| Redcat Gen 7/Gen 8 compatibility
Hello everyone! New user here, from Norway, and relatively new to the hobby as well. I got my hands on a Redcat Gen 7 Sport, and have been hooked ever since Been slowly upgrading it, and I'm working on fitting the Proline 1985 Hilux body right now. My question is, are the dimensions and distance between the holes in the bumper mounts on the Gen 7 and Gen 8 the same? I really like the look of the "Yeah Racing Alloy Front Bumper" for the Axial SCX10 II and Redcat Gen8. I am wondering if it will fit right into the Gen 7 bumper mount holes? Other upgrades i have done so far is change to a new "slower" motor with more torque, smaller pinion gear, and i installed the Hobbywing 1080 ESC. It crawls really great now, and i have very good control and precision, even with the barebones stock Redcat radio |

Yeah it does look like it comes with the inserts. Although I am more concerned with the distance between the two "poles" on the bumper, that goes into the bumper mount. On the Redcat Gen 7, the distance between the holes in the bumper mount is about 54mm center to center. Is there anyone with both a Gen 7 and Gen 8 that knows if they are compatible? Or anyone with a Gen 8 that could give a measurement? | |
