Redcat's new XB and XT are 4x4 1/5 scale and a good starting point for someone new to 1/5 scale. Website http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/1-5-Scale.

They can also be had from several distributors such as DDM - http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl?c=885035&sc=12&category=&search=redcat or RampageHopUpscom - http://rampagehopups.com/category.s...6534D2F53A5B3E2A32.qscstrfrnt06?categoryId=29

How do the redcats hold up to hard bashing?

How do the redcats hold up to hard bashing?

I have 2 Baja's and 1 RedCat.
Its their Rally "On Road" but many of my buddies have the MT's & Buggies by Redcat.. They hold up pretty well and there are a lot of nice hop ups too.
Like every rc there will be mods and parts you should replace to make it stronger but I think for the price you can't go wrong with a Redcat if you want to go into 1/5 scale..


Check out Rampage HopUps if you havent already, good prices and tons of support and parts..

If I needed another 1/5 I'd probably go for the 4x4 MT!

Cen makes a 4wd SC truck.

I know King Motor has one as well, but it is first gen and reviews have been mixed to say the least.

I have a 5T KM clone with a 30.5cc engine with a VW bug body. I love the thing. 1/5th scale is amazing and I admit the poor Tmaxx has now been handed over to my son

If you're wanting large scale and 4WD then check out the FG models such as the FG Monster Truck 4WD, all you need to do is add paint and radio gear.

+1, Woodie. The FG is the standard for 1/5 scale 4wd.
