My family has been breaking slashes left and right in 2 weeks on an indoor course. It needs multiple upgrades, right out of the gate. Specifically, shock caps, and the tires are useless indoors, so there is another 45 bucks. I'm into my daughter's brushed 4x4 for 500 dollars already. I just picked up the brushless Caldera 4x4, with batteries, for 219! That's what I call a great deal. I would get a Team Associated any day over a Traxxas.
I installed the Kimbrough servo saver and it made a world of difference
I swapped that servo saver out right off the bat then the servo, but I noticed the entire steering linkages were tight without connecting it to the servo. Lots of issue with this rig but after a bit of parts swapping, I got it to shred very nicely.
durability is everything when comes down to it most people want drive them rather than fix them all the time.with some extra cash you could make anything pretty durable.Nice vid
I have a blackout xte pro and have had it for about 7 months a bash the hell out of it and have not had to replace anything had it completely submerged in water still runs strong
I'm hard on my R/Cs so I sometimes crash them hard. I've had to only replace little things on my Redcats, but not moreso than my Traxxas or Team Associated. Any hobby R/C will break if you're hard on them.
I just got the blackout SC Pro brushless RTR kit and mine came with a nice lipo 2s 3s charger and I love my truck handles really well and pretty fast and there's upgrades I can do to it to make it even faster I'm going to get the metal hop up kit I'm going to get that Proline Badlands and I'm also going to get the WTF(fan) and a new ESC so I can run 3s lipo and it'll be faster than crap. Thanks for the great video
i got the one with the spring, still sux, i super glued it and it's great!
The new ones come with a spring type of servo saver
most RTR need some up grades right out of the box...
that radio you can take it or leave it....
have the same one came with my exceed a few years ago...
i had the SAME problem getting the cover back on XD took forever, ended up saying good enough when i got it to close sloppily.
A new servo saver, that's like a $0.50 part. Did you just buy a new saver or did you replace the servo too?
No details about esc amp or what cell batteries it can take I.i 3S or 4 S!
can you make a video of bout it going on like a track cuz mine doesn't jump that far but I want to know if you ours will jump jumps cleanly
stlla cover we got
rid of it as it just kept breaking.
awesome!!
How much runtime on that battery?
Seems to be geared low, has way too much torque.
i was wondering if the esc can be setup for nimh?reason why i ask i dont have a lipo charger and the one it comes with probably takes forever.
yes it can
but you can pickup a B6AC charger for 40$ on ebay
You dont have a tr-sc10e vs blackout sc pro review or race
what motor is that ?
Don't remember, was the stock one that came with the truck.
I also have this RC too. I gotta replace all my tires soon since they are bald now.
Is it good and should I get the brushless or brushed one? What's the highest speed too?
Brushless
The servo saver did not spread open it just moved behind the horn.
Hiw come the one that amazon advertises has a deans connector on the picture instead of those plugs that you have
They may have changed since this video.
okay thanks do you guys have any other like videos cuz I like to watch videos of people who build tracks brace on them and I also like videos of like people who junk cars they race them but they don't have really good ones on TH-cam like where they actually bash them and stuff could you guys do something like that
my buddy blew his steering servo out and also locked up the radio all in one battery charge. he replaced it all with traxxas stuff. he's now in it 260 bucks plus the tires are poo so another 40 for those. with 300 9n ebay you can get a used mint slash ultimate
Redcat has one of the best warranties out there. He should of got Redcat to replace it for free.
By the way, I bought a brand new 4WD Slash brushless ultimate years back and I stopped running it because not only does it not stay on the road well with 3s, it also breaks nearly every run when I put 3s pack in it. So you will have problems once you try to get any high speed out of your slash. It also doesn't stay on the road and likes to fly, so good luck with that.
How does one "lock up" a radio? The redcat radios are flysky. I like Traxxas stuff but have had nothing but failures with their TX/RX, which are also expensive - I'll take the pack-in radio from a redcat / exceed anyday over traxxas. If the flysky receiver fails, replacement is 6 bucks and works with any flysky radio (most pack in radios). plus the radios are just way more user friendly.
Flyboy Guru of your going to sell shit r/c' s you better have good customer service. They make the majority of their money on parts.
I bought one and returned it, after opening the box to find a broken center linkage. I got my money back and got an axial.
how many amps draws the ESC or can you tell me the model please, I want to upgrade mine just like this one or a bit better
the ESC I believe was a Hobbywing 120 amp.
Oh wow thanx man
This one is even stronger
asiate.es/aff?l=98791&i=35116
I’m contemplating on a Traxxas Slash or this, after this, really gonna go with the slash
Toddbrains gaming unfortunately redcat quality seems to be hit and miss. The upside is the customer service is great however after the warranty is over you are stuck with paying for the repairs or parts I would personally go with traxxas.
