Great video! Pretty amazing Redcat left all those screws un-Locktited. I only ran mine out of the box for about 15 minutes before doing this teardown. My front diff pinion screw was already slightly loose. I understand Redcat released a bulletin.

Yeah, hopefully they can get the factory to do more prep

Blue threadlock is a lifesaver. I don’t think enough people use it.

I checked the grub screws on my new fusion ascent in that front universal.... they were both super tight.... applied twist and it didnt wanna budge... gonna keep an eye on it though.

Yeah, don’t risk stripping them if they’re already tight.

I did the same and had to place a call to the warranty guys. Joe said they've redesigned and have new parts. The grub screw is not the problem; the pin breaks! I believe him because I have half of a pin in mine right now.

Are those grub screws going into metal or plastic ? Because if it's screwing into plastic, the chemicals in thread locker will swell and melt plastics, which will cause big headaches in short order. If it's metal on metal, you're good to go 👍🏼

Metal, definitely need threadlock.

I wouldn’t say that’s a RTR issue because I’ve never had any issues with my arma or my Traxxas RTR‘s

@rcilluminati26 Ай бұрын

There were a lot of issues with the Sledge when it was first released and if you go back to first version Arrmas, same thing. I should say first release RTR. Most companies figure out the issues and correct them pretty quickly but that first shipment is def prone to issues.

I run the greens, and they still feel firm in these tires.

@rcilluminati26 Ай бұрын

I just switched to greens. Will give it a shot. Definitely stiffer than antifoams I run in my other crawler that weighs the same.

@rcilluminati26 yes, indeed. The carcass of these tires are really thick, as well, tho. I've noticed the Injora silicones are also really tight in them in height. Being that the Ruptures are a bit taller, I think the silicones will be perfecto in them, so I'm going to switch the tires out in the next week or so. I absolutely love the blues in my 9-10 pound FMS Blazer. I love that trail rig, and it is very capable with just the wheel switch and brass rings in the fronts with the blue silicones.

I like the greens in my rig, combined with the knockoff Hyrax clones. They conform well, and I'm not having issues with sidehilling. I'll see how they perform as they wear in more.

@@TomeOfKnowledge74 I have now mounted Ruptures to the stock beadlocks with soft Anti-Foams in rear and Injora greens up front for a tad more weight bias and it is golden now.
