Redcat Racing Valkyrie 4S MT Full Review - Best 4wd RC Monster Truck?

[@K5_RC]

Still the best RC reviewer. Fully honest and unbiased. I never doubt anything on this channel. And everything I have experienced personally with any vehicle featured on this channel has been true to the video, and vice versa. Keep doing what you're doing, Razor!

[@RazorRC]

I appreciate that!

[@StraitJacketRC]

Dude, i agree with all your final thoughts. I just did the tear down yesterday and the diffs are so massive! Thanks again for pointing out the diff shim and the driveline phasing, it rolls so much better! I just did a quick video showing how to remove the diff cover, and the difference with and without the shim. I struggled with the pin so I thought others would benefit from a lil more in depth view. Redcat is killing it in 2024!

[@Puertorrican_Power]

Can you share a link to your video?

[@chaoticadventure]

I just ordered one for $240 shipped! Anything that needs addressed before I take it out bashing?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Even though these aren't available in Australia, I still like to check out these reviews. I mean, like you said, when you take the price into account, it's pretty hard to beat this truck on value. Is it better than some of the competition? Probably not. But does it offer great value? Absolutely. It didn't fall apart after a few jumps and the electrics aren't fancy paper weights, so a definite win for Redcat with this one. Great review once again. Well done. 😎👍

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for checking it out! Hopefully one day Redcat makes it out to Australia, we don't get some of the cool brands out here that you guys have access to, like Team Magic or Hong Nor which is a shame.

[@Jonn1969]

Just purchased one for $250 ! Can't wait! Thanks for the awesome vid as always!

[@Booth73]

I know im 3 months late for this but the black friday sale they had for this last week at $239 was by far the best value rc on the market imo for the price. I ordered the truggy version and waiting till monday when it arrives. Man i cant wait

[@coreycash3016]

I absolutely love mine fast as hell bro worth every penny I bought both the Mt is my favorite overall by far truck of the year imo

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

Only 4s I've driven that out of the box is hitting 60 mph. The other thing I did, which makes it a completely different truck, is change the receiver to a Spektrum avc receiver and then bump up the bec to 7.4v. It tracks straight as an arrow now and this, without having to adjust any trims or travel. This is literally as stable doing speed runs as the 6s Big Rock. Light years more stable than the Maxx, which is a difficult truck to control when doing speed runs. Not to mention it is a good 7 mph to 10 mph faster than the Maxx at close to $300 less. If I did not already own the Maxx, no chance I would ever buy it with this now on the market. I am liking this more than my 6s Arrmas in fact. They did an outstanding job on this easily could have charged significantly more for it.

[@ronswitzer6057]

Awesome video again man!! This is next on my buy list for sure!! Thanks for the honest review!!!!

[@grimze4]

Redcat actually surprised me with sending out the updated shocks without a request! I gave my Valkyier its first run with a group of friends! We had a blast running it just on 3s!

[@ragercrepair9301]

I love the redcat vehicles due to their value as well. They are getting better with every new release. I hope they start a new super tough basher buggy line soon!

[@spenn2007]

Exceptional review, I was waiting for your opinion. I will wait a little longer for them to ensure the shocks are updated. This will be my first non-Arrma/Traxxas RC.

[@tyrellcorp2118]

Always great reviews and advice.

[@RazorRC]

I appreciate that!

[@loganz28]

Love mine after 2 runs, it's absolutely insane on a 4s. So much torque i can pull a wheelie at 3/4 throttle. You really need to feather the brakes at full speed or risk head over heels wreck which i have experienced on grass and asphalt.

[@michaelsoucia4983]

Redcat is putting out some good stuff maybe you should look at the Redcat vigilante It looks good it's a big boy I love your videos keep them coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@suthius85]

Just got the truggy as well, since it's now $230!!!

[@GamezOfWar]

For the life of me I can’t seem to find the size but that gets that grub out of the driveshaft.. Bought a .50 off Amazon and it’s too big, what exactly is it called? Thx and great review, redcat on the up!

[@Hungrybird474]

Stripped ?

[@AsurasWrath164]

What? GamezofWar is on the RC-Hobby? Awesome, man! Absolutely loved your channel. A pity you stopped releasing videos. They were top-notch! Greetings from Croatia!

[@RazorRC]

It’s 0.050 inches. MIP makes a quality driver that I strongly recommend.

[@GamezOfWar]

@@RazorRC thanks man, also my diffs were shimmed way too tight, I only had 1 shim on each diff… I removed them, did yours have 2 on each diff? If so what side did you leave 1 on?

[@JmanRc]

Ya definitely looks good for the price never had a redcat gonna check them out and if they keep making decent trucks they be just as good as traxxas and arrma I thought arrma was decent price wow can't belive it....

[@jagergerg9771]

Deff can’t beat that price.

[@Hungrybird474]

Good review 👍

[@RazorRC]

Thanks! 👍

[@AVERAGEJOERC]

Yo love the Channel..

[@RazorRC]

Thank you!

