This is a rad angle to take on RC videos. Kooks may take offense, but this is a great way to learn about the hurdles average builders run into, and you do actually give solid advice on over coming these issues. Even seen you 3D print custom stuff to help. I like that you don’t suck, please continue

How’s it going Yep ? I’ve got a Scx24 that I tried to copy your VW build with and would like to send it to you for your opinion. I bought the playmobile car and transformed it the best I could following some of your videos. Although I did a few things differently I think you will like it. It’s my tribute build. All it’s missing is a Yep sticker.

i love your series of roast em brother.. i too have a redcat slightly built.. rims links and driveshaft upgraded only.. i had the issue with the shocks opening up as well and whet i have done was taken out the springs and ran a thicker oil to deduce the dampening of the suspension.. p.s. keep this series going
@CasitascrawlersАй бұрын
I’m sure terrain has something to do with it but what are the benefits of a heavy rig I know in 1:10 scale it can help keep it planted & the tires digging in. It seems like when the mini crawlers are to heavy it’s harder for the back wheels to get up really steep rocks once up it s ok but gets up seems like a lot more work but that is a wide open subject. I’d like to see a heavy rig & a light rig taking the same lines to get a good look. And you are correct I’ve seen the Redcat perform with only a few upgrades pretty well. One of the bad things is the chassis hits on one of the supports limiting its travel. Overall for the price it’s pretty good.

The color combo doesn't work unless you are a comic book villain, and I would agree that it didn't seem much different than the stock one. That's not necessarily a bad thing but it needs some more tuning and adjusting. Venting the tires with the right flubs can make a difference, and limiting the travel can drastically change how a rig works. It looks like a nice build that needs to be tuned and tweaked to get it to work as well as it should.

@dantrivett8435Ай бұрын
I think if you went back to the plastic axle in the back and checked the weight front to back you might be able to take some weight off the front to help lighten it up. Another thing you could do is go with a smaller battery to help with weight

might need low range geara because ive tried the nano bam, venom, micro komodo on my ascent 18 with python pro, lizard pro, lizard v2 rockwolf and still does that weird motor stutter on very slow crawl. I thought it was a FOC thing but EVERY brushless motor has done that. I currently have my ascent 18 with a injora mb100 and meus racing 102 turn brushed motor.

I believe this weight is around the max limit of that venom motor. I have the same motor and I added weight and the motor developed a similar issue with slight stuttering under decent load. My truck was heavy before around 600g but the added weight to 700-800g I think finally pushed it over the limit. Also do you know anywhere that has Jconcepts ruptures in stock I want those tires but I havent been able to buy them any where for months.

I was wondering why you didn’t like how the Stock Redcat performed. Did you not run it long? I do think applying all of the after market upgrades that can be done on these would add too much weight like you mentioned. Another thing that you mentioned that seems correct is the front susp has way too much drop. The over all weight and front suspension keep this from being a weapon on the rocks. I have this truck in stock form with heavier wheels and it’s impressive to say the least. Love your videos dude. I’ll bet some grocery or drug store is looking for their missing hand basket. Looks like you did a great job at decoying that as well. 👍🏻😂 Any how keep up the great content dude! Me likee!🙌😜
