Cant believe I'm going to order my first Redcat.☝️👍

Redcat has come a long way!! I was impressed by the Gen 8 and now this truck looks great!

My brushless Redcat Volcano was the RC that lead to my full blown RC addiction. That addiction however jumped immediately to Arrma, Traxxas, Kyosho, Schumacher etc... in large part because after breaking every freaking thing on that Redcat I was a professional at RC wrenching so nothing scared me. That being said I might have to finally add another Redcat, not counting my Scout II, to the collection. Thanks for making the time over the years for all the reviews they're great. Keep it up.

Wow definitely the best looking Redcat I’ve seen! Love the old Datsun style body & it appears to be very well designed!

I'm completely surprised with Redcat and this truck!! Great job here guys and an awesome review! thanks and keep em videos rolling =D

Cool thanks for the video been waiting for a in-depth review on this rig. Looking forward to the 6s runs.

You twisted my arm into buying a Kaiju. Great truck, and always a great through review.

I think RedCat did a awesome job on this unit , plenty of power and overall awesome drivetrain ! 👍✌️

Since I have 11 RC Trucks my wife said she'll "Let me" get the Kaiju under one condition, I sell one of my Trucks. So I decided to sell my Force RC Muckraker, I never use it since I'm afraid I'll break something and won't be able to find the part so now I've got a guy on the way to buy the Muckraker and as soon as he leaves my happy ass is coming back inside and ordering the Kaiju!

Definitely a cool truck! I like Redcat products! I have good experience with them. I have a Redcat camo x4 pro and it's a beast on 3s power ! Thanks for another great video. 👍👍👍😀

I know this is an old video, but man this truck has a really awesome transmission sound, and the fact it uses prove Hobbywing electronics is wonderful.

Very cool redcat I like the hobby wing components a lot . Very impressed by this truck .

That thing is Awesome 👍! Great Job!

Never heard that before either. Pretty cool truck, great review

I think it's time to buy my first redcat!🤩 thanx for review bro 👊

What a fantastic review as always. This truck looks absolutely amazing. It’s driving and jumping really well out there. Looks like Redcat took it to another level for sure. Hope to see this truck as a serious contender out there! I think the breakage wasn’t that bad. Myself, I know cold weather I live in Colorado and we bash year round. I feel cold weather plays a big part in carnage. So that’s to be expected I think. I hope the upper link isn’t a super weak point but bad landing on a triple in cold or warm might break anyways. I can’t say enough how well you do your videos. The attention to details, the research, the in the field action, thank you so much for always being so meticulous and thorough on all the rcs you show. Just a wonderful job you do. Cheers!

Redcat just keeps getting better and better.

I'm definitely wanting one of these. Thanks Greg

Wow! It looked pretty good 👍 Short wheelbase and high CG makes for a stunty truck 👌

Awesome truck awesome review 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Great video looks like a beast!! Redcat is a great company and you cant beat the quality for the price and especially the customer service!! Looking forward to see it on 6s🤘🍻

Nice. I've been waiting for more info. The prefect channel to out about this!

i cant wait to get my hands on one of these!!!!

I have RedCat rock crawlers and I’m definitely getting this rig. Yes, below freezing temps make the hardest plastics break. But, nonetheless it held up great to your driving off them ramps. Great video!

Someone hasn't watched old monster movies. Truck looks cool

Nice first review and I really like the body on this truck very old school square Chevy look to it to me. It looks well built if it reviews fairly well I will be picking up one it’s a great price point for what looks like a quality built truck. Looks like plenty of power on 4s

Into was great immediate carnage lol this thing 6s crazy I am getting this for the channel great content guys

great review as always!

I love it! Great Job REDCAT! I see us selling a ton of them

Definitely buying one when I get the money

Kaiju. sneezed. Bless you.

Best truck i ever had fun beast!!!!!

I first heard the term Kaiju on the movie Pacific Rim. The body style of this truck kind of reminds me of the shape of the old school Losi Jr-T, but in 8th scale. Love that body.

Looks good,tempted lol

Like always great job

Love your channel long time fan.

Got to love how I got to spend extra for metal driveshafts while this is cheaper and has them

Great review!

