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.
