RE: got my new redcat today but......
the thing is its not the fact the spur gears plastic. My MT2's spur is plastic and it still looks like new after about a gallon of nitro ran through it, and who knows how old it was seeing I bought the truck used(It was a MT1 before so the spur is probably pretty old). Its just the quality of plastics redcat uses for their parts that is the issue. I've read alot of reviews and the forums and almost everything I've read comes down to low grade plastics being used. I actually almost bought a redcat for my 1st RC till I read how many issues people had with them, and were using HPI parts instead where available. I will say though redcat makes some damn nice looking vehicles too bad they can't get the quality up to match the looks.
