    For $100 I was afraid this was gonna be a RC4wd cheap truck. But it turns out (as you pointed out better than everyone else) that it has everything I need. I still have their old Sumo 4x4x4 from way back.

    I really like the chassis and agree that it’s really clean. My only gripe, and this can apply to rc crawlers in general, is, why can’t we get more modern looking bodies? Like, maybe in the style of the new Silverados or Raptors, heck maybe even the baby raptors (Ranger). I get that it’s Redcat and they usually don’t get the license of actual trucks. I’m just saying, I’d really like to see more modern truck bodies on these newer crawlers coming out.

    A no brainer and would buy one for sure to add to my collection. Nice to join my imported and therefore way too expensive 1/10 Ascent.
    Turning out to be not as good as hyped in reviews, making it even more expensive 😅
    However I don’t live in the states. Meaning a lot of stuff can’t be bought over here.
    And if s, prizes generally are about + 33% higher. Importing this one would make it more then double of introduction price…. 😢

    Not impressed with redcats customer service. They had a light set listed incorrectly on there website and of course it did not fit. They would not pay to ship it back. So over 5.00 those clowns lost a good customer. I had already bought two lowriders previously. For me its principle not the money part. Plus as a business owner I can't fathom being that dumb to lose a customer over 5.00 when it was there mistake. So no more redcats for me. FMS baby. They have amazing customer service.
