The RS10 is made by Red Cat Racing, It is more of an entry level rig than anything with limited aftermarket support. Are you looking to get into the comps or just use it for bashing around the yard? If your looking into getting competitive than I would say learn to drive this thing and then upgrade to something a little more advanced.

If you browse www.rccrawler.com, they have a RS10 section where people have build threads with detailed information so that you can get an idea of what aftermarket stuff people are putting on them. If you plan to compete you would need to remove the rear steer & would also benefit from running a dual esc setup w/ mixing for independent control of each motor.

The two local comp clubs are WPRCCA & WARCRC, both have great people and fun competitions. There's actually a WPRCCA competition in Long Beach, bring it out and come play:awesomework:

Was a trade for my harbor freight winch and some home brew long arms I bought a couple years ago at the Puyallup swap meet....:awesomework: And a few other odd's n in's... basically the guy was wanting to sell it to pay me cash for those parts but couldnt get any hits..:eeek: soo I just offered to take it in full trade...

Honestly, I just want it for when Iam out camping or just bored... So far Iam have a blast with it... But still spend more time fixxing it then thrashing on it..:redneck:

I have 2 speed controls.. one is the stock and the other is a aftermarket that he installed... He locked out the rear steer so he could go to a comp with it... not sure how it did with the lower links set up the way they were... I flipped them and have a **** ton more flex now... I can see it being a entry level rig... Perfect for me right now... Iam digging those scalier rigs.. I would like a realistic looking n functioning RC down the road...:awesomework:

Did you trade it to a guy named Justin? My buddy had one he traded for a winch, it had a RC4WD Outcry speed control I believe.

You will find out that flex is not everything, alot of times too much flex can actually make the truck perform worse.
