Boy, this MT definitely has the look. The retro body and extremely aggressive looking tires do it for me. Assuming this truck proves to be tough (kinda looks like that already.😉) I think the pricing will have this MT from Redcat Racing eating into the sales of the bigger competitors. Nice pick Abby!
Redcat knocked it out of the park. Luv the old school looks & the way it sits. Make a good Stunt type MT even with the long WBase. Goes well on 6s... 💪 👊 I bet there's room to gear it up taller too! TY for sharing guys 🙏
The Kaiju is nice but it needs upgrades like a metal spur gear from losi that the RC community has figured out how to use on the Kaiju. I kept stripping the stock plastic spur gear on 4s and 6s.
I have gotten mine up to 68 miles an hour. There's a bunch of settings that you can get into on the esc that make it a little easier to get full throttle far is taking the punch down and then just gunning it
Wow.. Love this one. I think 400 is a very fair price too. It's got the size and speed of the $700+ trucks. Would love. To see a bashing video from you guys on trucks like this. Speed is great but backflip it. 😉
No, make her fly inverted before she gets to thrash that thing out! I wanna see Abby fly upside down! Btw, that girl is trippin' in this vid. lol. Daaang :)
That truck is a beast on 6s! 4s is plenty for that kind of vehicle. If it was an on road vehicle (Limitless or Infraction) then 6s would be a hoot. I run my Limitless on 6s and it’s fun and kind of scary because it’s geared to go fast. Thank you for the speed run review
SWEET truck!! WHEELIE MANIA? I think your last one was in 2015!! Hint: watch your 2017 Arrma OUTCAST unboxing video! Do another one!! Thanks Saylors for the AWESOME SPEED TEST!! 💟👍😘
I love my kaiju and it is a tough ridiculous fast on 6s and more difficult to reach top speed on success because of the insane amount of power it will wheel stand from half throttle nearly to three-quarter throttle on 6s and hold it that way until you let go
There you go! REDCAT BABY! LOL. great video have fun, it does look like the arrma outcast. If I ever learn how to hit the ramps properly. I will have a lot more fun.
put stiffer oil in the rear shocks. Set the ride height slightly higher in the rear than the front after that. You want to slow the rear compression. Between the body catching air and the suspension not setup, this is happening.
Running 5s in the kaiju is absolutely perfect. Also tape the holes inside the wheels and vent the tires in at least 4 places for way less ballooning. And as I stated this truck loves 5s lipo power. It's the perfect voltage.
if you're looking for replacement tires for this or other vehicles including 1/10 scale, duratrax stakker tires have nearly identical pattern and are pretty amazing in the looser dirt. All I have to compare with are the caldera 10e stock tires, but the stakkers transformed the truck more than going from NiMh to 3s lipo did.
Kinda looks like a '80s Ranger, although straight on the grill looks different. Them scrapes on the roof does add some wear that goes along with the age looking of this truck.
I'm glad I found your channel. I just got a 100$ 4X4 1:16 scale and its pretty insane I was super impressed with it want to get 1 like this now lol. Hey you might try putting bigger wheelie bars on the back to achieve full speed 😁✌
Dont knock that dust cover, my arrma big rock didnt have it, and rocks get into it all the time, have had them bind up the steering, and one even lodged in and started grinding against the driveshaft. had to buy one aftermarket to prevent that.
In my opinion I have owned mine for a few months I love it, tough badger for sure, but 6s is so much more fun if you like backflips it pulls backflips so easy and it will standing flip on 6s
Havent had very good luck with redcat.got volcano brushless monster truck and right out the box the steering arm hit servo when going forward..dodnt realize it right away now it cost 100 bucks in repair.
I really appreciate your videos and that nice blue Monster truck and you’re gonna speed it at the bus parking lot. And which controller do you use to make it go speed?
Move the wheelie bar to the lowest position and the shock to the outer most position for better stability. I love mine and since I have done that it handle so much better!!!
TheRcSaylors I love the truck I believe people are sleeping on it in the stunt truck world especially now that traxxas released that Haas I believe people are not paying attention to this truck!
Nate your a lucky man!!! Because not everybody's wife is so excited about rc cars. More the opposite I think? Great video been thinking bout getting the kaiju.
Get a Hobbywing program card and reset the punch, I have mine set at 3... They come set really high, that's why you have to start slowly with the trigger to much punch setting
I’m glad you said that I don’t own one yet but that’s exactly what I have been thinking adjust the punch setting & maybe adding some belted tires for on road speed runs .
I run mine off of nothing but success you just had to get used to it it's freaking amazingly fun what you get there and yes that thing is damn near indestructible I have cartwheel crashes for 20 feet or so and all I've broken was a body mount
I love the look of this truck BUT considering Dean's connectors are only rated for a Max 60 amps why on earth do they come factory in this truck alongside 150 amp speed controller???
Great question (and observation)! 👍 The manual depicts an ESC with two sets of leads (parallel). Given the 60A continuous/75A peak rating for Deans Ultra, that would allow a theoretical combined 120A/150A draw. I think the manual said 150A/950A for the ESC, so that leaves a comfortable safety margin. However, the product photos show a serial “Y” lead instead of parallel leads. Unless I’m having a brain fart, that configuration puts the entire load through each connector, functioning as a single lead. Therefore, the total load would be capped at 60A/75A, making the 150A ESC overkill. One would have to replace the connectors with higher-rated alternatives or, better yet, convert the leads to dual (parallel) leads to make use of the available headroom. My guess is that the vehicle can’t make effective use (under control, no imminent stress failure) of more than the 60A continuous allowed by the serial “Y” lead, so that configuration does the job and makes the design more flexible by allowing the user to install a pair of 2S or 3S batteries for 4S or 6S power, respectively. With parallel leads, either 4S/6S batteries or separate serial “Y” jumpers (and probably stacked batteries) are needed. If that is the case, the 150A ESC either offered the most attractive cost/benefit ratio or simply made for some really snazzy marketing fluff.
@@chadpollman7970 I'm no electrician it's just from the video something I noticed. I know I've read quite a few times deans get hot easily if you're using more than 3S. These have just been user comments on Facebook. And in real life situations I'm sure amp loads don't peek out for a very long because it's not like you drive around at full throttle especially on such a high-powered RC. Great reply thanks. I've only hooked up car stereos and what not but it looks to me also like most of the power goes through one side and then piggybacks off the other for a short distance.
Good Bless you, Congratulations on you new RC. One day I would lie to get one. I’m on disability and in a wheel most of the time. Disability on pays $800 a month. God bless you and be kind.

