RE: What do YOU want for your Redcat Racing RC car?
I would personally like to see better prices on the aluminum parts that are currently offered for the tornado/syclone's i mean $39.99 is a bit steep for 2 1/10th scale arms. My main concern is the clutch and the radio system, a little better radio being shipped in the rtr's

RE: The New Redcats
I've seen one of the 1/16 nitro buggys run, I think they were made by a company named Acme, they look like a ton of fun. I have a mini lst with some aluminum hop ups, it is a lot of fun but when your battery runs down you are out of commission till the next pack comes off the quickcharger.I have 5 batteries for the mini lst and get about 15 min max run time depending on what I am doing. The nice thing about the mini lst is you can run it in the house and chase your cats around and or dogs. The 1/16 nitro would be great outside and a .05 would be plenty of power for something that size, the video I found of the buggy run was extremely quick.

Stalls after hitting Second Gear?
Hello, Anybody know where i can start to look to fix this issue, yesterday running my tornado xp everything seemed fine till the car hit second gear, once the car hit second gear a big puff of smoke comes out and the buggy stalls. I tried leaning it up but it still cut out when it hit second. Nothing seems to be binding in the tranny but I guess the only way I can be sure is to take apart the tranny. Otherwise the buggy is running great, well till I broke the #1 rule and let a friend drive it full speed into a curb, oh well I learned my lesson on that one. Any Suggestions? Thanks!

RE: "OFFICIAL" Himoto / Redcat Racing 1/10th BUGGY
I too am new to the whole world of nitro RC, but for the money I spent on this buggy, $169 it cant be beat for a [b]starter[/b] car. The buggy started up on the 4th pull and after a few min of tuning ran like a champ during its breakin period. I cannot complain about this buggy at all. People need to set their expectations low and realize that these vehicles are great starters into the hobby. There are 2 things wrong with the buggy, the front a-arm broke because [u][b]I[/b][/u] smacked into a concrete patio pad (anything plastic running into concrete will break and it is not redcats fault that I was a tard and smacked into it), and the throttle trim stopped working but a quick call to redcat racing resulted in them sending me a new controller asap for free. I have since ordered replacement parts for my buggy and have started looking into bigger and badder nitro rc vehicles. My friend has a Thunder Tiger SSK which he paid $300 for and every time we run it something breaks. If you are into doing huge jumps and running over boulders these vehicles are not right for you, if you would like to get into the hobby for minimal $ this is the way to go.
