Status: offline 		This Post is for anyone who owns a Himoto or Redcat Racing BUGGY (preferbly 1/10th scale). They are the same models just different names.

The smartech cars have their own thread have proven to be a very cheap and good car. (servos are not good but no RTR is perfect)

I know many people tell you to "get yourself a real hobby grade RC", but they don't understand that these cars make it easy to get into and not fear ripping these things apart and learning on them. I would not so quickly have torn into mine if I got a $500+ vehicle, and would not have driven it as hard (aka, had as much fun tearing the hell out of).

So Please post your questions, experiences and suggestions/tweaks on this thread so that others can learn or make an educated decision on if this car is a possibility for them.

For those reading this - if you see posts that say "had one - it broke and was a piece of..." just know you can go on any thread for any brand car and see people saying the same things - so take it all with a grain of salt.

NOTE: THERE WAS ANOTHER THREAD THAT WAS STARTED ORIGINALLY FOR BUGGIES, AND GOT TAKEN OVER BY BAD REPORTS OF THE TRUCKS. THE TRUCKS SEEM TO NOT PREFORM WELL BUT THE BUGGIES SEEM TO BE HOLDING UP TO REVIEWS SO FAR.

IF YOU WANT TO POST ABOUT THE TRUCKS PLEASE FOLLOW THIS THREAD. Trucks thread IF YOU SEE SOMEONE POST ABOUT THE TRUCK PLEASE POST THEM TO THE TRUCK THREAD. HOPEFULLY WE CAN SHARE SOME GOOD INFO.

Status: offline 		Currently aluminum parts are only available for our 1/8 scale buggies.

We do expect to have aluminum parts available on the 1/10 cars within 90 days.

The aluminum parts for the 1/8 cars are available at www.redcatracing.com simply click on one of the 1/8 cars and then click on the parts link.

Status: offline 		We are looking for writers of technical info sheets, beginner help for the Redcat Racing product line.

As many of you have read in other posts, Redcat Racing is fairly new in the RC Nitro biz but have had great success with Redcat Motors which is a large ATV importer in the US with over 600 dealers nationwide and sales of over 50,000 ATV's in the last 2 years.

I have always been an avid Nitro guy and began Redcat Racing about 6 months ago.

If anyone is interested in creating these types of information sheets, please email sales@redcatracing.com with the subject line being: "Info Sheets"

We would be willing to pay for the info sheets or swap for Redcat Racing product.

So, if you have the ability to use a digital camera, technical and or basic writing skills, please shoot me an email if you are interested.

Darin

It's like every single time the car rolls over, an a-arm eats it.

I haven't bothered to take the rear diff apart to view the carnage. I've just been putting around with my XXTCR in the meantime.

Is this thread suppose to be about the 1/10's or 1/8th's??...the title of the thread is 1/10 but in your first post you stated "preferably 1/8"....which is it?....

I'm starting to get confused with all the different threads now...LOL!

Status: offline 		It says 1/10 th buggy so Im assuming the Tornado XL and XP. Just to let everyone know Im a Red Cat Dealer located in Las Vegas, NV. If yopu are in need of parts you can e-mail or call dannycbrvegas@yahoo.com or 702-336-1542. I sell for less than the Red Cat site. I also have some upgraded parts available. So far we have the Carbon Fiber Front Shock Tower 70-1001 for $18.00 and the Carbon Fiber Upper Plate 70-1002 for $49.99. Both are for the Tornado XL or XP however if anyone has the Volcano STX this is the same upper plate. I am also a Pay Pal Acct. holder so you can pay by credit, debit, or check.

I'm new to R/C and really enjoy the car so far.( Ran my first 5 tanks and ready to do some tune up)
My only complain so far is the lack of information of the Manual and no prime on the gas tank.

Status: offline 		chubbysdad, Thanks for the tip.

What is the purpose of the Throttle Reverse Direction Switch (8) and the Throttle Adjustement Switch(9) on the remote ?

When I tried 8 tonight the car just went full throttle and almost lost it, as for 9 it's seem to move the neutral position and need to adjust the trottle inching all the way for the car not to move.

Make sure if you choose to use those other options you set up the truck first before you take off. It will change the throttle position. You cant just change those buttons and expect the car to be set up perfect..

Hi camshaftprelube (or anyone else).

I agree. I am very disappointed that every twitch or rollover or anything besides a straight run the control arm gets eaten. How did you make one out of aluminum - would love to do that. Advise would be helpful.

Thx.
