Some XT Updates Posted by Redcat

[RedcatRacing]

Hey all.


We have some approximate dates on the new 1/5 Scale Vehicles.


All 3 of them which will include XT Truck & Buggy along with Electric Buggy will be available around mid to late January.


We are not set on the XT name yet, so that might change.


Pricing will come later but like all of our vehicles, they will be affordable and should upset the competition.

I like that they will be affordable and should upset the competition. Very nice

i think that should be Redcat's new slogan.

Affordable and upsetting the competition, and here to stay.

[Trickle007]

[RampageHopUps]

Definitely going to be a hit.

 

[krashkrieg]

Yeah!...Can't wait...gotta clean a little house now...

 

[Ron E]

sounds great, looking forward to the electric buggy. how about the electric truck, will that follow?

 

[dale_gribble]

Are there any pictures or teaser shots yet?

 

[krashkrieg]

I'm with you Ron...I want the Power of Electric in a 1/5 scale....

You might want to see what a modded 26 will do in it before going electric. The car is so light that I can honetly say that I'm thinking about putting in a heavily modded 23cc into mine so I can rev it to the moon. This car doesn't need torque of a 30.5 or a brushless to get insane acceleration.

I know, I'd really like both...I'm an Electric fan from Savage Flux and Losi 8Te and already own a Hyperion DuoV3 Charger.... But I bet a race 27.2 would be just as ridiculous...

I want them ALL! The truck, the buggy and the E-buggy!

You are correct. My 25lb rampage (race ported ONB 27.2, lightened piston, 813, shreadstack, hpi filter, zrc isolator, 8k spring, 5bss pipe, 29/31 swapped, bow ties, etc, etc) is only a tick faster accelerating than my friends Erevo on 22.2v/18t pinion/6.3 tires/1518 1800kv. Same results on 2200kv as well.


I would put money on it a gasser weighing less than 25 lbs with a race setup 26 or 27cc would be even better than my P2W. That was the first thing I noted when I built P2W was that it has the acceleration of an 1/8 electric AND it has more traction/controllablity on the high end in dirt and grass. Very fast!

That sure does sound like a fast setup. You should try running the Elcon front wheels/tires for the 5B. They are standard ole glue-ons so they're much lighter than any beadlocks I've held in my hand.
