Foxy, please inform me of your Rock Crawling experience and more importantly, your direct experience w/ the Red Cat product in question?

I have have 5+ years of crawling experience and 25+ years of RC experience. I am a 2 time USRCCA qualifier and a 2.2 regional champion.

All of the information I have posted on the Red Cat is true. Your threats and abuse of Moderator powers will not change that fact, sway my post, or prevent me from posting the truth.

I stand by by statements and I hope those new to the sport benefit from my input and purchase quality produces instead of the junk Red Cat sells.

Sad that advertising dollars = Moderator protection here on RCU. Instead of standing up for the truth, you choose to sensor my educated, informed, and experienced feedback.

I fully expect to be banned for this post, so I hope several members are able to read it before it is erased and I am banned, but I fell that giving new participants in the sport real world experience and not paid for promotion and protection is important.

You must think we are power crazed nazis or something. Also, where did I threaten you?

Look, it's real simple, and has nothing to do with my crawling experience, or who's the 'champion'.

You are not going to get banned, or even put on moderation, and the only reason I am replying, and not deleting your post above, is so you don't have the impression that I am some kind of raving power hungry looney. Also, I'm quite interested to publicly respond to your outrageous accusations which in real life would amount to libel.

You had 4 posts deleted. 2 for using the acronym P*S (manufacturer bashing), one for attacking another member, and another because it was a reply to a deleted post. That's it, not complicated, not saying you were lying, it was the way you attacked the product that got your posts deleted.

Please review RCU rules before posting again, champ.

It seems to me that you already, despite my never having done or said anything to support this conclusion, believe I am somehow supporting our advertisers, where nothing could be further from the truth. Do you know me? Have we had interaction before? Do you spend time in the same forums as me? No, so quite why you think you know how I moderate, is beyond me. In response to the obvious 'you don't know me either', well... I don't need to. I moderate the community, it's my duty to remove such comments, whether I agree or not.

I hope that's clear, cos any more of this 'paid for promotion' stuff, and you will actually succeed in annoying me. I take great pride in NOT being one of those moderators, and if I was instructed to favour a product or company, I would not. Dezfan, if you wish to discuss this further (and I am more than happy to), lets do it via pm, calling out moderators in open forum will just get you more posts deleted.

Real Dogman, there was ZERO 'useful' information deleted from this thread. 6 posts removed from the first page for rule-breaking. Would you prefer I just stop moderating? Perhaps you could point out to me, the threads that have rule breaking posts in them, that you would prefer I did not moderate? That would be most helpful.

Right, back on topic please. Any more of this, and I will remove the whole topic, as it adds no value to the forum as is.

After watching that video, I could think of several things off the top of my head.

IMO, the wheels base is to long, the tires are a direct copy of the Pro Line Moabs (except for the horrible compound) and look like they lacked grip on some not to difficult terrain, the quality of the plastic isn't what I would call hobby grade, the suspension geometry leaves much to be desired, the bumpers are a hindrance to it's approach angle, 8 shocks are really non necessary, replacement parts are hard to come by, no aftermarket support, ect.... ect... ect....

Again, just my opinion, not flaming anyone.
