Convert it to 4wd and there's a 5T killer.

 

[noyb98098]

Odd that is says 2WD - 3WD???

 

[ShakerCo]

A typo, like the DDM fleebay auction going for 1925 for a rear dom lol.

looks like a dreaded..."clone" of the redcat set up!!!!

 

[mooman007uk]

No clone, the Chineses factory sells these to different distributers who have different names, redcat is in N.America, Himoto and others rest of the world all made in the same factory.


I believe Rob has already given us a glimpse of these rally cars, the redcat version will have a subaru body style. they are 4wd

 

[noyb98098]

That would be sweet....Body looks cheap though. Also seems you can convert it to 4wd.

 

[mooman007uk]

It's already 4wd, no need to convert

that chassis looks like it would flex more than a flour tortilla, since it is off road why not run the buggy/m chassis.

 

[speedyd]

with a tuner body and on road wheels i think it would be okay, but the big tires and truck body are begging for air time!

 

[Sprint 77]

Put a 4130 chromoly cage on it and run the S$!! out of it.

 

[speedyd]

that would work!

 

[mooman007uk]

Looks like it is the buggy/MT chassis but with the road car suspension and body mounts...the chassis plate looks bent up at the sides and identical to my MT/TT chassis'. It's sold as a rally car so isn't really for running in same terrain as the tt...sweet for gravel roads, drifting and fast smaller jumps though.

So basically, no real competition for the 5t?? That sux..

I think a well prepped TT will beat a 5T hands down, there's a few forum members here that will attest to that, I believe...


The TT stomps 5b's round a track and the 5t not much more than a dressed up 5b

This is from redcatracing.com
It shows the on-road chassis not to be curled up on the sides.

Thats a completely different car. The redcat one is the onroad car... not the rally car from the initial posting.

nope, but it will definatly give the mcd rally a run for its money. it think it will be better mached then the 5t
