Is bigger better? Redcat Racing is known for offering larger RC vehicles in their line-up and they just scaled up their crawler line with the TC8 Marksman. This new rig does share some components with their existing lines, but have made significant changes that make the Marksman perform different from the rest. The change in performance is not only because of the size and tweaks to parts, but because of the electronics too. There’s a surprise inside! John actually worked closely with Redcat to ensure that this rig is powered right and it comes equipped with a Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport 550 13T brushed motor! Do we have your attention now? We thought so, but before spoiling any more details, hit that play button to get details on the Redcat Markman you won’t be able to find anywhere else!

That's really cool that your motor and a decent esc is in a mainstream RC. I'm happy for you. Pretty soon you won't be known as a small company. Lol

@stratobungle 2 года назад

I read that it is painted rust brown on the inside so that when the exterior green paint gets scratched the underlying color shows as if it was primered. Also, the tires are licensed Interco SS-M16 tires (they actually have tiny bullet cartridges molded in between the side lugs). My thinking is that it would look a LOT better with the interior painted matte black, and the driver also detailed with some paint - and as a final touch I would try to find some way to make the front turn signals and rear taillights look more realistic - the stickers don't cut it. Otherwise, it's a pretty sweet truck, nice Jeepster-esque styling! (props for getting your first manufacturer tie-in, as well, John!)

@ericfaley9019 5 месяцев назад

I recently bought one. I bought mine because it looks exactly like a Jeepster/Comando. RedKat changed the grill from 7 slot to 5 slot I’m guessing so they didn’t have to pay licensing fees. I’m really impressed with mine. I personally think the tires tread is a little hard for where crawling at. But for general trail running and general crawling they work fine. There are videos on how to mod the tires. Over very happy with the rig. I really like the 550 motor.

@tonygregg6957 2 года назад

Looks like a really good setup, I'm interested to hear your opinion on the steering, RC review said it was pretty poor and would be difficult to improve.

@ConditionZero76 2 года назад

Unfortunately there is No improving it, his opinion or not, you either live with 10 foot steering radious or get stuck putting another $200 Hundred plus in Ar60 axles & the time to try & make them fit!! Huge let down on a truck that looks pretty sweet, blows my mind how these companies like Redcat can even possibly think anybody wants that!! I mean who works at these places 👍🏼

@tonygregg6957 2 года назад

@@ConditionZero76 well I guess the chassis / axle's were developed for a basher / bouncer and it's a consequence of that, they are beefy all round so movement is limited due to the thickness. Maybe some high clearance knuckles/hubs or something like that could be made.

I was a bit surprised to see you having your motor in a vehicle with a 1080 esc but I guess that goes to prove that you actually mean what you've said about it earlier.

Played with one at local hobby store. How do you fix the turning radius? It’s really, really bad. Other than that and the cowboy inside I dig it. Had actually gone to the shop with intent to purchase but didn’t.

@johnboy6955 2 года назад

I seen a video on rc reviews channel about this rig and I really like it the only fault I seen in it was the turning radius is completely awful a trx4 with about the same wheel base turned in like half the radius of the redcat but I’m sure there’s ways to modify it for better steering. But I absolutely love the fact it comes with a HH motor and 1080 esc.

@HolmesHobbies 2 года назад

Turning radius is the one area it's not fantastic on. Long wheel base and lack of Ackerman hurts it. Someone could come out with an Ackerman knuckle set and improve it.

@johnboy6955 2 года назад

@@HolmesHobbies yeah it looked like it needs something done. If nothing else maybe you could shave a little here or there with a dremel and get a little better steering radius

@@ConditionZero76 too many smart people out there with a lot more knowledge than me I’m sure someone will figure out how to get more steering out of it.

People talk down to on RedCat. But I think they’re only being brand snobs. The phanboiz are blinded by their unwillingness to look beyond their preferred brand. Look at what Red Cat has done in the crawler/scaler world in a short time. They have stepped up their quality, they are providing much better RTR electronics with brand name components! Holmes Hobbies, Reefs, Hobbywing Axe, etc… even their standard HexFly 25KG servo is better that most Traxxas, Axial, etc… RTR offerings. I applause RedCat working with crawler pioneers like you Johnrob. It’s shows an attention to the market that many of the mega corp crawler companies ignore. 👍🏼

John sorry to hear you worked with this very poor company; I wouldn't buy any produced from red cat ever. There RC vehicles are not worth the money. I have had experience with this company and to say the least it was not a good one. Poor parts support and no customer service at all. I'm sure your quality parts are the only thing worth the money but put on garbage they don't mean much to me. my son in law had a clawback and it didn't last one year axels broke and could never get replacement parts. Now we us it for target practice up northern Minnesota with our 9mm pistols. You are a trusted individual when it comes to Rc and electronics. Thank you
