Anyone into R/C?

Chassis seems alot more detailed

 

I’ve looked at them now and want a set.

Sure do. Price is decent, too.

I wonder how they stack up against the TRX axles.

 

I may steal the scout body for another build.... Redcat just still isn't an axial. I'm a fanboy. I will say I respect their honesty about not designing and instead paying a Chinese company that copydesigned it not to sell the gen7 to anyone else....

 

I figured @Deathbysnusnu would be excited by the gen 8

 

i cant tell from the pic posted but does that gen 8 have a tranny and transfer case?

 

I bought a Thunder Tiger Hilux, I was looking at more expensive options but decided to try this thing out. For $180 RTR it’s awesome! Needs better shocks, that’s the only thing I can find that it really needs.

First time with it outside, it crawls!

 

I guess, the motor assembly is moved forward connecting it to the transfer case with a second drive shaft

 

Got out for a few hours yesterday..

Took tons of pics and videos

Here's a few

 

Is the cage mig welded or brazed? Just curious.

 

Awesome shots! I want your low rider!

 

Mig. Buddy did it for me. I formed it, he welded.

Thanks man! hahaha. I actually just picked it up about a month ago. new commuter.

 

I'm really tempted to try making one.
And that is a nice commuter.

 

3/16 round bar for the bumpers/cage. I drew up the mounts and skid in Solidworks and cut em on the waterjet at work from .110 steel. I formed. He welded it all. I sand blasted and painted it. It has taken a beating and the hard body is still solid. scratched and gouged to shit, but still not broken anywhere..

 

super easy and fun man. kinda relaxing too. I want to make another one.

and thank you

 

Got out a bit while I was in Estes Park for the weekend.

 

Just over the hill from me here in fort collins

 

The Honcho getting some over landing time in Death Valley earlier this year. Wow endless amazing terrain everywhere. I highly reccomend

 

Beautiful fall day on the Carlton River in Oregon. It's crawler heaven

 

Found the China Bruiser body by itself.

That's a good price. The cab and bed from Tamiya are almost that much and this has the windows, mirrors grill steps and sleeper cab
