Status: offline 		first off ive owned many rc cars xxx4,rc10gt,lx comp,tc3 but my main vehcile i have now is a rd logics sho so im not afraid to order parts because my lhs doesnt carry parts for it. i already have a 1/8th scale buggy that im happy with it has a .28axial som looking for something that runs a smaller more economical motor but is tough and that has ground clearance for bashing.. please understand that i wont really race this vehicle and im looking for a basher and thats what attracted me to redcat is the price.. im leaning heavily on the volcano sv what is everyones take on that truck?

Status: offline 		I love mine great 1/10 basher has some weak points but all do ie stock shocks. With some upgrades it is a great truck for the money and will take abuse. I'm still trying to kill my stock engine so i can order an OS. I have gotten 25 min runtimes with it just bashing around the yard and driveway. I'm sure plenty of others will have more to say about it.

Status: offline 		not as of yet, there is going to be or is one in the works but that wont be posted or done for a while. There isnt much negative about it, its really a nice truck. there was a problem with the spur gears stripping but that was corrected with new steel clutch bells. the engine has decent power, its no os but good power. Its durable, good on fuel.