KAIJU is the alien life from the movie Pacific Rim, I love mine great review and bash Greg 😎👍

I have been looking at all the mt in this platform and set up simple and useful

it looks like a cross of the traxxas maxx and the arrma outcast

400 dollars is fantastic for a 6s capable truck! Redcat has got a winner here I believe.

Great video RC DRIVER👊💥👍 now I need to get another rig🥴

Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and the upgraded parts just add powerful batteries and charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

That rock at 8:52 was on a kill mission!!

Looks cool

Cant wait to get mine. I think 4s is plenty. Man 6s would be over the top. I don't think you would be able to keep the front end down! Great review!

I accidentally ran mine in to a mailbox post at full speed on 6s and only broke the front arm and bent the sway bar.I thought for sure it was destroyed but the Redcat took that lick like a champ.Traxxas and Arrma better pay attention to Redcat because they are coming up fast!

Yea the upper A-Arm is definitely a weak point but a super easy fix. 6s is where it’s at with the kaiju. I Love this truck I play with it more than my XMaxx... super fun

Looks like an emaxx with xmaxx towers and those shock protectors from the stampede 4x4.

that is awesome of Redcat... the mesh sounds tight. did you get a chance to check it ? you have the best RC review channel i ever seen.

It looks good

Awesome video bro very Informative on the next video if possible me and others would like to see a size comparison thanks bro 👍🏾💯 Rcfam4life

Have this truck on order already...need this 6s Monster. Would like to see Redcat come out with a speed run truck/car so I can run against my buddies

Ya, me 2 I like it a lot !! Sometimes u gotta think and try something new !?! Other than a aTraxxasXmass ?!? U Go REDCATT !!! We'll keep watching & and buying with Rc products & good reviews like this 1 ... Cool thanks 👍👍👍 all...

Interesting RC. Small for 1/8 and the Datsun like body is an odd choice. Might pick one up after more videos. Electronics seem solid. I really like the look of those wheels, aside from the color.

Got mine!

I think we all want to see 6s

TrashCanNinja Yup, parts on order for the 6S follow up video.

Looks like a decent truck and considering it's mostly plastic, it's probably lighter than the outcast 6s and can get along better on 4S. Would have to guess 6S would be a tad much for it. I didn't catch if it had a center diff or not, will have to check and see. If RPM made arms for it, that would make it even more enticing.

Great looking truck that's the same hobbywing combo I have in my Mt 410 that set up is crazy on 4s be scared to try it on 6

Sounds like a Arrma 3 and 4s Vehicle’s! Everyone Gunning to get Arrmas Spot! 😏

That is Definitely a Mean Offering from Redcat! Looks Impressive! Hopefully Redcat has Parts and Hop Ups for this also?! A Really Nice Looking Build from Redcat! 🤗

It has a lot of similar features to an x-maxx! I love my x-maxx so if these things hold up I’m going to get one😃

I never paid no mind to Redcat till they came out with the Gen8 International Scout, I've been a fan of the Scout since I was young, but the gen7 version and earlier just weren't that appealing to me on a chassis viewpoint. This monster truck looks pretty durable and with reliable electronics seems like it's going to be a hit in the RC market. Hopefully the aluminum servo arm is an optional upgrade like the TRX4 with their aluminum arm. I'm sure there is aftermarket support in that area, but I'd rather have the guess work taken out of it as some aftermarket arms are too long or too short. Next weak spot I see is the shock standoffs. I'm guessing this truck is in the 8-10 pound realm without batteries and feel like they should be a little thicker. The only other thing I don't like about it is the body, which can obviously be changed, but would be the first to go for me. Chassis looks like it's pretty well built and other than the few things you said and what I feel like are weak points, it's probably a good value. It's honestly about time Redcat got into more people's radar, including mine. I never owned a Redcat and don't know anyone personally who does. I know their website could use a little bit of an overhaul, at least last time I looked about 1-2 years ago. Lol. Nice review Greg, if not for you, I wouldn't have checked this Redcat out.

Greg you always do a excellent job showing off these new trucks but can I request one thing that would help alot? Could you put it next to a couple rigs to show the scale of it for future new releases? Maybe put it next to a 10th scale and a 8th scale truck to give us an idea of thr size? It would definitely help the potential buyers. Just throwing it out there. It would be my only request to add to these already derailed overviews. Thanks! Also Greg any chance you can do a video on how you clean your trucks?

