I believe my Redcat Everest Gen 7 is probably in the top 5% of all trail trucks on the planet for capability. It will keep getting better as new upgrade parts become available.
All of my videos are work and kid friendly. Watch with confidence. 🙂 - Комедії
Lots of goodies. I like seeing peoples builds and upgrades. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for dropping a message. 🙂
Looks cool. Gonna fix my gen 7 so probably gonna go wjth some modification right away.
It can be made to be awesome. You may have to get creative. : )
WOW! You have done a lot of mods. I love watching the RedCat videos you put on here. I’ve been doing a few mods to my Gen 7 but nothing compared to yours. I have an Element Ecto but find myself messing around with the Gen 7 more. Thank you for sharing I’m sure it will help others that want to mod their trucks.
I talk my truck up but unless you see what it can do for yourself it is not believable. The Gen 7 has tremendous potential.
Keep modding. It gets better every time. Keep top weight light, the front axle heavy and just enough weight on the tail to keep it from flipping forward on decent. Other than that, make sure each piece can move through its full range without interpherance.
Oh I’ve seen some of the videos I believe you!
I have always been a fan of stiffer foams. I like the dirty richard brand. Cheap and work good for me.
There is a misconception that soft foams are better. In every case where I have compared them with stiffer foams they performed much worse. I see guys driving around on tires that are basically flat. It never works well.
Soft sidewalls collapse and roll trucks trying to sidehill. They also don't steer well when the front tires need to bite.
Traction comes from compound and tread pattern. I have not found a scenario where mushieness holds a tremendous advantage. It is not conventional thinking but I'll bet most people's rigs can't follow mine. 😉
Thing looks like a beast! Definitely one of the cooler Gen 7 setups Ive seen.
Thank you. 🙂 It is a beast. I have entered it in three competitions over the last two years and it has taken first place in Class 2 each time. It has even held the lowest scoring run of the entire event at least once regardless of class.
More has been done since this video was made. The link below shows a few of the latest mods added for scale points at competitions.

@@EXPIOWA Thats awesome, i'll check out the vid!
Good afternoon. What center chassis’s/transmission mount is that?
It is a Vader skidplate. In order to use it, the center pivot balls on the lower links need to be narrowed. The slot is not wide enough for the stock ones to both fit otherwise.
@EXPIOWA awesome thank you! Did you also need to build new lower links?
Do you have the stock Receiver
Yes. It works great and barely uses batteries.
