About this part
Redcat Gen9 with Detailed International Harvester 800A Body
The Redcat Gen9 Scout 800A 1/10 4WD RTR Scale Rock Crawler has been designed with ingenuity and an obsession with detail. This truck features a two-speed transmission, updated portal axles, precision suspension geometry, zero bump steer, high grip tires, and a highly detailed body with a rear pivot mounting design.
The first thing to look at with this Gen9 is the officially licensed International Scout 800A body. The body is molded in three separate pieces which allows for a more realistic full-depth interior. The body is internally braced and uses a rear locking pivot mechanism with dual quarter turn fasteners up front. This system reliably secures the body in place and provides easy removal when needed. The interior uses injection molded dash, seats, pedals, shifters, door levers, window cranks, and much more to add incredible realism.
Powering the Gen9 is a powerful 550 motor and 40A ESC. The 2-speed transmission delivers power to the updated portal axles. The updates made to the portal axles have eliminated both bump steer and axle sway! This allows the driver to take more precise lines and ultimately have more vehicle control. Portal axles provide more ground clearance without needing bigger tires. On the GEN9, much of the gear reduction happens inside the portal axles, which means less chassis torque twist than in traditional axle shaft driven trail trucks.

It is beautiful, heavy and trails well. The 2-speed is a little troublesome and the slipper was too loose from the factory.
This scale trail rig (along w Redcat’s GEN 8 v2) is one of the most underrated vehicles available on the market. Their chassis layout is very well-centered, and is easy to clean w regards to aesthetics. Good aftermarket support makes for nice improvements for the crawling scene, and looks really good on realistic lines. This is definitely not a basher; thanks to the dual speed options, this is the kind of rig you can take on the trail, and stop to crawl over/around/under obstacles. Pair it with your fav servo, brushless motor (HobbyWing Fusion recommended), and have a blast.
This is not a crawler, if you visit redcat’s website (the people who manufacture it) it clearly has it listed as a trail truck
Three reviews of the Redcat Gen9 Scout 800A Graphite RTR, all for the same variant. Reviewers describe it as attractive and good on the trail, with a well-centred chassis and good aftermarket support. Two reviewers note issues with the 2-speed transmission, and one says the slipper clutch was too loose from the factory. One reviewer calls it heavy. Reviewers disagree on classification: one describes it as a trail rig with dual speeds suited to stopping and crawling over obstacles, while another says it is not a crawler and that the manufacturer lists it as a trail truck. Sample size is small.
- + Attractive, realistic looks
- + Well-centred chassis layout
- + Good aftermarket support
