Default RE: new car

Want another one for parts? I wasnt impressed with it at all. Hard to keep tuned, Replaced the clutchbell 3 times till I went with a Losi Aftershock Clutchbell, the 2 speed is junk, radio is a terrible and tires suck BIG TIME. I posted on this forum 3 times for some help, the only advise anyone gave me was to get rid of it and get a real truck. So I pulled the servos, motor and reciever and the rest is in a box in storage.

I tried to use the customer service through Redcat and they are very sad when it comes to any help. The only thing they would do is refer me to the parts pages for the faulty parts. i.e. radio had a broken antena wire and had a 20 foot range, clutchbell broke on the first takeoff run of breakin also causing the clutch spring to break. They said if I put fuel in it, it was used and not warrentied. What a joke of a warrenty that is.

Some ppl have had good luck with their Redcats, I myself have had nothing but a headache. I dont want to disuade you from your New Tsunami I just wanted you to be aware of some of the possible problems. Clutchbell should be replaced ASAP with one from HPI. This should help with 1 of the problems you will deffinatly have.

Good luck and enjoy it either way.
