Redcat Racing's Newest 1/10-scale Monster Trucks: Blackout XTE and Blackout XTE PRO
Redcat Racing has added two more budget-friendly 1/10 scale models to their lineup with the Blackout XTE and Blackout XTE Pro. If you have a need for some scale speed and a desire to rip up the road, these new machines might be perfect for you.
Both of these vehicles are shaft-driven, 4-wheel drive, 2.4GHz radios, and feature waterproof electronics. The Pro version steps up the performance game with a brushless motor (vs brushed in the standard Blackout XTE), a beefier steering servo, and included LiPo battery. Built for fun, both of these trucks are made to take a beating (within reason) and are ready for just about anything you can throw at them.
