I'm curious to see how much its going to sell for. If it is more than 350, its gonna get laughed off the shelves.

The carbon fiber servo tray will not fit the VTX and Himoto as they have the front servo laying down. And that one is using the same servo tray that goes on the torpeda and the redcat buggies
I never said it was for the VTX and himoto vehicles

Very nice Eric. Hey I thought you were getting the himoto version? Dont you have something to do with Himoto? Hey does anyone know if the VTX or Himoto truggy is gonna come out in a pro kit sans engine & pipe? I really want one of these but cant see the point in getting another RTR. It would be nice if they had a pro kit.

VTX claims they have a pro kit in the works. When it'll be released, its unknown at this time.

yeah it would be good since I really dont need anymore engines, pipes or radio gear and it seems pointless buying an RTR. Are you running stock or have you put in a better engine?

i never run stock. The first thing I did when my redcat came and my vtx, was throw away the engine, tires, wheels, and electronics. They are junk, i'd never trust the electronics lol.

ORIGINAL: dclintonh

no motor,servos, radio. but it does have carbon fiber
in Kemo's defense, I wouldn't sell any of my cars minus motor and radio gear for less than $200 (aside from those of a certain brand, but we won't go there)

Just because he's asking more than you want to pay doesn't mean that it's not worth it. The guy I know selling his Viper wants $40k for it, and I want to pay $500 for it, does that make him stupid? I think not.

And the name...I just won't go there:P

Sup wade and blue

The monsoon truggy from redcat should be arriving june 19th. Here is a pic

well its now June 19th... nothing is on the website, nor an update on the forums.

-EDIT-

Now its on the site. Turns out it was the truck that I posted Funny, I said it'd get laughed off the shelves if it was more than $350. So, its selling for $349.99

http://redcatracing.com/itemdetail.a...partno=MONSOON

Description: With a super wide stance, the Monsoon XP will outperform most other 1/8 truggies with ease. A powerful .28 SH P3 engine, tuned exhaust and slide carburetor makes this vehicle a beast to be reckoned with on and off the track.


thats just a downright lie. The day a kingpin suspension truggy beats me on the track, is the day i retire.

looks to be a Hurricane with a 40mm growth in chassis length, and an Earthquake center slipper setup.
