Man that sucks bummer to hear!!!!!!!!! QUESTION any of you guys out there got losis or hpi 2 or 3 times as much money up front are they better, worse or about the same?

I've put more money into my MT, than my 5T. And I don't really upgrade unless it's necessary. So I'd say the Baja is a bit more durable out of the box.

 

[dave pettigrew]

the baja is ten times the machine redcat ever will be, i run mine all the time, the redcat cant even get a tank in with out a failure. im currently rebuilding my rampage with many mods we will see if hold up but i got my doubts. id never buy another redcat , just get a baja . id buy a severy used baja before id buy another redcat it will be more reliable

 

[dave pettigrew]

lets do the math on the redcat purchase 540.00, pipe breaks 190.00. servos die 90.00 and 40.00tire foams give out in a few tanks hpi adapters and tires 200.00. bottle of loctite 10.00 air filter is garbage another 40.00. carb is also junk 55.00. wheelbearings so another 150.00 in aluminum and bearings so thats a grand total of $1115 plus shipping on all these parts . this isnt counting upgrading the gears . this is why everyone i know thinks redcat is junk and i have found out for myself - JUNK

 

[metal finisher]

that could be but i love my redcats so what you are saying you don't need lock tight on the hpi i think not! so knock 10 bucks lol

 

[dave pettigrew]

the hpi consistes of quality hardware unlike the redcat. im suprised the body isnsnt held on with a grub screw lol. oh yeah i forgot everybearing on the car plus $60 so $1175 into a pos you couldnt give away on craigslist for$250 lol

 

[dave pettigrew]

oh yeah forgot the radio lol another $129.00 plus a killerbee $60 lol still love em lol

 

[metal finisher]

no killer bee needed on hpi sweet!

 

[metal finisher]

oops battery died there goes my hpi right into a tree damn now i gota buy a chassis and many other parts plus shipping o well thats why i love this hobby

 

[metal finisher]

now if hpi would step it up and make a 4x4 i would think about it

 

[Deluge]

I think the Losi has pretty much filled the void that HPI didn't address. Now it looks like AE is getting into the 5th scale scene, so that should be interesting. Either way, HPI is late to the 4x4 party.

For Sure..LOL

All the haters in world couldn't change my mind. I love every one of my cats. I also love every platform I've ever bought. I am lucky enough to say I have not had as many issues as some. Maybe because I spend as much time upgrading as driving.

Upgrading is necessary for any platform. The harder you drive it & the more power you throw into it, the more it will need to be upgraded.
