Redcat racing got me back into the hobby after a very long time. I've owned a Gen 7 for about 6 months. For the price I'm more then happy with what it is and how it performs. Just got a left over ascender K5 Blazer and it is a fantastic machine... but that Scout looks awesome. I need it in my life. Thanks @Redcat Racing
Great truck,I had to preorder mine because they weren't out yet,and after running this truck constantly(at least 3 times a week) finally the steering servo went out,nothing else has been replaced,very durable,and strong truck,in essence I love my gen 8.
I like to see a green one but that is just me . I might have to get one to do a review on my channel. Nice to see the company showing more interest into scale scene.
This product coming off off the success of the gen 7 with improvements and i'm assuming portal axles, etc is going to sell like crazy. Looks sharp too.
....wow. This gave me a new opinion of Redcat. I used to stay far away because I knew the Chinese vehicles were junk like all the others, but now? Redcat is worth another look, for sure.
I would love to get 2 of these for my son and I to show up all the traxxas my local hobby shop gears people to... Can't wait to see one in person. My son's 1st crawler was a rs10! And it took a beating I passed it on to a friend's son and sadly it got the losing end of a car running it over. If you need some feed back let me know!
The gen 8 scout is a step heading in the right direction. The price is more affordable than competitors. just keep upping the quality and you guys will out sell the big names in the hobby world. I am waiting for you guys come out with a Jeep Grand Wagoner.
I would like to see more on the Scout. I have a few custom RCs as well as TRX-4 Bronco, The Scout looks good, A head to head with TRX-4 would be neat to see,
Got the whole lineup Aces. I love Redcat too. I have 2 Gen7s (1 pro, 1 sport) & my Backdraft 8e. Definitely want that Thunderdrift & Camo X4. Oh and the Team Redcat SC10e..all of them. Lol
The TRX4 will always have it's own market with it's 2 speed, and diff locks. It is amazing to see the long TRX4 turn so tight with the diffs unlocked. That being said, I have the TRX4 and the Redcat Gen 7. And will almost certainly end up with one of these as well! Really wanna know street price!
Absolutely love it I just acquired my first Redcat 1.9 RC it's actually a gen 7 sport I took it out my first weekend and completely destroyed it beings everything is plastic internally but ordered all new stuff The Right Stuff metal and I love this thing nice to see an awesome RC that is still affordable that people that are less fortunate can have
Plus it is so easy to work on the Gen7 and get your hands into one of these. Basic setup help guys get into the hobby, get them tinkering with their rig. Then we all graduate to a Gen8...lol. I'm getting one for sure. Have 2 Gen7's.
Hell yeah! I was into crawling back in its infancy. I crawled from 2005 and until 2012 or so. I was burned out and crawling had become rock racing. I moved on to otber endeavors. But this big beautiful Orange Scout from Red Cat has me back in the saddle. Way to go Red Cat! I’ll be rocking a Gen 8 on the AZ rocks of Flagdtaff!👍🏼
Redcat Racing Great job👌👌👍👍. I'm looking forward to having the Scout out on the trails😃😃. Looks like very capable rig😮😃👍. I'm really happy with my gen 7 Pro☺😃. Looks like the Scout is next in line✨👍.
Man oh man this is exciting Redcat! Don't stop here though! Design in house a new short course truck, Maybe a 2wd SERIOUS race buggy to compete maybe even a serious 8th scale buggy to compete in the racing scene all designed from the ground up in house.... So many possibilities guys please don't stop at crawlers! The hobby needs a serious shake up, a serious wakening! and what better under-dog brand than you guys to step up to the plate.
Been waiting for an American company to start making a good RC! So happy it's so affordable too! Got my Redcat Kaiju EXT today, haven't had the chance to run it yet! I REALLY hope it runs as well as it looks! The parts on it are "top shelf" too!
I've done to many mods to my Gen 7, think i'll just add the portals and call it a day.. body on the Gen 8 does look good though. I hope they make it out of a lil thicker lexan than the Gen 7 body as its to thin and flexible..
This new Scout II reminds me of the first generation of the Axial Racing SCX10 kit. Back when you used to get Proline-Racing Flatiron Tires, then the R35 sticky Ripsaw tires along with Aluminum Links. Long before the single piece axles started cutting costs... Oh the good old days!!! Hopefully a few more big brand name companies, take a look in the mirror. So they can figure out which direction their companies are heading... . . .
Technically speaking it is sold with no battery or charger. It uses "Deans" T-plug connectors on the ESC. The speed control is rated for 7.2v-9.6v NiMh or 7.4v - 11.1v LiPo batteries.
don't forget it is still a Redcat Racing rig. it probably will fail apart right away like older other vehicles.also the price is very high for Redcat Racing toy.
Feel free to pick one up and test it! Then compare it to other model scale crawlers on the market - mind you they will most likely cost a lot more. Then see how well they hold up! We think you might reconsider your comments validity!
WOW, impressive rig, Oh yeah and its NOT A JEEP!!! The RC gods have spoken up with the new International Harvester Scout II Rally edition!!! Many thanks!!!!! ;)
If I didn't know any better, I'd say this little Gen8 is gonna make Traxxas sweet a little. The reason why I would say Traxxas, is because of the copyright infringement watch dogs! At least until they figure out a copyright infringement possibly... Don't get me wrong, I am a Traxxas fan boy! But this new Scout II = AWESOMENESS straight out of the Box!!! Pretty much a game changer from all the videos I have been watching!!!!! ;)
I also love the history of the video still plan to get a gen 8 probably gonna be awhile unless someone wants to send me one for *testing* cough cough redcat racing and thanks for the like and highlight
Hey RedCat, what about a RedCat scout international with 3 speed. What about a RedCat gen9 special edition 1/8 scale. I only have a RedCat Everest 10 I wish I can have a RedCat gen7, maybe one day😞.
I wish the companies would release cars that use stickers to blackout the windows that could be removed or versions with clear bodies so we can customize.
Unfortunately the clear window style on a molded body is not as easy as a body with window stickers to manufacture. It is also leaves less opportunity for miss-alignment issues. So clear bodies are available for a lot of the models we carry but they just don't ever come from the factory that way.
I hate SEMA lol, I do vehicle wraps and everyone freaks out and wants shit wrapped for SEMA at the last possible second, they can't don't this shit months in advance nooooooo they all wait until the last second and it's the same with supercross season lol. I've never actually gone to SEMA but man the week before is always slammed for me I've already put in like 70 hours this week.
@@RedcatracingAZ The Question that came up on the side of the video said 'What Colour do you prefer? Blue Orange' This has incorrect grammar it should be 'Which' not 'What'

