The original Kaiju was a pretty good truck that just had a few flaws. It looks like Redcat has addressed all the issues. I picked up the latest version of the Kaiju with the latest updates to make it more reliable. Let's see how it ran!

    I just ordered one maybe 2 weeks ago. I couldn't fit my 6s pack in it. So I added additional straps. On my first run 3 mins in, flat surface. I ran into a small rock, very soft hit...there went the right turnbuckle. If I return it, how can I make sure I have the latest version?

    Mt410 still can break, just as any basher can and will break. It is a top of the line kit for sure but to pretend it’s bulletproof is laughable. Watch Rich Duperbash videos, he’s got a mt410, and it’s broke parts just like any other basher.

    MAXX is a huge letdown. Clumsy rollover machine that cases on tiny bounces. Just a complete POS to drive and overpriced by $250. Kaiju is the best bang for the buck in this category. Tekno MT410 is the best truck if you have the MAXX budget.

    It has a shorter wheelbase than my vanquish vs410 Phoenix axel to axel. That's a 1/10 scale. It may be wider but it's definitely not longer than many 1/10 scale vehicles. Most 1/10 are 313mm wheelbase this is 308mm if I remember correctly.

    They refer to it as an eighth scale because of it's power potential moreso than it's actual dimensions. For instance, how many rc's in this catagory have a 6s system with a hobby wing setup like that? Pricing just the ESC and the motor for this is insane, on a great day I'm seeing $150 for the pair, and those deals disappear as fast as I find them. Frankly, I see the Redcat Shredder as a wasted opportunity, as I would have put the Kaiju system in the Shredder too. Maybe someday when I have a bunch of extra money, but I just bought the Kaiju 2 days ago, and it will be here tuesday, so for now, Kaiju V2 bashing, and I already bought a heat sink with fan, I have a metal servo arm, and I have a radiolink 7 channel gyro receiver/radio for it too. Hub extenders, sway bar kit... Forgive the rant, but terribly stoked

    Another video where You make stuff up and pass it off as truth. Unsubbed. You say it’s a associated it’s not. You say They did a redesign they did not, Bumpers exactly the same. You can change the pinion you can change the motor. So I recommend If u watch this guys videos take what he says with a grain of salt. I’ve had the same experience with other videos everyone’s entitled to their opinions, Does it make them facts?

    Watch the video more carefully. The truck is clearly made by the same OEM as the Associated Rival MT10. Bumpers survive way bigger crashes than they used to, I lawndart a 15 foot jump straight into the face of a jump. Upper arms are different. Pinion can't go any smaller. Motor can't go any longer.
