This is definitely a great start and a huge move for redcat to represent American rc drift 🔥
WOW that's a huge jump for them. Glad to see more players in the drift market.
Maybe this opens the door for horizon hobby to take a crack at the growing 2WD drift scene. Between arrma, losi, and Team Associated I'm sure they could cover the gamut of budget RTRs to serious competition level cars that challenge Yokomo and the bespoke brands.
I would love for associated to take the plunge personally. They offer such a vast array of parts and tuning to all their vehicles. I was the only person originally in our NPRC group that ran an associated platform 3 seasons before associated dropped the offical kits. I’ve always been an AE fanboy and would be back in a heartbeat if they did.
They would need to do a spinoff like they did with element for the crawlers.... They don't want to mess up the heritage in racing they have fostered under the associated banner
@@odomandr as long as it’s associated behind it, I’d be a fan!
Looking forward to try it out.
I would totally buy one, they look super capable out of the box!
You should! Free shipping this week too!
Awesome review Jordan!!
Glad you think so Rob! Cheers sir!
Excellent video, looking forward to the series.
JESUS i cant wait to buy this thing lol
Buy it now from us!
Awesome, I'm excited for this
Me too!
I wanna get into the hobby. I think you've sold me on this car.
Super pumped to hear that! We are definetly loving ours! Make sure to check out our build series to get some ideas for yours!
You have my attention RedCat. Lets see if you can hang witht he MSTs and Yokomos. I be maybe wanting to buy one later.
Would absolutely love to see this come out as a builders kit! The bones of the thing seem to have serious potential 🤘🏼
It’s happening!
Stickers!!!!!!
Far out! Looking forward to building one up eventually. Always love seeing the rigs you guys throw together (especially that wagon near the end 🤤🤤). Can’t wait to see what you do with this one 🤙
We are equally excited! Thanks for the support and we look forward to making this series awesome!
Cool bro Thanks for the good info, like usual 🤘👽
easy tip to remedy self-loosening wheelnuts: buy some fitting locknuts or (to not sacrifice the clean look from the stock wheels) you should look out for some fitting spring washers to be screwed between the wheels and nuts. either of those methods should provide you with the safety to run ur fun without checking the wheelnuts ever so frequently.
If someone tries the washer method, please let us know, whether the caps still fit or not. Thank you.
great review with interesting details. looking forward to the upcoming series.

Awesome review...
Thank you! Cheers and glad you enjoyed the review
"Have a home for years" that's quite an endorsement from Scale Science.
Figured MST has been in the rtr scene for well over 7 years and straight monopolized it. I’ll give it a home for the simple fact that these rtr creators need that competition to push it to the next level!
@@ScaleScience Any plans to stock the Aplastic bodies? When I lived out in Bennett Colo. I had a 1969 Road Runner. They make a 1970 version and the wheel base is geared to drift cars. Aplastic or A Plastics also has an early 60 s Impala, don't know what else is in their product line but they have my attention.
@@mikeupton5406 if the opportunity provides yes but I generally send those in search of aplastic bodies to tandemRC out of Phoenix!
A better looking more scale body, I would drop my $400 right now to get into drifting. But I'll wait until it looks better. Or aftermarket bodies come out.
There’s hundreds of other bodies on the market. Spend the money and you won’t regret it
Is this from the guys at Tandem RC?
From redcat, which is located in Arizona!
@@ScaleScience i noticed you said shane tho.. the same shane that owns Tandemrc?
Shane was the designer of this chsssis from ground up. He works for redcat but is also an owner at tandem so you know he put some serious forethought into the design
Associated need to get on it, I mean they got into the drag scene and the drift scene has been around much longer and is a lot bigger market
Definetly more stable! I sure hope they do!
Ask Associated how the drag scene is for them. Discounted sales arent good long term.
@@TandemRCrob they are an odd company as they left the onroad scene when they had a TC car which only really needed small changes to be bought up to date to be competitive for racing. By doing so they are also missing out on the FWD racing scene which is booming right now. But they thought drag racing was going to have a long shelf life 🤷
Awesome video. I really want to get into drifting but being in the Uk, redcat is hard to get hold of. What would you recommend a rtr something like the mst 2.5 or would you recommend a kit. Many thanks
Scott, if you have rc experience I’d say get a kit! We could probably ship to you if need be! Otherwise mst or Yokomo will be most popular options
@Scale Science Brilliant thanks, is the redcat a good option say the kit. Postage and tax is really expensive to the Uk.
@@scottjackson1812 it’s a great option but with nobody else around you driving one, could make tuning it and sourcing parts for it difficult!
@Scale Science Awesome thanks for your advice. Yeah unfortunately there isn't really any online and we don't have many local hobby shops that stock redcat which is unfortunate. So the mst or sakura would be better options
I think best way is 3racing sakura d5 to start with. It's a kit car and you can put your own electronics on it so you don't buy things you don't really want. Also by building it self you learn about the car😉👌🏻
Redcat RDS kit will be coming soon.
You’d be surprised how many people don’t have the know how, knowledge or tools to build an rc car. So many directions you can go, people tend to get kind of lost in the options too. I do agree building a car yoursef will teach you about it, but at least you can ensure your RTR was assembled correctly (hopefully) and be able to have fun with it as quick as you can unbox it! Different then the d5, you won’t need to upgrade shocks, make an esc plate for rear mount, etc. plus the biggest fright for all new people, painting and cutting out an rc body.
@@ScaleScience both are essential to the hobby IMHO but we definitely don't have enough kits on the market in general, drifting does a decent job in the kit area but maybe lacking in the RTR area
I'm thinking about getting into drifting. The car specs sound really good. But the stock body is awful. Redcat makes so many rtr bodies that look awesome. But this????
It weirdly grows on you or can. It looked terrible at first and it still doesn’t look incredible but some simple touches really bring it to life. Any licensed drift body will also work. Most people change their first rtr body within the first year. Redcat is just encouraging those of you who hate the body to do the same. I for one love Z’s and this has enough of a classic Z tail with modernized lines and almost a 350z front end that I actually like it lol. But in grey, didn’t love the orange. I’m eager to paint one and have something different
I'm still on the fence.
Ok an rtr with angled ball ends that's in itself is something to appreciate
Haha agreed Shawn! Drive one, I have a feeling you’ll like it
I run nprc in Colorado but been watching your guys videos cause been debating getting a drift car together for the super g drift competition they’re having in vegas with RcDragtalks KingOfTheStreets nprc event have really enjoyed and learned a lot from your videos
Glad to hear it! Would love to help get you and any other racers prepped for that on the drift side! Come on down to the shop one of these Fridays and get educated!
