    Nice! Really like the Fusion RTR. Hope other companies are paying attention to that.
    That new slab will be great for scrubbing in new crawler tires, just like you were doing.😁

    Man I was hoping other companies would answer the call once Vanquish put out the Stance. And Redcat was first one. 👏🏻 nice job on this one Redcat!!!!! Absolutely love the colors, half cab, Fusion SE, plastic bead locks, good servo, tires, and brass….ALL out of box bone stock! I’m telling you guys….RTRs like this is what the hobby needs in order to bring in those that want to try one out. Once them get this sucker and the addiction takes hold the sky and their budget is the limit 😆

    Kudos to Redcat, they did something that almost none of the major manufacturers does - listen to their customers! Price, performance, upgrades (carbon lcg frame, Fusion SE, brass, beadlocks, etc), Redcat nailed it, straight out of the box. I still think they should eliminate the internal springs but that's easy enough to remedy. And I'd like to see an angled skid, to improve breakover on technical climbs (doesn't have it from what I can see - maybe to adhere to Class 1 rules?). The gears in the gearbox are still plastic and I'd like to see them upgraded to metal (especially with brushless) but at least the portal gears are metal and the spools are machined. Overall, though, home run for Redcat. 👍

    They must've realized most people buy aftermarket from third parties anyway, so they aren't losing out by just making it awesome out the box. Hopefully the others catch on to this but so far the last three trucks I've looked at getting have all been Redcats. The fact they even include the different gears for overdrive is next level. Just sensational.

  • @bouncingnoise

    Nice upgrades, nice job from Redcat, but it looks like it’s still an Ascent…too much throttle needed on some obstacles, because performance wasn’t there. I’d still go for the Stance!

    If you do a lot of trail walking with your rig between crawl spots, is it bad to run 25% overdrive in risk of overheating the drive train? Even if it's all dirt? I like to go hiking in the woods and drive my Capra along with me and if I see a good crawl area I'll stop to play. I just don't want to burn anything up. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated. 👍👍

    • @EPR1994
      @EPR1994 3 місяці тому +2

      I have 15% overdrive on my Gen8 and do trails beating on it on 4s, I’m talking about 3-4hrs of trails with tons of wide open throttle action and have never had any issue. I run a Mamba X with a 2850kv motor.

      There’s got to be a compromise somewhere. It’s tenth scale, it’s brushless and it’s rtr. No other companies are even close to offering that. Me personally find it ugly as sin 😂 tire foams are subjective to change for any given person
