actually most of the electronics are better in the redcats, also redcat dealers usually have the parts cheaper than the redcat company themselves, if you check most companies sell their parts and cars more than what dealers and hobby shops sell them for, its just the way it is.

I agree that the 1/8 electronics are better, but we are talking about the 1/10 model. The electronics in the 1/10th are the same on both. Same futaba control and 3003 servos.
