Redcat vehicles?

[bdog325]

How durable are the redcat vehicles? Are they good quality? Thnx

They aren't really that good a quality, hence the low price. You're better off saving some money and buying better-known and supported brand like Associated, Losi, Traxxas, Axial, Durango, etc.

The best thing is to see what brands your local hobby shop (lhs) carries parts for in stock and go from there.

+1 for hamz, great advice

+1 on saving up and buying a better quality vehicle. To me it doesn't matter what the lhs carries because you can get your parts online, almost always cheaper too.

I have had good and bad with redcat. Their nitro 3.0 series are great but the 1/10th scale stuff is made cheap and almost always use the same stuff. The LHS that I worked at carries them and I fixed a few each week but that doesn't mean they are less quality. I do agree with going with what your LHS has no matter the brand. I wanted Durango for my SC but ended up going AE because of parts support. Just my 2¢

My redcat is the biggest waste of money I have. There customer support is also a joke. Save your money and buy something with some quality. Shaun
