#FactsNoFiction
Good stuff
I’ve got the pro version and you are right with how it’s hard to drive them but if you give the front tires some toe-in it really helps keeping it holding a line but it would be advisable to do the upgrades to the suspension as well as the control arms and anywhere else that you can.
Thanks for commenting. The pro version of the SC is a handful. Toe in definately helps stabilize and centralize the acceleration and high speed straight line stability. On the brushed version its all much tamer and in a way perhaps more fun to drive. The Blackout pro truck is OK. The Blackout pro buggy xbe is another bit of a handful. We'll bring more vids of those in the near future. Andrew, ThirdCoastRC
I enjoyed a great video let's be friends.🤩🤩🤩
우리 친구 해요!!!
I just got this truck and need to find out the tire size
Hello ! Thanks for the input! I believe that today this is the best 4wd brushed truck (quality / price) because the arrma have already raised their prices, kyosho is never in stock, traxxas is in parts and 4wd cars for very high prices! I currently have a kyosho axxe (sandmaster) I have not used it yet but from reviews on youtube, you can see that the car will not support more than 20 mph because the crown is made of plastic ... we can place a brushless system but we will end with the differential and crown in a few plays .... and this redcat is above 20 mph and it is seen that its crown and differential will hold that speed for a long time ... greetings! and the parts are easy to get, cheaper (kyosho currently has the few parts out of stock!)
Thanks for your comments. The brushed version of this truck is very good for the price. Great starter car. You can also look at the Imex VRX Samurai with a full roll cage, either brushless or brushed. That is a great short course truck as well. It's a little more expensive but very good. See one of our more recent reviews on You Tube.
You can put slightly larger short course duratrax C2 tires on them and trim the front of the body with some scissors and you are good to go and get amazing traction.
Could you take the sc pro and upgrade the xte make it the brushless system
do they come with bearings or bushings?
Anybody know the maximum suspension travel that can fit for after market shocks?
Does anybody have an 3s system they don't need my 2wd slash died and I can't afford the upgrade.
This is really tempting. I have a vintage losi xx buggy (94-ish) I've debated on reviving but wonder if I'd have more fun with this.
I would try and find a bearing kit , if it has standard servos it’s like $15 each for Amazon servos if it’s controller is dead you can get a good controller from flysky with a lcd display for like $40 and then you need a Motor , esc , and lipo you can get a brushed motor for $30~ esc for $40 ~ and then you still need the gears and broken parts if you can find them
@@Andrew-hh3ol thanx. The original motor and battery have gone missing actually. I even have the original charger and Futaba magnum radio tho. I wouldn't waste time with old NiCad batteries obviously but not looking to turn it intros thrasher, rather just kick around and tease my dogs with it if I were to bring it back to life.
@@tbok75 well it’s either lipo or NIMH brushed motors are like $30 it’s mostly electronics that are expensive
@@Andrew-hh3ol I'm good with nimh. Just fast enough to keep the dogs entertained. Lol
@@tbok75 yeah, you can find some of these trucks for like $100 on eBay usually needing a couple parts like the shock retainer or needing a motor
I was hoping to see how the mud flaps are mounted on
Would you recommend this for someone who is just getting into the hobby?
Yes, for sure, to see if you like the hobby at an affordable price point with good performance, it's a good choice.
Can you upgrade this to a brushless motor?
Not problem upgrading to a brushless motor. It's also available as a brushless version. The brushless version is a handful and over powers the chassis. I honestly prefer it in the brushed setup.
Are there other bodies to paint and design on your own?
Hi There, this is a slightly smaller footprint vehicle than say a Traxxas Slash, but there are other Short Course trucks and other style bodies that can be adapted to fit, you just have to get one with the correct / near dimensions and wheel base. Thanks. Andrew, Third Coast RC
does anyone know if this body is interchangable with the phirana by redcat?
Hi there. The Blackout body is not a good fit on the Piranha. The piranha is a little too narrow. Andrew, Third Coast RC
The thing that holds u the shocks fell of mine
are the diffs in metal?
Yes the diffs are metal. Andrew ThirdCoastRC
Is the motor waterproof? I want to run this truck in the snow. I understand that I will have to waterproof the receiver.
The trucks are splashproof. You should be good in the snow. Brushed motors will run under water, so no worries there. That's how we used to break them in back in the day. On the blackout try and water prooof the receiver and the ESC a bit if you can. Small zip lock bags work well for this. If you run in the wet then spray the bearings and drivetrain parts with WD40 when your done. Then bring the truck inside to dry as soon as possible.
What size is the servo, I have a servo from my traxxas stampede and would that fit?
Yes that should fit. It's a standard sized servo.
How fast is this truck?
25mph and it handles really well. Thanks, Andrew, Third Coast RC
do you know how fast it goes
About 25mph. Thanks for your comment.
@@ThirdCoastRC thank you for responding
Thanks I was wondering this as well
How does a battery usually last when racing it around?
The battery it comes with. About 20min
I bought one they suck because mine was super slow and the batteries and electronics struggle
It is now February 2024. I just dropped Red Cat racing because they stop putting parts sheet and break down sheets of their trucks in the boxes. That is just stupid ,you have to have those sheets so you can order a part when you break them out.
Yes. I like a paper manual too. They do have them on their website as PDFs. Other manufacturers are doing the same thing.
are there any recommended upgrades to get right away with this one?
Not too many, you may want to grab a set of the aluminum threaded shocks, BLH-0011GM. Some front lower arms, BS213-007 (or the aluminum version, BLH-0002GM). Andrew, Third Coast RC
@@ThirdCoastRC thanks! I'm really new to this stuff, getting my kid into with me. Is there a vid that explains the differences in batteries and what would be an "upgraded" battery and why one would want it?
@@oldmanrenz6882 In this truck, the first upgraded battery would be one with more capacity. Same NiMH chemistry, but more mAh. Like a 5000mah. That will give you slightly more punch and a longer runtime. The next upgraded battery would be the same chemistry but more volts, through one extra cell. A an 8 cell NiMH at 8.4v instead of 7.2v. This would give you more speed. But you may need to fabricate a better way to hold it in as it has an extra cell on top, it's called a hump pack. The stock battery bar would not hold it in the car. Velcro straps. After that you would move to Lipo, which will give more speed too, but needs a different charger that can charge lipo batteries. If you want to know more about that, then let me know. Andrew. Third Coast RC
@@ThirdCoastRC thanks SO much for the help Andrew! Just subbed to the channel. It's being delivered on Fri, so I just wanted to see if there was something I should be getting. Almost every video I see talks about different batteries and I'm just trying to sponge up the info! So you would recommend the 5000maH 7.2 and like, a quick charger?
@@oldmanrenz6882 The stock battery is an NiMH 7.2v I think 3000mah. It will take 3hrs to charge with the supplied wall charger. A better charger would be a good option, especially if your thinking of expanding into the hobby more. Get a good multichemistry charger. Get it from your local hobby shop if you can. But otherwise you can get battery and charger here from our store.

Pls respond to this comment I need to know if it is worth the money
It's worth the money. For $155 ready to run, you can't go wrong. I was running our demo model last night and it handles so good on the concrete. We are considering setting up a stock racing league with these trucks.
$155 ??? Thats a good deal.
Where is it that price? Amazon has it for 189
I just got one for $139. Pretty damn good for a quality first RC
Lol brummy
These puppies are sold out
All over the place .. terrible.
Many manufacturers are having difficulty re-stocking after the holidays on sold out starter trucks. It is problems with the factories due to Covid restrictions in China, slow downs in shipping and getting them through customs here in the US. We are seeing the end of month as date for these to become available again.
