300bhp/ton Posted November 11, 2024 Share Posted November 11, 2024 Can you get Redcat stuff in the UK these days? I admit I've not looked, but in the past I thought it was a bit of a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted November 11, 2024 Share Posted November 11, 2024 Will that 'fair' price of $160 turn into £260 once available in the UK I wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I've not looked, but in the past I thought it was a bit of a challenge. I have always thought redcat stuff to be of good quality and have always been surprised that its not readily stocked in the uk, i have toyed with the idea of becoming an importer and reseller of redcat in the uk and give up my current job but have never done anything about it though, always scared it would be a failure after all like all other folks i have bills to pay Edited November 11, 2024 by wolfie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 Hmm, i think i still prefer the Traxxas version, plus thats a scale looking hardbody, that has the upgraded metal gear servo fitted too (cant think of the model no.) i get that the Redcat body is what’s in fashion and most of the real 1:1 monster trucks have that slimmed down body, i was the original Bigfoot fan as a kid and for me (except the Gravedigger) and its still the appeal i think. im really happy with how this micro/mini scene is becoming popular again, back in the day we had Losi micros/minis as there wasn’t much else…..
