Overview Of The Redcat Blackout XTE Pro Monster Truck
Redcat Racing Blackout XTE 1 10 – Fun For All
Soon you will discover that driving this vehicle is what you have always been looking for in the RC hobby world. You have everything ready, the battery is charged, the remote controller has fresh AA batteries and you brought along a spare battery for longer driving time. You turn the RC on, it connects to you’re remote and now you are all set to squeeze the trigger. The moment you have been waiting for since you ordered your brand new Blackout XTE Pro 4WD Monster truck. You have you’re spot located and have arrived where you want to run this RC Monster. You park your vehicle, pull the RC out of the back and walk to the selected driving location. The vehicle is on and ready to kick up some dirt. You squeeze the trigger and the beast takes off throwing a nice rooster tail high into the air. It is at this moment all of life’s worries fade away as you focus on the trail ahead of you.
While driving along the path you use accurate steering and throttle pressure on the Blackout XTE Pro 4WD monster truck exactly where you want it to go. You discover its excellent performance and innovative chassis design make the XTE Pro a unique RC vehicle. Its chassis has several components that are interchangeable such as the: hub carriers, gear boxes, turn-buckles, differentials, steering hubs, body post and suspension arms. Each of the four suspension arms on the XTE Pro can be used at any corner of the chassis. You read correct, one lower suspension arm will work on the front-right, front-left, rear-right or rear-left of the vehicle. This is true also on the lower suspension arms and steering hubs. The hub carriers are interchangeable front to rear, as are the diffs, gear boxes, body mounts, turn-buckles and the bumpers. Redcat Racing Blackout XTE 1 10 – Fun For All 
Another item you will discover is that this vehicle is equipped with a powerful 3800KV RC540 brushless electric motor, with a waterproof 45A brushless ESC, However though this does not mean the waterproof parts make the vehicle completely submersible, comes with a 7.4v 3200mAh LiPO battery pack,
nice to have a second for extended driving time, LiPO charger, and the now standard 2.4GHz radio system, this is what requires the AA batteries, which can be picked up just about everywhere. As you can see the Blackout XTE Pro monster truck comes pre-assembled and RTR, (ready to run) out the box, all you need is some AA batteries. This incredible vehicle will provide you with loads of excitement, at an affordable price while the interchangeable parts will save you time and money in the cost of having to replace broken parts. Did I mention that this vehicle has a top speed of 35mph. Although this may not be NASCAR race speeds, trust me when you’re driving along a dirt trail 35 is fast enough, especially when you have to look out for trees, thick bushes, concrete curbs and other very hard objects that appear out of you’re blind spot. There are hidden objects out there that leave you wondering, “How did that get there”, or “Who put that there and why”. No need to worry though because there are several interchangeable parts that can be switched around to keep you driving.
Blackout XTE Pro also comes with oil filled coil over shocks and 4WD independent suspension which allows the XTE Pro to keep its composure as you drive over the rough terrain and as you are blasting around a vacant lot, local race track or you’re front and back yard. No matter where you are driving this vehicle will keep a smile on your face while you are outdoors enjoying life even if its only for a few hours. I say hours because you have a few extra fully charged LiPO batteries on hand.
Like most things in life the thrill and excitement come to an end as the battery nears the end of its charge, but you get to extend this time if you have extra batteries on site, even so after all the batteries charge come to an end you will pull the Blackout XTE Pro to your feet, you hear your chest relax from the excitement and the air returns to a normal pace in your lungs. After spending this memorable time of driving you realize you have just experienced the fun that comes with the Blackout XTE Pro 4WD monster truck and can’t wait to return home and prepare for the next outdoor adventure. Your mind begins to think of the next location you want to drive through and what to bring with you to make your experience even more enjoyable. Maybe bring your lawn chair and a couple of beers, If you’re to young for drinking beer in public then you bring a root-beer instead. LOL Definitely something refreshing, and a snack. Have your mom make you a sandwich.

Which you will be happy about because now you will have that extra needed space for you’re spare LiPO batteries and an extra pack of AA’s. Life just got better.

