Needs to hop

If you are looking at a red cat racing RC please read this…I have been into RC roughly 20 years, in that time I have seen a lot of changes in technology, features and quality. Quality seems to be at an all time low these days and is a general issue that spans all the major brands. Why is this relevant? Because Red Cat Racing is the worst offender of them all. They have always been known for their “affordability” which is just a marketing term for low quality. However, with the Lowrider lines price point, you exit the acceptance of low quality. I will list off the pros and cons of this vehicle but I assure you is the case with the entire lineup.Cons:• My body arrived damaged, when you consider that this car is 80% aesthetics, even the smallest imperfection on the body is an issue. I contacted red cat and was told to ship the body back, once they “see movement” they will send a replacement. I asked if they could send me a new body with a return label in the box, once I received the new body I’d send the old one back. They said no it was against company policy, I then asked if I put a card on file and they don’t receive the body they can charge for me the new one. Again they said no.. when I asked why they were making this my problem, they said because it’s policy. After reviewing the 8+ photos with damage in close to 20 areas, they should have at the minimum made it as little of an inconvenience as possible on a $400 novelty RC car. I shipped the body out and heard nothing, I waited a few days after it was delivered and called back, I was told it was sent out but when I asked for tracking the story changed (to be fair the second rep was really nice and fixed the issue that day). What bothered me was they put their issues on me and left me with a $400 brand new brick and called it shipping damage. The body had “x”s in all the windows where they used a razor blade to cut the window masks, chips in the paint, and scratches on the inside of the body prior to being painted. This was not a shipping issue and was just bad QC. I ordered a brand new body online as I assumed red cat would take forever and surprise! The new body arrived damaged as well.• Upgrade parts such as chrome/gold for this are extremely cheap quality. The mold marks are very prominent and it somehow makes the car look more cheap.• A lot of parts such as the servos, servo mounts, suspension etc. need to be replaced in order to make these rigs operate in the way they’re advertised. The issue with that (aside from the fact it shouldn’t “need” anything out of the box) is these parts are made by community makers and not any hopup companies. This means you pay a premium for parts that were cobbled together in someone’s garage out of knock off RC parts.• The design makes this thing a PIA to work on. You have to take 4 things off to access the 1 screw you need. It doesn’t balance well on a stand or even a bench due to its weight distribution and chassis design.• Overall the cheapest quality possible.. plastic parts that snap together instead of bolting together, plastic that flexes if you sneeze near it, casting lines on everything for that “ultra scale realism” and noisy like a tin can filled with kidney stones.• The screws.. even the screws are trash quality. You get 1-3 removals from each screw. The metal is so cheap they will ALL strip immediately, they have to be made out of recycled cigarette butts or lead.Pros:• It looks dope once you get a clean body, trim the body mounts, cover the interior, swap the plastic pressed shocks, replace the links with steel, change the wheels, redistribute the weight, change the servos and mounts and purchase a pin stripe sticker kit.• The transmitter is really good considering the state of the car itself. It feels good in the hands and everything was designed and laid out with a lot of thought,• It’s fun to play with and really shines indoors.Conclusion:If you are on the fence with any model lowrider, please understand there WILL be cosmetic and mechanical issues. Red cat will not take direct responsibility and you will have to jump through hoops to get it resolved. I’ve seen so many people reporting damage to the car/box for the new gold digger 64s (which is at the $650 price point). I don’t mind spending the money if the quality is there but with these it isn’t. It seems as most the people who buy these have little to no experience in the RC world and just don’t know that this isn’t acceptable. Every company has issues, bad runs, defects etc. but it’s how they handle it that matters. Red cat needs to do better or stay in the lower end price brackets if they can’t get their quality control in order.

My son got this for his birthday in house play only ! He isn’t one to play hard on toys at all he received it on Augest 4th and the spring and a part that holds the spring has already broken not happy at all

This is NOT a toy for children. Out of the box one of the springs that hold the batteries in the radio- was broken. And I haven't driven it much and already had a servo burn out...Be prepared to buy upgrades.

Just bought my son one for Christmas and the electronics seem to have issues, doesn't always drive as if no signal is getting to the car from the remote and will consistently not steer. Car will work once in a while but not very fun when you can't really drive and play with it when its always losing signal or having servo issues, not 100% sure what the issue is but it's only a day old and shouldn't be having these problems!!!

The media could not be loaded. Llegó exacto el producto, llegó en un tiempo de 15dias,lo malo es que toda la carrocería es de plástico pegado con cinta doblé cara y si se siente muy fragil
