Default Announcing the new XT Line-Up from Redcat Racing

Alright folks, its official now at Redcat Racing:

[link=http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/1-5-Scale-Gas] XT Buggies, Trucks and Electrics at Redcat Racing!! [/link]

The New XT line-up consists of the XTB buggy, the XTT Truck, and the XT-E Large Scale Electric Buggy.

XT Truck




XB Buggy


XB-E Buggy



Dealers are getting a limited supply, so contact your dealer to try and get on the pre-order list if you want to be the first ont eh block with these new Large Scales. We have been testing these since May, and making changes to them. This is the sproduction version from Redcat, with all the changes made for long term reliability.

I have a pre-order list going, just not sure how many each dealer will get yet, so order early to make sure you get them. Refunds may have to be given to the latecomers.

Thanks for posting the info Rob.

Based on the dealer pre-order requests we believe this will be the year of the Rampage.

It's too bad those upgrades aren't retroactive. I always feel so primitive with my V1.

It would also be nice to see that electric with a $500 price tag.

So what makes the XT/XB different than the MT/TT?

I see from some of the photos that it looks like they switched back to a single steering servo setup, shock towers look different, looks like they added sway bars, and an interesting looking rear exhaust.

Compeltely different chassis and suspension. Everything is new and lighter, except for the geartrain. But Redcat added steel gears for increased reliability.

No reviews anywhere. Just a a guy with busted diff cups is all I've been able to find. I want some nice vids of it flying. Anyone have one yet that can give a review?
I mean lots of people were hyped/worked up about this vehicle. But not much info posted both here and the redcat forums.

Have you ever thought that the majority of the people that have them might be running them?
Mine is already faster than my Nutech was with the same engine and I am still waiting on a Jetpro pipe. Its turns exceptionally well and it stops on a dime.

Have not seen it yet, and sadly there is nothing that will ever make me like a Redcat :P
Well not true... I wish they would still carry the Rally car because from what I have heard it actually was a good vehicle. I would buy one but the fact that redcat stopped selling it (Even thought HSP/Himoto still do) is why I don't own one.

Doesnt look like he's going to power jam based on his signature he's selling all of his cars.. It's a shame really, considering how strongly he supported nutech. It would've been good to see his TB II Pro vs some Redcat XB's and TT's at the event. Oh well, nunchuckskillz who just broungt my nutech SS said he'll be there to support the brand, since sherv bailed!
