Redcat Racing Gen8 V2 International Scout II 1/10 Scale Rock Crawler Scale Truck, Green, GEN8-V2-GREEN

Best bang for your buck, quality parts, decently fast and crawls when you need to, Easy to maneuver. great design and fun toy for all ages

This car was a birthday gift for someone who loves RC cars. He also loves the color green so this was perfect for him. This thing really does go up and down rocky hills like it's nothing. Effortless off-roading RC car. We love it and have had many hours of fun with this one.

The media could not be loaded. I've had this Gen 8 scout ii for a while and never gave a review. After finally getting accustomed to the suspension set up, it ran great out of the box. I have since upgraded the drive train, overdrive, cooling fan and numerous other points. The gen 8 scout ii is a steam roller. It's planted firmly and will go over just about anything. I've changed the gearing slightly so it's not as fast. It crawls with ease and is highly upgradeable. The Redcat light kit fits and works perfectly too. I have a trx4 too, but the scout seems to be better planted. Excellent RC CrawlerUPDATE 71423I finally installed the Hobbywing fusion pro, a cooling fan and a new set of adjustable offset wheels and tires. Before this upgrade, the REDCAT GEN 8V2, is like I said before, just a solid, simple crawler. With this upgrade, the Redcat is a stronger, more solid crawler. It only gets better. The are so many things you can do with and to the scout and It is very easy to work on. Upgrades are endless. I did manage to blow out a front axle bearing and the swap out was quick and easy. Just a fabulous rc crawler.

This thing is awesome. You can not find a better quality, more beautiful 1/10 scale crawler. I would buy this over traxxas any day, and save 250$ as well.

Bought for Grandson and was surprised when no battery or charger was included. The description didn't mention anything about no battery or charger. Otherwise runs great and Grandson loves it.

Very impressed with this RC Out-Of-The-Box. I am not into competition, just a casual user who drives on the weekends in local areas. It's a very capable vehicle with a ridiculous runtime (1.5 hours+) per charge.I use the Redcat Racing 7.4V 3200mAh Lipo Battery (2S) typically sells for about $36 US. Even though you can use up to a 3s battery I wouldn't recommend it for two reasons; first of all, it would be too fast to rock crawl, secondly, it would put too much power to the transmission and gearing which could lead to early wear and possibly breakage.The only upgrade I have installed (so far) is a set of Heavy Weight Brass Outer Portal Housing ($30 US) to put more weight on each wheel which helps the tires get some extra grip when crawling over obstacles.One issue to note is the throttle response is jerky, you can go from a slow crawl to a quick burst of unwanted acceleration with just a small touch on the throttle. I have read that replacing the electronic speed control will help with that. One of the more popular ESC is the HobbyWing 1080, those are typically around $40 US.In conclusion; it's NOT perfect however with just some minor adjustments and a small upgrade, this is an absolute blast to drive. It's well worth the price of admission.

Thanks to the seller “Best WH “ I payed $350 for a used redcat gen 8 v2 scout For the amount of money I payed for this rc truck ($350) it shouldn’t have been used. The zip ties that hold it in the box were cut so they truck was bouncing around during shipping the roof has scuffs on due to the thin plastic film used to protect it was torn off . Returning it would be a headache due to third party seller I’m extremely pissed about this very disappointing for my first experience buying a higher end rc truck . Last time I buy anything from this seller so buyers beware don’t purchase yours through a seller named “best WH “ as for the truck itself it’s amazing well worth the money if you have it very solid truck really nice scale details . It’s touchy so it takes a little bit to get used to crawling with it cause it’s got some punch . This scout has a ton of upgrades that can be done to it to make it custom if your into that which I am . The truck gets 5 stars hands down as for the seller they get no stars for being shady and worthless

The media could not be loaded. The capability of the Scout is incredible! So much fun right out of the box. We use a 5200 mAh 7.4V Zeee LiPO battery that lasts about 45 minutes, and charges in less than an hour with a balance charger. This vehicle is durable and takes a ton of abuse. The portal gears and large tires creates a massive amount of ground clearance for tough obstacles. There are many upgrades / mods available and it's fun to build it out with additional lights, roof rack, etc. The video is the stock version, before any mods. The value of the Scout is insane. If you enjoy obstacles and rock crawling, this is for you! Don't forget to get good batteries (get 2 so you can charge one while running the other) and a good balance charger. You'll have loads of fun with the Scout!
