As an owner of bot ha Red Cat Aftershock 3.5 and a Team Associated SC8, I want to add that the SC8 is a far superior truck. Having said that these guys that come one here and proclaim that Red Cats are junk have never had one. My SC8 is much more adjustable and easier to drive, but it cost twice as much. The Red Cat is a great truck for the price and really good for begginers to the hobby.
