Darin, I sure hope you put something bigger than an .18 in your 1/8 Aftershock.....please tell me it's gonna be at least the SH .21.

RedcatRacing

We will offer it with both .18 and .21. The .18 with 2-speeds are arriving first.

other than width (because of the tires), and like ground clearance should b the same

The also have a viper x2s 1/10 truck built on the same chassis. [link=http://www.himotoracing.com/product/truck/gas/truck_g013/details.php]Link[/link] Are they and redcat changing all the chassis to this new style? Its kinda cool I'm liking the sway bar. Theres also a [link=http://www.himotoracing.com/product/buggy/gas/buggy_g015/details.php]buggy[/link] on that chassis

drum_n_man

might be the same color but other than that i'm sure they are different. first those are 1/10 scale and the new truck is 1/8.

leemunger

I know the scales are different so is the chassis. But the chassis on the Redcat Aftershock will be the same as the HSP truggy you posted above both 1/8. The Redcat Vortex 1/10 will have the same basic chassis as the buggy and truck I posted before.

drum_n_man

bout how long till you have parts for the new trucks? guess what my landslide is gonna be

pede_187

Those are very very different. FYI, they are not HSP

RedcatRacing

Here is the 1/10 Vortex SS.

http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/...o-Desert-Truck

The Vortex shares 90% of the same parts as the Tornado BB.
The Aftershock shares 80% of the same parts as the Sandstorm. The Aftershock will be using a 2 speed transmission like the landslide where the Sandstorm LT was single speed.

So to make changes to an existing vehicle you would simply need front and rear bumbers and mounts, body posts and body and wheels. That should do it.

It would be nice if you would offer it with the SH .18 option.

My Feedback: (2)

Or better yet, are yall gonna offer any of your vehicles as a roller?

RedcatRacing

We will offer it with SH engine in about 90 days.

We will have Rampage Rollers in about 60 days but no plans for 1/10 or 1/8 rollers.

I never said they were HSP. Why would say they are HSP and link Himoto, strange. I said they in general reference to the link. The only difference between all these are the paint and graphics on the body. The bodies are the same and components are compatible with each other as long as there in the same class and size. Where the difference is, is the customer support and web pages. Personally I choose Redcat because the website was a lot easier than the others navigate at that time. Quality difference as far as I know there the same, just different aesthetically.

Hey everyone I'm a newbie to this place as well as rc cars/trucks.
I'm limited to electric as where I run my boat and truck.
thats all thats allowed so my thought was if you're going eletric go brushless.
I purchased the Vortex Epx Pro 1:10 brushless desert truck.
Does anyone have any input on this truck or is it to new.

robriley

ahhh man !!!
now you guys have me wanting to buy one of these !!!
the problem is..i just don't have the cash for one at the moment.
this truck looks like it could be alot of fun for stadium type racing.

chevyderek72

Well its new, but its basically the buggy, with truck body mounts, and different bumpers. So it would be the same as the buggy. My gf's dad has the buggy and i have the truck, i love it, i wish it was faster (thats why im goin brushless soon) but its a blast. Im actually gonna either sell my truck and buy the vortex epx, or if i cant sell it just convert it.

mini 14

So until parts and extras come out for the Vortex I can use Tornado parts?
and I might as well ask a stupid question now I know that BL stands for brushless but what does BB mean.

chevyderek72

Well most parts are interchangeable. Like to convert my truck to the vortex i need wheels, body and bumpers. Or to convert to the tornado i need wheels, shock towers, body mounts, body, wing mount, wing and bumpers. So as you can see pretty much all parts are the same. The only thing you wouldnt be able to get off the buggy would your body mounts, bumpers, and body i think. If you break something or your gonna pick up some parts just post on the forum and see if they will fit if your not sure.

robriley

BL = brushless for electric.
BB = big block for nitro.

chevyderek72

I didnt even see you asked that. But the only stupid question is the one thats not asked.
