  • How fast does it go? If you own a scaler you are embarrassed. You are, stop. It's still badass, but there is something that speed does. It's like a good sandwich or pizza. We need it. Redcat's new Wendigo Rock racer looks like it's ready to attack. The body is full of details, and the tires are like a nasty set of 38's on a Rubicon. So does throwing big power at a chassis that's designed to go slow work? This is what we are here to find out.

    It's nice to have a rock racer that is drivable at 1/2-3/4 throttle and always have the OPTION to total it out at about 40mph! Haha! That's how I feel about mine..

    This is the best review I've seen, my 2 cents, like other great high powered RC trucks, soft springs, lower the truck, probably preform better 🤔...

    Suggestion: if you put in a cheapo Holmes Hobbies 5 slot 550 motor and a quicrun 1080 brushed esc, it'll go pretty slow, with very good control. Go crawlin'. Swap it back out for the kit combo, and you're back to speed bashing again. Just my 2 cents.

      I put a 1080 with a 21 turn traxxas brushed motor and burnt the motor out rather quickly . The gearing would need to be changed.

    Do you guys think 2.6in Clodbuster tires and rims would hold up on this rig? Could possibly help with the rolling over issues as well.

    Can it crawl well though as well as go fast? Would a smaller pinion help it be more of a crawler than a racer?
    I don't want a crawler but don't want one that can't crawl either.

    • @vrcmag
      @vrcmag  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can't go fast and crawl well. Like a drag Jeep with 3 foot articulation. Not good.

    What do you think of turning this model into a Crawler?

    • @vrcmag
      @vrcmag  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possible but then you just buy their crawler instead?

    Redcat products always break like balsa wood. I always spent more time ordering buying and replacing parts than I ever did driving. Oh yeah, they make the WORST tires in the game.
