update: i bought the redcat volcano exp pro. and a lipo battery. this thing is fast and sweet. knock on wood so far no issues. ran it 3 times on the battery is came with. truck does maybe 20mph for 10-15 minutes. i bought a gen 5000mah 50c lipo battery and this truck flies! if i punch it on the take off. the truck will end up up side down, now i will be buying a traxxis next. for myself. but that will be next year.
glad to hear you like it.
It is alot of truck for the money. And as you have seen, a $25 lipo battery really wakes the thing up. Lipos are what brushless systems crave.
Ive owned 2 or 3 volcanos thus far. I have a tornado epx pro right now. They are just soo fast for what they cost. You have to dish out $300 for a traxxas vxl to get the same speed. Nothing wrong with doing that mind you, the traxxas vxl models are good. Ive had the rustler/stampede and slash vxl models.
Keep an eye on screws and such. Make sure nothing is getting loose. Alittle preventive work on the truck and the volcano will treat you well.
