Great video love the content the best Volcano 16 video yet! 👏🏾 👏🏾 Thanks bro!

What kind of shocks are those on the upgraded one

I took the tires off of my Tornado and put them on my 16 and totally transformed the truck. It will do backflips and willie's constantly now and the top end is about 40% more.

All I did was put ASAP of 10th scale after market sand buggy tires on it. That is taller than the tornadoes tires, and it does backflips and wheeles all the time.

I just got my new red cat. Took it out of the box and there is no part sheet or break down sheet for the vehicle anymore. They stop providing them. They say you have to download them on your little cell phone and hope and pray You can see those numbers to order parts when you need them. I am dropping red cat.

Can you put a link for the brushless setup you are running

You want it to squat, Redcat knows what they're doing. Squatting allows the tires to drop down into holes in the ground. It allows the suspension to reach down as far as it reaches up. Does this make any sense to you? A properly set up RC is exactly like your real car. It should sit right in the middle of the suspension. If it's set at the top like yours is, it'll Pogo bounce all over the place and be very hard to control. And your front end is still changing its camber/ caster. I don't know who told you to do all that. The back tires are angled in to create drag and keep the rear behind the car and also keep it in a straight line. After you've screwed the whole thing up, put the suspension back to Redcat stock and you'll be fine. RC in a nut shell: 35c does not mean 35 cells. Did you really say that? Your 2s 7.4 volt battery only has two cells, with each cell at the LIPO standard of 3.7 volts per cell. Times 2 cells = 7.4 volts. A 3s has three cells times 3.7 volts = 11.1 volts, a 4s is 14.8 volts and so on. The C rating is the current discharge rating. And at 35c would be 35 times the batteries capacity. (capacity is the "C.") If the battery is 1,000 mAH = 1 amp x 35 = 35 amps of constant power. Putting in a motor that can use more than that is a waste of money, and might burn your ESC out. And 35 is not enough to fully function a 60amp ESC. The burst power rating is usually double the C rating which means the battery on a full power dump could burst to 70 amps on startup. My typical battery is a 3s, 11.1 volt 5,000 mAH battery at 50c. That means 5000 milliamps = 5amps x 50 = 250 amps of steady current with a 500 amp burst rating. My cars and trucks typically use half that, but still have very large Hobbywing 120 amp ESC's and 120 amp Sky RC Toro brushless 4900 KV 4-pole non sensor racing motors. The KV rating is how many rpms the motor will spin per volt. To determine max rpm, you multiply the KV times the voltage. So the 4900 KV motor will turn 54,390 rpms at 11.1 volts. Typical brushless is 20 thousand or less: 4-pole motors have twice as many points on the motor shaft being pushed by the ESC than the cheaper 2-pole. This effectively doubles the acceleration curve over similar 2-pole motors and are used in short coarse racing trucks. It also gives the ESC a real jolt and heats it up. It's like it's running a 2 cylinder engine vs a 4 cylinder engine: Sensored motors regulate the speed and isolate the poles in the motor and must be 4-pole sensored motors. They are used in applications that use very slow speeds like a crawler. Or short course racing trucks for their precise braking ability around turns. Take your pick. Crawlers normally can't use a brushless motor at all. Sensored motors also must have ESC's that are rated for them. Non-sensored motors have higher top speeds and are strictly voltage sensitive. Those Toros I told you about? On a fresh charged 3s battery of 12.4 volts can turn over 60,000 rpms and 100mph. And yes, they all have gyros. And there you have it, RC in one easy lesson. Using this and a little more arithmetic can tell you the top speed of your car without even running or building it. Critical on a scratch build. Your use determines your setup. And now, they're putting 3s in tiny 16th scale trucks: Hope this helps on your journey.

