Finally got my Fusion fixed tonight. My 7 year old broke the carbon fiber frame about a week ago. Had it less than 48 hours. 😂😂

I like how these look as well!
did you go through the truck and check all the screws/hardware? I hear a lot of people saying to disassemble and reassemble using loctite where needed. I don't have a Fusion yet but just curious to see if you ran into any issues with loose screws etc.

Nope! No issues. Redcat suggests checking the pins in the front axles - but otherwise the truck has been solid.

Also check all driveshafts. I lost a pin from one of them. Just one wasn't loctite blessed

Which would you rather have the treal brass covers, or the redcat ones?

Both are solid products (and I wonder if they are made in the same factory...). Treal - 62g - $42 Redcat - 144g - $35 I *think the Redcat is total weight vs the Treal single. That would put the Treal at 62x2=124g. Sooo - the Redcat weight more and cost less. Seems like an easy choice!
Please new update on the yd2z rtr ❤❤ Any changes in alignment since the last video ?)
