LRH285 Designers Show Kit

Introduction

If you're into custom building, the LRH285 Designers Show Kit is a must have. This is the same great chassis used on the popular Redcat SixtyFour and FiftyNine hopping lowriders, but with lots of chrome and it comes as a prebuilt slider. The LRH285 Designers Show Kit includes an overwhelming amount of chrome parts and is the perfect choice for those who want to create their own show-worthy custom RC hopping lowriders.

Overview

Because the LRH285 Designers Show Kit was designed as the perfect base for builders to create award winning lowriders, Redcat has included a chrome chassis, chrome frame rails, chrome transmission case and gear cover, chrome front suspension arms, chrome V2 steering arms, chrome front lifting bell cranks, chrome steering tray, chrome rear axle housing, chrome center driveshaft and chrome trunk pan. The LRH285 Designers Show Kit is a fully assembled slider that includes the popular LRH285 hopping lowrider chassis, brushed motor, servo horns, mounting hardware for your electronics and lots of chrome. This kit is made to give builders the opportunity to craft their very own custom lowriders, so it does not include a body, wheels, tires, radio system, ESC, servos, battery or charger. If you already own a Redcat lowrider, you can use the same Redcat LR6X transmitter that came with your RTR lowrider, for this kit as well. Just buy a receiver and program the new lowrider into your existing LR6X transmitter’s multiple model memory. That saves builders the cost of buying a second transmitter. This should provide the perfect base for builders to create an absolutely beautiful show-worthy custom RC lowrider. If you’re into custom building, the LRH285 Designers Show Kit is a must.

One of the things that makes the LRH285 Designers Show Kit so customizable is its chrome base. There are so many builders out there who have custom painted their Redcat lowrider chassis, chromed them, and have done some pretty wild things to make them stand out. With the chrome base, builders can either leave it as mirror chrome, or spray candy colors over the top of the chrome to achieve some amazing effects. Builders could even layer a light coat of colored metal flake, suspended in clear, before applying candy to achieve an absolutely wild effect. This is a lowrider after all, and in the lowrider community, metal flake and candy colors are where it’s at. Usually candy colors are sprayed over top of a silver base coat, which is beautiful, but a candy coat sprayed over top of a chrome base gives an entirely different effect and is absolutely gorgeous.

Radio controlled lowriders have taken the scene in a big way. If you attend an RC show or full scale lowrider event, you’re almost certain to see someone with a Redcat RC lowrider. They are perfect for anyone who wants to experience what it’s like to operate an authentic hopping lowrider, just on a less expensive smaller scale. Redcat lowriders are designed for slow cruising and performing hopping lowrider tricks that are only possible because of the purpose built LRH285 chassis, which uses a realistically simulated hydraulic suspension. The LRH285 chassis, designed by the very best team of engineers, replicates the unique movement of a full-size hopping lowrider.
