Race It or Bash It! Team Redcat Racing TR-SC10E 4WD Short Course Truck Review | RC Driver

[@RedRoxRc]

I’m a big fan of team Redcat. Love my Mt10e and I’ve really wanted one of these too. Great video and review. I think it’s arguably the best looking 1/10 sct. Rcfam4life ‼️🤜🤛‼️

[@raulduke6699]

Quality Hong Nor truck. This was and is the best short course you can buy. Set up like an 8th scale buggy. Aluminum chassis. Steel drive shafts. All the old Ofna/jammin upgrades are compatible. Makes the slash look like a cheap toy.

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Would you still say that today... He says it's based on something else. Do you know what he was talking about. All I know is this looked amazing.. the parts look really quite good.. good quality... But I'm newer to the hobby

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

This truck was origionall a Hong nor/ team magic/ jammin scrt10 great proven truck, its been around and you can get all the upgrade parts cheap if you look on eBay for the jammin equivalent. Good truck, light enough that the knuckles and arms don't snap on cartwheels. But if you put monster truck tires on it, expect to tear it up. Get aluminum knuckles and upgrade to the pillow ball front end.

[@The429Media]

The Team Redcat line is one of the most underrated out there. I have the original TR-MT8E 4s. It's a rebranded Team Magic vehicle but one of, if not THE, toughest vehicles I own. I think that Redcat is going more in the direction of developing their own vehicles from scratch but again, the Team Redcat line is definitely worth it. Keep up the great work!

[@calebshuler1789]

Hardcorers dog redcat just because theyre rtr. My club says theyre beginner trucks, lol

[@bacongl]

Redcat has really stepped things up lately. Looks like a sweet rig.

[@stevemoon2136]

These Redcats are just awesome value & look the business!

[@psycomustang]

Yes please do hop up video for suspension parts.

[@bashtastikbraaapinstein]

I bought this truck when it first came out and it sat for awhile because parts where impossible to find!! But now that I can get parts regularly, I drive it a lot. It’s a ripper for sure! Mine is box stock and I’ve only broken and caster and one arm.. it will smoke my castle slash 4x4 and my slash 2wd vxl. On 3s it’s straight nutty!! 🥜 I’ve gone through two bottles of tire glue on aftermarket wheels! Not proline and not the stock wheels.. but this truck seems to not be as popular as its performance shows, sad! This was my 2nd hobbygrade rc since being an adult it’s definitely one of my favorites! Arrma notorious has my #1 spot though. Anyways cool vid as always love your channel! I’ve learned a lot from you! Keep up the good work brother!!

[@oliversworldofwheels4910]

That is awesome! Nice driving and awesome review! love the video like always!

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

I'm definitely following. I'm looking for a replacement for my associated pro sc 4x4 when i can't get replacement parts anymore and I'm becoming a fan of redcat. We have a club kind of track and this would probably do the job. I would like to see it on a dirt track though. Thanks Greg..

[@JustinDDavis]

It would be nice if they could do a kit of this truck?

[@MrMuscleheart]

They did back in like 2006. This is an ofna/jammin crt.5, which they used as the platform for the Jammin scrt10. Same truck, lengthened chassis. It has been around forever, and now Redcat is selling it. Which is good for people like me who need good part support. I have basically the same truck (crt.5), no aluminum shock towers or anything, and dont worry, it is plenty durable.

[@lukeplaisier8636]

these trucks are AWESOME and i love watching them from you!

[@AQucsaiJr]

I picked up this truck over Christmas and so far my son and I really like it however there seems to be a very weak point in the front turnbuckle. We seem to break it every time we are out. We are upgrading to the Lunsford Racing titanium turnbuckles hopefully get rid of this issue. We race it off-road on outdoor loose clay and outdoor oval loose clay and it handles both very well apart from the turnbuckle.

[@DeathHelper420]

How is the trucks durability overall? I'm thinking of purchasing this

[@AQucsaiJr]

@@DeathHelper420 Overall its a really good truck. The only issue I have is the front camber turnbuckles however they are pretty cheep to replace. If you do get this truck I would highly recommend picking up a pair of Lunsford Racing 3.5mm x 24mm titanium turnbuckles. From my research that seem to be the fix for the weakness I found.

