Redcat Racing Everest GEN7 Sport 1/10 Scale RC Rock Crawler 4x4 – 4WD RTR RC Truck with Steel Frame, Oil Shocks, Beadlock Wheels, Interco Tires, Waterproof ESC & Battery Included - Burnt Orange

Great flex out of the box. For the price? You can NOT do better. Period. Metal links and frame is a bonus at this price too! Adjustable shocks/wheelbase/ride height is great. It's a bit top heavy in RTR configuration but let's face it, If you're buying a hobby grade, you're not keeping it stock anyway....why pay twice as much for something you'll dump money into anyway when you can spend less all around? Tires are grippy and perform better than expected though the stock foams are a little too soft. Some decent dual stage fixes any gripes had there. My biggest gripe is the obnoxiously brittle bumper posts. Front bumper posts broke within 3 mins of first run. Great starter truck, or awesome RTR to build upon. Esc is good too! Hexfly 1040 isn't the best, but isn't a slouch either. 550 can gives more than enough torque for any beginner

nice rig well made had a part broke when took it out of the box but redcat took care of it fast without any issues just filled out the warranty online and thet sent the part right out. Would recommend them for sure.

To all those people out there that are interested in the red cat generation seven radio control truck, this truck I think is one of the best you can buy for the money. I'm new at this hobby but I paid particular attention whenever you go to the YouTube videos and watch what the people that have this truck can actually do against the other trucks which are much more expensive and have all the latest gizmos. I've added headlights taillights and the six-inch light bar which works really awesome "pay attention and try to get the light bar that has the little tiny lightbulbs to rows, so far that things indestructible I've rolled this truck down the side of the steepest hills and it's only now starting to crack the Lexan body in one of the mold areas by the door. Articulation is good I'm sure it could be improved but it's absolutely amazing where this thing will go depending on who's driving it. The only thing I would recommend is getting different tires which are much softer and applied more grip this makes a world of difference. Generally the only thing that will stop this thing from climbing is either the dirt is to loosen you dig a hole or your traction is to good annual flip over backwards! I also did one other item because it does have quite a bit of speed to it and it makes it more difficult to climb rough terrain because it bounces around too much it's too sensitive. Replace your pinion gear with a 13 tooth, it still has fairly good speed to get out a hill without losing control but allows you the sensitivity and the controller to rock crawl.

When you buy this keep in mind this is the entry level price point for RC crawlers and the parts reflect that. The drivetrain and transmission are all plastic and so are the driveshafts. Within a month of owning this the plastic gears within the transmission stripped and failed from what I’d consider routine use. I was not abusing it. However, for about $100 I was able to upgrade to metal gears, a metal spur gear, and a metal transmission housing. If you’re willing to spend a little and take the time to upgrade parts, this thing is awesome. Very fun and capable crawler. Parts are easy to source (got all my upgrades on Amazon) and when I did reach out to red cat support they were awesome. Just remember you’re not paying for a $500+ crawler. But you can easily upgrade to make this thing much more capable and dependable.

Bought the burnt orange one for my wife, and the silver one for myself. The stock charger is pretty slow but the battery lasts a long time. I was ready for the battery to die so I could go do something else but it kept going and going. After charging, I adjusted the servo control and tuned the steering to run straight. The steering can be improved with a dremel tool in about 3 minutes, look for the videos on YouTube. A crack has developed in my truck body. I put duct tape inside to hopefully stop it from cracking further. I added lights on both bodies. The lights plug into the empty slot on the speed control and run off the main battery without much drain as these are LED bought from Amazon for about $12. I'd recommend and I don't regret saving $200 each over comparables.

After watching reviews and videos about the "Redcat Racing Everest Gen7 Sport Ready to Run" and how ?durable? this Crawler Scaler was supposed to be, I finally made the purchase... with that said...here are my results: Pro's: Pre-assembled with a nice Transmitter, Receiver, ESC, Battery (2000mah NIMH), Beadlock wheels and nice soft gripping Tires, Pre-painted Body, and Aluminum suspension arm's and steering links... Seems like, what a sweet little RC for the price... CON'S: The plastic parts in the Bumper's, and elsewhere is way to soft. Especially in the C-HUB'S AND STEERING ARM'S, first time out and the C-HUB'S split around the fasteners..(super glue to the axle housing to repair) Second time out the screw that connects the steering arm to the C-Hub pulls out, (Threads in the steering arm) again super glue the screw carefully into the steering arm making sure to not bind the pivot spacer)) Third time out: C-HUB top connection link breaks off..super glue ain't fixing this... Final words: In all this RC has run for about 1.5 hrs on my RMX RC PLAY-PARK Course between repairs..The good is that this thing will Crawl and has plenty of power to do some amazing feat's if the plastic parts in the steering was upgraded to aluminum it would be a 10 star Hobbiest RC.

