RC - Redcat Maiden Voyage

After waiting patiently for the Redcat to arrive from the USA, it finally arrived on my little paradise in the Lowveld bush.Show more

After two weeks of pimping my Redcat AXE, I took it into the garden for the first time.
It was exciting but also frustrating. Clearly, I have fine-tuning issues between the Flysky FS-GT5 and the ESC.
What was more noticeable was the fact that the drivetrain is very noisy.
It is also clear that I need weight on the front part of the vehicle. It rears up quite easily. I suspect that the spare tyre on the canopy plays a role here.

Here is a list of what I did;
Ordered the LED Kit and Rooftop Carrier.
Softened the tyres
Made and fit the Vinyl striping.
Applied some of the stickers.
Fit the Rooftop Carrier.
Fit the LED kit.
Fine-tune the EPA.
Check and tuned the ESC.
Replace the Velcro with magnets.
Paint the tyre Branding.
Fit the Spare Tyre on the roof.
Finally fit the rearview mirrors.

I like the looks of the vehicle.

Enjoy the ride, I am not into the super-realistic video making, for me, I want to maintain the reality that this is a RC vehicle.

Enjoy.
