  • Have you ever wanted to be behind the wheel of a 1:1 Rock Racing 4500 Modified Class rig? Now you can, just in 1:10-scale! Redcat is proud to unveil the new Wendigo electric off-road rock racer. This exciting new true-to-scale beast is just what power-hungry terrain conquering enthusiasts are looking for. Designed to be durable and handle whatever you can throw at it, the Wendigo is built up from a proven platform, the Gen8 ladder-style frame, and a rugged driveline. New scale axles with diamond-shaped pumpkin and heavy-duty internals get power to the 2.2" Interco Super Swamper tires on Raceline wheels. A potent Hobbywing brushless system means you’ll have plenty of power on tap while ripping through courses. Topping the rig off is a racing-inspired body and roll cage loaded with scale detail. The Wendigo is packed with many more features that are sure to impress; all in a ready-to-run package.

    I'm liking what I'm seeing. Hopefully this will jumpstart the stagnant 2.2 class. Anyone thinking it's a copy or clone isn't looking under the hood. Yes, they chose a popular body style (looks like a deadbolt, wraith 1.9, Vanquish front end...), but they've got their own stamp the components underneath. I for one, dig the body design (which is probably because many are drawn to that look). The divorced transfer case layout and the axles look good too.

    I'd like to see a full cage like the gen 7 for this, and with the Camo X tires, with beadlocks, and the reef metal sliders.. all stuff you have in house..the body is cool, but without a rigid style body like the gen 8 I'll stay away from it unfortunately. I do like it tho.

    Awesome job Redcat, great looking rig... Really love the use of part of the Gen 8 platform and using the chassis mounted servo. So many options for custom builders for some really cool builds. There will be many a creative mind set whirring with this release. A chassis builders kit for sure please. If I were to have a negative it would appear you've dropped a beadlock wheel? Small inconvenience though.
    Cheers 👍

      Glowingtomato that’s part of throttle control. I’ve got a 4300kv in mine with no drag brake. It’ll go just as slow or fast as you can handle.

    • @northsandiegorc4248
      @northsandiegorc4248 4 года назад

      Not designed for that at all as it has a non sensored brushless motor. This is meant to be quick on the rocks

    • @westonpaschal5078
      @westonpaschal5078 4 года назад

      Well a stadium truck isn’t designed to be a drag car but yet there’s Slashsters. Only difference between a 2.2 and a 1.9? Tires. Make a gear change and tires, this turns into a Gen 8 without portal axles.

    • @northsandiegorc4248
      @northsandiegorc4248 4 года назад

      Weston Paschal well drag racing doesn’t require a sensored setup.... and there’s more to this then tire size. Regular gen 8 has a brushed motor, and axe edition has a sensored brushless setup....your question was about low speed not high speed 🙄

    • @westonpaschal5078
      @westonpaschal5078 4 года назад

      My reply is you can make anything do anything you want. Think outside the box. I just put gen8 axles under my Ascender. And 2 if you want to go slow, don’t hammer the throttle. Like I said my 4300 will crawl at a snails pace, not get stuck or hammer it and it’s on the roof. Me personally, I like to have it set up to be non drivable and doesn’t make sense, it makes me a better driver because of throttle control, anticipating the way the rig will react in certain situations, and knowing the full capabilities of what it can do. Original question. Can it rock crawl? I say yes it can, without a doubt. Can it run against an RR10 or Wraith? I say yes to that too.

    @BigAssPimpsDotCom 4 года назад +1

    Redcat I love you guys but this is not a rock racer. Rigs with a suspension setup like your Camo are rock racers. Calling it that is not a wise decision, real rock racers will run circles around the Wendigo. It's confusing. Your Wendigo does not come close to the handling and stability of a true rock racer. With its current powertrain(which is also a mistake) it's a 2.2 trail truck. A brushless sensored system would make this a great 2.2 trail rig and crawler. Actually just a Hobbywing 1080, 550 35T, and and 3S would make it so much better at slow speeds and still have plenty of speed on tap. The 1080 has amazing low speed control and smoothness and i'm surprised most crawlers don't come with them RTR. Putting an unsensored brushless motor in a solid axle crawler is an awful idea. You guys really did an amazing job putting the AXE system with the FS-GT5 in the Gen8. I hope you guys do an update on the Wendigo soon. Cheers

    • @RedcatracingAZ
