Our modified Redcat Gen 7's

[Esseaux]

Hello!

We've been doing a bit of modifying on our Redcats and this video shows them in some rough terrain.

The red one started out as a Gen 7 Sport but has now been upgraded to a Gen 7 Pro.

The black one started out as a Gen 7 Pro and has now a portal axle kit, a Servo on Axle mount from 1Tenth RC and a Horri-Bull body from Killer Body. It has also some home made foam inserts since the Pro inserts got hard as rocks due to our cold climate.

We're pretty pleased with them so far.

Nice job. The Merc body looks like it fits good on that chassis.

Thanks!

It took a bit of tinkering, shortening the wheelbase slightly and removing the added shock mounts that came with the portal axle kit to make the body sit as low as possible. Did the pen-spring mod on the shocks too so they sit a bit lower as well.

Still a lot to do before I'm pleased though...
