Hey I just wanted to say, we got out first bunch of redcat electrics in today and ran a couple of them, THEY ARE SUPER COOL, not HPI quality, but still for the change they kick butt and take names, I love em and I don't like electrics much. The fact that they come with EVERYTHING, battery and charger kicks butt.

not only that, there is a brushless setup that redcat has for them now, killer setup and a great price: http://www.redcatracing.com/itemdeta...brushlessmotor
i dont know why it says not in stock. i have had my electric volcano for months, i have the volcano and lightning electric.

Guys i agree it's a killer deal for the price, as for the brusless setup it's not in stock as a combo, but you can get it if youn purchase it separately for the same pirce
, i have no idea why there is even a combo if there are no savings
, anyways i ordered some parts for my store and ordered a brushless to try out on my electric redcats, i'll post up any info and reviews of it.[8D]

Sorry for not updating guys, i got the bl system, and the esc is huge[X(], compared to a mamba max maybe double in size, does have a lage heatsink, motor is 540 sized, no info on th esc, the motor info says it should operate on 9.6v-18v, i have th specs on the motor it's 3300kv, 58 amps max load[X(], and i was going to put it on my electric tornado but i decide to put it on my xl-5 rustler, i used a maxaps 7.2 4400amp stick pack and put it to the test, it does glitch a little on the very beginning of the throttle, i am pretty sure geared at 23 on the pinion and only 7.2v didn't help that much either
, but after the initial glitch the car just took of, it has incredible torque in the middle range and great top end, i didn't have a radar gun to verify the speed, but i can safely say that it was doing at least 40mph on 7.2veasy
, i am getting a 9.6v battery this week and a radar gun for the top speed test, but so far i really think this a great combo for the performance and the price.
