Like to see this again with both using the same set of tires.
And foams.
Yeah I would like to see both with the same tires and electronics Cleary you made the axial have advantage.
You have deepwood tires on the axial and the stock on the Gen 7. I think if you used the same tires it would have been a fairer comparison.
The problem with the Gen7 is the lower links are on the outside of the chassis , this limits its flex , I love my Gen7 ,
I have and first generation of the trail honcho with tons of mods , it's my shelf queen , when I go out with my crawling friends l take my Gen7 , my truck can go anywhere their trucks can go... 😎👍
I had the same issue with our gen7. I put the portals on and really effected my suspension travel. Luckily watching exocaged videos, I found out about 1thenth scale products. They make a nice engine mount that centers the links like an axial. The parts only 15 bucks, I highly recommend it. My Gen7 works better than ever! Give our channel a subscription, thanks!!
Thanks for the video. I like seeing them in action head to head
The crawling test track is looking good
The stearing issue is an easy fix for less then a buck. I'll do that when mine gets here until I put the portals on. Thanks for the video buddy I needed to see that but this will be my first truck so I'm going to get the cheaper one and put everything on it that's available and then move up from there LOL
You got aftermarket wheels on the axial not fair if you ask me 🤷♀️🤷♀️
The gen 7 is half the price and can go anywhere the Axial can..
yeah put the deepwoods tires on the redcat and it will out do the Axial...I run those on my gen 7 and they do awesome on any surface
it's a good rig for kids then huh ??
@@johnkealohafero8900 good rig for anyone starting out in the crawling scene
Nice crawl!! KILLER video 👍✔.NC MOUNTAINS.
Both are great trucks. I love my gen 7 purchased brand new as an open box for $159.00 compared to the $300-370.00 axial the gen 7 IS the CLEAR WINNER both on value and on the pocketbook. Most of what you showed is based on tire selection and the driver. Not the trucks...Just my opinion. Keep up the great videos!
Good video 👍
Im curious how much difference the tires made in this. It looked to me the axial's tires were gripping better.
JMHZ2401 yeah they probably work working a bit better but the stock gen7 tires are pretty darn good too. That axial is also the project Superlite I’m working on but it was 4.5lbs in this video.
What type of tyres and foam did the axial have? And what size? Because they looked maybe bigger unless it’s because of the size of the Jeep body
Jayden McGrow 1.9” Duratrax Deepwoods on plastic wheels. They are 4.75” tall and I think the Redcat tires are 4.65”
Ah awesome thanks for that! Did your tyres come with foams or did you have to put your own in?
Jayden McGrow they came mounted on plastic wheels and soft foams www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXX5DF3/?tag=exocaged01-20
I have the fancier gen7, with roll cage body, fenders and such. for $250, you get some nice scale extras, a RTR truck with decent tires, a decent battery and even a 3s capable ESC. And dropping a 3s into the truck really wakes it up, making sand and other places where you need more wheel speed much easier. The stock rubber is the largest limiting factor, but the same can be said of many RTR crawlers, even ones that cost $100 more than my gen 7. I will be adding weight to the wheels, higher clearance front bumper soon. I also added a engine sound FX box, which adds some fun to the driving experience.
And finally coming out with all metal axels for the Gen7!!!
Try this jeep to the trx4 for a compare
was sold on the Axial as soon as i noticed it wasn't making the electric motor noise
How is the axial turning radius as compared to a traxxas sport. Love your vids brother! Well done!
Kevin Gibbs I’ll have to try that
Let's not forget to mention that the Gen 7 new was half the price of the SCX10II. I see a lot of guys slamming the Gen 7 but it's still a very capable truck for the money, that you ran a Builder's Kit doesn't change the cost of the Axial vs the Gen 7 enough to have made it a fair comparison imho. We all know the Axial is going to outperform the Gen 7 but cost for those with limited resources make the Gen 7 a truck to seriously consider for those just getting into the hobby for example. A wicked video never the less but Gen 7 bashing is getting a bit old.
YYC Designz RC Creations I’m not bashing the gen7 at all. It held its own great.
