Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling 66 C10. Bed mount as you already know doesn't match up for the Gen8. I made a cover for the bed to hide the the new mounting position. |

I was kinda bummed that I had to cut the bed floor out. But I want to mount the body as low as possible. Have a pic of your cover the the 66? |

Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling I saw someone else use Tamiya polycarbonate paint cleaner well as another option. |

Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Just when I thought I had it all figured out, this happened...�� http://a66.tinypic.com/6rh3t5.jpg http://a66.tinypic.com/2ns7yx5.jpg And a pic from the GEN8RL’s first run.���� http://a67.tinypic.com/25z4002.jpg |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Looks really good. The color mixed with the brushed panels works really well. I just did something similar to my trx4 defender, with the defender body. I really like the ascender cage. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

I was inspired to replicate this rig. http://a65.tinypic.com/mw7j0i.jpg I want to eventually have a custom cage built by Pimpin Crawlers and “back halve” the GEN8RL. Until then, this will do.👍🏼 |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling LHS has a crawler home today, took the GEN8RL for a couple of hours on the trail and had a ball! I was the the lone GEN8, but not the only Red Cat as one of our group had a GEN7 Pro. The rest of the participants where driving TRX4 variants. Didn’t get many pics as I was to busy having fun. �� Is was great to get back out on the trail again! http://a68.tinypic.com/2823jiw.jpg http://a67.tinypic.com/289wvg5.jpg http://a66.tinypic.com/ht9nph.jpg http://a68.tinypic.com/15qvfva.jpg http://a67.tinypic.com/289wvg5.jpg |

Maybe could it sit inside the rails where it's currently silver? |

Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling I think that would be the path I'd go down the framed bed looks really cool to me. The bed panel on the outside I'd probably pass on. How'd you Gen 8 hold up running with the trx4s? Mines got a little squeek while driving I want to get figured out. |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Quote:
I installed the Deadlock Racing Contender transfer case and flat bottom skid which allows the GEN8RL to turn much sharper. Part of our crawl was a narrow twisty labyrinth will lots of tight turns and seemed like I was able to navigate it better than the TRXs which surprised me as the TRX4s are know for their steering ability. Another area I had an advantage on was tires, I’m rocking the 4.75 in Hyrax’s in the Predator compound and most of the TRX4 guys where on the stock canyons. I run 3S with a 21T Holmes Trailmaster 550 motor, I was a bit worried about destroying a portal gear, but so far so good. 👍🏼 |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Quote:
Sounds good I'm waiting for some BFG mud terrain Prolines and SSD slotted wheels for my Gen 8. I'm debating the trailmaster 21 turn since I think it would help in a few places in the back yard. I might try to get rid of the hump at some point for now I'm trying to avoid lines that would get me high centered. I was able to score a second gen 8 without the body for the kids so they'll get to crawl with me some shortly. Take it easy Jay |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Quote:
Loving the GEN8 so far. I highly recommend the 21T 550 Trailmaster, much smoother than the stock motor. Awesome to hear that you’re getting your kids into crawling.👍🏼 |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling I have been debating throwing a different transfer case in as well. I have a boom racing with the over drive front axle option. The reason being I noticed after I went back to the stock wheel base from 12.3 that I lost a quite a bit of steering. I might wait a little to see if OD or UD gears are released. Looks and sounds like it works great. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |
Re: Dezfan’s GEN8RL return to crawling Quote:
Not only did I get overdrive for the front axle, but it offers 1:1 gearing for trail running, it eliminates the tumor on the skid, as well as raising the height of the skid a few mm and it improves the link geometry. 👍🏼 |
