You're not going to feel a difference in handling persay, but you will notice better traction off the line and out of a loose turn with 4WD over your bajas that's for sure.

I take it's the one with the CC Promod on it, Carlo's engines are crazy fast that's for sure?

yes I have it completely torn down right now, nothing but a frame sitting there.......lol......got it all cleaned up and ready for reassembly, Nothing was broken at all, and the gears and all the ourdrive have absolutely no wear on them at all, Also the engine is real good lookin inside, From what I can tell this thing was only ran 2 or 3 times and never cleaned.......It is going to look brand new as soon as its reassembled tomorrow.

Looks good man.
I know you don't want to hear this, as you seemed kinda irritated by nutz4rcyktw's comment (even though you asked the question), but unless the previous owner has already done so, you can look forward to doing a lot of upgrading on the redcat. You said the gears look new, and they probably are. If they are the redcat brand white gears, the previous owner probably replaced them to sell the thing. They likely won't last one day unless you're gently putting around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to rain on your parade, but if you've driven a baja and now own a redcat, you're not going to be happy without a ton of upgrades. Still $250 would be hard to pass up...Good luck with it.

no none of the gears are white, They are all chrome metal gears everywhere, There is not a plastic gear anywhere on it......The whole drivetrain is all metal. I couldnt pass it up plus it has flysky rx/tx, upgraded hitec servos, Hpi baja wheel adapters, Plus the tires have hardly any wear on them at all.
