I dont think that looks anything like a redcat. That looks really cheap. Look at the rear body posts. Thats not going to holp up very well. And I dont see any cross braces on hte a arms.

Actually its not Smartech either. I saw them in China and was not very impressed with the quality. They may have changed them since I last saw them but who knows.

I don't believe the 65mph top speed claim. However, the gear ratio is 5.78:1 so maybe if they lift the wheels off the ground and power the wheels that way. Or maybe with a VERY VERY powerful engine.

that thing is sweet looking. Love the body posts with those colorful rings, and the over sized gas tank....lmao. I have to agree with Wade, piece of junk.

Did you see the lower arms on that! They have no bracing on them at all. Just a triangle and thats it. The first time you hit something with that they are going to break.
