Best Budget RTR Rock Crawler: Redcat Gen 8 V2 or Sendero HD?

If you're looking for the best RC rock crawler, watch this video! We compare two of the cheapest, big-name RTR models to see which is the best crawler: the Element RC Sendero HD or the Redcat Gen 8 V2!

Correction on tools: you'll need a 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm hex driver to change the motor. And possibly a soldering iron if the replacement motor doesn't come with bullet cables already attached.

Rock Test Scores & Notes:
Sendero HD: 3:09, 6 rev, 1 gate, bonus. -19
Gen 8 V2: 4:30, 8 rev, 1 gate, bonus. -17

Scores may be close but the Sendero HD did it much faster!

Also, I had a technical problem with filming and have had to show a worse run here for the Gen 8 V2 than it's best. This run had 3 gate touches! Did you spot them all? I did a few runs with the Gen 8 V2 and took the best score (-17) for the comparison. The score for the video here would have been -7. It was not an easy course! (But that shows you how good the Sendero HD really is!)