I reckon 4s will be the sweet spot ......6s will cause all kinds of breakages.Looks a decent truck I like the retro body

You can always tell the difference between red cat and team redcat. Looks like it's 1/9 scale? Please review the team magic e6 v-gen it's the newest version of the e6III and all the parts will fit the redcat be6s . Lots of awesome upgraded parts. 👍👍💪

I haven’t seen any videos of this truck and it’s hill climbing capabilities… could you add that test in 1 of your videos ? Great review btw 😎🤙🏼

That’s a beast on 4S, you might need some Dramamine to film it on 6S! Throw some paddle tires on it and cross a lake...

Buy one so good you will i recommend up upgrading the servo arm

I bought the Shredder as my first Redcat r/c. My question to you here is, did you have any problems finding the parts you needed to make repairs (right away) after this video was posted??? Or, will we have to wait for the usual time it takes for spare parts to be provided by the manufacturer? Thanks, awesome demo of this vehicle. I think I'm getting one soon!!!

I have the hpi savage and on the colder days the plastic parts are brittle. Btw can you compare this truck to a different 8th scale truck? I think it's kinda small to be honest because of the specs.

Liked n shared video

I think most of us wanna see it run on 6s n see how it holds up to the power, also i've been running those Amazon special servos in a few of my rigs n its been good. I think a lot of people will hold off till they see how durable its gonna be

STEVO D 313 For sure. I had plans to show it on 4S and then on 6S. I had four 4S packs with me and two 6S. Unfortunately I got a bit carried away while I was having fun and broke the truck. I probably should have been a bit more conservative. Things happen. I’m going to revisit it for sure.

I have had my Kaiju for 3 days and I’ve beat the hell out of it .. my only issue was the front bumper also

18 degrees outside. I never ever ever bash when it's that cold. Especially try doing double and triple backflips. 30° I'd think about it but 18° no way. I really don't think you can fought the plastic for breaking at 18 degrees. Also it seems like it doesn't flip over very often. Seems very planted. Great video can't wait to see you run it on 6s

Garett Bodel Yup, the handling is pretty dialed. I drive with one hand for the videos and it was easy for me to control. I hate the cold and try not to test in such extreme temps, but I have a backlog of cars to review and there is a lot of interest in this one so you do what you gotta do sometimes. Thanks for watching!

But ya this red cat is stout rig I think it could take on the traxxas maxx

this is a proper monster truck looks is bang on and performs as a monster truck would and has been built just right for the price, i wished other brands would be like this i think redcat and team corally are there but traxxas arent anywhere close, arrma is almost there, mst is amazing havent had other branded rcs but what i can tell there not as good for price wise in my opinion anyone agree?

would you be able to tell me the wheelbase on that body? roughyl center to center? i love it but the website doesnt show the dims.

Check out the movie Pacific Rim. This truck looks promising.

Damm all quality components

Very nice first look at the truck, Greg! I'd like to hear your thoughts on ease of repair and maintenance when you do your follow up review 😎 Not sure what they were thinking by using deans plugs on a 6S capable rig. Those would be my first change. Any idea what the stock diff fluid weights are? How about diff access? I run mostly Arrma trucks so I am used to how easy they are to work on 😎👊👍

Seriously considering getting one of these, looks like a Bad A** basher.

does this come with a metal spur gear> or is it plastic? thanks

That's pretty sharp man I wonder if those tires and rims would fit on the Traxxas E-Revo 1/10 scale I think they would look sharp on their man just like the Badlands 👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Any chance of getting some measurements of the body? :) Us rock crawler guys are dying to know. LOL!

Do you know of a truck that has simar parts? I've broken a front uppper control arm and am looking for better replacements

Wow, all that abuse at 18 degrees and only 2 minor breaks. That's great. I'm an huge Arrma guy but this thing looks great and would probably buy it over the 3s Granite and definitely over the Traxxas Hoss or even the Maxx

Oh yeah by the way, are they coming out with another color?

1:24 did I hear gear slipping? Yep. You can hear it in the very last shot at the end of the video. I get the feeling 6s is going to tear this thing apart.

how does it compare to the maxx?

What truck is this truck suppose to be similar to ? I have an idea but I’m not sure what one you might be referring to ?
