- improvements to the Gen7 sport pro crawler... did some more mods on her raised the bumpers so they wont get snagged on stuff and also adjusted the shocks for a little lower CG!
Please Sub & Like and hit that bell!
THANK YOU =) - Zábava
Very cool! I love the many tuning options that come with the truck like many shock positions as well as the bumper mod. 👌
Yea the tuning may never end! =) thanks
Oh yes, great adjustments!😉👍
Thanks for the comment =)
Yup, another excellent video from the shen, that is the shen rc production unit. lol. another set of great tips Steve. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Thanks bud!
Excellent mods , awesome job !!
Thanks it's much better now.
Great nicely done mods👍👍
=) thank you.
Good mods! That'll help it out alot man! Thumbs up #4
Thanks =)
Nice tinker Rc your digging it I can see :-) Nice work...
Yea it's getting better and better...now if there was not so many darn leaves piled up in the woods I can take it out some more!
Just picked up a gen7. I followed your advice and swapped the suspension linkages, and flipped the bumper mounts. It handles much better and made it a more capable crawler.
Thanks for the great videos.
That's cool glad my videos helped you. Thanks for a great comment!
I love my Gen7 sport! just wanted to say it!
COOL! I am enjoying mine also =)
I did it today when I put my LED's on works great also make it look higher. On the the PRO there is a tire mount on the back hidden on the roll cage so I put the tire in the rear now the cg change is immensely better. thanks Bam
COOL! Thanks for the feedback =)
Is it inside the body? Not seeing it
Thumbs up Steve. Good job : )

That thing sure is cool brother, I need to step up and get one someday. Tired of the baby toy ones. Great video Steve man
Yea there fun! thanks for the comment =)
Cool! free mods are the best
You know it! thanks =)
Nice mods gotta get my gen7 out for a run
😁👍Thanks, yes take that sucker out for a run!
Looks like the wheelbase needs to be shortened to help prevent getting stuck in a high-center situation.
It's a double edge sword if you do that then the rig won't climb up as steep incline I have tamiya CC-10 4x4 trucks and found the longer wheelbase version runs and works better all around than my shorter wheel base version, The gen 7 works fine the way it is I have no problems with it.
Just got my gen 7 and I’m already about to chop and mod the sh*t out of it this is also a very easy and well shown mod
😊👍cool thanks for stopping by, And yes very easy and will make it run better for sure.
Happy new year bro ,i'd like to ask the gen7 moter gear is 48p or 0.6m, thanks again
Hi it is 48P, Happy New Year & Thanks for watching.
The Gen has had some modifications now, the bumper mod was cool.
Yea I moded a lot on it now =) Thanks.
how did you relocate your electronics like that? i would love to do something like that because mine is just too top heavy
Hi if you look in my channel I have a redcat gen 7 playlist I show how and what I did to my gen 7 all my modifications. Thanks for watching.
another awesome bumper is the traxxas summit bumper up front
Cool!
My gen 7 bumpers were constantly hitting on rocks, so i took them off. The body i want to replace it anyways if i can find one.
Yeah, Mine with all the mods I did to it worked very good. Thanks for looking.
I haven't received my gen7 yet but I have a question for you. Can the front bumper be adjusted in closer to the body? If so that would also help the approach angle.
Hi If you push it in closer the bumper will hit the front tires when you turn, you can trim the bumper sides off a bit maybe but what I did in this video helps a lot and is best to do. Thank you =)
Shen RC that make sense. I won a gen7 in a raffle the other day so I was watching your upgrade videos for some ideas for when it gets to me.
Nice! lucky you =)
Will this work on the pro model seeing the back is hinged?
Hi I am not sure about that you would have to look it over and see. Thanks for stopping by 😊👍
Nice video wonder if a pick up truck body can be mounted on it
Probably , you just would need to play around with the body posts.
Just got a gen 7 took it for a test run & now one of the shocks doesn't seem to bounce back up so it scrapes the body. Anything I shoulda done before I used it?? The truck looks like it's drooping down on the front right side, new to the RCs would appreciate your help 🙏🏻
Hi Bummer.. you should not have had to do anything to it.. sounds like the shock bottom collar that holds the spring on the shock on the bottom may have fell off ? look at your other chocks see if they look the same as the drooping one? also make sure the shock screws are tightened up on the shocks top mount . Thanks
Shen RC looked at it and the spring are sitting on the cups & the screws are tight too. The right shock just looks like it's getting pressed down on & not bouncing back out all the way, could it need some oil? Or should I put some shock spacers I really don't know what to do haha thanks 👍🏻
The side that droops down the shock seems softer to push down on while the side that's good is a little stiffer, hope you can help thanks.
Hi did the shocks bottom come lose is there oil leaking out? is it the front or rear? I suggest unscrewing the top screw that holds the shock on the chassis and compress the shock by hand is it sticking? it should feel smooth going up and down? could be a bent shock shaft?
Shen RC yeah I think there oil leaking out by the bottom it looks wet I thought it was from when I was outside, but someone suggested a bent shaft but it looks pretty straight to me. Could the oil leaking out be the problem, if so how could I fix it?
Looks like you will not be able to put the rear body pins unless you trim the rear body. You mentioned that you didn't have to adjust the body at all. How is that possible?
Hi thanks for watching, you don't have to do anything at all because of lowering the truck then flipping the body post mounts then it lifts the body again a little to stock position and everything goes right on . 😊👍
Shen RC you are 100% correct. I forgot to flip the rear body post mounts lol love your videos by the way! Subscribed!
would you recommend this crawler as a good entry level one?
Yep in a heart beat! thanks for tuning in!
i'd honestly say this is probably the best beginner crawler on the market
thanks question
How long does it take to charge the battery?
How long is the battery?
😃 Hi I use a hobby grade charger and my own battery I think the kit charger and battery takes like 4 ours to charge.
@@ShenRC for charger and how life is?
Hi the stock 2000mah pack I never ran it I gave it to a friend get a cheap $12.00 awanfi 3600mah pack you will get almost 2 times the run time search awanfi in my channel you will see them and a link to buy them also in my video description.
@@ShenRC Thank you!! If I'm going to watch the video.
this lowered the center from 81mm to 75mm on mine.
Yea it's a great little adjustment to do. Thanks =)
Now 2.2 tires will fit under it also.
👍😊👍
you know a way i can make my gen 7 taller
Hi the only way to make it higher would be to get longer shocks or cut some plastic or metal and make a small plate adapter that you can screw on to the chassis with 2 screws on the original chassis shock mounting holes location that comes down lower and re mount the shock tops on them lower so it raises up the truck.
@@ShenRC ok thanks and stay safe
@@masonsrcadventures1745 Your welcome, you stay safe also.
You lowered the chassis and raised the body and bumpers. CG did not change or you made it worse.
Hi no it did not the body is the same height or lower when you do this the only thing that got higher is the bumpers which you want so they don't get hung up on everything and the front angle of attack is better for going over obstetrical s., and the whole rest of the heavy chassis and motor and gearbox and components plus your batter pack sits a little lower making it much better. I know I trailed with it both ways it's much better and stable like this😊👍👍 Thanks for stopping by.