TheRcSaylors I thought I’ve been around almost from the beginning, but I do not remember “Wheelie Mania”. 🤔
After a day of doom and gloom it is nice to finish up with the Saylors!
Ill probably get banned from youtube for saying this but I like that they end a lot of videos thanking God.
I love her enthusiasm! I’m actually convinced to get my own Kaiju monster truck! Thx
Boy, this MT definitely has the look. The retro body and extremely aggressive looking tires do it for me. Assuming this truck proves to be tough (kinda looks like that already.😉) I think the pricing will have this MT from Redcat Racing eating into the sales of the bigger competitors. Nice pick Abby!
Yay! Abby got a new rig!! Congrats, I know it's sweet to get something for yourself once in awhile. Can't wait to see you bash her.
Redcat knocked it out of the park. Luv the old school looks & the way it sits. Make a good Stunt type MT even with the long WBase. Goes well on 6s... 💪 👊 I bet there's room to gear it up taller too! TY for sharing guys 🙏
The tires are amazing!. Hope they stay on! :D - Can the wheely bar lower down a bit?.. that might help.
Redcat has been stepping up. My husband and I love The Office BTW!
Im happy you guys got 1 for yourselves. Love mine
Abby is Super Excited!
look at the paint on that body. daaaaam tan lines and all. oh yah nice truck.
Love the video! Especially they way Abby was so excited❤️
I’ve gotta get one of these for my TH-cam channel Redcat is just getting so much better.
Wow, that truck has speed for a 4S, that's some crazy speed for 40 and 43 which equals to 64 & 69km on the 6S
Always delighted to see you both🌹😇
A very fun video! I love your enthusiasm when you do speed tests! You guys have RC fun down pat, period!!!🤩👍👏 Stay safe!❤JP
I LOVE REDCAT
The Kaiju is nice but it needs upgrades like a metal spur gear from losi that the RC community has figured out how to use on the Kaiju. I kept stripping the stock plastic spur gear on 4s and 6s.
Good job guys..just getting into this hobby and so far your the best channel!!!
I bought my three year old son a Kaiju and i have on 3s lipo ,good runs that truck dose on 3s.
👍👍👍 You are a great couple!!!
Everything you do is with excellence! Your dedication to the rc hobby is inspiring!
Thank you!!!
That is extremely nice of you to say. Thank you! 👍😁😎⚓
Wheelie mania with the wheelie king was epic 😁 🎉 only seems like yesterday 🙃 awesome new truck Abbey 👍🤯
The Kaiju is on our list 👍🏼 cool truck for sure
Have you seen our bashing video of it just released tonight?!
TheRcSaylors yes, my son and I just watched it. Looks like a great place to run an rc. I love the big air ramp #sendit
Of course I remember wheelie mania. Been around since almost the beginning.
I crashed my plane , wrecked my truck, sank my boat, ..... I’m gonna take up professional couch testing.
Lol that honestly sounds like fun!! Sign us up 😁👍⚓
Wow great video can’t wait to see the next one!

