What's with all the gen 8 hate?

you can still get the redcat rs10 thats been around for a few years at least 10 that i know of i bought my everest 10 over 5 years ago and they still sell those too redcat has been consistant for a vary long time axial killed the yeti the og wraith you can still get a spawn though the og scx10 is gone the yeti xl is gone the ax10 both versions are gone the exo is gone and the xr10 is no more

then theres hpi

and dont forget the assender thats gone by the wayside

losi discontinued alot of rigs too the mini night crawler but you can get the redcat clone the everest 16

the micro crawlers the trail treaker

these are just the ones off the top of my head that were discontinued after i bought my everest 10



redcat is gona ride with there models as long as posable i cant think of one rig they discontinued yet i listed 7 axials 8 if you count both ax10 versions that were discontinued

i just looked on redcats site and the rs10 isent there nether is the everest 16 but it did come up as back ordered on amains site and the rs10 says discontinued

Anyway, before you crawl anything tough, the one mod you should do is brace the panhard mount or I pretty much guarantee the screws will work loose and the mount will separate from the axle. Here's how I did it, and video proving that it works. Both trucks are Gen8s but mine is the orange one.

Thanks for the tips, I will check out the videos. I am still only half way complete in setting it up and so now will be a good time to do that.
