Did you buy that from their website? How much? If I was into nitro I would consider picking one up as well.

If that is in fact your website and you have done reviews on many Redcat vehicles you should at least know that the Aftershock 8-E is the short course truck, not the buggy.

I am a dealer for Redcat and every other brand of R/C so you should probably know what you are pushing before coming onto a forum that has a pretty strict policy against free advertising.

Nice spam.

You have already B.S'd your way out of this one as I saw on another thread you doing the same $H!T.

I didn't read a single forum rule but I have common sense and don't walk onto a forum that gets a few hundred thousand hits every month and start spamming away thinking it's alright.

Selling R/Cs IS MY REAL JOB and I am willing to bet I make just as much $$ doing it as you do at your "real" job all while following simple rules set forth by the owner/founder of a pretty awesome forum.

Take some advice from a real R/C dealer:

People are more likely to come to you if you don't shove your products down their throat. Keep your little signature advertising and tactfully answer any questions people have about your products and feel free to chime in about any remarks made about Redcat but don't tell people to go visit your website at every mention of the brand.

By the way it is a pretty nice website. I read your reviews and looked at your pics. Pretty good job for having a "real" occupation.

Default Redcat

I have a Redcat Aftershock 8E. I have beat and bashed this truck to see how it would hold up and what abuse it would take!!! Its really fast out of the box. I was playing one day and my daughter said "wide open daddy". Well it broke traction, drifted sideways rolled, tumbled, end over end, you name it in a crash it was doing it for about 50' it straight into the curb. I broke the steering link my fault not Redcats or the truck. I beat the truck for about a month before this happened. Since then I have put all the hop up parts on the truck including the 1/8 Backdraft wheels, next will be the sway bars. Redcat keeps the parts in stock and ships very fast. On rc universe a couple of guys sell them at a really good price. I have 2 Slashes 1 stock and 1 mod. Its the same if you beat ,bash and play around with them as I do. With any of them if you play hard you will always be buying parts name brand or not. I have broke alot more stuff on the mod slash then I have on any of my other RCs. The last thing I broke on the Slash was the frame at the transmission, and 2 bent shocks from about 15' high back flip to landing on the wheels. The bulk head just the other day by hitting the curb. Just letting you know I play very hard with all my toys and the Redcat has held up just fine after numerous crashes (trees,curbs,bad landings,etc.)

I don't think it's an issue if it will hold up to a little backyard bashing.

My experience with them is.

A) Redcat changes part numbers and parts all the time. Like the issue with the OWB in the VX-18. Also a 2007 model, we couldn't find a replacement P/S for the engine.

B) They won't hold up under racing conditions.

Neu_Racer, those tools really look cool. are they made of chrome vanadium? i love tools too but i always check their metal content or what alloy are they made of.

my bashing buggy a redcat one is still ok. going 5 years coz i always oil the moving parts like the axels xcept for the brakes of coarse. i know it against r/c rules but it made my redcat live longer. if you want a good performance buggy set it up right. if you dont want it to sway in straight line put the right oil in the frt center and rear diffs. get a good tire, etc just a matter of set up.

when it comes to racing that's where highend kyosho xray mugen etc goes in, coz they use light weight materials such as 7075 t6 Al cnc parts which are light weights (but stronger), they uses light weight spurs etc that's why they are expensive. a bashing buggy and a racing buggy are really totally different classes. so i dont see anything wrong with the redcat it's a good practice bashing buggy. just the driver i guess well this is just my opinion cheers dont mean any harm
