Yes, the brushed models. I originally tried with a Pro version and they were too fast and would tip and roll, popping most balloons.

@NPCRC yea i bet lol the 3s are pretty powerful for what they are

FMFL or something like that... 24mm spiked nuts. I believe the threads were off and we had to order these as well! www.ebay.com/itm/154735870435?var=454828271998

Yes, it has a center diff that is in the rear of the truck, attached to a diff pinion, for distribution right to the rear diff. When it was released, our rep said it had a slipper in it. When the v2 came out, I saw one apart and saw the diff. Figured then it was a v2 thing ut after more review, the v1 and v2 had very little different. So yes, plastic gear on it, but does have 3 diffs!

The website is no longer up. I was Redcatdealer(.com) and did not want to keep that domain since expanding even further, with Horizon and some other companies. I also opened a shop locally now and have been a little too busy to focus on the online side of things of late. I do plan on going live with a new site in the near future but until then, most of my regulars either call in, Facebook message me or email me quote requests. I, always ,will be less then retail and I also still do breakdowns and other custome things I use to have. Feel free to reach out anytime. My store is the same as my channel and can be found on Google, located in MD.

@NPCRC nice i just happened to get a earthquake 8e was seeing if ya had anything for them. But thats cool man keep up the good work

Very true... but in this instance, both Notorious's are running the stock tires.

@@NPCRC And the same battery's I assume?

@@rccrawlingaddict207 i had a 10,000mah 120C he had 7200mah 100C. The only real difference is the Pinion size. I had a 12T, he had the 16T. I am going to go up to a 14T when I bring mine back out and see what that does. I want to pull off a double if I want it but also don't want mine hitting thermal.

@@NPCRC Cool, I am curious to see if it works.

the Bell crank was 25, the take off diff and pinion from a break down was 35. 30 for th labor including shock fix.

it was more line 2/3 the distance but yeah, you had more speed and lift then the Jambo for sure

@@NPCRCyeah for sure lol I’m just saying that 1/7 chassis def longer to make rotations around. I say next bash we setup ramp like that into big grass field and can really send it 😅

@@dylansimmons9346 I want to do a couple head to head or head to head to head races too. That stretch where you and Chuck were racing is a good spot for a quick heat.

lol might wanna put that in slo mo

@@NPCRC 😂I’m messing my eyes always add one 1️⃣

@@dylansimmons9346 obviously! Make it add one in slo mo though...lol

@@NPCRC yeah I gotta watch again lol

lol... never fails!

We did, after these attempts.

Yeah, truck was discontinued and I am no longer just a Redcat dealer so I dropped the website. You can still get the arms and shafts though. Redcat sells them. Search their site under parts and select Shredder x2 or V2 and you can use those arms and shafts

We rode all of them after that one! Once he got off, the adrenaline kicked in and he was ready for more!

They follow me around all the time and I have to say, BYE, to them when I leave or they think I am still there and I am sure this is part of their process...lol I knew they would come looking.

lol she went to check back upstairs with the other dogs and I think they may have heard me saying, "she'll be back" and new I was down there somewhere!

@@NPCRC they are sneaky! Lmao

and vice versa for the most part...

When I go anywhere far she's in a doggie bag that straps to my passenger seat. I only work about 4 MI from my house on back roads so I usually let her ride and get some air on those trips. She's definitely a character though

The program card from spektrum fixed the issue with a firmware update. I heard some were getting them from Horizon for free under warranty.

Thanks for the info. I’ve sent a email to them hopefully I get a response this week. I just got this kraton.

To be fair, in the full video they are all caught... for shorts, you have to center a 3rd of the width so i picked the best 3rd and let it roll

Small ramps are definitely not ideal for this thing but to be fair the only reason we're testing with this ramp is because it is more flat and helps expose the issue more. Also, the higher arched ramp is more dangerous until we got this issue figured out. In the previous video, we were on a larger jump and the issue was there and more dramatic. Just wanted to keep it simple for test troubleshooting purposes.

It always looks like there's plenty of room to bang out a jump and not be near anybody but even with all of that space the truck still is like a magnet. Especially if I jump towards myself. Almost took myself out a couple times too. All good times though...

@NPCRC oh no doubt that accidents happen. But both sides could have done something better, and didn't.

@cosmicslushynetwork there's a third one as well and things were done better. We were both standing on the side of the building and the truck came off the ramp sideways and I just set it down on the ground instead of trying to save it and ride it out which would have hit one of us. I'll still be on top of the hill next bash session launching them to get a good viewing angle...lol You either have to stand in front of the ramp or in back of the ramp to be able to hit them accurately with any kind of speed... Grass was a little tall on this session and was altering the way the approach to the ramp was, which is why it happened a couple times here. All was good though.... we all had fun and a good laugh!

I agree, considering we started with the stock gearing to be able to compare vs the motor set up which is 1250kv. 20T is the largest i hear we can go with the cover still fitting. We plan on getting there but the issue we were having is more then just gearing and KV. I am seeing others put the 800kv motor in and not complaining about the nose being heavy though. This video gave us some hope with getting the wheelies back so now we will upgear some and change the tires. May be good to go after that but will probably see how big of a pinion the mount can take and figure out the cover later, to get more out of it!