[@DeathHelper420]

@@AQucsaiJr thx bro. This is very much appreciated. I'm new to the hobby and I created a small track at my friends house. I've been racing a volcano brushless for a while but I never liked how stiff the shocks are. Was looking for a new track car. I loved bashing until I destroyed my front diff lmao now I'm more careful lol

[@AQucsaiJr]

DeathWalker420 If you jump on it now... Amazon seem to be clearing house of these trucks. I’ve seen them on Amazon for under $200 which is a serious steal for this truck. I almost bought another one just to have.

[@DeathHelper420]

@@AQucsaiJr wow thanks for the advice. Awesome sounds good. Thanks for giving me a tip to change out the turn buckle. Gonna save me alot of money lmao have a great day bud

[@vincevargas7892]

Do some straight line runs on the street to show how much speed this truck has out of the box on 3s. My favorite 4wd truck hands down because of the fun I have ripping around the track or street.

[@rcdriver]

Seems like it would be a cool speed run truck.

[@vincevargas7892]

I can see people using this platform. With a body and tire change...but the truck is perfect the way it is out of the box. It's cool to say I got a Team Redcat...haha, not a regular Redcat but Team Redcat..lol. 👍

[@cwatson42785]

Just got mine 3 days ago from Amazon for 230$ Greg! Your video definitely persuaded me to grab it! I had got a great deal on a dhk hunter brushless sct off Amazon 2 days before I bought this for 180$!! I went from no sct to 3 in 2 weeks with grabbing the Mojave 2 weeks ago! I love them! Couldn't pass up either deal!

[@drewc7389]

It's down to $205 on Amazon now, VERY tempting.

[@cwatson42785]

@@drewc7389 I definitely recommend it!! I like it so far. Its crazy fast. Haven't crashed it much so not sure about durability yet. But its 380$ everywhere else so definitely a score.

[@RCBASHERTRUCK]

You can use ofna scrt10 parts also on it also

[@cwatson42785]

@@RCBASHERTRUCK Thanks man! Yeah I found out about how it was a rebranded ofna. Alot of people called it the slash killer when it came out. That's good to know for parts

[@edsonkidwell9813]

Yes I think you should take it out to the track and club race it otherwise how will anyone ever really know how out of the box it would fair in a stock truck class. Maybe race it against those traxass 4x4 stockers everyone seems to think so much of. Its much lighter should have some obvious advantages good luck have fun

[@sammygonzalez7627]

I really like this one better than the one they are selling now, better stronger electronics, better layout. The one they selling today, has a cheaper quality about it

[@shanehochstetler798]

I'm really enjoying my TR-SC10E, the stock shocks aren't bad, I did upgrade to Pro-Line PowerStrokes though. On 3S this thing is just amazing.

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Shane what power strokes fit this truck? Thanks. I just scored mine off Amazon for 220$!!

[@ttoffshore4227]

Redcat got it going on

[@Joe-mp2bn]

Redcat puts lots of time into there truck nice 👍👍

[@RCBASHERTRUCK]

Well it is a ofna scrt10

[@wesleydean1358]

Yes, would like to see you go racing and suspension upgrade with test vs stock. Love mine but on the track, landing jumps seems that the suspension is a bit under sprung. Bounces and looses traction after landing ..gets squirrely.. Recommended area on the body to put holes to prevent the parachuting effect. Thanks very much ....Great videos 5 stars

[@rvnewby1455]

All things being equal, would you race a Redcat short course or Arma? I am trying to decide which to buy.....I know there are better trucks out there, but I like this price point.

[@BRSHobbies]

The TR-SC10E would be better for racing. It has a lot of adjustment options so you can tune it just right for the track.

[@fastrider600]

This is a rebranded jammin scrt10 and is a better race truck. Had mine 10 years now

[@markhufnagel2744]

do both racing and bashing ,let,s see how tough this red cat is.

[@Jonny-le9sl]

Hey nice video! Question what battery do you recommend for this model?

How come these type tires dont come w Blackout? Theyre a must to race on dirt as you know

[@kaptynkavman235]

I run an exceed sct 10 "terrain 10" i use a lot of redcat parts definitely made my truck handle better especially the shocks

👍👍👍👍👍Nice car , better review!! I planning to upgrade my son's (8byear) Latrax, have changes motor 5 time in the past 5 week and yesterday i had to change the ESC. I am looking a 1/10, 4wd, but less of about $140 , do you have any recomendation for a reliable truck? Thanks !!

