Nitroholic Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Lamest video I have seen for some time..... Filmed so you have no idea of speed, and just shot in the street outside some blokes house. flat ramp jump over a kerb. Amateur YouTube kids mostly do better, and they are not slapping an 'official' logo on the start. I would be ashamed to post that for me....let alone for a business. shows nothing, raw footage, poorly done. Hope they put more effort into the truck.....

Tug Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 This didn't go well! Screws can be threadlocked, and should be from the factory. The bumper is not acceptable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not very impressive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Redcat racing is just another eastern distributor brand..... Using same parts as himoto/HSP/fs..... I recognised those plastic fan covers ....as my lads HSP 1/10 truck had them on ....and that was brought out 4 years ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Meh, it's a decent attempt - the actual chassis design looks pretty good with some solid components. Better electrics than the Xmaxx considering the first mod Xmaxx owners do is fit HW gear. However, as much as i'm starting to dislike Traxxarse and their antics, the X is very hard to beat IMO.

Fly In My Soup Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'd opt for the cen collosus at the moment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If you want true 5th scale then I'd stick the MTXL wheels on a DBXLE, which is a fantastic bit of kit. Or get an Xmaxx V2, accept that 5th scale MT stunt trucks are perhaps unworkable due to weight, and live with a smaller, lighter truck and better run times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 As noted REDCAT are distributor brand, named as such to hit the american market where names with an eastern tinge don't sell well. They do seem a little more forward looking that some though - they have a rebranded Hong Nor SCRT10 that looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Agreed, large trucks don't fair as well when it goes wrong and the runtimes are abysmal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Soo...... after a few short runs....the wheel hex rounded, the wheel melted, the CVDs fell apart and the bumper fell off. Again. This is on a new truck, being run on sand....which should be relatively light on the drive train with the spinning, so I would have to say...this thing is not a good truck. Great that they told Redcat about it...but the truck is unlikely to change much. Just not a good design and not well put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Haven't watched it yet, but just seen this pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Lmao..well at least they're giving refunds out.... Not fit for purpose. P.s. American accents instant irritate me or no real reason.... Just thought I wouldn't miss the opportunity to tell the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
