I agree wholeheartedly. I cannot help feeling that palpable bias against that Asian truck from the get-go. It had to fail. It was clearly being driven quite carelessly, without MUCH input from the others as the guest driver was getting. Oh well.
I think you were dead on about the wheels and tires. I built up an Ascent when they came out with and upgraded the wheels n tires, carbon frame, cliffhanger half cab, brass steering knuckles, brass hub weights and rings, fusion pro and it almost hangs with my VRD Carbon. Needless to say the last time at Del Breako i carried the Ascent (broke front link 3mm threaded section) back to the car but drove the VRD. I wish they would have gone straight to the fusion model.
Red Cat needed to ditch the fancy screw washers and focus on your own printed insert to add to your RTR. I say that because buy simply offering cheap metal beadlocks and decent tires, printed insert made by Red Cat. Tires already vented from the factory.. 90% of the performance from any rig is literally, weight up front, Inserts and tires. It's so simple. Lol Just charge more.. charge the extra 50$ The metal beadlocks will be Ali Express cheap but who cares. Better stock tire and insert made by the company itself.
I think the Fusion has a really slick look to it. Someone put some love into that design.
Awesome video excellent rigs and crawling
This was more of a test of SKILL, and tires and foam. Definitely NOT a fair way to judge the competency of a crawler by any means. Fun video though
For sure , just having fun with the rigs

Fun video guys! Thanks for sharing!!! 😎
Nates 24 with the cliffhanger looked the part too. Rad rigs. I have all three 👍👍

Why is the fusion so expensive with all it comes with still cant climb 🤦
nah on some grippy granite rocks it can climb crazy angles especially if you mount the battery at the front and some other small mods