It's a servo SAVER..it SAVED his servo.Lmao ..or you can just get a MG servo for $7..I got my Blackout pro for only $115...(shipping mishaps)...crack TX.. I Ca it back..It works fine. The truck was unused.....never the less I swap out the 45A esc for a 60A esc..so I can run 3s in it...i also mounted the wheels and tires from my BesalTek (HSP/Redcat) Volcano PRO ( $112).lmao,
The wheels on the black out are too bendy...You can stiffen it up with coats
of EPOXY on the inside..It was the WIDER wheel base I was after
It's a BRUSHLESS 4x4 with LIPO 2s 3000mah LIPO batteries....
The TRAXas has pros and cons...it's not perfect....different wheels for front and back...Rear Motor mount....4x4 runs on a belt...
The TA sc 4x4...has a too bendy chasis with out a stiffener...
The blackout ...has a metal chassis stiffer...
Well...I can get Bl;ackout SC brushed for $90...i personally dont really care if
the TX works or not...i use ONE TX.....3650 3000KV is only $18..60A esc is only
$15.....That's still $125.....vs $400.lol
That's nothing My TT bushmaster has a 4076 2250 KV and 120A 19T pinon..
It dose 50 mph easy on 4s 50C...LESS than $200 total...
The things I do...when Im left to my own device.lmao
The stock is 4068 2000kv...100A esc 15T pinon.lol
NO DONT BUY A SLASH ITS HORRID
@@oneeyemonster3262 where do u get ur pro for such a good price?
I had gotten my G Son a Volcano exp and me a Blackout Pro and that Volcano in plain form was 3 x better than that Blackout and cost less .I converted the Volcano to Li Po and it is an amazing truck
Hire the Handicapped they are FUN to watch. Lol. ; )~
were in canada is this?
is it close to Brampton? TheLedwheel?
in Laval Quebec
Better tires and it should be a decent performer
how does this do compared to the blackout xte?
Never tried it so can't say.
what do you think i should get the blackout sc pro or the traxxas slash brushless
Angelo Maroulis traxxas every time!
John M no, arrma not traxxas
@@jackjones4152 slash
Its a standard flysky radio.
I spent 15 minutes trying to get the receiver and esc back into the thing.
Ryan Whalen yup
Holy crap I never get a response.
how long does the battery last on this thing
+Fun_Nation I think The stock battery it cam with Lasted between 20 -30 minutes
Hey,btw great video! So I have a traxxas slash 4x4 Vxl and it has always had problems,but I finally got everything fixed using redcat racing parts and radio and it now works great I've heard really good things about redcat rcs,my point is would u highly recommend this car and redcat racing rcs all around? I really want a great fast durable car do u think redcat is the way to go?
That one guy 12 unfortunatly i do not recommend this or any Redcat. However you seem to be the type ro be avle to fix things so maybe ok for you. The being said, i dont understand you fixing a TRAXXAS using Redcat items.
Get the camo tt I just got mine today and that thing hauls ass and is super tough I crashed into a rock half throttle and she’s still mint.
hi that's a nice truck, pity it's the small things that let it down like the tightly packed receiver box lol
I'm liking the
T-shirt. :-)
Set your end points, you're binding the steering!
This was 5 years ago as this RC was sold a few weeks after filming. Everything just kept breaking. I know others have better luck with this truck. redcats Quality control is Hitt n miss.
@@TheLEDwheel oh
I got mine today for my 11th birthday, I went Coyote Hobbies and I asked what they had for 4wd and waterproof I knew I what I was talking about they pointed to this I got a 5000 mAh battery also that won't work when I plugged it in it started smokig my friend and I freaked out and quickly unplugged never touched until I told my mom and she said try the old battery that worked tried the new battery IT TRIED TO FLOOR IT WHEN SET TO OFF so we tried again did the same thing so yeah.
What's the top speeed in km
don't have a radar gun to check
What is the fastest speed of this car?
I don't remember but i am sure its written on the redcat website
Hey how fast does it go ??
Joe Wickey don't remember. Specs in the website?
How fast
is that a 1\10 scale
+haylee reedy Yes
is it 1 10 scale?
Did the diff break on it?
Michael RC Videos nope...
TheLEDwheel great to hear that :) does the pro version have a stronger diff?
Michael RC Videos . I no longer have it . got rid of it as everytime we took it out something broke.
Michael RC Videos but the short time we did have it the diff did not break.
TheLEDwheel o ok. I have this car but brushed everything is ok but I heard the diff was one of its weak parts
I have one. Ill challenge any race w my 5200 80C battery. I have a 3 cell, dont need it.
nice video I'm still so sceptical of red cat though!
+RCZ Nope... i don't recommend them to anyone.
+pazzesco exactly
+pazzesco the price is so convincing though. the nitro redcat shock wave is only 177 on Amazon!
+RCZ that's the only reason they sell.
+TheLEDwheel Oh shut up, my Redcat Racing Lightning EPX Drift is amazing.
How fast can goes?
its pretty fast. too fast for its own good.. lol
50 kmh?
+Andrej Walter i really don't know.
