Performance Claims
I've noticed that the claims for top speed on the Redcat buggies and trucks are 60-70mph. Please excuse the skeptisicm, but I think that is an outrageous claim. I honestly can't see these kits running upwards of even 50+, let alone 60-70mph. Is there any proof that these kits can achieve these speeds? I've seen similar claims from Himoto on E-bay promising 85mph. Does anyone out there actually believe these claims? I'm not trying to rag on this product, just trying to get the facts. How fast do they REALLY go?
I'm all for a new company to come out on the market, especially when they are offering RTR kits for people on a budget, it's great for everyone, but come on.. let's get realistic here. I think that it would be a good idea for a business relationship to start out with 100% honesty. And if I bought a buggy with the expectations of it doing 70mph, and then found out it does nothing near that speed, I'd never buy anything from that company again. I would feel that I'd been lied to.
I welcome anyone with a radar gun to clock their Redcat doing 70mph. Tell you what, I'll even BUY one if I recieve proof that they do 70mph right out of the box.