The International scout looks awesome, can't wait to get one.
Love you redcat. Bravo. Finally an all American off roader. Looking simply outstanding. Wish I can drive it
Great Story. I'm even MORE excited about Gen8 now that I know it's all in house designed and not a rebranded chassis. Awesome.
I'm new to RC stuff and I was thinking of getting a Everest but then I saw this and now I need this so I'm waiting
We will be buying one of these and will see what we can make out off it. We will do a scale comp build series on one of these.
Oh yeah! 👍😃👍 Can’t wait. 👍😃👍
I first got into Crawling with the Gen 7. Very exciting release REDCAT!
Redcat has come a long way
The last sentence sells it!
That was a great video Redcat looking forward to adding the new Scout to my collection someday. It will have to go right beside my Gen.7😁
congrats Red Cat great to see the hard work paying off, I love my gen7 pro, great truck at a great price.
The Scout lives! This looks VERY promising 👍🏻👍🏻
Great truck,I had to preorder mine because they weren't out yet,and after running this truck constantly(at least 3 times a week) finally the steering servo went out,nothing else has been replaced,very durable,and strong truck,in essence I love my gen 8.
Looks really interesting! Love to test one.
Holly crap ! Eyes watering along with some drool ! Wow ! All I can say, wow! What great looking truck straight out of the box !!!! 👍😁👍
Great video. It's fun to see how far Redcat Racing has come over these years. The best is still to come, well done Darin and Team Redcat Racing.
Thanks for the support guys!
Love my terremoto 1/8 glad to see it in this video RedCat racing
I like to see a green one but that is just me . I might have to get one to do a review on my channel. Nice to see the company showing more interest into scale scene.
Nice! I've just been reviewing some of your TR cars at JJ customs, few videos coming out over the next few days.
Awesome! Great job redcat! Keep up the great work! I see a huge hit coming up with portal axles.
I cant wait to get one, Looks like a nice truck, Cant wait to see the specs on them
Love redcat screw all the haters

yeah Vince, RedCat got some good RC's
Never owned a redcat rc great story/video
Ready to buy one my first crawler and the gen 8 settled my decision!
What a great video
Awesome work
Can’t wait to get these in at the shop
Ps. We like both colours
Me too
Hey Chris’s can you get some of those redcat Gen 8 please Chris
If the gen8 has the portals n is priced right the trx4 sales will definitely go down
The TRX4 will always have it's own market with it's 2 speed, and diff locks. It is amazing to see the long TRX4 turn so tight with the diffs unlocked. That being said, I have the TRX4 and the Redcat Gen 7. And will almost certainly end up with one of these as well! Really wanna know street price!
Awesome!! Very cool looking body, but why the blacked out windows?
To keep the price down. Silk screening windows prior to vacuum forming has about a 20% failure rate.
Cool to know! Thanks for the reply Matt!! Great to see Redcat reading and replying to customers.
They fixed it with the v2

Wow I love it
I'll take one in orange
International scout?? Damn that's a first for redcat to have a licensed body.
What is the street price supposed to be on this thing? Anyone know?
I own a gen 7 not bad for the price! I have built an everest 10 6x6x6 with duel 35t motors and duel 5000 mah batts. Performs awesome!
Love it
What size and type of battery is used in the Gen8 ?
Technically speaking it is sold with no battery or charger. It uses "Deans" T-plug connectors on the ESC.
The speed control is rated for 7.2v-9.6v NiMh or 7.4v - 11.1v LiPo batteries.
Thank you
I am actually really looking forward how this thing is engineered
Is the cat in the logo flipping me off with both hands?
So help family my gen 7 sport motor is done any clue what motor I need to order if I’m running a 2000mah NIMH? Help plz

Hey RedCat, what about a RedCat scout international with 3 speed.
What about a RedCat gen9 special edition 1/8 scale.
I only have a RedCat Everest 10 I wish I can have a RedCat gen7, maybe one day😞.
Not bad ideas at all!
Sign me up for one
Hey this is Aubrey warren from Amite La which is 50 miles out
Welp. I'm going to buy one now
It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine..
Fantastic awesome vedio my friend
Is there a car, nitro or electric?
Trail trucks or crawlers are always electric, it runs on either nihm or lipo batteries what ever one you want.
Imagine Nitro😂 made me laugh just thinking about it

There is indeed a clear body already in the works.

Can't wait to Owen one he'll yea
I don't know if it would keep up to my scx10ii, but it looks alot nicer
We are rather confident in its abilities!
With a few upgrade parts and tweaks my Gen7 will run with one, so I'm sure the Gen8 will be fine with the portals and 40some degrees of steering :)

What about CLEAR!?!

Orange'

It is that way with any RC!
