rallye car ???

[blak__jak]

Anyone own one of these? If so what do you think of it? Are they 2wd or 4wd? Who really makes them? They look alot like the cats but can't seem to find out a lot about them. Thanks for any help.

Redcat sold that version a few years ago, but the interest was low, so they stopped. HSP makes them for NitroRCX, which is notoriously bad at customer service.

does redcat still carry the parts? Poor customer service will get my first buy, but Id need someone else to provide parts.

Joe are you thinking that they are the same as the redcats that the cat parts will interchange.

I know their other buggy they sell is what used to be called the TT from redcat... basically an MT with Dunerunner rears all around and a wing.

Redcat no longer carries the specific Rally parts. Some of them will be similar to the other platforms.

The TT went away. Not much interest with the Dune Runner and XB.

That was a Redcat at one time so many of the parts are interchangeable.

When you say poor customer service do you mean no service after the sale or shipping taking forever on your buy or what? Is there anyone other than them that carries the car. I'd really like to hear from someone who has had one to see what they thought of the kit. thanks again.

Dunno if he still carries them, but...

1/5 Gas Pro Rally Car 28cc 2.4GHz

EDIT: Didn't notice it was already linked. My bad!

I just got one. It will be here next Friday. Is gas now but soon to be brushless will let you know what I think once I get it. And parts I found some on the great vendors to the left.

Nice I look forward to your build!

 

[bigblkblazin]

a brushless rally will be fun . I did one last year . The problem i had was with the weak drive shafts, be sure to stock up . The 2028 I was using kept shattering them . I think that problem would have been solved with a center diff .

 

[tsudo5th]

Is the 2028 a 5th or 8th scale motor? I am using an 8th with low kv.

 

[krashkrieg]

The 1/8 motor may not be enough, I believe the Rally still weighs in at over 18lbs.

 

[Deluge]

It'll be under powered with an 8th scale motor.

 

[tsudo5th]

Well if it is too small just have to get bigger.

 

[Deluge]

You definitely have a few options. There are some huge motors out there.
