Different parts for different jobs
These two Redcat parts serve entirely separate functions on your RC. RER14974 is a spur gear hub that keeps the drivetrain running smoothly on RDS and RDS KIT vehicles. RER12072 is a battery tray and skid plate set designed for GEN8 SCOUT II, WENDIGO, and several legacy models like the Gen8 V2 and MARKSMAN.
Because they fit different vehicle families, the right choice depends entirely on which RC you own and what needs replacing. There is no overlap in compatibility.
