- The Redcat Racing licensed International Scout II Body is a huge draw to the Gen8 kit, but drivers do like to customize their rigs. So in order to help you customize your Gen8 a bit easier, we’ve taken on the task of fitting aftermarket bodies to the platform. Pro-Line Racing has helped is with another body install video by providing their C-10 body for a custom install. In this video, we’ll go over some tips and tricks on how we made this body fit the truck. There will be some cutting, trimming, and even some eye-balling, but when you’re done, the Pro-Line body will look awesome on the Gen8 and should help your rig stand out on the trails with an ultimate RC scale look.

Redcat Racing really did do a good job with the Gen 8. Can anybody agree? BTW great video Redcat
Tyler Richardson couldn’t agree with you more, best rc made and I have enough I can say that with all the back to say I have the proof!
Thank you! So happy we can help you enjoy your hobby!
@@RedcatracingAZ Thanks! You are the heart of my hobby. I get spares from you, Rc's, and upgrade parts from ya.
I can agree though. The gen 8 is soo tough. I have never ran into any problems. The only thing I broke is the of the drive-cups in one of the portal boxes. But it was easy to fit, and I have never had a problem since.
They definitely did a great job upping their game and providing many options. The Gen 7 sold like hotcakes for ANY new comer to tiny trucks. Terrific gap market filler that was needed. So many new comers bought that Gen 7 and did very well in comps for a beginner. The Gen8 and Axe are such a massive step up and they're doing a terrific job of listening to critiques from their buyers and actually making those changes in real time. Hell, I bought a Gen7 and a Gen8 JUST so I could say I had them.
omg i have a trx 4 and am blown away by how convenient the gen 8 really is where as traxxas make you buy all these bits the gen 8 gives it to you out the box 👍
I got the body. And gen 8 workin on it now. Thanks for the help im lovein the look
Nice Job Greg!!
Excellent job!
Which pens work well on the proline bodies and outer film please??
Love this, I’m thinking of doing a different body for mine and having a go at doing a rusty beat up faded look, this may be the one.
Does anyone know if you can buy light buckets for this body?
When shortening wheel base did you have problems with geometry, like panhard bar, drive shaft ?
Nice job, always great work and great videos! Option instead of cutting the bed for shock towers is put a Cantilever kit on it. Have one on one of my gen8’s with a Redcat LC70 Killerbody, redcat sells there own LC70 killerbody as well so if your looking that route there you go. Cantilever also works amazing on it as well.
Or if you’d rather cut the body you could put the gen8 Axe Edition shock tower brace to keep flex out
Yes, an aftermarket cantilever kit is certainly an option. What we're showing here with the Pro-Line body options are install tips that require as few additional purchases as possible. Make sure you tag Redcat when showing off that Gen8 LC70 build, sounds awesome!
Redcat Racing you should talk to the team at Redcat a produce or badge one and call it your own for a cantilever kit??? I’d buy one just because 2 of my Gen8 builds I only put nothing but Redcat’s upgrades for them. So I’d buy a couple sets for sure. Something for you folks to think about cause I’m a huge supporter of Redcat Racing!!!😍
Can you do proline tacoma on the gen 8 video
Will this work on the v2 of the gen 8 ?
What wheels would fit on my red cat gen 8
Does this body fit on redcat gen7?
Can this body be used with the proline rear cage like you did with the f250? Thanks
Probably
@@RedcatracingAZ Such a helpful answer 🤣
i have the gen 8 axe i dont have holes for front posts what do i need to buy
Do you mean holes to mount the original body? Or an after market body?
The stock body does not mount with posts.
If you are running an aftermarket body you just need the body posts and make holes in the body to mount it to the posts.
nice 👍😊👍
Is this the same for the Everest Gen 7 version?
No the body posts are different. And the Gen7 PRO body is actually mounted to it's roll cage.
@@RedcatracingAZ TY for the response
Hey redcat can i do this to my gen 7 sport
Of course. Anything is possible.
NC MOUNTAINS🏞 backyard RC AND MORE. 🖒💯
Dont understand why anybody wood want to cut up a rc to install a new body
Less weight.. better center of gravity. Less roll over ..
