Hi Djackson,I don't know anything about the Redcat except for what I have read,and until now, I haven't read anything nice.And about you being a noob, it seems you've learned the most important steps about r/c.Just go out there and have fun and bring the family.When I first started racing there was a three generation race team at the track and a brother & sister and dad race team.They didn't always race on the same day but they all seemed to have fun.
