Two and a half inches longer than a Kraton v5, HW 150/4274. Looks like you get quite a bit for $500 but it's still a Redcat. Who knows.

So basically a XLWB chassis of a K6S?
 
A Hobbywing max 10 in the 4s version seems small for the weight that rig probably weights. Why even bother? Cool looking rigs though.

They should have went Max 8 and Max 6, if they wanted to be serious.
 

Initial impressions suspension doesn't look right

I have a Shredder and it's the biggest POS I own! Anyone want to buy it?? A buddy of mine has Kaiju and were just joking that they are using the shredder platform/chassis and diffs. lol 😂 My first experience in the hobby and all I did was take that thing apart and work on the diffs over and over again. Finally got it going good enough to break a bunch of plastic parts jumping about 18 inches off the ground. 💩

I'm not even sure why you would suggest a redcat basher as an introductory rig if all you do is break it. It put a bad taste in my mouth. Then got a OC 4s V2 for second rc and it came with plastic gears on a V2. I persevered and I'm still here..addicted as hell.

The v1 had plastic. The v2 has steel
 
20mm longer wheelbase than a Mojave/Fireteam and 10mm longer than an outcast 8S. Kraton/XRT 8S is ~490mm

Something doesn’t collaborate with the wheel diameter and electronics specs since no weight is listed, lots of plastic to keep light or severe overheating.

Apparently QC was still figuring that out when I decided that I wanted to get my first Arrma.

Did you have them send you one new one?