Good video as far as price and capabilities go Gen 7 does a heck of job. As far as just pure performance goes axial all the way
My Gen 7 has taken some serious abuse and is really getting tired so when finances allow, I think it'll be time to move up to the axial 10.2. And that in no way diminishes the fun I've had with my Gen7. Thanks.
Put the Deepwods on Gen7.. much better tire then stock super swamper redcat
I bought my Gen 7 sport for 195 dollars with shipping one of the biggest improvements was going to wraith ripsaw tires due to the useless foam in the stock tires even with the upgrades i installed metal diff 's ,better servo and a 1080 hw esc running a Holmes Hobbies trailmaster on 3 S it is cheaper than the Pro Gen 7 would love a more capable rig on paper but for a cheap get into RC crawling fun as all get out . Keep up the great and informative videos. On another note being in Jax just wish there was a crawling park in the city.
Moto Joe I love the Gen7 for the most part. I’m about an hour or less from Jax depending on where you are and we are working on a crawler park in my back yard. With any luck it will be open in the fall. We are talking about Florida right?
@@ExocagedRC yes sir north downtown since I am a para that throws a monkey wrench in things working on a FPV system now lol. Oh not criticizing you I have been thinking of getting the raw builders kit and building another rig so I have been keeping up on your videos for that.
@@ExocagedRC have you tried a aftermarket front axle for the front on a Gen 7 ? I have been thinking about trying one to get better turning on it . I have not seen anyone do this, just wanted to get your take on it.
Moto Joe if you want to do an axle swap go for an axial 10.2 Axle like you see here. They have a 3.75 ratio so you’ll need both the front and rear to make it work.
@@ExocagedRC Thank you for info do you know of hand what ratio is stock just wondering been seeing a lot on overdriving front axle as in the Element Enduro Sendero more curiosity more than anything. Again thanks for the info sir.
Nice video. Yes the axial performed better. But lets consider overall value. Axial KIT 200.00 plus dollars. Then electronics, tires, motor. All in what are you about 350.00? so upgrade the Gen 7 ESC for 42.00 to the 1080 and you have a much better truck more equal to the axial and you only spent 242.00 or less if you keep the 1040 or sell it. So dollar for dollar the GEN 7 wins in my book less out of pocket and this means more money to upgrade should you desire.
yeah, you aught to look up my $1000 dollar vehicles vs the Gen7, those videos hurt my feelings! LOL
@@ExocagedRC Keep up the great work!
What radio are you using in the axial scx10 2 ? You have better esc in the axial and after market tires. Now go do the steering mods and and put in a hobbywing 1080 and better after market radio and tires . Lets be fair..
What is BEST? Dilema Redcat danchee double servo double motor, redcat Everest 10 ou redcat gen 7 sport , what is BEST suport, parts, durabilidi and performance
Now I see that the axial is a 10 2,wounding if that may have something to do with the steering
James Swift yes the 10.2 axles are the tightest turning axles available.
How about that Axial vs a Gen 8?
TrailCrawler 203 this axial would eat the gen8’s breakfast lunch and then make it buy dinner. LoL. I love the Gen8 but on pure performance, the axial wins.
Just wondering,if the axial had the spare tire on the back would it make a difference😃
James Swift yeah the added weight would have possibly changed the outcome
Ive been looking for that white body for some time. Hard to find.that's a old orignal scx10 body right?
STINKY 3 SHOES as far as I know it’s just a Jeep Rubicon rtr body.
@@ExocagedRC yep. Discontinued body, hard to find for sell in decent shape.
STINKY 3 SHOES this one was given to me without flares so I opened up the wheel wells and had to repair the body where the cage mounts to it.
Assuming I change to a cheap dual bearing motor, if I put different beadlocks (for style) and the steel transmission gears and flysky gt3c, and maybe a hobbywing 1080 would I have issues?
Should work out great
Exocaged RC I think I’ll do that or a stock scx 10 2 Cherokee, I’ve already saved more then my first hundred for my redcat, so only about $200 more to get the build done
Exocaged RC have you seen these tires? They look scale and have that weird cone cut foam for $17 usa-m.banggood.com/4Pcs-RC-Car-114mm-Tires-for-110-RC-Crawler-4WD-SCX10-CC01-Wheels-RC-Car-Parts-p-1272058.html?cart_warehouse=CN
What axial kit is that and is it fully stock rtr as in the vid?
