Redcat Earthquake 8E questions.

[biggman100]

Before anyone decides to bash on it, I got it as a complete roller for a whole $25, so I figured, why not do something with it and see what happens. Are there any other vehicles from other companies that parts are compatible with it? I have a spur from an AE that works on it, but I'm curious if there are any other 1/8 scale that might work with it. I'm planning on building it as a winter basher.

No idea, but I'm curious as well, and looking forward to see how it goes.

Welcome back. Long time no see. Hope all is well. Can't knock a $25 price tag.

Thank you. As i typically say, it could be better, and it could be worse. I actually bought it without really looking it over good, because i figured, even if i can't get it running for what i want it for, ill use it for something, but, after looking it over real good, it has aluminum beadlock wheels (although, i am changing the color on them, because someone painted them yellow, grey, and white) and nearly new Duratrax tires, aluminum rear hubs, upgraded motor mount and center diff, and a full set of nearly new shielded bearings, so i really can't complain about what i paid for it. My plan is to run a HW 10BL120 ESC and either a cheap 3660 4000KV, or HW G2 motor in it, depending on how much i can budget for it. I talked to a guy yesterday that use to build them as hard bashers, and got some tips on what Redcat cars will work for parts, but, I'm hoping i can figure out another vehicle that will work on it, so i can get better heavy duty arms to run in the snow at least.

It is actually going to sit for a bit, since I'm still working on the upgrades for my AE Pro4, and i have yet another Arrma Fury build to do first.
