For 400 bucks you can get a ofna hyper 8.5 and never look back. Redcat is okay but if you want something that is built well and will run right get a name brand product like traxxas, or hpi ,losi , ofna something you can go to your local hobby shop and buy it and all of the parts. And they will be more then willing to help you. Because redcat and all of the other enternet cars you can get support only on here and few places so save your money and buy your self some thing good. Redcat is okay but??????? Check out some of the other brands forums on here and take a look around and see what else is out there. You don't have to buy just redcat only.
