Redcat releases the Wendigo Builder's Kit and XR247 Axle Kit

PHOENIX - July 15, 2020 - PRLog -- The popular Redcat Wendigo, 1:10 scale rock racer, is also available as a builder's kit. The new Wendigo Builder's Kit allows the RC enthusiast to build this competitive rock racer the way they want it. The Wendigo Builder's Kit includes a complete unassembled chassis, wheels, tires, clear body, and additional scale accessories.

The Wendigo kit is loaded with high end features and components, like its competition inspired weight distribution. The front mounted position for the motor and transmission, along with its centrally located battery tray and divorced transfer case provide excellent front to rear weight distribution for confidence inspiring driving.

The wheelbase is adjustable from 334.7mm to 358.7mm, with 346.7mm being the stock configuration. The Wendigo's gear boxes feature Mod1 gears and ball bearings. The heavy duty telescoping driveshafts provide reliable power delivery to the front and rear trussed axle housings with diamond shaped pumpkins. The diamond-shaped central axle housing easily slides over obstacles and the CNC aluminum spool, along with a one piece pinion gear, can handle heavy weight, big power and aggressive driving. Steel internal axle tube inserts add low CG weight and prevent axle flex.

The shocks included with the ready to run Wendigo have black aluminum threaded shock bodies, silver adjustable preload collars and they perform extremely well. The Wendigo kit includes the same high performance shocks, but with silver aluminum threaded shock bodies, black adjustable preload collars, laser etched black aluminum shock caps and titanium nitride coated shock shafts. The Wendigo kit's aluminum frame rails are also laser etched with the Redcat logo. Enhanced for the Wendigo builder's kit are the front and rear solid axles, with their steel axle tube inserts. This adds even more rigidity and strength to these already amazing axles. Another major performance upgrade is the use of a softer rubber compound on the aggressive Super Swamper tires. This new TC5 soft tire compound adds lots of traction, giving you another competitive advantage. The black Raceline wheels now have a silver outer bead ring, just for the Wendigo builder's kit. The new Wendigo builder's kit not only looks amazing, but it seems to have the makings of a top tier competitor.
