dancheeRidgeRunner - 4WD Electric Rock Crawler - 1/10 Scale - RTR, Blue

I recently got back into RC cars after several years. I have always loved crawlers but the price used to be out of my range. Imagine my shock to see this RTR for such a reasonable price. I worked some OT and ordered this straight away. I am blown away. The remote works great and is super easy to setup and run. It is well laid out and very responsive to the slightest touch (can be a bad thing if you're not careful). The vehicle is an incredible performer. It will crawl like a car 5 times the cost. It has amazing features and can be used from everything to casual driving to intense rock scaling. It has a huge assortment of mods that can be done if you wish, or run it straight out of the box and keep it stock. It has good power and torque and can really climb beyond the physical limits of it's design. The only issue I see is the tendency to be a bit top heavy, and the mini Tamiya connector (adapters are available and pretty cheap). The Li Io battery lasts about 45 mins. of hard running. Tires are good for my terrain (smooth rock, gravel, dirt, wood) but could be a little softer and grippier. I have ordered some different tires to play around with. All in all this is way too much fun and can handle 45 deg smooth wood inclines. It is easy enough to run for beginners, but has enough features and is up-gradable for advanced drivers. I would not hesitate to get any of the other offering from Redcat (I actually also purchased the Ridge Rock at the same time)

The media could not be loaded. I'm just now getting into the hobby of RC cars and I bought this rock crawler and I really like it it does well the only dislike that I have is that possibly it doesn't have enough weight so that is my next step to put some weight on it new tires I've already replaced the servos motor is fine my next step is to replace the tires which are coming on Monday and I'll send another video and do another review after I get those things done to the truck and hopefully that makes it a better running truck other than that it's great for the money if you upgrades and you got a monster

This is a true large 1/10 scale rc rock crawler. Not like other brands that claim to be 1/10 scale and are nor. This Crawler has great traction, and tons of options as far as steering all straight out of the box. I posted photos of the different steering options that are controlled all by the remote! It even has a dig function that works well and portal axles!! I am upgrading both steering servos to Redcat racing 25 kg "who makes this Rock Crawler" just because I want more steering power. The factory servos are just fine for most people. Also upgrading the steering linkage to aluminum as well, all because at times I noticed the rear steer will turn slightly when crawling harder obstacles when you have front steer on only. There is also an extra 3 plug spot on the ESC to plug in maybe some lights which I plan to do as well as metal front and rear bumpers. This is not an expensive Axial or Traxxas however it provides features that they don't out of the box for far far cheaper. I run mine I 2s lipo for long crawling times. I may upgrade the motors but I'm not sure they need it. You should not be disappointed with this more scale looking RC Crawler.

A great starter crawler! I have had so much fun with this on many types of terrain. The 4 wheel steer is definitely a game changer, and allows this truck to handle much better than a budget truck should.Best Christmas gift ever!

Seriously great value. This is my fifth crawler and easily the best bang for its buck. It’s very light, though, so adding weight is a good idea (portal axle covers and brass components go a long way).Also, you may want to go with a higher kg servo in the rear to make sure it steers straight. It’s not the quickest crawler, but, I mean, it’s a crawler with a single gear speed and if you steer with all four wheels at high speed, well, you can flip it. Adding a light kit is fun for night crawling adventures. But again, excellent value if you want to get into RC cars and crawling. And it’s a ton of fun upgrading parts.Oh, and get yourself a real, full size LiPo, 2S battery. The one it comes with is kinda silly, though it does work well to give you a taste of its potential.

The truck does amazing for the price. But I've had a gear fail me in the front axle. Redcat was very polite and offered to help me file a warranty claim to get new ones. But the time it takes to do that and wait on the plastic gears just for me to take out 10 screws to just access the gears it would pay to order the metal gears. The suspension links hang way low. The steering link is super flexible. But for the price it does great. I would buy another.- Update. I had two front shocks leak and told Redcat about the front drive gear chirping still. Redcat was so polite and are sending me two shocks and METAL upgrade gears for FREE. Now that is amazing customer service! Great little truck but even better costumer service! My next buy will be another Redcat!

Great RC crawler. I have 4 rc vehicles. 2 nitro and now 2 lipo. First crawler I've bought and it's great. Redcat puts out some great rcs at a reasonable price. This thing is a lot of fun.

this is a fun and capable truck
