Do you think running 25% over drive while doing a lot of trail walking is bad for the drive train? I'm told I shouldn't because I'll overheat the internals.🤷‍♂️ I'm in New England, western mass.

[@NewEnglandRcEnthusiasts]

Too much overdrive puts strain on the drive train in the woods when you have too much of it, which can cause the motor to work harder and overheat. 25% I don't think is too bad, I have a vrd with 27% that I've ran and it was perfectly fine

I'm in western MA. Myself!! Great crawling out here. I know a few people who run upwards of 25 and 30 and they haven't had an issue

[@tranceromance]

Yes, the stock tires are basically Redcat's (better version) of the Maxxis Trepador. I was like....OKAY Redcat!! We see you out here! I'm about to mount those on some treal beadlocks. I swapped out for Mickey Thompson Baja Claws ❤

I am one of those guys that wants to see how it does on the trails not just the rocks!!! Thank you so much! This is the exact review I've been looking for before buying! Wanted to make sure it was fast enough to walk with

[@stephenstack3292]

Same!

[@MrSmith223]

I’d say it’s not a great trail rig, at least not for long hikes. I have the ascent and I use my Pheonix on the trail.

[@CornholioMcGeeRC]

Yeah man I put those stock tires on some heavy treal beadlocks with some decent foams and (at least on the rocks I drive on) they aren’t to bad!

[@NewEnglandRcEnthusiasts]

Glad to hear! I put mine on Tanks last night vented with some injora inserts so we will see how they do

[@johnoneill5788]

Did the bed drop in, or was some modifying needed?

[@ParkerRC]

did you have to go though yours and lock tight anything?

[@jeanlima3287]

Can you send the website link

[@pavelack]

love the donkeykong tracks

[@THESERGEANTJRC]

Very nicely set up!! Great video!! New Sub!!

[@AcrossTownRC]

Pretty excited to see how this holds up and see if any of the competition will put something out that’s similar

[@NewEnglandRcEnthusiasts]

It's a great truck foe the price! So far it's been holding up great. I added a bunch more stuff to it to help it out so we will see Sunday how it handles now

Man looks sick with RP bed and red Beadlocks. Having fusion in there makes it simple. Worth the redcat I just worry about metal quality in axles or trans…but for this things price point who cares lol! I’m in Maine check me out sometime’ Leaves and pine needles are a constant cleaning process on my trail at my house like where you got the battery I’ve gon. Ack and forth over time between from and on slider if it’s a super small battery I tend to go slider but love my sporty with battery and esc receiver on axle

[@cesardduarte]

Que buen carro tienes, te felicito, seria bueno tener este carro para offroad? Y que llantas le pusiste , me gustaría saber con cuales va mejor en el bosque. Gracias

[@dirtrider88]

2:11 wait wait wait, it gomes 60/40 stock and you moved the battery like 6 inches to the front and you only gained 1 percent of weight bias.

[@trentgalloway]

That's what I thought as well.😮

[@NewEnglandRcEnthusiasts]

According to my scales yes. I'm only running a 1500mah shorty. It's not a heavy battery

[@outspokenRC]

I am going to assume that it’s because of the bed you put on it unless you weighed it without the bed first .. then I would say that your scales may be a little off

[@jrfishes]

Good looking truck, even seems like the stock servo does a decent enough job. Another thing making this a good value is the brass portal covers! P.S. leaves and pine needles suck! 🤣

[@fuceye]

A lot of problems for the money…
