Redcat Racing Volcano-16 1/16 Scale Monster Truck | CompetitionX

Ok, so Redcat Racing has announced something a little different that merits a mention. Check out their new Volcano-16, a 1/16 scale Monster Truck that looks to be a mix of the Kaiju and maybe their RCMT10E.

What We Like:
I do like the fact that it’s a pretty meaty looking ride – body is sharp (loving the LEDs as well), threaded shocks, wheel and tire combo looks good and it’s an RTR – meaning you can just pull it from the box, charge the pack and go. The small size is also a bit of a plus – no need for massive spaces to run it. It’s also under the $100 mark which makes it super attractive for a first or second (or third) purchase.

What We’re Not Sure About:
The Volcano-16 comes with a 390 brushed motor and 800mAh Li-Ion pack, so I’m not quite sure how much ‘power’ this little truck will have. We’ve seen similar 1/16 scale rides with brushless and LiPo included, making them much faster and longer lasting (drive time). It’s combo receiver/ESC is also a downer – if you want to replace the power unit with brushless, you need to replace the radio system as well.

All in all, though, this looks like a fun little MT and, for only $99.99, it’s a great deal to get you started in RC!