Ok
+TheLEDwheel But is car good?
How fast it can be
Please tell me
Top Speed: 60+mph (with optional 3S LiPo and gearing change)
If you not change motor how fast is
Did I should buy this rc (redcat short truck PRO)
@@Paimondog I will never tell you what you should or should not buy, I will say this though, some people have good experience with these, others not so much.
Filming Part 2 this coming weekend.
Was it all stock?
im really ruff which would last me for under 600 rtr
+impjig Traxxas Slash
+Ryan LeFevre lol the diff will strip in 1-2 weeks if he's ruff on em I'd go with a arrmas senton it's about 400 USD so then I'd upgrade the tires and servo then you got an amazing basher that will last for ever
axial yeti or traxxis slash
slash it's durable af.
+RCZ thats bs I have striped every plastic gear from then snapped every plastic bulkhead and shock towers not to mention there shitty springs
Just watch jake billing and what he does to his slash
RCZ arrma destroys the slash lol
Go axial. Traxxas is the most overrated company in rc for not being the best on the market
Could have saved over 2 mins by editing out the messing with that cover.
Hey. Is it waterproof?
NateTheGamer YT yes
Because my last one was supposed to be waterproof took it thru some puddles and bam it broke. So this one won't
If you look at the Redcat site it says its waterproof so if it screws up on ya because of water you can give em a call. That being said, save up your money and get a better RC.
TheLEDwheel so do you think this would be a good rc? My old one don't have reverse anymore or anything. Can't even go in grass anymore used to go 35 may got 15 now
NateTheGamer YT my personal opinion is no. quality seems to be a hit and miss with Redcat.
you were right about the blackout sc... I finally got it back from Redcat racing an it was driving great for my 30 minutes of battery..An now the motor burned out.. So for a total of 1 hour an 15 minutes total driving eveything has broken mechanical on the truck... The controller the Esc the receiver/transmitter an bow the motor...GARBAGE...
Lol...why is the camera so distorted
vastbadger he’s filming with gopros. They have wide angle lenses
I think they made that Electronics compartment idiot-proof
You just call me an idiot? :P
That is a fast little bitch I want one
spend a little more for something better
Like what
+RajunCajun05310 Traxxas or HPI
+TheLEDwheel these also have tons of upgrades available whereas the is practically nothing for redcat.
Logan LeJeune www.tarzana.racing
Really old video. New ones are seriously updated. I got a new one.
Glad to hear its better but from what i am told Redcat rc's are still hit and miss. Even the older ones had good and bad in the same lineup. Seems like a quality control issue.
Man you nitpicked the crap out of it. I have the blackout xbe pro and it is as tough as nails. My friend has the sc pro and he drives it every day pretty hard too and has never broken a thing. I realize that some people dont like redcat but whats not to like!!! They are fast there durable and WAY cheaper than most other rc cars. Good video but you need to be a little more positive about stuff.
I am not being positive or negative, just pointing out what I see.
and for the record this RC broke everything we took it out.
I agree with Few Minute Studio. I've had Redcats and they've never disappointed. So much bang for buck. I think TheLEDwheel is just an RC snob
Jonathan He is entitled to his own opinions. It just unfortunately isn’t the same as yours.
@@TheLEDwheel you are nitpicky, redcat is the most durable rc company out there traxxas is the weakest
@SneekiTactics not true i bashed the living crap out out of my volcano and its working fine
Redcat rc is a china brand called hsp go to alibaba and you can buy direct from them trash
S gill sorta, not exact but close.
it's possible there are similarities but they are not quite the same brand.
This is not a good company, I purchased a new slide, charger does not work, the two refused burned after the first operation. No warranty for anything.
Igor Grushkin the reviews are mixed, I had no trouble with thier customer service. what I did not like was that the RC broke every time we used it. they replaced the parts but we got rid of it.
/// Igor... Redcat is a hit or miss company, and thats what I dont like about them.
Not like HPI or Traxxas where QC is 110%, but Redcat is a gamble. It is one of those companies one has to buy ahead of time for birthdays/gifts to make sure is not defective.
thank you for your response.
Not only charger does not work, I I purchased another. After the first session burned two servo.
I have an invoice and I purchased from a seller registered. They send others .... but only to the United States. I live in Israel and I have no one in the United States. So I can not get parts under warranty.
I can't even watch this video because of how many times you say "uhh"
Uhhhh.
imagine paying 239 bucks for trash
these trucks come with crap servos just saying...
mark rakov no shit...we watched the video too
Thats not a servo saver btw. The servo saver is behind the front differential not connected to the servo itself. Dont believe me look on the wedsite and type in servo saver. Learn your parts and spend more time with rc cars before you make reviews.
This is the Bell Crank(steering assembly as Redcat calles it) for the Blackout that you are referring to as a servo saver, www.redcatracing.com/BS213-014
The servo saver is indeed on the servo arm itself.
Here is the exploded view for your reference
