👍👍 yeah just got done watching 2FMRC i’ve got plenty of those FMS radios digging on the monster truck appreciate the video. I’m here watching 6:35 PM Tuesday, November 5 really love. It’s an old-school Chevy body.
Interesting when Redcat introduced it they said the top speed was 8mph probably not a big difference but it gets old when RC companies overstate it's performance being the maker they should know exactly how it performs.
I love the speed on the Smasher... for such a small vehicle it "feels" really fast. If I want to blast it, I'll just run my MJX Hyper Go 16209 which goes like 40mph on 3S.
Hello RC review, I am new to RC, total Newbie. Your channel is detailed and insightfulI but I need help to start. especially parts. I ordered 6ch remote controller with transmitter, receiver binding and the power input to setup servos. I think I made mistakes on Lipo batteries as all the connectors are different. I am reaching out to you as you know your RCing... my name is Tom oh btw I'm building an RC Boat with all the bells and whistles... FPV, GPS and other sportsman's Tools. I am physically challenged and this RC Boat I'm building will meet a fun outdoors dream. might you assist with standard direction on my setup? Please.
Man I want to like it but for that kind of money I just feel like i can do so much better. Redcat has been knocking it out of the park this year so maybe I am wrong. Either way I cant wait to see what you will do with these little trucks! Great video sir!
My local shop is 90 minutes away. Many of us are the same. Even if it was next door I wouldn't buy from there. They push Traxxass crazy hard. Every question you ask is answered with a Traxxas solution. I asked for a V 2.5 Kraton and was told "you don't want a Kraton. You need a Maxx" by an employee there. Their Traxxass products outnumber Horizon 5 to 1 and they mainly carry the 3s Arrma line in stock. When I was a blind Traxxass fanboy that was fine. Once the $399 Fireteam sale showed me the light it became infuriating. I'll order parts online even if I plan on driving by the shop before the parts would be delivered. Rarely do I wait more than a couple days for parts for for any brand I own. Redcat has been doing great. I have driven my Xmaxx once since the Vigilante was released. This little truck doesn't excite me. If it was 5th scale I'd order at least 2 the instant possible.

Back watching again I got the red one on the way. I am stoked about getting this monster truck.👍👍
Saw this on Facebook a while ago and everyone was slamming on it. Came here, saw RC Driver's video and yours, and now I want one. Or three
It’s not for everyone, for sure
The Aarma guys post negative stuff on anything not Aarma
@Paul-wz1tm fanboys. Ftw
This is exponentially better than the Traxxas 18mt. From a monster truck standpoint

The old school Chevy looks great!. For sure!
Thank you for the link for those 3S batteries just ordered two of them👍👍
Thanks for the video and links 👍🏻. That looks like a fun little truck
I agree, its fun and a great way to get started!l Any kid will be happy.
Very nice mini monster truck. Thanks for sharing it with such great detail. 👍
With speed upgrade is more like Monster Truck. Nice mod 👍
Indeed it is! Wayy better

Awesome. Thank you
Great tips as always.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Reminds me of the Venom Mini Giant monster truck back in the early 2000s.
The Mofo Big Block would bring that truck to life!
PN Racing makes some really good rebuildable 180s

It is a great little truck to get started with. and that Smasher is on sale now
Curious, switching to the FMS radio would you still be able to have the rear steering?
Does the battery you link in description fit without modification?
When are you doing the brushless upgrade video
What brushless setup can we put in it
Rear steer awesome
Yeah , that would add some fun factor
Needs to be a 1/8 scale....😢
True story

They're fun and I want to push them to the limit. Yeah, this one is not a compelling value especially since the Ascent 18 first came out at $99
@RCReviewChannel yeah that price just gets me lol especially with those electronics but I am sure you will spice it up!
Does it have lock diffs if so I'll pass
No, they are open diffs.
I’ll pass
May as well buy FMS and spend that 20 savings on upgrades. There are plenty
That’s a good option, especially with the sale at $99
Should of made it brushless
Needs to be Cheaper
I would agree
They should have made it 1/10
Nah
inneresting...
We have an MT10 already lol. Hu?
@@Lord_Pistachio_Nut 2 different trucks lol
I was thinking 1/5 scale would be prefect. Something to slot between the LMT and Raminator.
Way way overpriced
😂 NOT a crawler. Open diffs
Will never buy redcat due to the fact my lhs only has 3 pegs of redcat parts on the 30 foot parts wall.
I just bought a Ascent 18 , it's awesome
Local shop support is important.

Not enough Power?! We can fix that💉🧫🧪🔬
