Absolutely! $300.00 is a great deal!

And now it's $239

[@chaoticadventure]

I picked up one of each for $240 each with free shipping. Absolutely unbelievable deal.

Sure does take a beating great truck for the money 🤘✌️

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Agreed!! 💯

[@TroysHobbiesRC]

Hey guys! Just FYI these new Red cat trucks share a lot of parts ( chassis, drivetrain, steering and suspension) with the WOV Racing vehicles. Check the shock rod end to see if it's actually threaded. The WOV cars had a defect with them being press fit instead of threads, causing them to pull apart. Also, pay attention to the inner piston. It can break causing suspension sag.

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Will do. Thanks for the tip!

[@philthyco1]

@@TroysHobbiesRC The shock shaft snapped it didn't pull out

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

They do look to be treaded. Mine broke right at the first thread.

I’m so impressed with redcat absolutely a little ripper my 24 top pick

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

It's a great little truck! I've been waiting for more drive shafts. I'm itching to rip it again this weekend.🤘

[@danweiss1371]

Good to see you doing a review. Glad to see they did away with the metal turnbuckle in the upper arms. Hope to see you soon!!! It’s cool it’s crazy fast. But for this Old Man stick to my slow moving crawlers. I would just smash something that fast. But I like it.

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Thanks Dan. Good to hear from you. Yeah I'm still okay with the fast ones. I still like to race, it's pretty fun. It was very cool to have an RC in my hands before release day. 😎

[@danweiss1371]

@@Mr.DarkWoods yeah I was shocked that you had one when I seen the reviews out by the other guys, but I have you know I chose to watch yours first. When I said the message out I didn’t realize it was only 300 bucks go red cat I think that is gonna be a popular truck.

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

@@danweiss1371 I believe you are correct. I really liked it!

Nice truck!

Thanks 👍

[@RickyD1968]

Awesome Truck but can you say GYRO !!!!!! watched another channel clock it at 59 MPH stock crazy fast !!!!!!

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

I saw that too! It was hard to control at high speeds. Gyro would be great.

[@jaynells4313]

Wow impressive it took a lot before the break👍

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Agreed! It was kind of a weird break too. It will be fixed soon and take some more. 🤘

Hey just subbed!! Great video

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Thank you! 🤘🤛🙏

NIIIICE 👌

[@NPCRC]

I think the shock broke on the 2nd to last jump. that hard hit into the hill! Looks impressive though! Haven't ran ours yet but hearing its faster then I was thinking and glad to know people are beating it up with little issue!

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Yes, I agree. After watching the video it was definitely on the hard landing at the top of the hill. A set of new shocks is around $12. Got some coming. The parts I have wouldn't work sadly.

[@NPCRC]

@@Mr.DarkWoods Looks like Kaiju shocks may be an option too. Haven't confirmed yet but those and the aluminum caps would be a good solution. Haven't broke one of them yet and I send the Kaiju!

[@philthyco1]

@@NPCRC I agree

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

@@NPCRC that's a great idea! I just happen to have a Kaiju sitting on the shelf. It could work to get it back running.

The Wov Racing shock curse

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

From the looks of it they are threaded at the bottom. Broke right on the first thread.

[@NBC_NCO]

I wish manufacturer's would match the wheel base to the actual wheel base of the truck or vs versus.

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

sure looks lik the wov racing to me looks like it still has the press fit shock end's

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

I will find out soon.

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

@@peterGriffin-ug7jv they look to be threaded to me. Mine broke right at the first thread. Got it fixed up and ready for more over the weekend!

[@cletuskasady5894]

Did yours come with the extra shocks?

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

Yes! The original shocks were not the right design.

[@Bonurges]

Just to confirm, are y’all saying that the truck comes with a replacement set of shocks with an updated design?

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

@Bonurges yes! If they don't come separately in the box, they have already been replaced on the truck.

[@peteralbury7724]

Did you say that they have the same length arms ?

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

I believe they are different fron to rear but I like the new design.

Nice, but c’mon Redcat it’s 2024 why are new releases still using body clips 😂

[@Mr.DarkWoods]

🤣😅 At leat they are reinforced!

[@knowair6767]

Cuz they're cheap, and work. Unlike the crappy TRX clipless BS. Great when new, worthless after a dozen bashes. Just my take.

[@raquelsroom]

​@@Truth_Spoken because big T company owns the patent for clipless bodies and redcat would have to pay additional costs to use it. We all know that big T rc company likes suing

The clip less bodies end up flying off from time to time anyway. Body clips at least your lid stays on the whole time.

[@knowair6767]

@@raquelsroom I agree about TRX, they LOVE to sue, but I'm not sure they have a patent on clipless bodies, Arrma is using a partial rendition on the BR 6s.. oops, sorry Arrma, the cat's out of the bag now.. LOL.🤫

Of course it’s going to brake it’s a cheaper car

It's extremely tough and for the price point you can't lose.

[@dannysdailys]

Not impressed with all the plastic. It might at well be a Volcano 16. Very low KV motor and not a very high speed for 4s because of it. And they're all blowing shocks, proving they are indeed Redcats. Sorry, but I'll take the Hosim X07 any day, on 3s and a gyro, it's just a blur.
