Another great video Gerry. I don't get why RedCat gets so much shit. The Gen8 V2 is still the only portal rig I want to buy. It's been a dream since 2020 to own one. It was the first rig that I saw with full inner fenders and no body pins/posts sticking through the hood or roof, and began my trip down the rabbit hole of scale RC.
Thanks for sharing another Friday with us. I appreciate the fact that your modifications tend to be simple, inexpensive items that would be easy to replicate (e.g., the inner fenders you made). I am looking forward your future comparisons. Perhaps 4x4 vs. 6x6 in climbing ability or long wheelbase vs. short wheelbase.
I'll stand on my stance on the Redcat Ascent, mine has kicked the crap outta some more higher end comp style rigs more than once. I agree with you on the big channel cry babies bottle 🍼 😭 😆, enjoyed watching great video, will be watching the 803 👍
Thank you Gerry so much! Your the rc grandfather we all need! I don’t really have a name for my channel it’s just what popped up on there years ago.. minds eye has giving me a few shout outs too and it’s really nice if you gents to do so! I’m just starting out but it’s incredible the friends I’ve made and I appreciate you guys for real . I’m guna make some videos whenever I get time , life is busy you know how it goes. Thanks for another great let it fly episode! To many trucks for me to pick for a VS challenge I’ll just follow along and enjoy the ride 😃👍🤙 there all awesome
Awesome video again Gerry. Loving the sound of the challenge. So many awesome rigs difficult choice. I guess for me it would be maybe Redcat scout vs the axial Or redcat vs fms
Bought my son a Red Cat Everest years ago, Only Red Cat we ever bought. He abused that thing in ways that would make a grown man grit his teeth and turn his head away. He shredded a few bodies thru the years. No up grades no mods. BONE STOCK! Still runs. That's all I know about Red Cat but it's enough.
Another great let it fly! After a long day I really appreciate an adult beverage while watching your videos definitely becoming my Friday night theme!! I like collecting patches with “Velcro” back lined backside (I would definitely buy if you ever have any available!) Have a great weekend Gerry! 🍻🎉
Great video! Contest sounds fun, looking forward to that! Your package goes out tomorrow buddy, there will be more, lol How about the Redcat gen8v2 against......anything else? Redcat is the stuff !! I havent even run my TF2 LWB yet and am thinking of selling it to buy another Gen 8 v2! Love Redcat RC
Great let it fly nice you're doing shout outs I've found a few new channels that way thanks, i'd like to see the axial blue blazer vs the fms blazer and I'd lay money on that 10.2 all the way. thanks for sharing
Hi Gerry, I have a Wendigo built and still needs painted and an ascent… they are nice rigs but my ascent isn’t as capable stock as some of my other rigs. But they are definitely going to be around for the long haul!!!
I’d really like to see the Fordyce vs Blackjack, whether it’s in the verses challenge or not. I’m real curious to see how Blackjack does against something known, in the real world, not just desert rock conditions.
@ I kinda figured so, but that particular matchup has me curious. I’ve obviously seen that blackjack rig running at its previous home course, but I really want to see how it does in other situations.
Little sparse on dogs in this episode Gerry... No problem, the 4 we have do a good job making up for it :)! Truck giveaways are always interesting! You know Gerry, our friend, Mr. Talbot might think you should "raffle" a Truck off! I'm certain that he does quite very so well with his raffles! I never win, so they must be rigged! :) However.. I like how you plan on operating this 3 Truck Challenge! Making it a 12 week ordeal will add good substance to an already good idea! Good Thinking my friend! I lost a receiver today Gerry! It failed to respond to the steering and 2 other Radios when I tried those. So I "stole/borrowed" the receiver from my High Trail and it worked just fine! Yeah, it was in a Traxxas 79 Blazer the orange & white model.. My rarely used "shelf queen" that played me like that! I don't get it though! Why would that receiver just up and die?
Yeah, the dogs were pretty well behaved this week! I can't wait to see how they act week to week! Iam not sure on the receiver could be moisture, that causes corrosion that creates shorts they can be fickle little suckers!
Well RCAD He did an axle swap on a Vetera ascender And he made it work to perfection. I mean, it's an awesome truck of a Vetera ascender with portal axles. You need to check out his Channel Lives in northern michigan👍RCAD R c after But that was not a trail finder 2
Carl over at Zeeks RC has couple of channels and I’ve been watching him and Jay a while, as far as the format for the vs series I’m going to predict now that I will pick the losing truck in every round. That is and has always been my luck 😂 to date the luckiest I’ve ever been is to get this Old Review Guy named Gerry to tune in and comment on my Livestream’s, I guess I am winning after all 😎
Hey Gerry about the giveaway, please let us know when the time comes that it's actually you. The reason I mention this is because a few years ago on Greg Vogel's channel RCDriver_Online, supposedly I "won" an rc from him (giveaway) and some SOB scammer pretended to be him and I almost took the bait. 😡 He wasn't the only one I'll tell you that! Just some food for thought.
I have the Gen 9, have driven the sh!t out of it and have not had a single issue. Love Redcat! Have the Scout II 1/18 on the way!
Awesome! The Scout is a great one!
Heck yeah! I love my Gen8 and am finishing up my Gen9 build right now. Love those Scouts!
Yes, sir, that is a 1080ESC in your truck.
I think it might be!
Dog kisses and heat comes on in the first minute! CLASSIC
Thanks buddy!
Anyway, I put my money on the high trail up against the axial 69 blazer.
Let's see how it goes!
Great video Gerry , cool mudtruck ! Best looking truck GM ever made , 1967-1972. Looks like you have 3 or 4 of them 👍
I love those old trucks too!
Thanks for the shout out and it looks like some interesting fun is coming up
I'm looking forward to it too!
Thanks for the fun on Friday, I like the plan. 👍🏻🤠
You betcha! Happy flying! 🤠

