Default Redcat Mirage unboxing / body off/ running vid

Big packages delivered today.

Jump right to facts:

4s capable system
3s 30c 3000mah lipo included

4wd, with center diff.

CVD's up front, dogbones in the rear.

Bottom loading battery door.

Splash proof ESC.

Radio takes just 3 "AA" has basic trims/reversing and dual rates.

I found it takes 15 screws to remove the body. The body/rear shock tower are one, so the upper shock mount has to come off (ball studs, so its easy)

My skylipo, 3s, 30c, 5000mah hardcased pack fit easy once I pulled out the 1/2 foam spacer.
So a softcased 4s 5000mah, or maybe a hardcased 3000mah 4s will fit.

With body off its a fairly clean layout. Heaps better than the 8e line IMO.

I dont care for the reciever placement (behind motor) and Id prefer it be in a box.[&:]

Shocks feel good. alloy, threaded bodies.

Tires are a bit on the stiff side. But its meant more for bashing. And, it has 12mm hex and the stock tires are basically the same size as any 1/10 SCT tire. So plenty of wheel/tire combos out there which you can bolt right onto this rig.

Wheelbase is 430mm. Not sure what the exo is, but should be close.
