Redcat Gen 8 future upgrades??

[the purple redcat]

The purple redcat upgrades so far:
:Husky steering link kit
: Metal rock sliders
:Injora metal rims negative offset 1.9
:Tires 1.9 duratrax deep woods CR
:Hot racing metal lower link mount
Power hobby dual stage foams 4.19
:Off brand metal drive shafts
:redcat light kit
((((parts on the the way))))
:Rear portal upgrades to aluminum
Front outer portal upgrades also aluminum
Gmade 45wt shock oil
———————————————————
That’s the list of what I have on it now and what is to come I try to stay away from brass. The stock shocks are pretty good it has enough flex for what I do some of the tougher obstacles it gets caught on the fender flares or the back of the vehicle so I trimmed the body and moved the bumper in more.
I also removed fender flares and extended the wheel base For better approach angles. It’s also pretty top heavy.
Let me know what should be the next parts for this thing .

Sick truck! Love that old school chrome rims! However, I can't condone the mistreatment of the JLU.


This is my Jalapeno

How about a new crawler specific motor/esc? I have the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion, and I love it!

Lol yeah I thought it would be cool picture with both of them flexing .its kinda hard to keep the body nice where I live it’s mostly lava rock. I love your set up looks smooth I’m thinking of bumpers and getting a new motor set up but the one I have now seems to be going good no major problems I’m trying to do a budget build so nothing to expensive.what tires are you running they look very aggressive ?

We got my step son a CC brushless system for his Gen 8. He just tore off a portal on the front lol. They are fun machines and see they have updated parts for the portals now.
