I just have a few questions regarding cheap RC's
Are brands like redcat and other brands camparible to say Traxxas or HPI when it comes to durability. I've been thinking about getting a new one. I've seen the m as cheap as $250. I know parts aren't really well stocked by LHS. But are they worth it??
 
I would stay away from them, while you might pay less now in the long run you will pay more trying to fix them all the time, Redcat though does seem to be getting better, however personally I would stick with brand names like Traxxas and HPI.
 
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me stay away from them. I had an exceed car it would break at the slightest stress from a small jump or crash.
 
IMO not worth it. At the same time my bro-inlaw has an Exceed Madbash that has been an excellent machine for him so far this year. He has had to buy a few suspension parts but outside of them the rig has been great
 
Ok.... But it's soo tempting for those prices
 
But if you factor in the cost of replacing the broken parts, you end up paying the price of a more expensive RC truck.

Ok I I got enough RC's but I figured if you guys had good results with them that I'd give one a try
