For what they are (and the price at the time), the pair I bought are good fun. They came with a RTR package that was perfect for my situation. IDK how durable they will be on the track this spring, and IDC honestly (we have 2, and spare parts). Its about the quality time with my daughter.

Hello, new Redcat owner here (not new to rc). I just got the MT10E last week and having some bad luck with it. I have only run it a few times and already sheared of the rear bevel gear. I have run it with 2s and 3s lipos. I had the 3s in it when it sheared
the bevel gear right off. I wasn't doing anything abnormal with it just normal jumps and racing around my backyard. I emailed Redcat customer service and the guy told me that it wasn't recommended to use 3s lipos with it even thoug their website clearly states 2s to 3s lipo supported. I don't get it. Is this hopefully a fluke? I hope I didn't waste money
buying the 3s lipo for this or if I wasted money on this MT10e.

Hi guys! I'm new here and see that you guys have some experience with Redcat. Have any of you had to try for a warranty replacement with Redcat? I got my son a volcano 18 v2 for christmas and the reverse steering switch on the remote is broken. It is currently stuck in reverse steer. I have contacted customer service but they have given me nothing but the runaround. Just wondering what others experiences have been with Redcat if any. I can say that after dealing with this I don't know if I'll ever purchase another of their products. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Be careful to watch the temperature of your motor, especially when running 3s. 4400kv motors will run hot on 3s so you may need to stop and let it cool off before running a whole battery pack through it.

My Wendigo will NOT go in a straight line. It's top speed now is about 15 mph. I've tried 3 different servos all with the same result. It either veers quite a bit to the right or left. All the linkages are tight and I'm using a metal servo horn with no servo saver. The servos I've tried are decent and have metal gears. Has anyone else had this problem with their Wendigos? Is this just something you have to put up with on these models?
