Awesome show !! I installed Sway bars 10mm hex extenders Aluminium servo arm Dual motor fan 40 mm esc fan Steel spur I run on 4s. Lowered the punch from 5 to 3. I like it. My favorite is my Arrma notorious !!
did your steel spur sound strange? I'm actually wondering about the mesh because it sounds so insane. It's very, very loud and has this really machine-y sound to it when moving very slow.
@@donaldbarron7916 awesome! I'll probably do an inspection in a week or two just in case, but since im using an 11t pinion I was a tad concerned with mesh was tight.
@@kylegeldmaker i do indeed. Just got it a few days ago. No bashing yet. Drove it for about 15 min tonight, and so far I like it. My secondary basher is an arrma granite
@@billyhighfill excellent! I think you're gonna love it. Order the servo horn right away. It will strip fast, and shipping from redcat can take a while. 😎
Update for Case 69908 - "Manufacturer defective pars" Ok, thank you for taking time to clarify what was going on. I will send you out a new pair of aluminum arms.
@@kylegeldmaker I told them that there was way too much slop in one hade to send them a video of that the other the threads were off had to send a picture of that then they decided to replace after I ordered a new set wtf lol but either way they replaced them
I’ve had steering issues as well after I upgraded to the aluminum servo horn. Eventually I got it step up correctly by adjusting the steering trims on the receiver. As mentioned I snapped one of my upper control arms where you pointed out in the video. Cheap to replace but I wasn’t expecting that to happen so fast. Also installed a metal spur gear and sway bar kit. Still need to install the cooling fan upgrade. I’m an RC noob this is my first real RC car, minus my Kyosho Outrage from the early 90’s I had as a kid lol.
Thankfully, outside of the stripped servo horn and the spur (which technically wasn't really stripped) I haven't really broken anything. My main problem is I just don't feel super confident running it very hard because the steering is so erratic. I've taken it to a few BMX tracks and some construction sites and it's pretty gnarly to land a jump and have the truck rocket off at 30mph. I intend to make a video of the "must have" mods for the kaiju in the next couple weeks. If you have any ideas I'd be happy to incorporate them :)
@@kylegeldmaker I forgot to mention I broke a rear hub carrier RER12437, which is my fault the truck landed weird and did like 6-8 cart wheels. Also it was between 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit outside when I broke all of these parts. My only issue with the truck is it shutting down at 3.4 volts when I have it programmed to shut down at 3.0 volts. Which is the factory default anyway. Your steering issue is strange though, puzzling....
@@goforbroke2 They make an aluminum hub, I believe its 7076 too. Should be pretty beefy. I'm going to try a really overpowered servo and see if that helps the steering problem. Honestly, It's not a super big deal while bashing, but it's very noticeable when trying to do a speed run on pavement or trying to jump something head on and expecting to continue straight at speed. Part of me thinks that just how this truck is.
Hey, just in case you didn't set up notifications, the aluminum arms are back in stock on Redcat's site. I just ordered 4 arms and plan to do an install video when they arrive.
The mod of front shocks to move out from the bottom any drilling another or another hole to move shock or it has other holes to screw shocks on bottom, you only did front shocks only? or rear also, any info will help just got this truck if is gonna help from tipping over would do this mode.
I already installed it, however of you're interested I'll record a section about it iny next video for the Kaiju. My aluminum arms finally came in and I had planned on doing a video for that first week of March.
Man, that's a bummer but I can relate 🤣 I would recommend the Redcat aluminum horn, however, if you're impatient like I was the TRX4 model linked in the description works well.
@@kylegeldmaker thank you I actually went to my local hobby shop and they had the metal redcat steering servo. Thanks for uploading this video, it helped alot.
@@MelbourneExclusive0 that's awesome. The nearest shop with Redcat stock is like 3 hours from me. Glad it worked out for you! Give me a shout of have any other steering issues 😎
Don't get me wrong, I love this Kaiju. It's literally a monster! But, for a plastic servo horn to be stripped literally right out of the box on a $400 truck is bit ridiculous. I do fully understand your point, though. Of the last 4 trucks I've purchased, I've needed to fix or replace something on each of them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for your feedback, I took a look at my audio after someone else brought it up. I bought two new mics, an external recorder and a 10 track board to address it. I also spent some time learning audio processing in davinci resolve. Check out some of my newer videos, see if it's better.

Awesome show !!
I installed
Sway bars
10mm hex extenders
Aluminium servo arm
Dual motor fan
40 mm esc fan
Steel spur
I run on 4s. Lowered the punch from 5 to 3.
I like it. My favorite is my Arrma notorious !!

@@kylegeldmaker yes it does, but it works fine. I have been using it for about 10 packs. No problems.

Good video. Volume level is way too low, tho.
Thanks! I'll look into that. This was my first time using Resolve so I'm still getting used to it.
Great video
Thanks! I'm curious about how many people are researching the kaiju, or already have one and are looking for upgrades/solutions. Do you have a kaiju?
@@kylegeldmaker i do indeed. Just got it a few days ago. No bashing yet. Drove it for about 15 min tonight, and so far I like it. My secondary basher is an arrma granite

@@kylegeldmaker i will today. Thank you for the tip!
@@kylegeldmaker do you know of any metal ones that will work, that arnt sold out! Ha ha I just checked redcat and eBay
That 360 angle is 🔥
Thanks man! I'm working on a new mount for the camera. I'm hoping to get some more footage.
You are very in depth and thorough! Loved the video! I ordered almost all those parts. Thank you!
Thanks! Thorough was the target 🎯
Update for Case 69908 - "Manufacturer defective pars"
Ok, thank you for taking time to clarify what was going on. I will send you out a new pair of aluminum arms.
This is what they wrote me this morning
What did you tell them was happening?
@@kylegeldmaker I told them that there was way too much slop in one hade to send them a video of that the other the threads were off had to send a picture of that then they decided to replace after I ordered a new set wtf lol but either way they replaced them
@@ihde2000 ok cool. Did you speak with Shade or Ritchie?

I moved all 4 corners to the outer holes and installed sway bars, works like a charm.
So when do you plan on doing the servo savor nut on lol
I already installed it, however of you're interested I'll record a section about it iny next video for the Kaiju. My aluminum arms finally came in and I had planned on doing a video for that first week of March.
@@kylegeldmaker hopefully yours are ok i had to do a warranty on mine they were machined wrong the arms that is
@@ihde2000 wow that's interesting, the aluminum arms were machine incorrectly? What was the issue?
@@kylegeldmaker i think just trying to keep up with demand someone messed up on some mesuments lol
@@ihde2000 do you have the correct measurements? I should make a video about this, just in case it's widespread. How long ago did you receive yours?
Snapped upper arm to n couldn't find replacement that fit tires spent off i sent the truck back it wasn't fun at all like granite better
Can't go wrong with a granite, either!
Which servo horn do you recommend for it? My kaiju came stripped out the box haha
Man, that's a bummer but I can relate 🤣
I would recommend the Redcat aluminum horn, however, if you're impatient like I was the TRX4 model linked in the description works well.
Actually I don't think I linked the TRX4 model, here's the one I purchased: amzn.to/3ukokzU

@@kylegeldmaker my local hobbyshop is traxxas traxxas traxxas..oh and some more traxxas
Servo arm stripped on me too 2nd day
Why is it that no one seems to be able to put together a solid rtr any more? Every single one has some dang issue or another

Why didn't you ajust your servo arm that goes to the servo that's why it has one or take it off turn your car back on reset your servo horn

Your volume is terrible I cannot hear it at all
