Love Redcat Tornado, I own 2 of them, one is 5 yrs old and my 2nd one I've had for 6 months. Both are 3s and clock in at 53 mph and with Duratrax ST tires about 56, both cars are mainly ran on the street or in parking lots and have a great center of gravity. I started with rc racing in the early 80's and this buggy for the price range and performance you can't beat. Dad's if you buy one for your kid, buy 2 because you will end up playing more with it than your kids or grandchildren!
Awesome buggy. Love the paint scheme and suspension. It's quit similar to a Sunfire. Thanks for sharing. I was looking for another Sunfire and really there were not many to choose from compared to the Redcat. Awesome 👍👍
I agree about the programing.. I'm same way. Spent a bunch on flysky trans and receiver when I should have just got a simple dumbo rc tran and rec. All that programing is nuts and complicated and can be confusing
Great video!, i have a XSTR, i think it's the same but with another name and it's spectacular, a lot of fun. I follow your videos that are excellent, greetings from BCN
Yes, I forgot to mention it has steel spur and pinion. It's a little noisy rolling it. But it's absolutely normal on this buggy. On a blackout then they can be a little noisy too as the spur pinion gear wear. Just check there are no little rocks in the mesh. The blackout uses coarser 08 pitch gears, and can on occasions catch a small piece of grit, and that will often make a significant noise.
@@geekkrew2522 On the blackout if it's running OK, I would not worry about it too much. Exact source on noise on an RC drive train can be tricky to pin-point sometimes. You can always remove the pinion gear and see how noisy the drive train is without the motor connected to it. That's always a good thing to do to see if anything is binding up in the drive train.
This same chassis is branded in many different brands. Redcat just uses this generic chassis. It's also known as exceed and hsp hi speed. All same car with different body color schemes.
The 1 st redcat buggy I ve seen anyone review. I must say I like the looks .. the blue is awesome. Also a great price

Very detailed videos. I appreciate that. Helps me out a lot. I’m a beginner. Looking to buy this buggy. Thanks buddy.

I just order the HSP version, super excited. I am planning on putting 1/8 wheels on it.
would not recomend that if you plan on running 3s

Thanks for your comment and for following us.
Nice video. Can the shocks be upgraded and if so what would be recommended for better shocks?
LOVE TO GET 1 GOT AFEW WLTOYS LINE ALSO VERYGOOD
primeira coisa.... trocar rodas e pneus,,,, colocar silicone no amortecedor..... e por hub de alumínio...
Reminds me of the zd racing 9102
Is it supposed to make that grinding sound when you roll it? My blackout pro does that but I mean it runs great

Volcano chassis and running gear
Slightly different chassis, arms and shocks, but yes, several a number of parts are shared with the Volcano EPX Pro.

I just love mixing the Redcat parts
Get r dirty mate
redcat is junk
That's not true, they've made good and bad stuff like every company. They've been getting significantly better with quality that last few years.
