drove worse than I did
He was pretty hard on it. Other you tubers are reporting the same thing. Gen 8 pinion gears are the fix.
Weston Paschal gen8 axle gears fit or just the pinion?
I believe just the pinion. Gus’s Customs said that’s the way to go.
I’m wondering how close those axles are to a Capra though.
Go to 2s.
Why?
The body is so loud... lets fit a gen 7 cage on that instead...
Quit thrashing it and climb!
Remind me to never loan you a vehicle!
LoL I never abuse anything.
I am not impressed. It's not a Crawler, it's not a Rock-Racer, or a Basher (otb). It's nothing in between. I don't wanna waste my time, picking it up like every 10 seconds. Of course I just have to add a crawler motor, but why should I pay some extra for something that already exists? No deal for me.
too fast on 3s for crawling , 2s will be better
Or you cannot drive
