Redcat Racing LRH285 Designers Show Kit | CompetitionX

Redcat Racing LRH285 Designers Show Kit | CompetitionX

Redcat Racing has dropped a new hopping chassis on us, the LRH285 Designers Show Kit. This kit is available as a pre-built slider, meaning it’s assembled from the factory minus electronics (except the motor), body, wheels and tires.

The big deal about this chassis is the show-quality chrome covering everything on the chassis – chrome chassis, frame rails, transmission case and gear cover, front suspension arms, front c-hubs, V2 steering arms, front lifting bell cranks, steering tray, rear axle housing, center driveshaft and trunk pan. It’s ready for your electronics and your custom painted show body!

What We Like:
We’ve seen the work that’s gone into the bodies used on these cars (as well as the chassis), so it’s a not brainer from RR to offer a full-chrome packaged chassis to help kick start a custom build. Oh, and it looks cool. And it makes us want one now. The ultimate bling package!

What We’re Not Sure About:
That price seems a bit high seeing as you can get a full RTR – with electronics, wheels and tires and body – for about $400. But, since it is custom in the ‘right direction’ for custom builders, RR should have no problem selling out of them.