Kaiju is super cool.. best for the price 👍🏾
Love the Dwight shirt!
Finally a worthy truck on your channel. I do love my Losi"s
Holy Hell!!!!...thhat truck MOVES MAN!!!....love it
Just got one for my son. Need to find a big parking lot now!!!
I love my Kaiju it's my go to RC truck when all my others break the Kaiju keeps going They're pretty tough trucks
cool speed runs,awesome rc and power
Try one of those long low to the ground wheelie bars used on drag racing to help achieve a higher top speed on that truck.
Oh, I remember wheelie mania! Lol what a powerhouse!
No, make her fly inverted before she gets to thrash that thing out! I wanna see Abby fly upside down! Btw, that girl is trippin' in this vid. lol. Daaang :)
high five for watching every single one of your vids. :D
Most epic high five in the world 🌎 🙌 😎 Boooomm!! Thunder ⛈ felt around the globe from that high five! 😎
Wheelie mania was the first video I watched kf yalls😂 the intros killed me😂😂😂
That truck is a beast on 6s! 4s is plenty for that kind of vehicle. If it was an on road vehicle (Limitless or Infraction) then 6s would be a hoot. I run my Limitless on 6s and it’s fun and kind of scary because it’s geared to go fast. Thank you for the speed run review
Isn't that the place where you guys had a car that went so fast you'd literally burnt off the tires from the wheels
SWEET truck!! WHEELIE MANIA? I think your last one was in 2015!! Hint: watch your 2017 Arrma OUTCAST unboxing video! Do another one!! Thanks Saylors for the AWESOME SPEED TEST!! 💟👍😘
Think Abby got the better end of the deal between the wendigo and this. great video saylors and I'm excited to see a bashing vid
Another cool video

Yes Redcat does!! 👍😎⚓
There you go! REDCAT BABY! LOL. great video have fun, it does look like the arrma outcast. If I ever learn how to hit the ramps properly. I will have a lot more fun.
Looks great .
Awesome show as always guys, I'm pretty sure you both just sold me on that truck 👍
That's a beast!

A lot of truck and power for the money great video
Awesome truck Abby and Nate 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎❤️
Hit 56.7 last wk running a 22t pinion!!!! It was scary fast and tires were full blown pizza cutters!
Y’all are fun to watch!
smaller tires and lower, stiffer suspension will help you achieve top speed without flipping
Running 5s in the kaiju is absolutely perfect. Also tape the holes inside the wheels and vent the tires in at least 4 places for way less ballooning. And as I stated this truck loves 5s lipo power. It's the perfect voltage.
Never heard of a 5s battery
@@crazykidksyt2848 wierd that it exists! im always even numbers haha or 1
@@me-rn7jx 3s is probably the most popular odd lipo number, my Vorteks runs 3s
Wow I like it awesome truck the faster the better, awesome job guys 👍👍
Wow Abby...you colour coded your dress with the blue cover on your new truck...
looks good my friend.

Nate can you show us your 2020 rc collection?
You should try the ECX Temper gen2 crawler i think you might like it
Late squad tonight stay safe out there all 😎😎😎😎⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
You too
Kinda looks like a '80s Ranger, although straight on the grill looks different. Them scrapes on the roof does add some wear that goes along with the age looking of this truck.
I wonder what it will be like driving it in fpv? I can't wait to try it 😜

TheRcSaylors Yes I even love it when bashing!
Nate your a lucky man!!! Because not everybody's wife is so excited about rc cars. More the opposite I think? Great video been thinking bout getting the kaiju.
Wow that's insane! Beautifully done, love it. Definitely needs a little bit of nose weight, just a little. 😉😁👍
And yes you can bash on 6s. I do it regularly
Aww yeah. Kaiju is my favorite. I've had one for several months and just bought a second one so I can mod one and keep one stock.
You have other brands too?
@@paulclancy2404 Yes. Check my channel. I'm new at this but have about 10 different vehicles and a new one coming Friday. Gen 8 Axe Edition crawler.
The Kaijus strongest attribute is its runtime. With 2 5200mah 3s lipos, I get almost an hour runtime.
So can I use 2 of my 3S 5000? Will it also run on 1 3S batt🤷
Nice truck. Abbey loves to trash a 4wd. LOL

Nice Truck Abby!!!
Hi Saliors, a suggestion would be to put Redcat Shredder tires on it, it will be more stable and faster.
I run mine off of nothing but success you just had to get used to it it's freaking amazingly fun what you get there and yes that thing is damn near indestructible I have cartwheel crashes for 20 feet or so and all I've broken was a body mount
It kicks butt for the price
Wow! That booger Cruises!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That thing needs to hit a BMX track!
She doesn’t like talking...LMAO... poor Nate 😂 JK. You guys rock!!
wheelie king
I actually preordered my kaiju. I have used it a lot
I have a friend that did the same! He sorta helped convince us this was worth getting. Really glad to hear you like yours! Any tips?
TheRcSaylors... if there is steering issues... replace the servo horn with a metal 25t servo horn. Oh and also tighten the servo saver as well.
Just found this channel. I’m in Grayson, KY!
Im so getting that!
