What do you want to do with it? 2wd/ 4wd/  truck buggie electric........gas. nitro........ on road off road?  most dealers have tons of parts in stock so don't worry I get my parts in about 2-3 days

no I mean im thinking on becomeing a redcat dealer

RE: thinking on dealing redcat
 

Oh......a dealer........are you going to be Ebay.......internet or a fullservice shop? Iwould say....... not a ton of hop ups for them I would think any of the 8E line and the 1/5th scale gas and electric are popular and they even have planes!! the parts are so cheap I would think $20-30000 of parts inventory should get you going well........ the 1/10th scale 4wd are probably the most popular "Volcano" "Caldera" some of the pro nitro models are popular but the Brushless electrics are taking off.... I would cruze youtube also.

RE: thinking on dealing redcat
 

You would make tons of money selling parts for the 1/10 scales..... They break a lot.

hi
how do u know it ?
u means all cars all comapnys or redcat only

RE: thinking on dealing redcat
 

Mostly Redcat.... The others do break too though, just not as much. I know this because I have one, and all the 1/10 are the same chassis but the caldera.

The 1/8 scale pro sell very good the volcano the backdraft in elec and nitro are all good sellers stock up alot on the nitro start kits and the work stand and nitro fuel we sell tons of these items. The pro series are more durable then the other series so they are great. Learn and drive as much as you can with all the rcs so you will be able to help your customers and the new airplanes have been great sellers as well.

thank you very much for your help

The backdraft 8e, earthquake 8E and aftershock 8e are all fine.
The monsoon xtr and hurricane xtr are solid too.
I'd look into the new 1/5th. scale electrics as those should be hot movers when released.
The micros look like a fail to me, but the crawlers are all solid, just have better servos on hand for customers. Extra batteries and radio parts as well. Redcat will drop ship many items to the customer direct so look into that as well. Good luck, their brand has some image repair to be done.
The entry level 1/10 nitros may be better now, but they used to be awful. I have really good luck with their 8th. scales owned 2.
