The voice in this Gen8 AXE video may sound very familiar (Greg from RCDriver) but this is an official Redcat Racing release video. In the video, Greg talks about the Gen8 AXE specs and features vs the original Gen8. He also talks about what it would cost for you to build your own version if you started with a Gen8 PACK or original Gen8.
The Redcat Racing Gen8 AXE Edition is currently available for $499.99 with free shipping to the lower 48 and when you dig into what's included with the AXE Edition, you'll start to see what an amazing value this really is. Gen8 AXE Features:
Many Gen8 aluminum upgraded parts are already available with more to come Check out the Gen8 Scout II AXE Edition right here 'till next time Rob Here's another quick look / review of the Gen8 AXE Edition. This one is by Reef over at Reef's RC...you know, the guys that supply the Reef's servo in the Gen8 AXE Edition. Reef also talks about his new Gen8 rock sliders and hints at a servo winch that may be coming soon Greg over at RCDriver posted this great Gen8 AXE review video over on his YouTube channel. Greg does a thorough review of the Gen8 AXE including talking about all of the upgraded parts and of course, the electronics package I was about to write a blog post covering some of the latest information on the upcoming Gen8 AXE when I discovered this video by exocagedrc. It spills the beans on pretty much everything we know to this point on the new truck. Including the fact that it will be coming with a bunch of upgraded drivetrain components, a genuine Hobbywing AXE 2300 brushless ESC / Motor combo, Reef's RC 422HD servo, and Flysky GT5 transmitter!

Just kidding, but really there is a parts diagram toward the back of the instruction manual.

Here's a quick look at the Gen8 Parts Diagrams for you as well. Hope it helps.
