Most professional and well thought out RC reviews since Jang! Aussie RC does pretty well too.

Actually one of the best channels out there ,i´ve learned a lot ,thx

Nice tips. Thanks. I've been saving up for one and hope to be ordering it next month.

Love your videos very informative keep up the great job

I am very much enjoying your channel and videos, I just stumbled across you and I wanted to give you props. Easy to watch, easy to listen to, smiling, good personality, keep it up brother! Oh ya, skid plate will be a good one! Also so suspension tuning would be good to add to the free list.

Love your videos and how you present them. Obviously you love what you are doing! My Gen 8 arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to see what I can do with it with what I am learning from you. This will be my first RC truck (I have a few small drones and rc airplanes) and I'm excited to get started in this sport/hobby. Thanks!

Always great tips. I'm going to apply everyone to my Gen 8. Keep them coming. 👍👍

The magnet idea was perfect, thanks for the video man.

Great videos. I upgraded the Servo (your suggested Animos!) and ESC (hobbywing 1080). The servo fixed the limited steering angle (guess not enuff torque to bring it to full when car's on the ground) and the hobbywing solved the twitchiness, so u dont really need to upgrade the transmitter/reciever... didnts top me from getting a DX5C thooo hahahaha! The gen 8's a lot of bang for your buck, really enjoying mine. thanks for all the videos!

Excellent video and excellent upgrades, again, hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

I got referred to you by a friend , glad he did. I have a trx4 bronco a gmade sawback and my daughter has a gen 8 , I love all the reviews you do , and outher videos. And you know what you're talking about. But I did notice that about the radio and receiver. Wicked jumpy , specially in reverse.

Awesome reveiw....good tip about the receiver.

Just subscribed because you are informative honest and you speak a lot of sense. Thanks for the video; I’m very interested in getting one of these. 👍

Just traded a 1/8 scale Turnigy brushless combo for a gen8 used about 3 times! I threw in $80 aswell! All in all I can't wait to start upgrading! 😂

This is the best channel for reviews

YOU ARE SO GOOD WITH WITH THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have saved me time and time again.PLUS A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, STEVE

My first mod was a 25Kg servo, then a Flysky GT5 transmitter and receiver and last but not least a set of good ProLine tires and two stage foams.

Your a genius👍🙂 excellent content my friend👍

This is the best video I’ve seen on what should be done first to this truck

Safety first!! I like the 661 knee pads. Someone is biking and crawling in the same day, we call that a Twofer.

The first thing I did on my Gen8 was to replace the stock servo with a Power HD 25kg coreless metal gear servo. I found that the new servo and the longer aluminum horn that came with it solved the steering throw issue. I now have full steering throw without having to buy a new radio. That being said, I currently have a new FlySky FS-GT-5 six channel radio and receiver on order, primarily for more linear speed control.

Fantastic video again. I ordered a D-link brass link set to add some weight down low.

Nice video of what can be done from the get go. Sicc outro beat also...🎵

Very helpful video, thank!

Great info!

Love the mod ideas with the bumpers and sliders, im gonna also grind the front wheel well brush guards to look more correct. I dont like how the angles dont match. Will also help bigger tires clear later on.

9:01 Tamiya Hornet I had in 1986 Came with a Balloon in the assembly kit. Still have the car.

If I had to chose between the two I’d say hands down the blue is the best looking. I must have watched over 100 RC videos and I’ve narrowed my choices down to either the Gen 8 or the enduro Sendero.

Hahaha, too funny, shoot for the moon. When i get mine, I'm doing everything in that video👍 your the man

Thanks for sharing. ..always interesting

Best youtube rc channel, nuff said.

Stock tires & foam just need to be modified then they work just fine. Tires need some of the tread cut out of the center two rows going from left to right and cut out every other knob this allows them to have a gap to get a bite. Foam is to big & needs a little bit of trimming, rounding out the edges first then working to the center with a pair of scissors allows for some sidewall flex when reinstalled. Did this to my tires & foam on my Gen8 & was like night & day difference

Nice vid man, I like your channel 👍🏻

Awesome review and hints. I need a g8.

Great video! Thanks

Nice vid! THX!

😃👍 Cool ... yea the stock tires are not the best they get a bit slippery when wet... I found my foams got much softer after going in the mountain for a few miles with mine. That's weird the radio don't let it turn fully that's cool you can get more steering with a new radio system. EDIT Hi I just looked at my steering throw and I get full lock to lock throw with mine and also my esc starts up slow unlike yours maybe somethings wrong with your radio or something?

Great review. They still need to learn on the designs.

love your videos..!!

