    Even for redcat detractors its hard to argue with
    Lcg chassis
    Decent servo
    Metal links
    Bearings
    Alternate gears
    Workable radio
    Half decent tires
    Decent shocks (in dire need of tuning)
    Decent axles
    For $299.
    I started with a gen 7, if i was starting over I'd get this.

    Thanks so much for the vid. With the Element Gatekeeper or Utron hitting the same pricepoint but not being a comp crawler style, would you expect this to blow them out of the water? I think redcat has been firing on all cylinders lately from the lowriders, to the machete, to the COE truck and these comp style crawlers! Kudos to them honestly because these projects I'm sure started like 2-3 years in the making meaning they made all the right moves to make it happen at the right times too! I hope they gain some aftermarket support for these, they deserve it!! Thanks Francis for the continued A+ Content!

    Redcat has a ways to go before they compete with the likes of Axial, Vanquish and Traxxas. Still, a solid performer out of the box and it has tons of potential. A Fusion SE and good tires/wheels being first on the list! Redcat is really making some headway! 👍

    Thanks my friend. Thumbs up for your job.

  • @slip_fitter
    @slip_fitter 9 месяцев назад +9

    Even though this is a LCG, I think it will work well with the hard bodies with interiors (like the Injora bodies). That low transfer case will really make fitting hard bodies low enough to look good. I plan on getting one just for that reason.

  • @GrimSpeedFPV
    @GrimSpeedFPV 9 месяцев назад +1

    Very smart move from Redcat! We need lcg rtr crawler cause not everyone wants to build. My only jab at it is they should make a inexpensive straight axle conversion 💯 Thank you for reviewing this awesome vehicle!!
