Redcat 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic – 1:10 Scale Hopping Lowrider
The 1987 Caprice Classic was considered a very popular car during its time, impressively selling well over 100,000 units. Years later, because of its availability, the 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic became an obvious choice in the lowrider scene. Its classic, boxy design, with a relatively large body and spacious frame, made it an ideal candidate for custom work.
The Caprice Classic, especially from the late ’80s, is often chosen for its solid frame, which provides a strong foundation for hydraulic or airbag systems, offering a sturdy backbone for the rigorous effects of hopping. Its large size acts as a canvas for impressive paint jobs, custom interiors, and the installation of unique rims—all key elements of lowrider style & culture. With such a strong presence in the post-’80s lowrider community, the Caprice Classic was destined to be on our design list of 1:10 scale Redcat hopping lowriders and is carefully recreated with incredible detail and performance.
Built on Redcat’s proven LRH285 hopping lowrider chassis, this RC is engineered for authentic cruising and realistic hopping action. Paired with the LR6X 6-channel radio system, complete with lowrider-style switches, you can pull off tricks and maneuvers just like a full-size hydraulic lowrider.
Every detail has been carefully designed for realism—from the sculpted interior and magnetic body mounts to scale 13″ reverse lace wheels, genuine white-wall tires, chrome accents, and a detailed undercarriage. Optional LED lighting adds even more style for night cruising.
Performance matches the looks thanks to a powerful suspension setup: a REEFS V2 hopping servo, dual 35KG rear axle lifting servos, and precise steering control deliver the full lowrider experience.
The result? A fully functional, officially licensed 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic lowrider that captures the spirit of the streets and the passion of custom culture.
