Would the XB be better as a roller?

[bbuzzard]

I am looking at the costs saved with the HY motor, servos and the TX/RX and if the line would benefit better if Redcat could sell them without the parts they don't have a control over in regards to QC...

BTW, I like the XB a lot..just looking at viable options to buy another one without wasting time on typical RTR issues...

I think you missed a selection of "RTR, nothing needs to change".

 

[bbuzzard]

No doubt...I forgot about that...if you would like to add that as a comment in the thread, go for it! Thanks!

You forgot the line about "Redcat tried that and won't do it again"

 

[bbuzzard]

So now change is a bad thing?

 

[RampageHopUps]

Its just not worth it. Only a few guys have the immediate need to change engines, most want a RTR to get started.

The expense of a new engine would keep me from buying one. The radios are inexpensive to make now, good jumping off point with them coming rtr. Engine can be upgraded with a headkit for cheap. You get more people with a rtr. If they had some Deluxe edition that was blinged out for racing, then yeah, I'd leave out the radio and maybe the engine. But for a beginner rtr, leave it all in.
