Redcat Gen 8 6x6

[mgputer]

I was up to 5 redcats so I decided to go with a 6x6 and combined 2.

I cut off the frame about 6mm from the back of the rear shock towers. I disassembled the other truck and cut out parts of the frame to use as the mount for the mini skid I cut from the other gen8.

After I had the rear axle mount welded up and figured, I cut a piece of Gen 8 frame and attached it to the rear.

Mounted up the shock towers and installed the 2nd transfer case. I used a shaft I had from a different transfer case and made the top little transfer case gear shaft go all the way through. Trimmed up the skid a little for drive shaft clearance and attached the shaft to the rear transfer case.

Not using the body in the picture, I have something else in mind.

Video of the test!

Yes sir. Just wanted to test it to make sure it works. I have a 21t in it and will probably use a HW1080

A little more work done. Put on the inner fenders and getting everything ready for the body.

I took it out for a drive and it's so fun. Can't wait to get it done.

Nice build! You gotta be the first gen 8 6x6 put there.

Took a little a spin. Works fantastic. Temporary body.

Are you kidding me, that chopped Scout body looks cool on there mg. Rough perhaps, but there is a definite charm in it. Besides it’s matches that demolished six pack of Bud Light ...:ror:

Cool build, nice to see your projects are still flowing. As I commented on your YouTube channel, you are single handedly keeping Redcat current in the scaler market with this 6X6 build.:ror:

Thanks it grew on me too. I was thinking about keeping it but I think I am going a different route for the body. I love watching the Czech 6x6 and 8x8 so I want something similar to that.




Yah I was crushing the cans with the 6 x 6. After I emptied them of course. [emoji1787]

I just set everything up for a mock up but it looks like I can make it work.

Very cool!

I put the flares on the back. Not sure if I am going to keep them on or not.

The flares suit it. They look heavy duty

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the input.

Tinkered after lunch a bit and got a little more done. Thinking I'm going to work on a dog house for behind the cab next. Still not 100% sure on the end product yet but it's coming along.

Might inspire them!

The Dog House is a good idea. I am not a pop culture buff but a dog house sounds like it would fit on a Beavis-mobile.

Beyond that, there is crazy potential for a Mad Maxx inspired rig.

At some point everyone needs a 6x6 in their life
