Improving Redcat Gen7 Pro RC Crawler turn radius.

- I show off my Redcat Gen7 Pro RC crawler. I do some circles to establish a reference point for the crawlers turn radius. I go over the RC controller functions and adjust the front wheels range of motion. I do some circles and mark the crawlers turn radius with some chalk. I go over the front wheel servo functions and adjust the front wheel servo horn. I do some circles and mark the crawlers turn radius. I replace the front wheel servo horn. I do some circles and mark the crawlers turn radius. I have some closing statements and sign off.

So if you take a closer look at the remote, you will see that you can adjust the turning radius. There are 3 settings. The setting you were working with was the widest it can be, but it works its way down to way smaller.
Installing the Redcat V2 portal kit for the Gen 7 is a must have upgrade. The change in performance is night and day.
I have heard that the additional ground clearance of portals cannot be beat.
this is a very informative video in adjusting the steering for this RC. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks, I spend too much time doing projects in the summer, but I am looking forward to fall and some more RC crawler videos.
Awesome video! Taught me a lot! Thank you! 🎉
Thanks for the complement.
The turning radius on the remote control goes from 0 to 100 and you must have it on like three
Cool
Thanks, I have got to tape another RC episode it has been a while.
Also if you get it to turn too sharp then it's going to start breaking axles because the spindle cups whatever you call them can only go so far before they pop out and then you have worse problems like three wheel drive
Thanks for the advice, sounds like that information came from a mishap.
Do any crawlers have a similar turn radius to a real car?
I do not think so, or no would be a better answer. I hate to admit this, but I recorded a video on Feb 9 that I still have not edited. I just stay to busy doing everything else it seems. But in that video I recorded the turn radius with my Gen7 Pro in 4 wheel drive , rear wheel drive, and front wheel drive. It turned sharper in front wheel drive and had the same turn radius for 4wheel drive and rear wheel drive. It was late in the day so I stopped what I was doing but what I want to do is remove the drive to one of the rear wheels and see if it turned sharper. Almost all cars or trucks have a limited slip differential that allows one wheel to slip in a turn, I think the little tires grip too much and do not want to let it turn. Because our RC crawlers have positive lock rear ends all of the time they push the crawler straight even in the turn. Now that I am typing all of this I should try the same test on sand because my tires really grip the concrete driveway. Sorry to long of an answer for a yes or no question.
Front wheelies and wheelies in general are not good for this unit I have one and blew the transmission gears and front and rear differentials doing wheelies with it
Did not know that was even possible.
Not true. I have the exact same truck and it turns a lot better out of the box
Not mine I guess not every gen7 pro comes fully great
I agree owning the same truck, my turn radius is much better than that too. Just put the steering bar on the lower hole. so the throw is longer. Easy, there are other add on knuckles but trying to turn to sharp will just wear out the knuckles much sooner. So, I just use the standard lower hole. Everyone to their own and quit dropping the truck.
I think I might reduce the gearing so it is not so fast. I find my Everest 10 easier to operate but it goes a lot slower.
That's because your Steering Dual Rate is set correctly.
You do not know what you are doing
Don't be rude, chief