[@babupranav]

great review as always much more positive than i expected. why are the a arms so short btw?? amd the wheels seem pretty offset. seems like it may be a reused part?

[@RazorRC]

So they made the steering knuckles massive which don’t fit in normal 1/10 2.8” wheels, so they had to make it super offset so the knuckles don’t actually go in the wheels. Which made it have to have short arms.

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

Top machine💪😉💯

[@johnsorensen5758]

This truck is awesome i replaced shock shafts with tekno they fit better then stock a little longer wich it needed since theres no droop adjustment the arms extend farther then stock shocks but tekno fits great arms stop before shock fully extends just needed to add some fuel line hose to shaft to keep piston from bottoming out inside shock Nothing has broken on the truck since fixing the shocks this thing is a brute better then the maxx the maxx motor mount is horible design my friend breaks his maxx everytime we bash no comparison only my second redcat love it my first redcat is the vigilante awesome 5th scale becoming my favorite and i own every other 5th scale

[@brothertax]

Love my Redcat Volcano 16. Hated the EPX Pro.

[@RazorRC]

Definitely some hit or misses with Redcat IMO.

[@ak42069]

Unfortunately even the new EPX Pro is the same as the older EPX Pro. Outdated double shock design on a flat plate chassis. Too heavy, too clunky, not very reliable.

[@Mrf388]

1/9 should be a class about now.

[@ehsan-2140]

Hey man can you make a video for how to make a rc kit for your normal rc car so it can off-road, like a video about how to connect all suspension to to wheel the axel,electronics and etc, I have an old Toyota Land Cruiser 200 which has hard shell body and is great for this , but I have no Idea how to make it as a proper rc car😢

[@scottlang1701]

Are there any accessories plug ports in it anywhere??

[@jessequaintance3242]

if not, you can make one by un plugging the ESC and putting in your 1-2 or 1-3 connector

[@boduke9428]

Has anyone else got a random email from Redcat saying you ordered front and rear shocks but you haven't? It shows the order, says it was processed but the total dollar amount is $0. I got that Saturday but never read it until after i emailed them today about my broken shock. Maybe they're sending new ones out to everyone who got the wrong ones?

[@RazorRC]

Yes they are

[@Wild_Bill_RC]

Ordered one through Redcat this morning after talking to them. Told me updated shocks will be in box with truck as extras.

[@ShadeTree_RC]

my v1 max came with 17mm hex ?

[@RazorRC]

wheel nut

[@boduke9428]

Does anyone know of existing aluminum body threaded shocks that will fit this? The ones on it are 130mm long 15mm diameter according to the Redcat website. I've looked at similar vehicles but it seems everything is either 110-115mm or 150mm plus. I'm thinking of trying a set of 150mm and running less preload.

[@RazorRC]

There’s too many other things that need to fit (cap length, bottom cap length, shock internals stack) that it’s unlikely something else will fit well. But I don’t think it needs alloy bodies.

[@boduke9428]

Funny thing happened. I was getting my Valkyrie MT ready to take out and play around. While waiting on batteries to finish charging i see this video. I left it playing with my phone in my pocket when i got out in the yard. 10 seconds before you get to the part about the shocks i come up a little short on a backflip and land hard on the front tires. No crash, just front tires first. Turning around i notice the truck leaning. Right front shock is broken and spring is gone. I can vouch for some of them coming out with weak shock shafts. I've never broken a shock from such i gentle harsh landing. Has anyone found other shocks that'll fit yet? I've got no desire to replace it with one that'll break just as easily again.

[@johnsorensen5758]

Yes tekno shock shafts Put tekno tkr6017 in front and tkr6061 in rear

[@woodlakerc7047]

im sorry, for me, waaaaaaaayyyy to much talk and way to little walk. For me a min vid should be 5min talk 10 min walk.( but thats just me ofc) Neverthe less, a huge thumbs UP for making a vid about our fav hobby and spreading the word!

[@BASSstarlet]

It's a shame that RedCat is a non existend company in Europe :/

[@RazorRC]

😢

[@Chekin6swreckinloofas]

So usually like your reviews. I fell like the emphasis should be $309 usd price tag. Redcat just established a new class. How or why would you compare it to a ktaton??? Adjust your pov sir. A 4s kraton stomps the 4s redcat. Because why? Kraton more money. I suggest you rewrite your review it to other 1/10 scale as u said “monster trucks”. Your wrong, you shouldnt review trucks that you lack scale and vision to do so. My typhon grom will whoop as on 90% of vehicles youve reviewd on your channel. Difference is i know thats not a fair comparison. You missed the point. Redcat made s 4s,1/10 scale. Duh. Arrma 4s kraton. Yeah its “1/10” as well. But its $100$ more at least.

[@RazorRC]

@@Chekin6swreckinloofas thanks for your feedback, but if you’ve watched my videos I always compare based on size (wheelbase), power (4S), and type (monster truck). I never compare cars based on price.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

lol get out here grom not whipping anything I’m going end up spending more money to get those groms going than if I just bought another TLR Typhon

[@jreg027]

The durability is 3 stars come on

[@RazorRC]

What have you broken?
