Id like more information on the interior insert as well as the slider trays and center skid. Is the interior insert something that could be used with the full body, or just top cut off application?

The interior will work with the full body! We got to run it yesterday and it was beyond all expectations. Everything on the vehicle is box stock. Here is the run video. I’ll shoot s build video tonight explaining everything. Redcat Gen8 Scout ultimate topless build https://youtu.be/Bt4THQEnpfI | |

I watched it already this morning. The color is on point and it looks amazing. The dash and door panels look great. You used an idea I had been contemplating for tonneau cover. I actually scored myself a destroyed 1:1 to use the fabric on several builds for truck bed covers and soft tops. I hadn't considered taking the Gen 8 topless just yet, but after seeing yours, it looks amazing. Will you be making the interior available to others? I would be very interested in some of what you have going on. Also noticed modified battery mount, I assume the full interior wouldn't work with the center mounted battery?

Looks like you used a 67-72 chevy dash? Looks pretty close besides the gages are round instead of square. Looks great.

The interior video and chassis videos are coming out today!! Topless is a big undertaking since the whole lexan will need structure. The build cost $10 in materials but the wife is not happy we cut up her crappy vinyl handbag. Bikini top is coming too. And a full roof body can be bolted on to this interior. Yes, will only work with the modded battery tray and only small battery if we want the foreword battery position | |

As for the side panels, I am working on a set for my 3D printed scout body that I am sure could easily be converted to fit the redcat. Hoping to get them finished in the next couple of weeks. | |

That looks great. Is that the cut off roof?