Redcat does check all the boxes for me!
Another awesome video Gerry, can't wait for the challenge 😊
I'm pumped about it too!

Thanks, I’m glad you like the modifications! And those both sound like good competition

Well......said
Glad you enjoyed the video and the Ascent has proven itself for sure!
Love my Ascent 18 😊

Thanks for the kind words! Keep up the great work.
Great like you needed more ammo!🤣🤣🤣
That he does!
Awesome video again Gerry. Loving the sound of the challenge.
So many awesome rigs difficult choice.
I guess for me it would be maybe Redcat scout vs the axial
Or redcat vs fms
Thanks 👍
Man I want to see an head to head with the HPI FJCruiser and the SCX10.2 Blazer! 2 of the best looking rigs shootout!😊
The looker challange!🤣🤣
FMS Chevy 1/18 is a very fun truck . Great video 👍 Fms blazer vs Traxxas blazer would be a good one .
We shall see 👀 😏
The FMS 1/18 LC80 is a really good rig !!! You won’t regret it !!
Thanks buddy!

So true, i bought a everest pro for my grand daughter and she rode it hard with no repairs needed!
@@gerrysoldguyreview 👍💯
Another great let it fly!
After a long day I really appreciate an adult beverage while watching your videos definitely becoming my Friday night theme!!
I like collecting patches with “Velcro” back lined backside (I would definitely buy if you ever have any available!)
Have a great weekend Gerry! 🍻🎉
Appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed the episode! Will see what spring can do!
I just bought the fms fcx18 K10 I absolutely love it, fms needs more love from RCers, Love the channel Gerry
Thanks for the support! FMS really does make great stuff.
Great video! Contest sounds fun, looking forward to that! Your package goes out tomorrow buddy, there will be more, lol
How about the Redcat gen8v2 against......anything else? Redcat is the stuff !! I havent even run my TF2 LWB yet and am thinking of selling it to buy another Gen 8 v2! Love Redcat RC
Thank you so much buddy! Would give that tf2 a run though 😁
Great let it fly nice you're doing shout outs I've found a few new channels that way thanks, i'd like to see the axial blue blazer vs the fms blazer and I'd lay money on that 10.2 all the way. thanks for sharing
Thanks Derrick 😁 we shall see!
That is Rc After dark.
Great channel love it? Shoot I Send you my broke FJ40 for your high trail.
I’ll take it off your hands! But the homemade high trail is beat up abit!
Hi Gerry, I have a Wendigo built and still needs painted and an ascent… they are nice rigs but my ascent isn’t as capable stock as some of my other rigs. But they are definitely going to be around for the long haul!!!
You are going to love that Wendigo when it's done!
Hello, I've made/printed my own canopy with battery storage for my P801 and would like your opinion. Is there a way to get some photos to you?
Channel email in description, oldguyreview@gmail.com
Another rig I’ve never seen. You’ve got quite the collection Gerry. Also, I’m not sure who Ladesh is but if she’s down then I’m down. Take care.
I have a few toys that have been collecting dust, and yeah, she’s a pretty great girl!
I’d really like to see the Fordyce vs Blackjack, whether it’s in the verses challenge or not. I’m real curious to see how Blackjack does against something known, in the real world, not just desert rock conditions.
They are both included in the 12!
@ I kinda figured so, but that particular matchup has me curious. I’ve obviously seen that blackjack rig running at its previous home course, but I really want to see how it does in other situations.
@@DRZ-RC I will throw what I can at it!
@ I have no doubt about that! I’m here for it.
hey brother how about a cross bench talk.....
do a head to head on the cross vs hd 8x8
That could be fun!
Little sparse on dogs in this episode Gerry... No problem, the 4 we have do a good job making up for it :)! Truck giveaways are always interesting!

Sounds like a good build, it's always cool to see different setups!
