Free 3D printable parts from the Redcat Racing Engineering Team

Redcat has been releasing a lot of exciting products lately, like the Redcat Racing Everest Gen7 Sport, the Everest Gen7 Pro and the all new Gen8 International Harvester Scout II Rallye Edition scale crawlers. These scale crawlers offer amazing performance and value. While Redcat is proud to offer such great vehicles at unbelievably low prices, they’ve decided to challenge their engineering team to add additional value for the user community. This resulted in releasing FREE 3D printable parts files to anyone who wants to print custom parts and accessories from their home!

You can find these free downloads on the Redcat Engineering Thingiverse webpage. Once on the Redcat page, you’ll have access to an ever increasing library of free custom parts for your Redcat Racing vehicles.

Visit thingiverse.com/RedcatRacing/designs to start 3D printing cool new parts today. You will, of course, need access to a 3D printer and software.

About the Gen8 International Scout II

The Gen8 International Scout II is the first fully original Redcat vehicle, designed and developed, in entirety, in the U.S.A.

The Gen8 includes high end features like portal axles, front and rear CNC machined spools, divorced transfer case, adjustable wheelbase, licensed International Scout II body with a rigid mounting system, 1.5mm C-Channel chassis frame rails, aluminum threaded shocks, precision steering with panhard bar and proper ackerman angle, licensed Interco Super Swamper tires with 1.9 beadlock rims, LED ready headlight and taillight buckets, rubber sealed ball bearings, and a 61º approach angle.

The Gen8 went through strenuous beta testing before its release, with the help of the RC community, and is one capable rig. With its great performance characteristics, high quality parts, and low price point, the Gen8 RTR vehicle is already an incredible value.

If you haven’t seen the Gen8 in action yet, be sure to check out one of the videos found on the Gen8 product page, redcatracing.com/Gen8, or on the Redcat Racing youtube channel, youtube.com/user/RedcatRacing.
