how do these compare to a redcat?
its really cheap.
my uncle wants one after seeing my tornado. do they have the same parts and do they have a great help network like this? thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/Smartech-Vanguar...QQcmdZViewItem |
RE: how does this compare to a redcat?
i dont think they're too much alike. and you can get a tornado cheaper on ebay. that one has a nicer, faster engine, but only a 1 speed trans and the layout is different. i dont think its really much alike. but it does look cool though.

RE: how does this compare to a redcat?
just to let you know i bought my first car from him and everything went ok but then i ordered parts from him and he tried to keep my money the only reason i got it back was because i looked him up and got his number and called him it took me two months to get my money back....just a warning dclinton...

RE: how does this compare to a redcat?
that smartech is actually very similar hey. In terms of quality, who knows? I know here in Australia, parts for smartech are far easier t get hold of than redcat/himoto.

RE: how does these compare to a redcat?
the smartech vanguard is the duratrax raze in america. since i cant say they are junk as per rules of rcu (manufacture bashing), its not a good vehicle by any means.
|
RE: how does these compare to a redcat?
ofna is a pretty good name too, i must say i do like my hurricane xp, its a real great rc. try it out if money is and issue or check the forums and see if anyone has use or owns one and what they say about it, i have really never heard anyone say anything bad about the hurricane
|
RE: how does these compare to a redcat?
come surf the 1/8 buggy forums. people bash it all the time about whoever put the buggies together (how colors don't go together), the king pin suspension, and the dealers.
|
RE: how does these compare to a redcat?
bash the ofna? i like the mutilator

I Have the Hurricane XP. I would Highly recomend it to anyone. Good luck in your choice.
|
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
i second that, lol, i am very happy with my hurricane
|
RE: how does these compare to a redcat?
ORIGINAL: ehroof bash the ofna? i like the mutilator |
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
thats your opinion bro, i like the mutilator, i have seen it run and driven it and i like it alot. Has alot of power with the .32 in it and it handles real nice.
|
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
The .32 makes a lot of torque...it's just not much on the big end of the RPM range.
I've driven one, and I just really didn't particularly like it. I honestly believe that my .21 powered Revo handles better. |
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
Here's my 2 cents
I'm new to the rc world. I like my tornado, for the price it seems like a really good rc. THey have their problems (a-arms breaking and spur gears) which you can read about on the forum, but all in all it's a really good car. Here's my problem, DARIN I HOPE YOU READ THIS: There is absolutely no factory support for the product. This forum is what they consider factory support; which is just costumers figuring out how to fix the problems their cars have, and fix factory flaws. If you e-mail/call redcat which I've done many times you will NOT get ANY customer support. DARIN DOESN'T GIVE TWO ****S ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS YOU HAVE. Again I like the product but honestly, the company sucks, and I'll never buy anything from redcatracing.com again. ***Read the Spur gear post*** |
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
they are moving right now and there support should be much better in the next month, they are out of the atv business and just concetrating on the rc cars now or i should say soon, plus we are more fun than an email or company support, no?? LOL
|
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
This forum is awesome, without out it I would never have gotten my car runnning. It's just hard to get direct answers from redcat. I wrote them about getting a green and purple car body (simple question) never got a reply.
Ehroof I hope your right, like I said I like the product but hate the company. It seems like it's a sort of franchise himoto/redcat, and Darin just invested in the franchise, and either doesn't have the knowledge or resources to run the company properly. He'll make money now seeling the product for super cheap but if there is no consumer backing, he's screwed in the long run. Again my 2cents |
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
Hey bro, i understand, hopefully things will be different, but at least i have fun on the forum and i help people out from time to time. there are alot of cool guys here
|
RE: how do these compare to a redcat?
ya like me im the coolest one here right ehroof LOL
