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.

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.
Hey i just purchased one about 3 weeks ago. Second day remote malfunctioned and went full throttle instead of vraking into a pole. Broke the lower arm and bent tie tod. Remote has been going forward instead of reverse and i cannot figure out why? 4 out of 10 times i push the trigger in reverse it goes forward has anyone experienced this? I tried calibrating and whem i get to.the step to set reverse it wont set.
also i only run 3s lipo on mine and havent had any issues yet

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.
ive had good experience with Customer service. The first day the battery strap broke and they sent me a new 1 within a week

Default New to the hobby

Hey I’m new into this and my friend Aauman88 lent me his two old Mt10e to start with. Trying to create a hobby for my two sons. Today I received a 3s LiPo battery and paired with the stock 4400kv motor. Amazing difference in just changing the battery!!

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?
