Frankencrawler!!! The Ultimate Gen7 Build!

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- The birth of this monster goes back a few weeks ago when my Axial SCX10.2 tumbled down a climb at Papago and broke a couple of shock towers, one of them being the front left with the pan hard connection! I thought that I could either order new shock towers for the stock Axial chassis or go in a totally different direction!
The chassis of my old Gen7 has always been a good candidate for a build, designed by BP it has many adjustment points for the shocks and has the set up for battery forward mounting and standard 3 gear style of transmissions. I decided I was going to replace the stock SCX10.2 chassis with the flat plates of the Redcat!
I had already changed out the transmission in the Axial for the Element Stealth X unit with 11.83% overdrive and swapped over all the links, shocks and AR44 axles. The front axle was also equipped with the BP servo on chassis mount so that the truck can be converted to four link front.
I also had to make a couple of other changes such as a smaller BP battery mount to fit under the Creep body (which has been converted to cab only) and the front aluminum bumper mount from SSD. Other list of parts are:
SSD Slotted Stamped Steel Wheels
Jconcepts Landmine tires (going to need two stage foams!)
MKS HV1220 Steering Servo
Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport 550 15T motor
Hobbywing 1080 Speed Control
and Spektrum STX3 3 channel radio/receiver

I have an redcat gen 7 sport and i love the BPC chassis is so adjustable and robust!
For sure, I enjoyed the truck when it did have the BPC chassis! The only reason it's been changed out is because it took a bad fall and got bent. I may try to bend it back one day and using it again! Thanks for watching the vid!
What a great 👍 build congratulations
Thanks brother! I appreciate all the help!
Man, absolutely love what you have done. Just got a gen 7! Super excited to start building it and man this was very inspirational 👏 SUBBED
Thanks! I ended up taking a bad fall a few months back and bent the Gen 7 chassis but I would like to try and bend it back into shape! Thanks for subbing, I appreciate the support!
@@CactusCrawlersRC Glad your OK and glad I found ya. 👍
Got to love a good Franklin build
Haha, yeah, that Franklin sure can build an awesome rig! Thanks for watching bro!
Do you have video on the whole build?
I'm sorry but I didn't do a video of the build. I basically used the SCX10II kit on the Gen7 chassis and swapped out the transmission for the Element with overdrive, it worked out really great until it fell more than 7 feet onto a concrete floor at an indoor course and bent the frame!
Sick as fk. 🎉
Thanks bro! I’m glad you liked the video! Happy New Years!
Are you running the normal redcat skit plate or?
I was running the three gear trans and skid from the SCX10II but the Redcat skid probably would have been good too!
@@CactusCrawlersRC I just ordered a major of the parts all I gotta do now is order the raw builders kit of the scx II for most of the parts did you also use the scx links or what and what battery tray are you using and did you have to make any modifications to fit some parts
So if you wanna know what parts are comparable here you go lol!!
Seeet build great crawling
Yeah, spot on RcArty! All it takes is a little bit of hobby ingenuity! Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support!