LOL.. So it LOOKS like that and some jumps were off the mark but we BOTH have driven it, hit the ramps GOOD and had the issue arise. The video after this, we actually get some wheelies back and the only thing we did was repair the diff that was already missing a tooth but got finished off in this video. I promise, the driver was not the issue for what we are seeing here, or at least the reason we are talking about it. There was something off but it is a little better now and now we can continue with tires and pinon change to get the most out of it. But I DO agree, the truck drives and handles just fine with stock set up, but we had a bad motor which led to an early upgrade... so we had to change it while waiting for replacement. Just ran into issues we were seeing when the motor was failing. Could have been the diff we were noticing all along... More to come.. TY for the feedback!!!

Had some spunk with the Castle now too, which we weren't getting after the initial install. Should be ready to take some larger tires and then go up to a 19T or, what i hear is the max, 20T pinion!

@@NPCRC maybe few oz fishing weight in the rear keep the nose up.

Yeah that's the next thing we try! SHould see how that goes by tomorrow. We definitely had issues... the video I have posting today, we swapped back to the new stock motor and part of our issue may have been the rear diff that was missing a tooth for a few runs. We had better results in it, but still not what we would like to have, but progress! Ty for the feedback!

So we're comparing what we know the vehicle can do with what we also see other people being able to do online with the stock tires which is why we didn't go after the tires right away. The motor was done because the last one had an issue which I covered in one of the videos, so we wanted to put something bigger in from the get-go and it gave us a perfect opportunity. We've got a larger pinion for it but we wanted to go back to stock gearing for the first run on the new Castle. We've had it on bigger ramps and it is still nose heavy and doesn't want to get around and we've pulled back flips off with this truck before. The pinion and the tires are the next thing we address as we did get some improvement in our next video, which should post tomorrow. Maybe by the time we get to the next video we'll have the other tires and a larger pinion on as well.

It had a broken tooth when the devil for about three runs now... it got destroyed at the end of this video trying to land the truck and keeping the nose up. Justin landed with the throttle open and it didn't like that very much. It's up and running and there's another video that should be posting tomorrow afternoon

@@NPCRC I'm surprised they used cheap metal many are blowing rear diffs, rc car garage did, and the center diff case over heats and warps.

@rccarsandmusic2641 we haven't had any issues with the center yet but the rear was damaged early on and did pretty well considering it had a broken tooth, through the next few runs. We will monitor it and keep an eye on it ourselves but we haven't seen anything to make us think it's a reoccurring issue. I did watch RC garage damages, but I never saw the follow-up to see if it happened back-to-back on him and if so, I doubt that it was all just the diff gears. I think maybe he put something on wrong or didn't get it cleaned out and something else got in there and ate up the gears.... possibly

It has changed, as has the one on the truck this was from but yes, I sell the current wheelie bar

@@NPCRC great. Can you send a link.

lol I just said "Dylan got some big air" to Justin while editing! They are coming!

Reeper is no slouch!!! LOL

Yes, local to my town In Maryland. Use to just sell online but after covid, I looked to go local. I'm usually in my shop for some of my actual videos.

@@NPCRC o nice

@@NPCRC actually kinda sick ngl

absolutely! and places like M2C, Vitavon ADU and others are making upgrades for them too.

better... the Torox 185 is a great ESC and Corally's electronics are always top notch... especially for a RTR

I just started making content again. Took a break after covid and focused on getting my local shop up and going. Now I make it mainly to have videos playing in my store... subs are a bonus!

We do have a new ramp for our next session... should have much more carnage or just big air shots due to it... may bring more viewers in the end

This is an employee of mines' truck. I have driven it enough to say it's a solid truck though. The truck took some bad tumbles, a lot not caught in camera, but held up well until the motor issue exposed itself. We had signs of an issue in this run but didn't know what. For what I sell it for, you can't beat it, coming in 200-300 below the competition!

I love the truck just has so minor issues but overall awesome truck to have

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-Wp3yclshso80

For a racing set up this would be better suited I believe... On a basher, I want my 2 rear tires spinning at the same rate. With thinner oils (Anything under 80K) I notice a "waddle walk" when trying to ride a wheelie and also inconsistent launches of ramps when not hitting it straight on. 100K is what I normally put in my trucks but with the larger 5th scale, the owner wanted to put something heavier in the rear for the extra torque the truck has. Outside of racing, I never go thicker in front then rear because I don't like the way the trucks will turn with thicker oils in the front... thicker then, lets say, 100K.

Right on, yeah it all depends on the persons driving, I love my 6s rigs with 60k front and 20k rear, and either 500k to 20M center for fast turns, big jumps, hard corners and all around fun.

@@WildBoyRC I would say we are the same on 6S trucks except the rear... that waddle walk has messed me up alot when trying to ride wheelies. With that thick in the center, it keeps the power more even F and R so it makes the diff oils more noticable if you get up on one wheel more then another in the rear... and if your at and angle on ramp launches... IMO

@@NPCRC hmm maybe you’re right with that waddle walk, I’ll check mine out this weekend and see how the wheelies are. Depending on the rig I think my built sledge is fine but I think my arrma fireteam does that a bit sometimes, we’ll see

@@WildBoyRC I went to 100K in rear of my Notorious, Kaiju, Reeper and Kraton and i noticed a big difference over stock and my original 60K choice
