Redcat Gen 8 Portal Axle Disassembly

[@edwinnegron7761]

Have seen this video multiple times and has helped me with my recent purchase. thank you kindly

[@crawlhardrc3508]

you've got the best job in the world for a R/C enthusiast

[@sudsrc8261]

Good video. Really important to know that the portals are not greased. That'd be something basically every owner should be looking to do. Easy enough to apply.

[@jimsrc2196]

I have heard mixed stories . . Some say the diff gears are dry and no grease also . . I have had a Everest 10 in past that hd no grease in diffs but others new from the box did have grease . . It is either quality issue or possibly different shifts building or different factories producing to different specs . . Always a good habot toncheck the diffs, portals and the transmission gears

OMG.... Where was this video when I had to assemble my Gen 7 Beta Portal Axle update kit?? It was heck figuring out how the CV joints got assembled. With no instructions it took me a bit figuring out the bearing covered the pin to hold it all together. I made a homebrew YT video, but not to this quality.. LOL... Great video and illustration. These are exactly the same Beta Portal axles (with update) as my Gen 7. They have held up great and very happy with them.

Fantastic job man! Very informative!! Doing this tonight as an upgrade with aluminum parts.

[@jimsrc2196]

I have heard different stories between the diffs, portals and having grease . . Some have been dry and others have grease . . Always a good habit to check the portals, diffs and transmission gears for grease

Great video! Thanks for sharing this video! Always enjoy seeing the in workings of the portal axles. Thanks again!

[@realonethreesevens3640]

I unfortunately stripped the set screw in the front axle drive shaft, what part would I have to order to repair if I cant get that screw out?

[@RevolutionX]

Thanks for giving us a look inside!

[@datsun4x]

Thanks for the breakdown Harley. Is there any word on vanquish supporting this one?

[@brianlongto866]

What size are the 3 screw that holds the portals together I need to order some

[@dwaynebaker8733]

Made that look easy, you know your stuff👍🙂

[@peterrcbasher]

Cool video!!

[@ShenRC]

😃👍Good stuff! Man redcat needs to use some more and better quality grease that stuff did not look to good.

[@camhafemeister]

Where did you get the hex drivers

[@LeftenantMalachi]

What's the part number for the ball stud (metal) that connects the lower part of the shock? I need that to rebuild my rear end.

[@RC_Rooster]

I broke a portal shaft I'm pretty sure and mine is definitely not just sliding right out. I don't know what to do right now.

[@Joe_1971]

Scintering in not the process of having a gear fit onto a shaft a certain way, that's just how it was machined or molded. Scintering is the process of using extreme pressure and heat on a powdered material without melting the material to form a solid mass. Great video btw.!! Can't waite to get my truck in.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m aware of how sintering works, not sure of what part in the video you’re referring to.

[@Joe_1971]

@@HarleyDesignsInc Just go to 2:18...Im not nit picking just pointing out that because a gear and shaft fit a certain way doesn't mean that they are sintered.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Ah, no I was just stating the material type of the gear while describing how it is installed.

[@Joe_1971]

@@HarleyDesignsInc Ok my bad, just sounded that way to me.

[@sandycraven]

How similar are the Redcat portal cases to the cases of the Traxxas and if close can the brass portal cases be used ?

[@puzzleluvr]

Not even close.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Completely different.

[@TulaTrofiTeam]

Крутая модель!

[@RCVOODOO]

Pretty thorough ✌

[@dwaynebaker8733]

Looks like a very stout truck👍🙂

nice work

[@00godlovesus]

Thanks:)

[@xristoskalandrias2834]

the axle's one side is called double D

[@michaelkeefer630]

I'm a proud owner of some Vanquish portals and love them.

[@immunitycorrupts3641]

still can't wait to get mine! love me some REDCAT

[@Papaskunks420]

Your bad ass

[@86nepsites]

I can say the engineering to this is almost the same with how premium vanquish products and others are engineered. yet they just asked 300usd.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

That would be an easy point to argue against. They made some definite design mistakes that will hurt the long term ability to handle power. Now if they did that to cut costs or just due to inexperience is the question.

[@ferp420]

please please make cvds for this rig please if nothing else please cvds

[@XSRCdesign]

They are so close.. I could forgive gear material. But those bearing sizes.....

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Actually the FIRST.... Where's my cookie? 😜 Seriously, nice look at the inside of these Axles. This proves that they are NOT the same as the Gen 7 Portals!! Carmine 💥 ⛽

[@puzzleluvr]

Yes they are...

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

No actually, they're not.

[@puzzleluvr]

Really, and why do you think this?

[@gphilpot1]

Umm.... Yes they are 100% if you have the Beta Portals with the latest update kit. Without the update kit, then you are correct. But with the update kit they are in fact the same axles in every way.

[@gphilpot1]
