How old is the truck? BTW, diffs are kind of the bain of life, I'm guessing you blew the bevel gears. If so, put a rebuild in it and make sure everything is tight. If you keep killing gears, look...

Raeodor, having driven both, perhaps the backdraft seems faster because it doesn't handle as well? In a drag race the XTE will smoke the ultralight all day long. In the durability category, the...

Pro series is much sturdier, and of course a larger motor. If you look on the redcat site, you'll notice that there a lot more metal to the pro series. They are also physically larger then the...

I agree with the shimming the diffs and the screw thing. I've been steering people over to the pro line for about 2 years now. The Ultralight chassis is good for starting out, but the Pro's are...

Zach, your right, there are two. One is straight in, the other is angled. You want the angled one. Turn in to raise the shift speed, and out to lower. Do this in about 1 hour turns (as if the...

Um, Adam, you'll get a better/faster reply if you let us know what model you're talking about. If it's a Lightning/Tornado/Volcano, then there are steel gears available, I'm guessing you went from...

One trick with these receivers, I have little luck with the balloons, but if you fill the sockets on the receiver with dielectric grease, you'll keep water and dirt out. I've had receivers last 4 or...

RE: Kill Switch...Anyone?>>>>>>

To be honest I switched to the GT3B radio when I got my car, never even put batteries in the stock one.  I can say that a Killer Bee v1 works perfect with the GT3B.  I do know that Killer bee advises...

RE: Whats with redcats' shipping?

RE: Whats with redcats' shipping?
