JConcepts Corvair Redcat Gen8 Takes a Trashing, Keeps on Bashing

#jconcepts #corvair #rccrawler
With portal axles, stiff suspension, lifted body, and massive Tusk rubber, this new Corvair/Gen8 combo is designed to be my wintertime snow smasher. But here it is December and no white stuff; just slick, slimy mud. Might as well test the truck's limits at three or four local sections voted most likely to send your truck ass over tea kettle. All things considered, the little blue wagon did well. Top-heavy, but man, can she climb.
Cheers and thanks.

That spot at the end was worth all the tumbles

[@NaturallyRC]

Thanks, like I said to Nick, The Falls are a hit with everyone who comes to The Ravines. In spring the water comes pouring over, making it more cool. Cheers.

Thanks Island Duke. Much appreciated. Cheers.

Nice trail crawler video💪👌
That body is ❤️‍🔥

[@NaturallyRC]

Thanks 👍 FRCA. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Glad I went with period correct blue instead of yellow. Have a great day.

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

@@NaturallyRC you too. Have a nice week

[@RcNickster709]

Wow that end shot was awesome. Enjoyed the whole run Great video The Corvair is pretty capable out there

[@NaturallyRC]

Thanks, The Falls are a hit with everyone who comes to The Ravines for the first time, and repeat visits too. In springtime the water is just pouring over that ledge, making it even more fun and challenging. And yeah, the new '60s soccer mom wagon is getting it done, now that I'm used to those enormous tires, and almost no suspension articulation. Ha. Cheers.

Great trail running! The Corvair looks so great, hopefully you'll get to run it in some snow soon!

[@NaturallyRC]

Maybe it was your comment that led to us having snow a few days later! Thanks. Glad you like the Corvair. A nutty choice for a crawler body, but different can be fun. Cheers!
