Redcat Volcano 16 Brushed VS Brushless | Converted to Brushless and Redcat Optional Parts

[@FerociousSniper]

I have 4 crawlers and enough spare parts to build a 5th (which I am going to), but I have always wanted a basher. I looked at Traxxas years ago, and their prices deterred me from looking any further. Fast forward to a few days ago when I get my Ascent 18. I was so impressed by the quality and price, I looked at what else Redcat has. Long story short: I have one of these coming in the mail. 😁

Very nice the reverse wheelie gave me a good laugh also

[@therchotspot]

Thank you!

[@linh811]

wow thorough guide thank you !

[@donniewiggs8749]

My friend bought one redcat volcano and it has the brushless motor. Omg it catwalks taking off

[@elimusicchannel4440]

Nice build !!!!! What size tires?

[@therchotspot]

2.2 duratrax banditos

[@jebrc]

you can use the hbx 16889a parts too there the same truck

[@therchotspot]

Thats coming in another video... spoiler alert...

[@mdaniels292]

The HBX 16889a Pro come with all the hop ups done for $108

[@therchotspot]

Went over that in another video.

[@jebrc]

@The RC Hotspot great little bashers either way they are super diehard little rigs ive ran brushless on 3s with no issues next to temps getting high but a few cheap 25mm 6v fans fixed that

[@crizo23]

Maybe I missed it, which brushless motor did you go with?

[@therchotspot]

It from a old rc car I had. I mention it at 04:45

[@ManuelGarcia-ib2bo]

What pinion gear

[@therchotspot]

I dont remember, think a 13

[@ITSVibrationz]

New to the r/c world i have a volcano 16 but don’t know how to change the stander Phillips to hex nut I find a bunch online but not sure what’s the right one or should I stick with the plastic hex and Phillips screws

[@therchotspot]

You have to change the driveshafts. You can use the cvds like I did in the video. Part numbers are in description

[@ITSVibrationz]

Ok understood that would be RER13681 but do I also need the RER13683?

[@therchotspot]

Not unless you are going to run dogbone instead of cvd driveshafts in the rear. I just put cvd all around on mine

[@carltondixon8539]

Sounds like your mesh is tight

[@donniewiggs8749]

Ok mine has metal dif. So I guess mine is all upgraded

[@therchotspot]

Did you buy yours new or used?

[@EURIPODES]

It would be cheaper to buy the brushless HBX and just buy Redcat body shell.

[@therchotspot]

@@EURIPODES probably, but not everyone wants to do that. Some people like to tinker like me
