In this video, I go over the features and early mods to the Redcat Racing Gen8 V2 Scout II trail rig and trail test it on my backyard crawler course. I was pleasantly surprised with all the features you get for the awesome pricetag of $299! And it's also a really capable 12.8" wheelbase trail rig. I like that you can modify the wheelbase by just repositioning the links. It was a ton of fun playing around with my new vinyl plotter to add custom decals to the body panels. Overall, really enjoyed this rig and would recommend as a great value alternative to the SCX10.3 or TRX4.

Huge thanks to Bitgo Hobby for sending one of these to try out on my channel! Views are my own. www.bitgohobby.com
