Machete has too much value to walk away from. It's a little smaller and can openly run more places. Redcat always gets treated like an afterthought, they try to get the best value into the hands of people economically. Please remember that. They want you to build, upgrade etc. Keep in mind it's at 40% the price...

Ive always been a fan of Redcat, They start out with great customer support and then follow up with comparable build quality vehicles at a lower price point for sure.

I own both trucks. I have had my XRT for about 3 years and am more accustomed to doing jumps and backflips. I am thusfar too paranoid to jump the machete, but that is likely to change. At hobby shops I have heard sonme negative commewnts on Redcat and most refuse to sell them. I find that odd, but I ordered mine online. Great video. new subscriber. o7

I'm a big fan of Redcat, still run my Earthquake 8E, and have my Shredder. Only mod to my Shredder is a dual fan and center brace. But I'm going to pick up a Machete and will see what needs to be modified. I'm a mild basher and don't run my car's during July and August. I also like Redcats' 10th scale lineup. Only Traxxas I currently own is the Drag Slash, and on 3s, it rips, but you will have to add an esc fan. But yeah, I'm going to pick up the Redcat for sure. I've been into rc since the early 80's , I'm one of the older guys out here still enjoying the hobby. Still have my Team associated 12 and 10th scale carpet racers and Tamiya Hornet, all still running.

Tbh, I think the Machete isn't comparable to the XRT.... could you do a comparison between the Machete and the Sledge?

I didn’t realize it at the time but I think your right. I think the machete is more comparable to the traxxas sledge.

at 55 and already owning a nitro 4 tec, I just want a electric rc truck to play with the grandkids when they are running their latrax cars,I am seriously considering a 4s machete...I know how hard it is to find anyplace to run the 4 tec top speed without breaking it every time....a big truck that will go 40 ish should be plenty...

I’d probably go with the red cat. I love to watch the big ole traxxas trucks rip but try at 68 to have enough lap to hold the truck while you wrench on it

Hey my friend, you are %110 correct on kevin talbot it would last him 3 mins lol, he completely destroys R/C trucks and cars, in the R/C community most people would not run there trucks and cars like kevin talbot, you don't get a honest review because every time he runs Anything it breaks and people get a unfair review, I love kevin funny smart, I cringe when he goes and run a a brand new trucks through the rain and mud etc, sorry I had to get that off my chest, thanks your friendly neighborhood hotel DOORMAN William from NYC FORGETTABOUTIT ✨️
