    Just did this on my Gen7 Pro. Mounting points were slightly different in the manual for the Pro. After doing it, it changed the whole truck

      I know right! Such a difference, hopefully you cut your driveshaft lol.

    The stock tires are awesome after sipeing with a Dremel and installing crawler innovations two stage foams.

    If you wanted the top link to the furthest forward postion and a bigger pinion you could always put the link screw from the inside yeah ?

    • @arkansasrcnewbie
      @arkansasrcnewbie  Před rokem

      Yeah, I could see that. That is a right squeeze but that's a good option 👌

    Did you do the steeering tip. Where you trim off a piece to get a sharper turn

      You know I just moved the servo horn linkage mount. It worked well

  • @dustinrossi9384
    @dustinrossi9384 Před měsícem +1

    If you look on the website the photos the links are in total different location compared to manual and what you did 😂 would that be the extended wheel base? Either way 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ good. I know old video but im dusting off the gen 7

    • @arkansasrcnewbie
      @arkansasrcnewbie  Před měsícem +1

      Dude dust it off! Lol
      I belive my wheelbase is a 12.3

    Learning as well as you go dude. What tires would you think would work better with the stock wheels?

    • @arkansasrcnewbie
      @arkansasrcnewbie  Před rokem +1

      Hey brother, thanks for the comment. It's working so far for me lol. Now I don't have very much experience with a bunch of tires, but the hyraxes I compete with are great and the mounting part of the rubber is pretty tight. Here is an affiliate link, plus the foam is much better then stock. Good luck and thanks for asking!

    Well I did set mine up like yours and it ended up putting too much attention on the steering arm and broke. Got the aluminum on the way

    Awesome tutorial. How do you feel about not having the ESC in a waterproof case? Just wondering why redcat didn't put one on.

    • @arkansasrcnewbie
      @arkansasrcnewbie  Před rokem +1

      Appreciate the comment Scott. You know it doesn't worry me because wet is never the plan lol, but I could see it being an issue for sure. Although I have seen it run under water, I think the reasoning there is no case, maybe due to the overall price? If so then I'm totally cool with that too! I mean a ready to run under $200 is pretty groovy 😎 Thanks brother

      According to the box the ESC is waterproof, so probably doesn't need a case
