Would love to see a comparison between this and a DBXL. I'd imagine they'd be pretty similar if you put a Zenoah in the Redcar, with the Losi being slightly higher quality (but you have fork over a lot of dead presidents for that)

@GazooRC 2 жыл бұрын

I second this

@FarmerFpv 9 ай бұрын

DBXL has twice the power and a center diff. It will run circles around the chimera. Not to mention the DBXL is quite bigger this is more like a 1/6.5 Redcat is always scaling their cars bigger than they are. The DBXL has years of R&D behind it to make it a proven racing platform. It would not be fair to compare the Redcat Chimera to the DBXL. A fair comparison would be the 1/6 scale Rovan or 30 degree north buggy. Same price range and size and basic inexpensive parts.

Good price for a has rig you can rip around and do some mellow bashing with without breaking the bank. Never owned a red cat. Ive always thought a 5t would be my first 1/5 scale but they are so expensive.

@hybrid32494 2 жыл бұрын

hey man! Yes, you really can't beat the value on this rig, thing about the 5T is it's got a center diff and will never drift, plus costs a factor of 2 times more money. Honestly I'm happy with the cheaper straight 4WD setup of these models, and they are also easy to work on.

It must be GASMONTH because there is a lot of GAS lately. I can see the features on the gas models are slowly getting better. And now the question everybody wants to know. Chimera or 30degreeNorth?

@hybrid32494 2 жыл бұрын

hey bro! It's 2 Stroke Summer right now, all clear for NITRO and GAS! Good question on the chimera VS the 30 Degrees North Buggy. I find each has it's plusses and minuses. Both have no center diff, so that's the positives. I also prefer the open roll cage style body of the Redcat in this video, you don't need to take the body off to fire it up. The buggy seems to have some high spec electronics and a nicer radio.
