Hello
New to the forum and I'm not new to R/C cars but just got my first 1/5 scale gasser, a Red Cat Chimera, I like the looks of it and the price was a good starting point even though I know it will need some upgrades right away and a few more shortly after.
But I'm hoping someone can answer a question because I have a problem already (a big one actually), I need to know if this will be covered under a warranty or if I have to fix it myself. I sent an email to Red Cat and thought I'd ask here while I wait for them.
I didn't even start the engine yet, just got it on Friday the 6th, and the first thing I wanted to do was install a Super Bee kill switch. Well after trying for some time with a pair of needle nose pliers, I couldn't get the wire on the ignition coil that's toward the cylinder, so the next easiest way to me was to loosen or remove the coil from the motor. Well the top bolt broke, I'm guessing it was over tighten at the factory and I finished it off because it wasn't hard to break and the bottom one seemed to take about the same amount of force to come out.
So does anyone know if there's a good chance Red Cat will help, or am I on my own?
Thanks
John
