Cool to see you still running this after quite some time, I feel like it was a year ago or something when I first saw you show this truck. Too many RUclipsrs show a truck, or whatever product, and then you never see it on their channel again. Serious props to you 👊🏽
Was in my LHS yesterday. EVERY time I go in, there's 1 on the shelf at the door. Every time the owner asks 'today the day'? IF I could use my (hi $$) plane 6s batteries, I'd have it already.
Awesome rig! Sounds like a bearing squeaking somewhere, like my xmaxx lol. Also just curious did you use Fop or dapper Dan? Personally I'm a dapper Dan man lol
I like how this truck stays planted, handles and be able to turn on power. Very controllable unlike most trucks that just tends to wheelie. Which Arrma, Corally or Traxxas 6s would you say drives the closest to this in your experience? The Big Rock 6s maybe? Redcat is not in the UK so I’m looking for something that drives similar to this from the main brands. Thanks
Look up Tomley Rc from about a month ago. Video labeled "does belted tires increase speed". He's in the UK and it's a rebranded machete that is probably available in the UK. Check it out if you're interested in this truck.
You know what, I literally just came across that Tomley video a day ago, and you are right, it’s tha Machete and like the upgrades Tomley did on it. Thanks so much for pointing it out, appreciate it. My local hobby shop has also told me about another car that has a similar drive style. It’s the HPI Vorza S. slightly smaller but sits low, planted but does 60mph out the box going for around £450.
I've seen in a previous video you did a speed run with the machete. Will you turn your throttle up to a 120% and let us know how much a performance or speed increase that gives you? I've been told that this does not increase performance. I have 2 flysky's hooked to 6 different vehicles, they all go faster when turned up. Seems very noticeable to me on my crawlers. YOUR OPINION PLEASE? Machete 6S with 18 tooth, one million in the center, will wheelie at 120, not so much at 100. Stiffen the shocks with a couple zip ties you get a lot more Steering control Or front tire bite and the machete is a drift machine. prob not the best track set up but a lot of fun on wet pavement.
If the ESC is calibrated properly then turning ch2 up to 120 will not do anything. If the esc is not calibrated, then yeah I may give a bit more, this one is calibrated like it should be

That's awesome you showed the RC family,how awesome this truck really is ,the truck is fun and for the price awesome.
Not had any problems with my machete. Well worth the money in my opinion. Would still buy it all over again if given choice.
RedCat is absolutely killing I love it I have everything from them and I’m very impressed
We have a guy in our group who got a Machete a few weeks ago, absolutely ridiculous how well it performs stock, exponentially superior to the Talion.
Just order this cant wait many good things and its a sick looking truggy good speed and balance
NIIIIICE 👌 She rips 🔥
I love my machete. I went up to a 19t pinion and the esc or motor started overheating. Put a max 8 in it, now that thing rips!
Dude I love mine.. Such a great rig and such a great price!
Yeah it is!
Got mine with the defective arms, broke upper front armon first run. They sent me the replacement arms, put backflips on it. Love it.
this is a Beast. very impressive
Screw it, this is my next RC. I’ve been eyeing it since release
Just said the same thing
That's wicked, great vid!
Very nice 👍🏼
👍😁 I 'need' 1 of these!

@@old-rcplane-phart😂 I hear ya. I feel the same way about the traxxas raptor.
Doesn’t surprise me that it’s very stable it’s like a Kraton XL or a traxxas jackhammer
Kinda reminds me of that MT8E-BE6S redcat
Awesome rig! Sounds like a bearing squeaking somewhere, like my xmaxx lol. Also just curious did you use Fop or dapper Dan? Personally I'm a dapper Dan man lol
Did you see that back left tire jumping all around in the air?
Hey 👋 good morning exo joe
I’m sold on this one got to get it and soon
with the maxx slash coming out today ,it will be cool to compare them .

@@emilepieters1189 HPI is also very nice
Havnt seen a Redcat in a minute nice. Look at the flex in the linkage and everything in the slowmo it didnt break?
@exocaged RC, What transponder is used at your track?
Mylaps and MRT
With your current set up what's the top speed?
no idea, the motor and esc is stock
Have you had the pinion gear slip while running? My machete 6s seems to do that.
Update, I also fried the stock esc.
Can this car take 8s power
OK a few of those bad landings in slow mo Why didn't that break ??? That thing is TUFF !!!!!!!!!!
