Redcat Racing Everest GEN7 Sport 1/10 4WD RTR Scale Rock Crawler

I really can't say enough good things about this crawler! I got it with the intention of upgrading stock parts when they broke or wore out and I'm still waiting for something to break. Very durable right out of the box! Easily my favorite purchase of the year so far!!

weak metal but i am changing my review to 4 stars because ive owned it for about 3 months and beat the piss out of it after i upgraded axels shes a beast

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A NOTHER BRAND! THIS CRAWLER IS JUNK! Over all this rock crawler looks to be a good truck NOT! Not even a full battery pack and it bent a front axle when ran over some tall grass That's right tall grass. Second axle bent while driving it around my yard. Now there are 2 versions of this crawler one is a sport and the other is a pro the pro uses a cva front axle where the sport does not. At this point I called customer service to see if there was a problem with the type of axle that is used in the sport because they keep bending and to see if they started using the cva to solve this problem and the rep said he did not know of any problems with the axle used in the sport and that most likely is was not installed right. Now in the last 20 years I have had over 25 different RC trucks and cars everything from HPI BAJA 5b's to Traxxas rustlers and slashes to Losi's nitro and electric so i do know how to repair RC's. BOTTEM LINE THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST REDCAT JUNK.

This was my first hobby grade truck . There is a wide choice of replacement and up grade parts .It can take some abuse while learning . A solid truck for that price range .

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

The media could not be loaded.

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.

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

This is a great deal on a relatively capable RC crawler. The one I received had a manufacturers defect. The axle c holder was broke. That said Amazon was helpful and responsive. I did work with Redcat Racing on some of the issues caused because of the defect and I can not stress enough how pleasant and helpful the support team at Redcat is. I highly recommend any Redcat vehicle due to the US-based support staff and their willingness to help solve any problems. As far as the capabilities of the Redcat Everest Gen 7 Sport, I highly doubt that you can find an RTR crawler that out of the box is any more capable no matter how much you are willing to spend.

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.

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.
