RE: questions about redcat 1/8 scale
i have the earthquake 8e. havent shimmed the diffs on mine. its not that hard to do, and not every model will need it done.
the earthquake i would think is the best basher, higher ground clearance....bigger tires ect.
redcat sets the price dealers can sell the vehicle for. so even if a dealer is willing to pull the lipos out, you would still have to pay $299.99.
and im sorry but a pair of nimh packs will never power the truck like the stock lipos will.
im gonna be alittle mean here.....you need to get over your fear of lipos! they are simply awsome. treat ANY battery the wrong way and it will be bad. treat any battery the way it is supposed to be used and you wont have any problems.
start watching vid half way through, some serious earthquake bashing.
