I just received my dealer newsletter from Redcat Racing and it looks like prices will be rising slightly at the end of October. I still don't have all of the details but expect the 1/5 gas models to increase by approximately $20 each and the XB-E to go up by $30. Some parts prices may go up as well. If you are thinking about ordering something, you may want to do so before October 25.
Now for some good news, Redcat is releasing their 1/8 Scale Brushless "Pro" models. I've owned a Nitro Powered 1/8 Monsoon and was quite happy with it. Now, we can get them with the ease of use of brushless electric power. The Monsoon XTE Truggy, Hurricane XTE Buggy and Avalanche XTE Monster Truck will come RTR with a 2.4ghz radio, two 7.4v Lipo packs, 80amp ESC and I believe the motor will be 2400kv but Redcat hasn't listed the specs yet. Expect a street price of between $350 and $370.
