They are all good in their own way. Redcat Gen8 main adventage are portals. That thing is almost too easy to drive. Solid chassis. Bit on the heavy side, but does not need much upgrades. Only downside if you live outside of the US is that several distribitors stopped importing Redcat. I live in Europe and parts are no longer available and expansive with added shipping and customs cost to order from the US. Tires need breaking in and benefit from better foams. The SCX10 II is a solid chassis that a lot of people have. The Cherokee XJ kit version that I have is definatly the best SXC10 II version in terms of what you get in the kit vs some other versions. Not a fan of the standard shocks. Standard tires are ok, but better tires and foams will help performance. Since this video I upgraded the shocks to TRX4 Sport shocks and springs and that was a big improvement. I also added BoomRacing overdrive to the front axle and it crawls so much better now. Body is now replaced by the same XJ body in same Overland style in a silver color. But I now also use a Sky RC corner weight scale systeem to setup my chassis and body builds better. Also updated the tires to Proline KM3s. For this SCX10 II some better weight distribution, better shocks, better tires and foams and the added overdrive really made this chassis go to the next level. Availibility of original parts can be diffecult in several parts of the world. For me living in Europe distribution of Axial is not as good as Element RC but way better as Redcat nowedays. Which is kinda of a big deal for me time and cost wise. I regarly have to order parts from the US because original parts are not available in Europe. Last but not least the Element RC Enduro Sendero. This is my favorite chassis out of the box. It is closest to a SCX10 II chassis. But Element did such a good job on the one. Overdrive options right out of the box and 3 setups you can choose from. Tires are pretty decent and I only added some Crazy Crawler foams. Loads of TRX4 and SCX10 II aftermarket stuff fits. Plus nowadays there is a huge aftermarket support for Element RC. Weight distribution is best right out of the box comparing to most RTR and kit crawlers/scalers available. Most have more weight on the rear as to the front. And often not in balans between right and left side. The Enduro platform has right and left 50/50% in balance. And front/rear has a perfect trial setup of around 53-55% weight in the front depending on which Enduro. It takes so little to get the Enduro chassis to a 60/40% front/rear 50/50% weight distribution and get it to a crawler setup. I love that about this brand. Shocks of the Enduro are one of the best you can get on a RTR or kit. As good or even better as TRX-4. Plus Element RC has now so much versions of this chassis it really is a platform. Which is smart. All parts are interchangable. Add or remove IFS. Go from trial and scale to LCG. From scale to rockracer. So many options, all the same base chassis. I always say I like them all, you need to appriciate each brand and chassis. Chose which one you like. I enjoy all of them. Of these 3 after all this time after making this video. I drive the Element RC Enduro Sendero the most. Than the SCX10 II. I stopped driving the Gen8 because of lack of local parts supply. Which is a shame as it is a solid chassis and drives really easy. I now own 5 Element RC Enduros, different models. So maybe all of above is a bit helpfull for you. Have fun in this amazing RC hobby.
@@cesco_rcthis should all be in the video description. Very helpful. Between the Axial SCX10 base camp and element enduro, what would you recommend? Any comments are helpful.
@@avneet911 I am a bit of a fan of the Element RC Enduro as it is such a versatile and reliable chassis. I do not have personal experience with the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp yet. It looks like a solid chassis.
Dat is leuk om weer is buiten is terug mogen rijden he, dat heb ik van de week & weekend ook gedaan met vriend en top, Echt een leuk vide mijn vriend mijn like#15. Tot later👍
Same trail, how will a Redcat Gen7 Pro do? Have a look: ruclips.net/video/rKI7SRATEAs/видео.html
Just replace the "vs" with "having a blast together". 😁👍👍👍
That is a true thing! They are sure great fun to drive. Thanks for tuning in.
Yeah I was expecting a video explaining the differences....

Awesome video superb intro excellent meet up👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this video.

Dank je. Dat is het zeker.
Nice vid, love the colour on the Gen 8, might do mine in yellow :)
It is sure a color that stands out. I have 2 videos on my channel how I removed the original paint and repainted the body.
@@cesco_rc thanks I'll have a look
We need a few tug of wars
Mmm, that is a good idea! 😋
@@cesco_rc let's see it man!
Gen 8 driver sucks or you’re making it look bad on purpose🙄
It is a Tamiya 4x4 Bruiser driver, but looks a bit too small in that body.
