Flamerush Rider, Set: Fate Reforged.
Do I have to pay the mana cost for the copy? say I copy a creature that has mana cost 1 red, do I have to pay 1 red for the new token?
I've seen rules saying copy spell that doesn't require the mana of the thing your coping but a friend said since it says creature you have to pay the mana cost.

You don't pay any costs to create a token that's a copy of a creature with Flamerush Rider. Likewise, if you copy a spell, you don't pay that spell's costs again for the copy (C.R. 709.10; see also this thread). (But see Rings of Brighthearth, Minion Reflector, and Riku of Two Reflections, which state explicitly that you have to pay a cost to create a token or copy a spell or ability with them.)
Flamerush Rider doesn't copy a spell, it has you create a token and that token copies some creature. Copying is a matter of inserting an effect into the game, which says to turn each of the relevant attributes of that permanent (in this case a token) to the value captured from the copied object (in this case an attacking creature) at the time the copying happened. Like snapping a photograph.
There isn't a way to come anywhere close to an argument that you have to pay anything extra as this happens.