I like the construction of it and the look. That being said. I did have to fix it right out of the box. One of the 4 link rods popped off its ball. Easy fix. Had an issue when i was running it no matter what i did with the remote it just kept going forward. Had to shut it of and turn it back on to get it corrected. But seems like a good unit at a good price.

Un excelente Crawler a un excelente precio respecto a similares de altas categorías. Gran desempeño y mucha escalabilidad de diseño y desempeño. Un producto de compañía formal y preocupada de cumplir su objetivo (que a mi gusto si lo hace) Fast-affordable-fun. Sería ideal tener representación en el país para conseguir todo para los upgrades. Recomiendo ampliamente.

Like the truck. Could have purchased it cheaper somewhere else. Slight body deformation.

i found this to be a decent truck , however the price seems high for the quality of what you get. it broke twice in two trips out to the trails. and then had a faulty receiver. Redcat was great about doing a warranty part replacent.

Pros: -Excelente precio, menos de la mitad que los modelos mas "populares" -RTR incluye todo lo necesario para empezar a usarlo directo de la caja (Electronica, Control, Bateria, Cargador, Vehiculo). -Horquillas de direccion de alto viraje instaladas en el vehiculo, lo que le quita el punto en contra mas criticado que es que los Gen 7 tienen un pesimo viraje y debes de modificar o comprar accesorios adicionales para mejorar esto. -Incluye una version reforzada de los C-Hubs para las horquillas de alto viraje, si usas las normales la fuerza del servo las rompe. -Amortiguadores de aceite, en el paquete no lo menciona y es un punto muy importante, la diferencia con la version Pro es que son plasticos con tapa de alimunio, no de aluminio completo. -Personalizable en un nivel increible, los amortiguadores tienen 9 posiciones donde pueden ser montados en el chasis, las barras de suspension tienen 3 posiciones para las que van a los diferenciales y 2 para las de los amortiguadores, los soportes del cuerpo rigido tambien pueden ser ajustados vertical y horizontalmente, de fabrica viene el sistema de seguros metalicos pero dentro de los accesorios tambien se incluye todo lo necesario para utilizar el montaje con velcro como la version Pro. -Las llantas Irok de stock son super suaves y no se gastan con facilidad, siguen teniendo un excelente agarre aun despues de mucho uso. -Los rines son plasticos pero tiene el sistema beadlock con anillos metalicos. -Se le pueden montar llantas de 2.2 le puse unas duratrax deepwoods. Cons: -Requiere cambiar las varillas tipo "dog bone" del diferencial delantero por unas tipo "CVA" (incluidas en la version Pro) para poder sacar el maximo angulo de viraje de las nuevas horquillas sin dañar los C-Hubs o el diferencial. -La bateria incluida es de 2000ma si bien es una buena capacidad el problema es que es NiMH por lo que impacta en el desempeño del vehiculo conforme se va descargando, la cambie por una Lipo 2S de 4600ma y el tiempo de uso continuo se alargo a 2 hrs aprox. -El modo en que esta montada la varilla de direccion del servo, que es por encima de la horquilla hace que roce con la parte interna de la llanta, por lo que intente montarla por debajo de la horquilla, esto soluciono el problema del roce pero cambio la geometria de la direccion, haciendo que tuviera mas angulo hacia uno de los lados y menos en el lado contrario, tuve que comprar e instalar unos extensores hexagonales para alejar las llantas del diferencial y evitar el roce de la llanta. -La flecha trasera tiene que ser recortada en la pieza interior, por que es demasiado larga y cuando la suspension trasera se comprime totalmente ejerce presion sobre la caja de engranes del motor. En resumen, un crawler muy recomendable, lo eh tenido por algunos meses sin que alguna pieza o parte presente roturas o desgaste, este es un crawler que no solo divierte en el uso si no tambien al cambiar/modificar/mejorar las piezas que lo componen, le eh instalado un sistema de luces, un BEC, recortado los guarda-fangos para que las llantas tengan mas area libre y la suspension se comprima completamente y planeo seguir modificandolo, en mi opinion esto es gran parte de la experiencia de tener este tipo de vehiculos rc.

Es un vehículo que corre muy bien, sin embargo la batería dura poco y los brazos de dirección se me han roto tres veces.
