I've gotta say I've had some pains with Redcat, but I'm also new to this. Once I got my truck tuned and put a decent clutch in it I've had tons of fun. Only other issue is the RX switch rusted through, but some crazy operator may have taken the thing through lots of melted snow and mud!! For the price I like the machine and have fun with it! It would be nice if Redcat would make small parts more available without the huge shipping fees if you don't need to order $100 or more worth of stuff.
