seriously it would have to be complete junk to disappoint at that price.
I agree but dam those bodies are Fugly!Im not a crawler expert, but the new Redcat Danchee looks like some serious bang for the buck. Portal axles, locking diffs, and 4 wheel steering

Yeah some of their bodies are nicely detailed. Like the Custom Hauler.Yea those bodies are horribleRedcat is hit or miss with their bodies. Either they look really good, or really ugly.
I have no experience with their bashers. This will be my first Red cat vehicle so we will see, but from what I have seen with Redcat, as my friend has a Scout and he loves it, and what I saw at an event a few months ago. It is love - hate with Redcat. Their Custom Hauler was a hit and the Ascents were blah.That thing looks pretty sweet!I think Redcats crawlers are a little better than their "bashers".
I think the point that I try to take away is: even if the truck requires some upgrades, if you get it for a killer price, then it's a win. But the caveat is that it has to be fixable. For example, if you had bought their 1/6 scale Shredder at a sale price, you might be thinking you made out like a bandit. But there were next to no fixes or upgrade parts for the weak drivetrain. Things like an underpowered 4s system it came with: you can fix that and upgrade, so it's just a matter of price. But a weak drivetrain that has no upgrade parts is not something you can fix. So at some point it's not worth it. That's why the shredder was a bad buy at essentially any price.
Still can't believe they shipped that thing with a 4S power systemI think the point that I try to take away is: even if the truck requires some upgrades, if you get it for a killer price, then it's a win.

On the other hand, the Kaiju's need some improvement out of the box, but there are fixes and upgrades for them to make them pretty dang durable. So buying one for me was just a matter of "how much can i get this on sale?" At $450, there were other better buys for durability. But at close to $300 during one of their sales, it was a no brainer (that's the same price or less than an Arrma 4x4).
At $300, the marksman would have to be a pretty bad flop to not be worth it. Keep us updated on how it turns out!
