You know me Eddie can't spell. Lmao. Are you talking to me? With the ? about racing. If so, no I am not just going to beat the sh-t out of it. I just keep shopping around for a new ride. I know I want to go 1/8 with a 2 speed tranny. This looks awesome,http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=43532 but also alot of money. I could afford one if I could stay off the golf courses. LOL

Any input on a new ride, please feel free to express.

hey bro, i was talking to you, if you like the mammoth, just get it, i heard alot of crap about the mutilator but i got it and i love it. People have unfavorable opinions about everything and some more than others about evreything. My motto is if you like it get it, who cares what people have to say about it.

Status: offline 		At first I got introduced to these because I need driving experience, but then I figured they werent durable at all and the reason the parts are and eighth of the price of my mammy parts. But now, I want something to actually enjoy, like taking to a new track and using jsut to get the feel of the track. Or maybe getting some other people to get 1/10ths and make a new class at my track. Has anyone ever taken theirs to a track or anything like that? Oh yea.. post some vids



thanks,
Will

Status: offline 		Thanks Eddie, you are absolutely right about that. I guess it is all about preferences. From Redcat,traxxas,Hpi and losi. They are all made to break. Or they wouldn't be in the business.


see you on the flip side. Fong

Yeah, Redcat and Himoto are the same. They use all of the same parts and everything, I say go where it is the cheapest to buy. Best of luck to ya!




not all of them are...himoto has some totally diff breed...if you wanting to hit the track go with a 1/8th..the price of the buggy/truggy and the parts price isnt to far off the 1/10th and you will prolly get a much more durable rc....but if ya do go with the 1/10th get the single spd...or 3 diff.....dont think you will like 2spd on a track..and if u diff wanna go track racing the rxb-1 and the rxt-1 himotos are ready to rock...I have 2 hurricanes and like them alot but if you wanna race on a ROAR rule track you will need to replace the cane's engine or buy a rtm and put a .21 on it

Status: offline 		they shouldnt delete posts cause this is a community of RCers. But this is a paid forum so i can understand why. Just afraid of a little competition. But if you think about it they are all made by HSP so in a way it is keeping them in buisness talking about all the HSP brands.

Status: online 		I'm going to put this discussion to rest. This forum is the Redcat Support Forum. It is here for Redcat Racing to support their customers and products. Just like any other discussion forum the posted threads need to be on the topic of the forum, which is Redcat. But being a support forum there are also several other guidelines that restrict talking about other brands of vehicles. The reason this thread in particular is allowed is because it's original question is comparing a Redcat and Himoto vehicle. The rules of RCU are very clear about keeping threads on topic. Just like airplane threads aren't allowed in the car forums and cars aren't discussed in the boat forums we don't allow postings of other brands in a support forum.

Status: offline 		i have the mega p mxt-2s 1/8 and i think it is great. i have compared it to the redcat models and i found it to have a little better setup. like the sealed battery and receiver box. it also comes with anti sway bars, a big help in my opinion, it helps to keep it on it's wheels a little better than most. the engine in mine is the same one rdcat uses in some of their upgraded models, the team infinity .18 i'm not done with the break in yet but this .18 seems to have plenty of power all around. alot more than my vx 18 in my volcano. but remember this is a new truck and it will have a couple small things here and there that will need to be tweaked and adjusted for the good balance we all want. but this thing is definitely one mean truck. good ground clearance and very well built.

Status: offline 		Regardless of what type of car you buy, it can be broken. Aluminum bends and plastic either bends or snaps, no way around it. I bought a Redcat Hurricane XP 1/8th scale buggy for $260 w/shipping, and I have compared its construction to my Losi Megabaja and the construction is similar in where plastic and metal parts are used and applied. In fact my Hurricane XP uses more aluminum parts than the Megabaja does, for which I paid almost $450. Also my Hurricane XP runs faster and accelerates quicker than my Megabaja, and guess what I have broken both of them too!!! LOL YAR HAR HAR!!! I even took my Hurricane XP down to my LHS and let the owner I know drive it and he was saying HOLYFREAKINGDOGCRAPBATMAN, this car is really good for the money you paid!! Also remember just about everything we buy in the US is made in China, and I don't doubt many of the parts for my Losi Megabaja are made in China too!! So if you want, save your money and get a 1/8th scale buggy with a bigger engine and heavier parts and go hit the track. Just because the cars are cheap doesn't mean they are of poor quality and if you break something its cheaper to repair!!!
