Is there any other way with Random Forests?
Yes, but not without more work. You can write the forest out to a file (with simple R code), and then write a stand-alone C code to read that model file and score the new data. The C function that scores new data from the model can be found in the source code of the package. Your C code just need to wrap around that.
