Great news PhatDad. It's funny because I haven't even ran the buggy yet and already it is a pogo stick. I dropped the buggy from about a foot off the ground to see how the suspension reacts.... well it didn't react at all as the c-clip broke on 2 shocks.


EDIT:


One thing I forgot to add, and not sure if it has been mentioned or not. The shocks have silicone oil in them vs. "fork oil" from the factory. After noticing how smooth the shocks were for the little bit of time they were together I'm going to be replacing the fork oil in my baja shocks with silicone oil, noticeably a big difference....

I never trust the oil the Chinese use. Always replace your shock oil.


The C-clip issue will be resolved in late July when that shipment arrives. The early July shipment will still be using the same c-clips as the ones that have already been sent out.


Its an easy fix though, but I have addressed the problem with the factory and they will be using better ones.


Glad to see some guys that know their stuff are getting them already, post some video, tell us whats wrong and what needs to be worked on or what's good.


The faster we get the info, the faster the factory can make the small changes needed.


Thanks

Glad to hear the problem is being addressed before the next shipment of buggies/trucks. :) Nice to see RedCat is striving to make improvements were needed.


Will the issues found on the first shipment be addressed to those of us who have them?


I will gladly get video etc of the buggy. Just can't get over how LARGE this buggy is, even compared to the baja.