Auto Body Everything this is the builders kit and it’s close to stock. Considering it was a kit not an rtr
Exocaged RC ..... it looks like the axial kicked the gens butt... I’d definitely fit the realistic body on it and all the bells and whistles
Auto Body Everything the axial was on aftermarket wheels and the gen 7 on stock wheels that aint fair 🙅♂️🙅♂️
Yamaha 4Life Yes, true. But we all can see that. The outcome would change a little bit, but the Axial's overall performance would still be better. The Axial builders kit comes without wheels and all in all it's more expensive. It's up to you what you choose. No point moaning about it.
Axial looks better too!!
Because its a 400$+ truck lol. Why pay that when you can spend 250 on the gen7 pro and it goes anywhere the Axial can?
I dont even think so
Well that's a no-brainer. The Gen7 was a cheap copy of the SCX10.1 so to compare it to the greatly improved 10.2 is an easy win. Those 10.2 were really well designed. Now the old "top" Axial guy works for Redcat so maybe the Gen9 will prove a better competitor to the 10.2 and TRX4 !
Dave Racine yeah very true, what’s amazing to me is how well the gen7 continues to hold its own against others, it may not win, but it’s always right there, in some ways that’s also a win.
@@ExocagedRC I bought mine in the first week of release and never regretted it !
@@ExocagedRC I just bought a gen 7..it will be delivered to me tomorrow... At work...while I'm on overtime.. Since Thursday.. 😳... And seriously hunting for a jeep wj body to make my crawler look just like my daily. Lmao..oh yeah and your videos are torturous for me at work since I bought it. 😂
Exhausted Loughary it’s kinda odd you ask this as I’m working on getting a Proline 4-Door Jeep body on my gen7 with portal axles. Bumpers may be an issue and rear body mounts have to be raised about 3 holes. I may cut the back of it to fit a bumper of some kind and I have a printed mount to fit an axial bumper up front. Not sure if I’ll make a video on the swap or not.
@@ExocagedRC yeah that whole bumper situation seems to be an issue. If a person could 3d print a bumper that could almost look like it integrated with the side moldings, I think that would look real sharp to be honest. If the body was too short you could even make a little extension 3d printed diamond plate like the guys who run those real big almost tow truck like bumpers on the diesel pickups in the 1:1 world.
Will gen 7 run on 2200mah 3s 30c?
John David yeppers, runs 3S fine.
The ESC can take it but the motor will burn its brushes fast. Better install a 35t+ motor to run 3s. (stock gen7 is a 23t)
Dave Racine the stock brushes will die faster with 3S for sure but it’s a cheap motor. Also the stock motor is a 17t. The reason it’s slow is it’s a 550 can, so a 540 can at 21t is quite a bit faster than the 550 can 21t. I’ve run 3S on mine a lot without issue with brushes as usually the motor bushings wear out first, they start squealing really bad.
Tyre choice makes up 90% of a crawlers abilities. A HSP cheapy with quality tyres will probably climb better than a TRX4 with cheapy rubber.
I made everything on my gen 7 metal or aluminum ahh I hate my life I spent so much money on it and then I gave it away
Gen7 lost before it actually begun, Axial kit car, better electronic and one hell of tire's. Gen7 stock all the way...not sure I understand your point of view
I’ve done other comparisons with the same Gen7 vs other trucks and it held its own surprisingly well.
Tire's are a big difference
After the tire cheating and im going to doit really slowly with the axial and dont give a fuck with red cat
Lol Pretty much a stock Gen. 7 you're puttin up against a lightly modified axle the tires make all the difference and the esc lol axial scx10 does have the gen7 on steering And driven completely different in the video
not a good review, he drove the redcat like a 5 year old. I have both, the redcat is better. maybe not as good of body, but come on FULL THROLLTLE redcat, crawling the other. LOL
My thoughts exactly, clearly biased driving the redcat pretty sloppy
