cool video, but I think the only advantage you have on loose ground like mud, sand or snow where otherwise the normal axle would brake. The portals increase the center of gravity and you tilt more easily. That the stones fit all under the pumpkin can also be made with riding technique. The original Unimog is also intended for muddy fields and woods. if it gets too steep, the one with the highest center of gravity tilts first, unless you're too narrow.

Nice vid! Great job on close ups of what we want to see. I like the looks of the axles, but I would like to see a bit more material on the axle tubes and especially on the lower shock mounts. Did it look like the brass beef tubes would still fit? I have some in my stock Gen7 axles.

Exocaged RC. I suggested a stainless steel gear or to change it to a finer pitch(shallower tooth root) so there can be more meat where the axle is.

Yeah I’d prefer a rib on one side of the gear to tie in the teeth and better material. A good tool grade steel would probably be enough to take lots of abuse using the current tooth profile design.

I really really want to get a crawler now. Can you get super grippy form fitting tires so they don’t just spin out and actually grab like real tires with low air pressure do?
@ExocagedRC
@ExocagedRC 5 жыл бұрын
Yes you sure can, in fact with 2-Stage foams you can go further than you can with real trucks. The outside tread can be soft and conformal and the sidewalls can be stiff to prevent tire roll. One thing about these scale trucks is even the brushed ones have at least 1000 scale horsepower and brushless is way way higher so they can and will spin any tire you can put on it.

I thought about SCX10's but instead put in brass beef tubes, SCX10 aluminum C-hubs (elongated the mounting hole on the C-hub to work), and redcat high clearance steering kit. I could get a full 50 degree turning but the tires rub the spring on the shock. I dialed back servo for 43-44ish. Much better than stock, stronger, and nice weight down low. I was thinking about the TRX4 sport axles then these got announced. I am very pleased with my redcat products and would like to support the company (2 Gen7 pros and Everst 16 for scale ATV build).
@TerraQuestRC
@TerraQuestRC 6 жыл бұрын
going to be a whole lot easier to mount up than what I did, MST MPA's, should be cheaper to do as well. Didn't have the speed cut like that though. I like to crawl so not such a big deal and can always gear change the pinion/spur and use 3s if you want more stock speed. How was the steering affected? All in all, I say it is a good move for Redcat.
@ExocagedRC
@ExocagedRC 6 жыл бұрын
Steering was awesome compared to the stock one. Yeah my next drive is tomorrow with 22/44 gearing so let’s hope they live through that. Also yeah they did a great job on retrofitting these into an existing truck without jacking it up. The reduction in the portals is what makes them good, if the mst have no portal reduction then I doubt they will ever be in any of my trucks.
@TerraQuestRC
@TerraQuestRC 6 жыл бұрын
just rechecked, nope.. no gear reduction in the MST. I did re pinion it down though. I run 8 cell NiMH 5000mah for the extra weight up front, the additional voltage made it rollover too much if doing high speed turns so I pinioned down to 12t.
@ExocagedRC
@ExocagedRC 6 жыл бұрын
you can change the pinion in the axle?
@TerraQuestRC
@TerraQuestRC 6 жыл бұрын
sorry, no.. I re pinioned the motor to 12t. I was concerned as well about the top gear in the Redcat, see someone did break it. If some brass portal covers come out and C hubs, definitely see this as the better option than using MST MPA's. Also have to go to a shorter shock with the MST's, the lower shock mount is on top of the axle. Still its not a modification I regret doing.

I hope they WORK!!! 👍👍 Good, thorough assembly Video. These were definitely Designed more for Scalers and Crawlers, than Bashers.... Speed wasn't the main concern. I'd recommend staying with the Stock Axles if anyone needs Speed. For hardcore Crawlers, the reduction at the Axle (less Axle twist that way), are a Godsend!! Cain't wait to get mine... but there's at least one thing that needs addressing with the "Beta" Axles. The Panhard Mount makes it nearly impossible to get the right front Shock on. I do believe that Redcat will fix that, and maybe even larger Bearings and machined gears in the Portals.