8 AA Batteries for Remote Control
This is literally all you need to purchase outside of what comes with this vehicle out the box. Where can you find AA batteries you may ask, the answer is very simple, just about anywhere. If you need them while headed out to you’re favorite spot and you somehow forgot them, simply stop at a local convenient store on the way. If you ran out before leaving home grab some from another toy you are no longer using, there has to be a pack somewhere in your house or garage. Nothing to worry about and definitely not a deal breaker.

Although this may not be the fastest RC vehicle out there but when you get it out in the open fields trust me its fast enough.
Let’s Take a Look at Some Customer Reviews
Redcat Racing Blackout XTE 1 10 – Fun For All
How good is it? What do you like best about it? Any Problems? Would you recommend it?
WICKED FAST, great 1/10th scale RC truck. Looks and runs great, and super fast. Destroyed the 1st one they sent when I blew the steering servo using a battery that was too strong, but I had so much fun with it that I ordered another. Being more careful with this one using the proper battery because I would like to get my money’s worth out of it. LOL. Having a blast running it up and down the block when I go to my mother’s place to visit and all the kids love to hear it screaming back and forth down the street. Looking forward to racing my buddies’ traxxas in the coming weeks for bragging rights.
Very happy so far. At this price point this is an awesome little truck. I mean it’s not a traxxas but it’s not priced that way either. My biggest complaint so far is the wheels and tires. I didn’t like the look, just kinda like they said ah that’s good enough. Easy to remedy though I put a set of black chrome rustler wheels on it, they completely change the attitude of the truck
Not a bad vehicle, to fast for a starter though. I just purchased this vehicle. The description gave on Tower Hobbies is incorrect. The vehicle does not use 4mm Banana connectors, They come with a Deans-T plug off of the ESC. And for some reason the car comes with a banana to deans connector, its useless in my case.

The vehicle is nice and well put together, the thing I do not like about it is the response time of the remote, when you go from forward to reverse there is a long lag time between gears, it is not instant like on most RC’s, I will definitely be upgrading the transmitter and controller soon. And when I got mine out of the box the rear wheels both had toe-in, at first I was thinking “what’s wrong here” but it should be that way I guess it helps control coming out of corners and going straight.
Having loads of fun zipping it up and down the street. Wasn’t expecting to be disappointed, but with plastic shocks why wouldn’t I be. I bought this as a gift, his first RC car, for my 12 year old son. I have common general knowledge about RC cars, so I knew what kind of specs I was looking for. The blackout had pretty solid reviews across many retailer sites, and Redcat has a multitude of options and pretty large variety of models and variations among st them. So here we are, Christmas day, it was just brought out for the first time and the coil housing on the left suspension rod already snapped leaving it inoperable until the shocks are replaced. I am sorry but why use plastic housings on shock absorber’s? That is more disappointing than the fact that my son is s.o.l. for the time being. I expected better quality on one of the most important parts of great handling and performance.
Not bad for the price. First let me say I have been into RC for about 30 years. Most of which is with RC cars. I picked this up as an early Christmas gift for a friend who was very new to radio-controlled cars. Anyway I told him he would probably break it on the first run. And he did. Good thing that parts are easy to get. This thing can get out of hand very fast if you’re a beginner. I would suggest a one over on this before actual run. Check all the screws and nuts. Check the wheel camber and toe. Doing so will make this a bit more easy to handle. It lacks some little extras that some of you’re higher end brands have that make them more durable. Not to say this in not durable because it is for the most part. Just don’t do any crazy jumping with it that some other brands can handle.
Me You Super Fun Happy Number One Go Fast Now! I’ve been avid R/C ING since 1980 back then you would spend a thousand dollars on this stuff, assembled in kit form, every thing purchased separately. Now, RTR brushless motor, 2.4 radio with lithium battery and charger for only $230? If anyone complains about this product at this price they are sincerely ignorant about R/C stuff. This is the best! You will not find any better R/C stuff for any less!
AWESOME!!!!!! We bought this car for our son for a Christmas gift. He could not wait, so we got it out. This car should be selling for five or six hundred dollars! Its fast, very fast when you buy the 3s Lipo battery. We love it! If you’re looking for something, go get it now!
