With all due respect, I think in time you will like the Ecto more. The sway bar is NOT a hindrance, it controls roll. The stock rear suspension has huge amounts of travel. Without the sway bar, yes, you get more articulation, but you lose side hill ability, and climbing ability (helps control torque twist). Don’t prejudge the swaybar! Yes, the stock tires suck, and the electronics are enough to get it running, not much more. A 1080 makes this thing a new truck, and a coreless amazon servo improves on the stock servo (which I found a bit weak). Take the preload adjusters out of the front shocks, and add a little weight to the front. The rig is also quite narrow, and does well with a little spacing. Again, I cant emphasize this enough, the sway bars and trailing arms are one of the best things about this truck. Everyone changes out wheels and tires, so why charge for stuff people are going to throw away anyway?
We use Zeee batteries, they can be found here: 1500 mah - amzn.to/3NAPmil 2200 mah - amzn.to/42PsMa1 I would recommend the 1500 as they last about an hour depending on how trigger happy you are, and are on sale right now! 🍻🍻
Wow, I am so glad that I got my Ecto before I saw your video. You seem to have a problem with everything about the truck. Not sure why you even bothered, since you obviously didn't bother to read the instructions that came with the truck. Yes, the tires suck, but a set of Treal wheels and some Trenchers has allowed my Ecto (anyway) to climb rocks, logs and pretty much run over all the slow lizards in my yard. Anyway, thanks for trashing the truck right out of the box. Maybe you could give one of your many followers a chance to win it and take it off your hands.
Definitely need a interior sir 👀 thing looks pretty clean honestly. I've been thinking about grabbing one cause I love that body. 🔥 great video that's gonna make me buy one 😅
I have read a lot of reviews about this truck , and you are by far the most negative. I find your lack of profressionalism very unsettling, it is no surprise your video has very limited feedback from the viewing audience. You talk like a child who is upset with a bad birthday gift.
Awesome Unboxing and Review! I just love the ideia of this Ecto paint job!!!
We love the black with bronze behind it as well!! 🍻🍻
Indeed! Hope more RCs came whit that!!!
Keep the Good Work my Friend 🐼👍🏻

Thank you for the feedback! Hopefully it helps someone else looking at upgrading their truck!! 🍻🍻
Why is Redcat not making an 1/10 LCG 6X6?
🍻🍻
what battery are you running. Ordered my Eco today and it'll be my first 10th scale. Usually do the mini scale 1/18 & 1/24
We use Zeee batteries, they can be found here:
1500 mah - amzn.to/3NAPmil
2200 mah - amzn.to/42PsMa1
I would recommend the 1500 as they last about an hour depending on how trigger happy you are, and are on sale right now! 🍻🍻

We’re glad you’re liking the truck! 🍻🍻
Is it better than the phoenix out of the box?
There’s not an rtr truck I’ve used to date that comes close to beating the phoenix out of the box. 🍻
