There was a picture of it a while ago on the Facebook group. Technically the same thing but topless from what we have heard so far.

Can't say but you need to check their Facebook page for details. Lots of clues."thumbsup"

I just took my Gen8 out this weekend. That mythical skid bump issue actually was an issue for me out at CDM. Other than that, it performed pretty well given the huge body. I'd be interested in some updates for the truck though.

Re: new redcat?
 

I see they also released new stronger Axles, Axle housing, and gears. New redcat Gen8 will be equipped with them.

I like caged SUV style rigs (Deadbolt, 2012 Jeep Unlimited, Defender, etc.) so it will appeal to me, especially if it looks as good or better than the cartoon representation.

Re: new redcat?
 

I agree. Both my scouts I made topless. I mean topless is the best thing for trucks and.......

The stock ESC is hobbywing. It's a dual motor moa ESC with only one set of wires soldered on.

The new GEN8 will include all of the updated parts, flat skid, updated axle housings, axles, gears, body, interior, cage, AND the Hobbywing Axe system.

Price should be around $499.00ish.

Oh really. I didn't see that. Too busy stuffing my face with turkey and pie [emoji1787]

500 is to much in my opinion maybe 400 but even at that price there competing with th3 big name brands i if nothing else theres more parts out there for the gen8 and more scout bodys to chose from

Re: new redcat?
 

I agree. They need a new body and the upgrades. I think if they lower the price to be comparable with Traxxas rig's and it would be pretty sweet.

HobbyWing needs to step far, far away from Redcat and Reefs.

Re: new redcat?
 

i dont think redcat or reefsrc are too good for hobbywing although i do try to stay away from hobbywing products the units that i do have that are in my redcats are holding up they should all make a good fit together

Re: new redcat?
 

Price isn’t gospel. Just what I overheard....

We should see it next week...

Re: new redcat?
 

I meant HobbyWing is too good to be associated with Redcat and Reefs.

Re: new redcat?
 

i like redcat more than hobbywing

Re: new redcat?
 

Well that's fine, but HobbyWing is a world-class company whereas Redcat is second class.
