i've been in the hobby for a while,.so im pretty much well seasoned. I have a collection of nitros, from hpi, ofna and traxxas. and this redcat is falling way short. yes i understand they are lower end rcs but when you do all the upgrades they get up there in durability. my traxxas rustler is bone stock, and you would not believe the crap it has been through, and its always ready to go,
Asfar as the nylon nut, it wasonly used one time. and im not a big fan of using loctiteon an m3 thread when your already using a nyloc nut.
I totally agree and your right 100% there is alot of up keep and headaches when in this hobby. Butthere is always a point that you will get to when you say enough is enough! and start considering spending it on another brand than keep dropping it on something that might be a lost cause, I honestly dont evenhave a whole quart of fuelran through this buggy yet! Next time your at Ed's ask him if he carries any parts for these redcats and see what he says lol or pretty much anyone else around here that is reputable when dealing or working onnitros.Im either having to make my own parts or wait a week and a half to get them from A.Z.
