Now that's a true rock crawler basher, I think this is worth to be right up there with my 1/16 summit!

Sure, it can handle the hill, but can it get through Nate's beard? I don't think so! :)

This truck is real big fun,soooo many hard roll over and accidents but it's still drive,drive and drive again😄😁👍👍

SUPER COOL. NOT NORMALLY INTO THE CRAWLERS, BUT THAT 1 HAULS A$$! I LIKE IT. THANKYOU FOR THE DEMO.

I just bought the gen 8 in blue because of you guys. This is next on my list and bam you guys do a vid on it. Sweet!! Can't wait to get it!! 👍👍

Super cool truck! Best of both worlds! Super fast for a crawler type vehicle! 🔥

The color scheme looks outstanding and love the rock racer scale format. Tires and wheels look pretty nice for RTR. Plenty room for folks that love the upgrade process but none seem necessary. Imagine a sensored combo?! Plus, the Wendigo eats The Hill's lunch! I have one Redcat MT10E and it's a great rig. This one looks like a big value and a great first rock racer. Congrats on *_your_* new truck Abby! 😉👊

Holy smokes. I'm not a ground vehicle guy, but if I was, I would have this one.

It was 🤯. Drove great, did great on the hill. Abby do get CRAZY🤪🤪🤭🤭 with the controls. It SURVIVED Her so it definitely gets 👍👍from me.😋😋😋. Hope those puddles didn't have any poor polliwogs🐸/🐸tadpoles in them. If so it's the first time for polliwog🐸 Roadkill I've ever seen. 😂😂😂😏😏😉😉. ⚓⚓👍💜🎊💖👍⚓⚓.

The hill ... NO PROBLEM!! AWESOME RIDE!! Put the LIGHTS on and please ... NO FUZZY BALL FRINGE!! Thanks Saylors for sharing your honest experience!! 💟👍😘

Just purchased… thanks for your recommendation and honest review. New to the hobby and dig your channel. Thank you, God bless!

I think this is the most excited I've ever heard Nate get. I was shopping around for a rock crawler/racer n found this thing. Came here to see your review and I'm sold this thing is a beast and it's nice to know I can trust your review to be accurate and true. I'm ordering one

thanks keep us posted on how it holds up in a couple months, been on my radar for a while

Will do Jon 😃👍⚓😎 Small update in our pinned comment.

The truck is a great truck with some shock adjustments and a aftermarket sway bar it should make it handle a little better and get rid of some of that torque steer

Thanks fr the review! I may add the Wendigo to my collection. I have an Axial Bomber V2 that is becoming a fun truck, but ouch. It needed all new steering and suspension links and a 3500kv brushless system to bring it to life with a higher starting price. The Wendigo (I've been doing some research) needs some sway bar mods, maybe a few other tweeks, but looks like a lot of fun that is close to right when you open the box!

Kinda early squad where you guys at stay safe all ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️😊😊😊😎😎😎

Whooo-eeee, that car is an agile racer! 🚘 Thanks for putting this tough truck through it’s paces today.😬

Thank you both for all you do bring teach and most of the your connections and love for the hobbies

Wow, that looks amazing! Love it!

I have 5 different red cats. And they are all very value priced and well worth the money. And unless you do something really stupid, they are unbreakable.

Thanks for sharing, nice vehicle!

I personally think the park should rename the hill, Saylor's Hill.

Great video guys. On 3s the thing it's crazy. What made mine controllable I installed a gyro receiver it helps control the straight a way acceleration and keeps it in a straight line.

Yes guys!!! Really cool basher kind of trugby/rock-racer/monster crawler LOL 😆

That thing is wild ! 👍

Nice runs so well looks cool

Awesome job guys 👍😎

This rig looks like it’s so much fun 👍

Thanks for the review. Love my wendigo. Stiffen suspension, add a swaybar. Makes it better. I geared down with a higher kv motor. Run on 2S.

I have the red cat gen 7 sport, i read reviews and watched your review on it. Iike the truck and went one step further and put a trailer hitch on it to tow my rc boats from the parking lot to the lake, now thats cool!! Thank you rc sailers, John J.

COOL!! 😎

Litterally just bought after watching your unboxing and watching this vid half way went and clicked link thx man can’t wait for it to get here got the 3 day shipping can’t wait now ima finish the video lol 😂 awesome content

Crazy that it can't drive straight on the pavement, but it can sit sideways on the hill without flipping...

I was one of those waiting and when I saw the thumbnail I said, no I shouldn't say it. Okay okay I'll say it already. "F_ _ _ yeah, be at the hill, be at the hill, be at the hill ye there at the hill. F_ _ _ yeah😊

Great testing guys, finaly someone made a good waterproof brushless rock truck. I mean there is plenty of brushed ones but i like speed!

