RE: got my new redcat today but......
I wasn't going to say anything, but I will. My first car was a Redcat and it was part after part after part breaking. Don't get discouraged with Nitro RC. Stick with it. I think of my Redcat as a wonderful learning machine. I enjoyed the crap out of it. Make sure you get a 1/8 "GOOD" RC next and you won't have issues. Heck, you may not have any other issues with the Redcat, I heard they are much better than they were when I had one.
