I saw a YouTube video with that truck, I think it was Tomley. Apparently either Redcat had it designed and manufactured by another company, or they sold the rights to another company to sell them.

Looks like a version or copy of the redcat machete.

It seems good if you don't jump to hard and if you get satisfied performance with the stock motor and a pinion change.
However if you own a XRT, the point with this one is only on a smaller run place/yard?
XRT is probably the better truck in the rest of all ways.
Well its (half) the price but also smaller.
Since I drive throttle heavy especially during snow/winter this is a no go for me since motor cant be changed to something bigger.
I want to be able to have a bigger motor for better temp control than the stock one here.
EDIT: Maybe this (bigger) motor erevo 2.0 fits https://traxxas.com/products/parts/motor/3376waterproof2200motor or Sledge motor https://www.monsterhopups.de/Traxxa...7mm-Brushless-with-65mm-Gold-Connector-Cooler
Modster seems to have 4274 motor while redcat seem to have 4074

New hobbywing sensored motor may fit https://www.rynos.se/sv/artiklar/hobbywing-motor-ezrun-4278sd-g2-2250kv-sensor.html
Good information here translated

The Machete doesn't seem like a good choice for big air, but it does look like it's pretty decent handling. Biggest drawback is a total lack of aftermarket support I feel. Although I haved enjoyed the Kaiju for 3 years without any aftermarket support. Just have to come up with our own solutions..
