Thanks Troy, Really needed this this morning, so over whelmed and this took my mind of it all until i remember i need to put the Rival back together! and yeah of course it's not a race buggy, but dude that thing handles well on track, some tweaking, i bet you're up there with the pack.

Looks like it would actually do pretty well with some more suspension tuning. Seems a bit too stiff in this vid.

It is too stiff, and too high. It would need a set of springs at minimum.

Good run with the Kaiju at the track. Very interesting because I plan on getting one soon. Track set up to make it lower to the ground would be cool. Where you running 4s or 6s that day? Great video👍

That is rough.

I'm tempted to start racing. Been buying my parts from a local club manager and he wants me to start. I have a team magic seth slightly longer b8. After watching this I'm going to try a car I know rather than buying a race buggy. I love the raw videos bro. Keep them coming. Team magic probably built this car. As they make many for red cat

Nice vid, I love both my kaiju, they may not be arrma tuff but once you get the kinks worked out there like a blast… I mean stuffing a real 6s 8th scale power system into a rig that comes in almost a pound lighter then a max has to be fun! I just got my free replacement set of tie rods with the right metal from redcat. I hope the teething pains don’t hold back an otherwise promising and expanding platform. The kaiju fit a nice slot bigger and faster then 10th scales and smaller, lighter and more nimble then a full 8th scaler like a kraton

I agree 100%!!! This truck really is under-appreciated. It is a SOLID design and great performance.

I’m a newbie but what advantage do these tires have over stock? I have the same truck and I got a more aggressive set for mud and snow but I feel like the stock tires would be great for this

@RoadsideRC

A proper set of race tires makes a HUGE difference around a track!

The strength of an RC is only determined by how you use it. If you use an RC the way its intended to be used you shouldnt break anything like you just showed. its only when you push it that things start breaking, as you said you were able to get into the 21sec a lap range if you pushed any harder to keep up with the faster RCs you would probably have bought it home in pieces and as anyone will tell you "its impossible to have fun with a broken RC".

@@RoadsideRC I have been on and left many forums and FB groups where people continue blame the manufacturers for their RC breaking and in some cases, yes that is true as you pointed out in another video about this truck it was in fact a manufacturers error that was causing breakages. But I have found that in 9 out of 10 cases it comes down to people doing something the RC wasnt designed to do.

@@dirtdevilrcmotorsports I have to blame the manufacturer because I have the original Kaiju, v5 6s Tyhoon, Slash, TRX Bronco, Bigrock and Bezgcar 1/12 scale and have not broken any of them. The ext has half the range of my Original Kaiju and it loses reception peridocally and other times takes off on its own. I updated to a DX5C CONTROLLER and it continues to act up. None of my other rigs do this and it is obnoxious becsuse it ends up plowing into curbs and breaking the whole front axle and arm. It is not my driving it is the machine. Like you said, it is fun to drive when it works. Out of the box I hit 63 mph which is faster than the Kraton and Maxx but it is a shame it has these issues. The pinion gear periodically grinds as well. Not sure what the deal is but I got a defective one because the original has been phenomenal, an absolute tank with zero issues.

I have a traxxas slash 4x4 that I converted to a backslash so it's now a 1/8 scale e buggy I want to c if it can be raced

You have any problems with the steering ? I can't seem to get mines straight

@RoadsideRC

Жыл бұрын

With all of my Redcats - it seems the steering never self-centers quite right. I have not tested it, but I wonder if a transmitter and receiver upgrade would help.

So where did you feel you were losing time vs the faster vehicles? Looked like speed through the corners and punch for the jumps, but I am not sure if that was vehicle or driver? Also, did you get a transponder in it that worked with the track timing system?

@RoadsideRC

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I had a transponder in the vehicle to get the times. The truck is just heavier and taller than race-spec vehicles, and the general alignment is not set for race conditions. I was slightly slower everywhere.

Did you change or check the differential fluids? Any recommendations for oil weights? Nice video! What tires and wheels are those?

@RoadsideRC

All shock and diff fluids were still exactly as it comes from the box - no changes. The tires are these: amzn.to/3JSiRIl
