Actually I think Tommy (pede) was bent outta shape cause it was mentioned redcat has better support...I dont agree with that..

as far as the products...yeah alot of the older models were the same...granted the may have had different engines or what not....but the parts were the same..same #'s even....this past year has actually been kinda exciting....although redcat is now offering like (not the same models) as himoto has had for awhile (there are differences as Wade mentioned) they are also offering completly different rc's...

redcat does have a good parts network...but thats not to say himoto doesnt...if you own a redcat and need a part Wade or Mike will get them to you quick fast and in a hurry (I know this from experience because I have ordered from Wade)....ONLY time I experinced a very long wait on getting a redcat or redcat parts was when I ordered them directly through redcat...if your in kansas you will be waiting awhile (personal experience)....

I now enjoy parts within 4 days (usually 3...much like Wades service if he has the part in stock)...but I'm not ordering from a dealer ...I'm ordering from the usa distributer for himoto...which ='s more stock........

with that said I frequent redcat forum to help people out...sometimes a new hobbiest is struggling and needs help and hasnt had a reply....the simple fact is its a hobby and one of the kewlist things to me is helping each other out with setups, hopups and what not...

I try to get along with folks in redcat cause we got all the other people that like losi, associated, etc , etc...saying our cars are cheap....no sense in us trying to drag each other threw the mud.....whats funny is when you take one of these CHEAP cars to a track and not only beat but keep on truckin when their REAL RC breaks...great experience..yall should try it sometime..lol