Again, I would like to mention that you can get full steering throw by slightly increasing the bend in the steering drag link. As it is stock, the drag link will come into contact with the diff cover before steering throw is maxed out. It doesn't take very much at all to get the lock to clear the cover.

How about a video on working with styrene ? I'm going to be doing some more custom interior work this winter and could use some tips

Performance wise you need to put a brace in on the front axle to keep it from moving around so much.

Where did you find the body magnets? Also any tips on which interior fits and works best?

How about square out the front fender flares. Looks way better than how they come rounded.

Thanks for the ideas. I never cared for the Velcro, and I wouldn't really trust the magnets, so I just stuck the body posts in and got some clips for it. By the way, what do you think about the bfg a/t ko2 for crawling?

E6000 around the receiver box seam, antenna tube, and the extension outlets keeps the inside of the rx box dry. Little tough to remove when needed.

Nice video! Can the Redcat gen 8 be converted to leaf springs?

But no mention of BEC or servo comparisons listed in the links?

Really interesting that the steering issue ended up being the radio system.

Can you put the things you used in the description? I think you forgot. Lol

Nice vid and mods 👍

Great note on the RX/TX. You have to cut the bumper posts to push the front bumper in enough. Good job!

Redcat gen8 best( looking , rig .. today!! .. There's alot of tires out right now! MOUNTAINS Backyard RC.AND MORE. 💯🖒

You mention cutting the tire for better grip, you should make a vedio about wish tire too cut, and how too cut them... Think about it

I swapped my reciever to a flysky amd its sooo much better ive also got cantilever suspension on the back an injora cherokee half cab with cage and 6 oz beadlocks its sitting as low as it can and its a beast it keeps up with my buddies scx10iii and its done right up

Hey man great video. Gonna buy one of these for my sons birthday. What electronics were you using with the Traxxas radio. I have a Traxxas radio spare so i ll use it but will need to get whatever i need "under the hood" to allow the traxxas radio to work. I ve never changed a radio before so not sure what is required Please let me know. Love your videos. Great work!

I upgraded to a cheap 20kg servo motor cost 18.00. The trucks turn radius is now better than mu traxxas sport.

Hemistorm did a killer job of redoing this body. Have you seen it? Did you try to recalibrate the stock system?

Nice Dainese jacket.

What is the turning circle measurement after the transmitter upgrade?it looks a great improvement ,does it get anywhere near the trx4?

I put weights in my front wheels should I do all four

whats the best value receiver you reccommend for Gen 8?

Great info, except the traxxas rx/tx. Their radios suck too, I run fs gtb you can see all trim adjustments on the LCD screen and 10 model memory.

By the time you add all the stuff.. how much extra $$$ are you talking about added to the price of the truck ...? Why not get a truck with those better add-on already with it ?

hi, i changed my radio/reviever but i lost the auto brake from the ecs. even powering it in without the jumper and back on again with it it still doesnt work. any idea what might cause that?

Just as an aside do you have a mountain bike youtube channel as well?

What size brushless motor will fit that truck?

do you guys eliminate the slipper clutch?

Nice. But I don't change anything on my RC RTR vehicles until the part either wears out or breaks. My opinion. Sure upgrading is awesome, but I firts like to get my money's worth from what I paid. 👍

👍subbed again your a smart fella

What do you mean in a. Bec speed control

Are you saying to change the receiver and the radio, or just the radio?

My local hobby shop only carries Red Cat and no parts. I keep buying them broken used dirt cheep 3rd one from people that live with in a mile of the hobby shop. Latest pick up was a Gen8 $140US broken servo, gear was in wrong it was all jammed up. I still like Traxxas better.

I did the Hyrax and put a spare Savox 0231 in, much fast and better turning, no slop either. The only issue I had was the stock servo is a bit narrower than the Savox.

Is this better than the traxxas

What do you recommend for a total beginner? Redcat or Remo?

Is it better to keep 1.9 tires or 2.2 will also be a good option ? Thanks

What causes this rig to be so loud? The drivetrain ?

Guys what battery should i get ? Im new(noob) to RC world, and I'm ordering this as mine first ever rc ;)

Where are the magnets?

Dumb question #657.......🤪 I'm new to surface vehicles. Will this work on the Redcat Gen8? Traxxas TQi 2.4GHz 2-Channel Radio System w/TSM & Micro Receiver

What battery and charger set should I go with for the Gen8?

which one is good redcat gen 8 or enduro trailwalker?

2:30 - Wait... in the previous video, you said Redcat Gen 8's impressive 47-degree steering claim is false. Now you're saying, it's actually true provided you change your radio transmitter?

😁✌🏼

A Lot of asmr

The Gen 8 is really growing on me.

Mod nr. 1: buy a TRX4. Just kidding :)
