Default Redcat isnt tough you say? Whatch these vids

Hurricane Pro Muggy vs. Gravel Pit.

This was about 3 tanks of abuse.

Early on my pressure line popped off the pipe, and after that my air filter got plugged up, but other wise ran flawless.

All on a plastic geared weak servo for steering and Proline Badland MTR tires on Ofna Truggy Wheels

At the end of the run all that was damaged was one eclip missing, one leaking/bent left rear shock and bit of a deformed tuned pipe

My smile was ear to ear

Vids: All short clips film on a digicam by my wife. Enjoy!

it doesn't even sound like the engine is tuned correctly.

And uh... most 1/8 vehicles easily take that damage like champs.

After watching all the videos... it still sounds the same, "doggy".

She survived, I ended up going back this afternoon again.

Killed the CB bearings, bent the steering plate and the front universals!

If it werent for the CB bearing It would have seen more action.

I think it performs great but the gears are definitely tall, since new CB bearing are due Ill upgrade to a 13 or 12 tooth CB as well.

I let my buddy with the Savage take it for a rip, he didnt expect it to be so much lighter his Savage, it flew twice as far with him on the throttle!
