looks like the redcat truck, but the direct chinese version. all that came up on google was e-bay listings.

Sell it right away. It's not gonna be very good, but you can get a spot of cash off of it.

Yeah I know it...it's made by a Chinese toy manufacturor. very poor quality, crappy. It'll break every bone in bash. Actually we don't call it "model", we call it "toy". Never touch it if you're serious in this hobby

HMMM I just read a review in RC Car Action on the redcat or Himoto Monster Truck...it was given a decent review for an entry level nitro truck........as far as it being a toy...... it has a nitro engine in it and can reach speeds of 35 mph(like the review says in the Mag)....I would not class that as a toy...Anything from Tyco or New Bright or Radio Shack is a Toy(barely 10 mph)......No I do not sell Redcat or himoto...I don't even own one....I just thought it was inappropriate to call it a toy....I realize they may not be the best trucks or buggies out there but at the price they are it is likely to have a positive effect on the RC community by just making the Hobby more accessible to a wider range of people......which is good for the Hobby.....

My advice to the person getting this truck for free.......run it have fun with it and enjoy it......if it turns out that you would like to upgrade to a differant truck you will be a step ahead on account of what you have learned from running the entry level Himoto...

Not everyone in this Hobby can just purchase a top of the line vehicle....or ask Mommy and Daddy for it...


as I said fire it up and let it rip dude..........have a blast
