Couldn’t resist (Redcat 16)

It’s for my kids collection of tiny cars she teaches other kids to drive at the park.
Well, not really but that’s the story I’m sticking with $88 isn’t bad and I had an Amazon gift card anyway.

My neighbor got the red and blue one for his kids. They seem pretty good for a little budget RC. I tend to see my neighbor playing with them more than his kids.

Not a bad little truck, a few members have it and have some fixes and tips in this thread https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/redcat-volcano-16-1-16th-scale-brushed-monster-truck.30795/ even a small review from a member.

Thanks for pointing out that thread! It looks fun and I don’t have a tiny truck myself so yeah…looks like fun. I have a new brushless set up and servo that we’re gifted to me by someone who’d gotten them for a volcano 16, perfect for when/if the stock ones go out.

My buddy has a pair for his kiddos. They busted them up pretty quick. Boys...
He's bought a couple of rollers for spare parts.

If Gary says it good and he likes it it's gotta be pretty sweet.

Did the shocks and driveline.
The driveline I could have done without but the shocks made all the difference! Plush landings and soaks up the bumps...no bouncing around.
Yea for sure the shocks. You'll be happy with them

Ok that’s what I was wondering about, the drive train. The shocks I’m planning on but will leave the DT for when I throw in the brushless set up I have someday. Thanks man!

Man this little thing is a blast and I’m impressed with the quality so far. Since it feels like a real RC car I had to go through it just like I would a new Arrma. Quality control is definitely better on this car I must say

Even shoe goo’d the lid and put a couple of tiny skids on it. The oil shocks came in today and absolutely make a difference. Got a little wheelie bar for fun also. I really want to put the small brushless system I have in it but keep reminding myself… I got this to drive with the kids tiny trucks and need to keep it reasonable. For now.

Badass.

How bout some pics under the hood?
