Status: offline 		Just got my monsoon from clermont hobby and it has been way more then I expected it to be. The only issue I had was during break in when I could not get it to run more than 10 seconds at a time. Blistered my hands pullstarting it through two tank fulls and trying to see why it would not stay running when I found out the hole from the exhaust pipe that goes to the fuel line to pressurize the tank was never drilled out. I had no pressure to tank and had to keep priming it. Drilled out the hole myself and used a set screw on the end to only allow exhaust pressure to tank and it runs fine now. Redcat is supposed to be sending my lhs a new pipe for me no questions asked, Great service their. And one other small issue was when I changed the shock oil, one nut inside a shock had come loose but no big deal. Great truggy and a bargain.

Status: offline 		Ciao, i have a Searover by HSP (the taiwan factory that made the truggy for Smartech Redcats and Himoto ) it's the same of the Monsoon ,and i think that it's very strong.
The truggy run and jump ,jump and run and never crash;
moreover it has a nice price.
My vote is 8/10

Status: offline 		Anyone have the aluminum upgraded arms on the monsoon yet. I was wondering if they are actually heavier than the stock arms and how do they hold up when you crash. I have been told that when you put aluminum arms on some cars that when you crash the arms will break other parts on the car becuase the aluminum arms do not give or flex any. Are they worth buying?