[@hienbay349]

A local hobbyshop have a Caster Racing SCT10 RTR. Do you have any opinion about that one? Should I buy it? Im in entry level and in love with short course scale. Please reply me 😊

[@timreeper1295]

im looking at getting into rc racing and wanting a short course truck this thing for the price seem like the best starter truck and you can always upgrade to steering servo etc... !!!

[@rw2king]

Take it racing I'm curious how it stands up to other brands

[@rcdriver]

I'm pretty sure I'll hit the track with it at some point. It was fun to drive as a basher so now I want to hit the track even more.

[@cajunrcfamily6188]

RCDriver_Online I’m looking for a track vehicle so I would love to see that video also

[@MrMuscleheart]

Its a rebranded Jammin scrt10, which as done pretty well in racing.

[@hybrid32494]

rw2king whats up bro!! Funny i see u watching this vid. Im considering getting this. What you think?

[@fastrider600]

This is a low cost jammin scrt10 rebranded. Some updates like battery box and servo mount.

[@sudsrc8261]

I think it looks better with the body off in whats in there underneath. Horizon says it's 530mm long which is ever so slightly shorter than others in this class and i think explains why it looks short or squatty to me. But not liking the body is minor on my part. Here's to still hoping you get a chance to review the Redcat Camo TT. Thanks.

[@terrencesansbury4723]

Is it 3S ready out of the box?

[@scottc95]

hey will the body from this truck fit on the new version of it?

[@cigartenders]

this or the senton ? which is better, and most durable ?

[@nlrcchannel3967]

Cool video 😎👌

[@montesy]

Ive looked everywhere for this truck and i was wondering if its still in production?

[@TheReelRahim]

Dont think so bro. I just got my hands on a used kit, and its actually awesome and FAST even on 2S. Already stated as discontinued on their site, so kinda concerned for where im gg to get spares. But its alright, got it at half e price. So now thinking of my local short shorttrack, i dun think i will even need 3S 🤟🏽

[@masterduck1808]

how do you turn a short course truck into a crawler

[@benjaminhunt2395]

Looks like it might be a better racer then a stock Slash

[@RobertNES816]

Depends on the Slash the high CG 4x4 this truck would out handle for sure but the low CG 4x4 might be good competition for this truck. The High CG 4x4 Slash is still my pick for a basher though. The handling and extra ground clearance are MUST haves for me.

[@clutter1253]

Does it come with batteries

[@terrencesansbury4723]

I would like to see it on a track or even on a bike or skateboard track.

Team Redcat is top notch theure tough trucks. Theyre Team Magic relabeled. But I'm sure team magic is also relabeled from the oem supplier.

[@psycomustang]

I've owned this truck for better part of a year I like the truck keeps breaking suspension and steering parts. Also found out it is basicly ofna sc10 truck I wish someone would come out with aluminum a arms for it

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

Theres a pivot ball suspension conversion for it. Message Karl at No problems computer and hobby on Facebook

[@rcdriver]

They are a hard arms. Try boiling your next set in water to soften them up a bit. OFNA doesn't make the truck, but did sell a version of it.

[@rcdriver]

PhilthyCo RC As I mentioned to you before, when I use the term manufacturer, it’s a general term used to describe the company selling the product. I know exactly who makes their products, I know all of the suppliers too, heck I’ve even met the owners of many of the suppliers.

[@rcdriver]

PhilthyCo RC As I said it’s a accepted general term. If you feel it needs to be literal, then you have a busy night ahead of you researching every media outlet with a manufacturers index and has Redcat listed under it and telling them they need to change it because you believe it should be different.

[@rcdriver]

PhilthyCo RC Wow, I respected your opinion and explained to you my position as someone who has 36 years of experience in the hobby and 25 years employed in the media side and then you go throw politics into it? Sad.

[@DoctorEvilHands]

Redcat Racing is a second rate R/C company. ALL of their vehicles are weird looking and build quality is subpar. The Gen 8 scout is their best vehicle and a first step in the right direction. In my opinion Redcat Racing should scrap their entire R/C line starting from Gen 7 on back and start all over. The Gen 8 is decent and probably is the vehicle that is keeping the company relevant right now. As long as Redcat Racing has been in business they should have been leveled up so that they can compete with the big boys like Traxxas . I beleive Redcat Racing can do better but the question is, will they before their time runs out.