This RC sure could benefit from some stability control. Serious Power!

Another great job Nate and Abby! Also, if anything breaks redcat has one of the better warranties.

It comes in first then Abby then Nate😂It's a really nice truck guys, Thanks for Sharing.

You guys are a lot of fun to watch!just keep it coming and I don't have any stickers from you guys so I would love to get a few thanks keep up the great work

Hey anybody who sees this and still wants to buy a wendigo make sure the slipper clutch is not too tight withwr from the factory or while you build the kit. It uses shitty bent washers for the slipper tensioner so i would also change that out for a spring. Itll save you from breaking shafts and axles like everyone else

Absolutely nasty. I will be getting one. And most of my stickers on my built emaxx. The power patch on my jeep body for the crawler!

Been a while since I've commented on a video. Nice to see how your channel has grown over the years, both in subs and quality. The close ups and slow motion shots on the hill are fantastic! I missed the unboxing video. Heading over to watch that now. Hope you two continue to keep doing what you're doing!

Good evening!

Awesome video Not sure if you could do donuts but what an awesome if not one of the best trucks. God bless

Hi big fan

I've been looking at this and the camo"X what u think Nate ?? I like the windego body

I want to get a rock racer but I don't know which one. Can you do a rock racer shoot out comparing all your rock racers?

You have to try some wider tires on it! It's sooo much more fun, especially in sand and mud 😉😉😁

Great choice of batteries, I highly recommend Lectron Pro 3s 5200mah 50c batteries along with Lectron Pro ACDC 10a charger. I believe it is one of the best RC products for the money!

What distinguishes this as a "Rock Racer"? Please do a video where you run it in an area suited to rock racing. Bring along a 1/10 MT, something like a Granite BLX, and have them run head-to-head. Seems to me that with this vehicle what you're gaining in ground clearance you're losing to a high CG. Thanks.

I remember redcats was splash proof. Not waterproof.. Lol!! My earthquake 8e redcats truck was splash poor. Couldn't go threw water well. I had to replace esc and servo and radio and receiver because of it. But frame was tough thou.. and I wish I didn't get rid of it. I could kept it and fix it up more. There was a guy selling kit that u can either used the shredder arms to widen it out more. Redcats rc is ok and quality ok. Just they needed a bet quality control because they had made 1/5 scale truck 8s truck that kept falling apart because they didn't lock tight screws. I believe was r5 truck they call it. It's sad that they didn't remake it better for guys that can compete with arrma or traxxas.. but this is kool truck

I think I would just play the disc golf course while I was there.

Yeah, that happened sometimes.

I wanted to see a comparison of that and the sport trx

hi rc saylors you should do the e-flite extra 300 heard it is a good plane

Looks pretty cool.you guys should check out the 1/6 scale 1941 army jeep I just got pretty scale. It's from fms and rochobbies

Hey, Do you guys know if a 11.1v battery will work with a ECX1070 brushed ESC?

Do you guys have a Traxxas Rock Climber?

Is it my imagination or is it lower in the front left?

Please try this sail boat. Its and updated version and its awesome.

You need to see if you can find out if you can get belted tires for it to not worry about ballooning.

Are there other bodys for this? That's my only complaint

@TheRcSaylors

And it has quite a bit of torque twist.

This is in interesting but odd duck in the RC world. It is set up like a crawler but isn't one. But a solid axle basher is more of a monster truck thing. They seem pretty well built but have no specific purpose, making it a great first rc for kids or novice adults. Basically it does most thing at a mediocre level, with pretty good durability.

Hi Nate and Abby, That Redcat is over the top. One of your better videos. Abby, NICE legs. :-)

You guys remind me of the king of random (tkor) channel

Can you do a side-by-side comparison of the stock Axial Ryft and a Stock Redcat Wendigo? I'm considering these two but can't decide. I'm curious to see the size difference as well as the performance of each on similar terrain.

@TheRcSaylors

While we still own our Wendigo, it's near the bottom of our ground vehicle list. I've kept it for the way it looks, and NOT it's performance. Out of the box, the Wendigo needs so much work and is nearly undrivable. It was exciting to bash in our first video, but we have been let down by this RC over time. Still looks cool though 👍😁😎⚓

@tigerone2353

The ryft or axial Bomber 2.0 are high end rock racers. Wendigo is not..it will break. It doesn't handle. You will have buyers remorse if you buy it. Several big reviews on line have given it the thumbs down because it breaks parts so easy and doesn't handle. Redcat has never been a top tier rc car. Bottom to mid level at best.