They're 16th scale. Why do you think it's called a Volcano 16? Do we have Einstein's in the house? And they're also 6 year old Redcat Tremors of which there were 3 versions. The Volcano 16 is the last version. Now, every company in the world is buying these as roller kits, jazzing them up and putting their names on them. Redcat must be selling a gazillion of these little trucks today. And all the metal upgrades. And for the first time I might add. In the past, these were too small to really sell well for the price. 10th scale ruled. No one made these 16th scalers at all except Redcat. They were relegated to a little kids first RC and were just brushed motors. Just like the Volcano 16 is today. They're almost indestructible for the same reason. I got mine on sale for 80 dollars. And I'm going to leave it all plastic just to see how long it lasts. I did add nice shocks and have all the metal upgrades ready to install. But I'm leaving it stock and I'm betting the plastic holds up in a tiny brushed car. Everyone sells these little Redcat Tremors today. The Chinese have brought it up to a new level and have around 10 full brands at least, and adding more every single day. That's how you know they're not producing them themselves. But they're jazzing them up with Brushless motors, metal gears, and I have a Gool (an old name) rated for 3s, out of the box. A tiny 16th scale on 3s. Wow. I guess anything that can survive little children can survive 3s. I just sent a Hyper Go to my son for Christmas. This is the top dog. It has an all metal drive line, oil filled shocks, two LIPO batteries and the optional 3s 2000 LIPO battery. It's a beast. (I said that about my Gool) A Redcat Tremor never looked so good. For some reason, smaller is better today. Maybe because it's cheaper? I don't know, that Hyper Go wasn't cheap. But it was under 200 dollars complete. The full size Volcano 10th scale is only 179. The brushless is only 239. But with no batteries. So maybe that's why the new interest in 16th scale. The 10th scale used to come with batteries. Do you see why the little trucks never really sold when they did? There's so much you have to put in it, no matter what size it is. Some companies even make 24th scale RC's today and those are the size of tiny slot cars.

Do you know the hex size for the tires?

Is it OK if I have a 1800 mA Lipo for mine?

Cool video...like the lights on the Dukono. Just changed the steering servo on mine just now. Checking out videos on TH-cam👍

Will the a979 brave body 18 scale fit on redcat 16 scale chassis

Where’s the next video??

C does not stand for cell, the S stands for cell. The C is the discharge rate....

how much speed you on man..?

Can you run the lipo battery on the stock car?

I ordered one but I'm not sure of upgrading it cause this is my first redcat rc truck and I'm not sure how to disassemble and reassemble. I will upgrade the shock absorbers but that's about it but I'm not sure if it's worth the money

Hey man, what gear setup are u using. And how long did those wheels last lol

I like mine stock, but can I just add an upgraded with same performance but longer life without causing damage?

No running video?

If I get the battery upgrade you did what charger do I need

what tires are u useing

Newbie here. When upgrading batteries to the Lipo, does it plug into the existing connectors or are additional parts required?

Can I run a 1800 mah or no

Question. If i got that same battery but in 1500 mah would that work and do wheelies?

If I buy the same receiver you linked down in someone’s comment will all these other parts like the motor, ESC, and steering servo plug into it?

If I buy a new receiver would I have to buy a new controller too or would it come with it?

Were the upgrades hard to switch in? Also thank you for the amazing video it helped me a lot and now I know what to upgrade.

I just put that same set up in mine but when I turn it on all I get is constant beeping and occasional motor jerking. Any advice?

The hbx 16889a pro is the identical truck comes fully upgraded. Full metal drive train oil filled shocks brushless motor 140$ same truck.

I bought the brushed Dukono as well. Stock power was ok but Duke is a lot of fun after I converted to brushless.

Cool set up! Dumb question here, but do I have to use Lipos if I upgrade things like motor/servo/esc?

35C doesn’t mean 35 cell. That’s a 2s (2 cells in series) battery. 35c refers to the discharge rate, which is 35 times Capacity, so 35 amps since it’s 1Ah

I put a 2440 GoolRC motor and HW 16bl30 in mine. It’s fast but I think I would probably try to find a 2840-2845 size motor with the proper shaft size. Regardless though, it’s stupid fast. Backflips for days.

It’s clearly a 1/16

Can you please tell me your set up I want to upgrade mine

Nice break down on the two Rc👍. I can't wait to see both of them run.

How/what receiver did you use to replace the combo esc one. And did you use the original redcat remote

Where did you get the Subaru body

Have you clocked the speed yet?

Friend I hate not knowing English because I don't understand you and I have the same car but I don't know what you're saying and I would love my car better 😕

Can you send me the link to the red at receiver you put in?

Complete TRASH Bro and you know it

I got a blackout and red cap a lot of fun with that that bottom cone part of the sharks my room came out I lost it I don't know where a lot of screws and I burned two spur gears

Aluminum shock rings

What is it 40amp ESC from RedCat ?

What size are the tires and can you buy different treads

Does yours have a problem where when you steer it the wheels won’t go all the way straight and make the car go sideways even though you have the steering perfect

keep it up my friend...... I'm ready to support this channel. please come to the next channel

Can you post a link on those tires?
