The Danchee / Redcat Ridgerunner is a 1:10-scale, ready-to-run rock crawler packed with features rarely seen in its budget-friendly price range. It’s built for hobbyists who want a capable crawler that delivers solid performance without overspending.

This truck comes equipped with a 1500mAh 7.4V Li-ion battery and a USB balance charger, so you can spend more time on the trail and less time swapping batteries. The large battery tray can also accommodate a standard 2S LiPo pack if you prefer an upgrade.
​
Its 2.4GHz radio system offers four independent steering modes, giving you excellent flexibility for different driving conditions.

With dual steering servos and a transmitter designed specifically for crawling, the Ridgerunner offers selectable four-wheel steering while you drive. You can easily switch between front-only steering, rear-only steering, crab steering, and a tight-radius four-wheel steering mode. Both steering servos are mounted directly to the portal axle housings for precise control.

Portal axles lift the differential higher than conventional designs, improving ground clearance without upsizing the tires. The durable metal portal gears help cut down on chassis torque twist, improving stability. Each axle is powered by an RC380 motor, keeping weight low and delivering plenty of 4WD power for rugged trails and rocky obstacles.

A four-link suspension system with aluminum, oil-filled shocks sits on a tough chassis supported by metal frame rails, giving the truck both strength and smooth performance. From steep climbs to uneven terrain, the Ridgerunner is engineered to take on a variety of challenges.

The model even features a “Dig function”—a capability usually limited to high-end competition crawlers. With a quick press of the rear-lock button, the back wheels stop, allowing the front to pull the crawler through extremely tight turns. Press again to restore full four-wheel drive.

The Ridgerunner’s tires are designed to provide exceptional grip across rocks, dirt, and other rough surfaces. Paired with the crawler’s premium features, they ensure confident handling on demanding terrain.
​
All in all, the Danchee Ridgerunner delivers a combination of advanced capabilities and affordability that’s hard to find. With its RTR setup, adjustable steering modes, and robust axle configuration, it’s an excellent option for anyone looking to get into rock crawling without sacrificing performance. It is available in both

Here's a fun RC car storage project I just completed using some Ikea Fintorp rods and hooks.  I decided to stagger the bars to match the slope of my ceiling and also to clear the printer but you can easily create one long rod if that works better for you.  To complete the project, I used:
​

• 2 x Ikea Fintorp 31" Rails
• 4 x Ikea Fintorp 4 1/4" Hooks (only three are shown in the photo)
• 8 x tapping screws and drywall anchors
• Phillips screwdriver
