The Gen8 V2 International Scout II is a highly competitive professional rock crawler that includes many performance features such as C-channel frame rails, a low center of gravity battery tray, a centrally mounted divorced transfer case, a lockable slipper clutch, portal axles with metal gear covers, MOD-1 gears, machined aluminum spools, front CVAs, 32 rubber-sealed ball bearings, threaded aluminum shocks, 47º steering blocks with proper Ackerman, a Panhard bar, LED-ready bumpers, a winch-ready front bumper, and frame-mounted floor pans.

The Gen8 V2 features a highly detailed fully licensed International Scout II body, a hard plastic grill, plastic folding mirrors, molded inner and outer fenders, a shackle mount front bumper, a receiver hitch-ready rear bumper, and plastic rock sliders. The Gen8's body and bumpers are ready to accommodate LED lights.

True to scale, licensed Interco IROK Super Swamper tires and functional beadlock wheels allow the Gen8 V2 to navigate through the toughest terrains. Each wheel features inner and outer beadlock rings for maximum strength and tire holding capability.

Portal axles provide greater ground clearance without the need for larger tires. On the GEN8 V2, most of the gear reduction occurs inside the portal axles, resulting in less chassis torque twist compared to traditional axle shaft-driven rock crawlers. The portal axles provide 54.5mm of ground clearance and include metal gear covers, metal wheel hexes, and CNC-machined spools.

The innovative dual design slipper clutch allows the driver to adjust the slipper clutch or completely lock it out. Locking out the slipper clutch is simple; just remove the slipper pads and springs, then reassemble. The GEN8 V2 includes a 32P spur gear and Mod 1 gears in the transmission, transfer case, and portal axles.

The Gen8's robust transmission and transfer case feature massive Mod 1 gears, engineered for hard-core crawling in the most grueling conditions. A sealed pinion and spur keep the gears safe from rocks and debris. The gearing can be adjusted to suit various motors and driving styles, with easy fitment of 9T to 23T pinion gears allowing gear ratios of 28.12 to 71.85. The Redcat Racing GEN8 features a front-mounted motor, a divorced transfer case, and 32 rubber-sealed bearings throughout the vehicle.

The Redcat Racing GEN8 V2 excels across all types of terrain. The stock configuration offers 73.4mm of ground clearance, a 61-degree approach angle, and a 39.5-degree departure angle.

Fully adjustable wheelbase, adjustable ride height, adjustable toe angle, multiple shock positions, adjustable approach and departure angles, tunable suspension, and a lockable adjustable slipper clutch ensure optimal performance of the Gen8 V2 under varied course conditions.

The Gen8 V2 International Scout II is highly upgradeable, with numerous upgraded parts available, including many 3D printable components made available for download by the engineers.

The Redcat Racing International Scout II is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-performance professional rock crawler with limitless potential.
