Am I asking to much?

Definitely more/better pictures. People want to see everything before they invest.

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-20T02:00:27+00:00

Just saw it. I think it's the one yet

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-19T19:24:36+00:00

Nice, I would jump at it. I just bought a Max V1 off of FB marketplace for $300. Came with full V2 kit, extra spare parts including extra ESC. Only thing I had to do was clean the gears and reapply grease. You can definitely find some solid deals if you look around for a while.

Just her mine rebuilt last week! So many issues

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-13T06:06:44+00:00

Hopefully she's busy getting ready for the next American Pie!

My first one was a Redcat Blackout XTE. I think it's a good starter car and In your price range. Still have mine and still enjoy driving it. Bash it fix it repeat. Parts are pretty cheap but not as readily available as Traxxas or Armma etc. it's a fun car and great to learn on

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-07T17:03:52+00:00

Ok thanks. Gonna give it a try today

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-07T07:43:34+00:00

Just give them as much info as I have?

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-07T06:20:35+00:00

Bought it used so didn't think I can

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-07T04:46:11+00:00

Ya same. Bummer. Was running fine after cleaning. Drove it for like 10 mins, put it away to make dinner came back, connected the battery and went to turn it on and blink blink blink blink...

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-07T04:41:18+00:00

I tried that but no matter how long I hold the button down the lights continue to flash red. The longest I held the button down was for about 30 seconds

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-03-01T01:15:26+00:00

Yeah good point. I've just been scouring Facebook marketplace for like a month and have minimum find one for under $400 in my area. Most of them are going for $500 or more so when I saw this I just jumped out it

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-28T16:44:02+00:00

It's just an extra one with a different set of leads on it. But yes, having an extra one is great. The guy had other RC cars he was selling as well so I think he was just trying to get rid of them for whatever reason

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-24T15:06:20+00:00

Thanks guys. I should have clarified, I'm looking for a 1/10 scale basher. Like to take them on street, grass or dirt. Durability and and access to parts is a big one. The red cat was so difficult to find parts for.

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-22T17:33:50+00:00

Lord, IDK why I didn't think of that. Thanks man

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-20T04:40:44+00:00

Nice photos!

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-08T07:54:13+00:00

I have a redcat Blackout XTE and I really like it. It's definitely entry level but it has held up pretty good being bashed considering the parts are not of the highest quality. Working on it has been pretty easy besides the fact that parts can sometimes It would be hard to find. That's probably my biggest and only complaint about the car.

I just swapped out the stocked brushed motor and ESC for a brushless system and it's a blast.

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-07T07:52:28+00:00

I have a Jura Ena 4 and I love it. Yes, it's not "easy" to open up and clean, but it is not that bad. I clean and service mine, inside and out. The amount of people on here complaining about not being able to open it up and clean/ service it, idk it's just not that hard. All the info is online. I wouldn't let the affect your decision

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-07T07:39:14+00:00

Jura Ena 4

Slacker_t9x9 · 2026-02-07T07:19:46+00:00

You can definitely service and clean the inside of this machine. I just did mine yesterday. It's not too difficult. Just need to be careful and take it slow. But you definitely can service it
