Just put together the Wendigo kit last night (rolling chassis no body yet). I took it out side to test run the chassis. 3S 25C 1100MAh pack. No kidding, within 30 seconds (might have been less) the plastic steering tie rod end where the servo meets the steering tie rod broke at the plastic hoop where the metal ball joint goes through. Just sheered under SERVO STEERING POWER. We're not talking a Reef's Triple 7 or some other crazy power servo here either! Icronicly I am using a Hexfly (redcat brand) 25KG servo (which i believe is the same "amazon" 25KG servos, just rebranded!).
Within 30 seconds or less of running it I'm going have to pull that part and use the 1 remaining replament that comes on the parts tree! I contacted Redcat and they were happy to have me fill out the warranty form to get a replacment, which is good customer service, but the guy seemed "shocked" like he hasn't heard of this before. Yeah right! I asked about aluminum replacements. They don't have any, but in his words "we have different hopups on order".
This is no different then my Redcat Gen8 Scout II. Everytime I've ever taken that crawler out I've had to replace a part. No joke. And I'm not hard on my stuff. This is an expensive enough hobby. I don't need to bash my vehicles. That damn Gen8 is nearly 100% aluminum at this point! I have dozens of crawlers from nearly all other brands, including "non-name brands" like MST, GMADE and RST along with all of the top brands like Traxxas, Axial, Tamiya, Losi. None of my other vehicles have I had to replace something that wasn't direclty as a result of me pushing it outside of it's intended design and usage and even then, very rarely. Redcat on the other hand, I can't even test out a rolling chassis for 30 seconds without something breaking!
Their stuff was better was it was just rebranded chinese stuff!
You can't buy a Redcat without first knowing that what you think you "saved" because it was WAY cheaper than competitive models will be MORE than made up for by purchasing replacment parts and "hopups" to prevent future breakage!
Get it together REDCAT!
Take off the black roof panel, it looks way cooler :)
I have a Redcat Blackout XTE with flat no dished wheels and that thing fell over if you looked at it . Put some Volcano dished wheels on it and it made a world of difference .
Hello, I really like how you have set up your Wendingo.
Can you tell me what light bar you put across the top, and what rims and tires you put on it?
Great improvements on performance you have changed the handling so much with relatively straight forward tweaks ,can't wait for the wendigo to reach the UK.
Thanks for watching. I’ll have more upgrades and tweaks to come.
Nice run! Truck looks great outside 👍
Thanks
Looks like some great changes to make it fun.
Yes sir and more to come. Thanks for watching.
adding a servo saver helped save the rod ends on my Wendigo.
Looks fun I want one who cares it's awsome plus 15 bucks for metal link ends sweet but I think you have it set up perfect now it seems
Thanks for your videos 👍
I'm looking at buying one of these and it's great to know what to do to this thing when I buy it.
Your welcome and thanks for watching.👍🏻😁
Gracias por compartir el video
Great vid and great upgrade. Can i use the stock esc with brushed motor and program with hobbywing card for crawling? Thanks for your time!
what bumper are you using on this rig?looks great I would like one for my own rig. also what was the rod length you used for your steering link after you added the metal ball ends? the lights also look great on your rig what model lights are you using?
Amazing video
Thanks sir
Great improvements. I had good luck smoothing out response by using a larger spur gear.
Thanks for watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What tooth count spur gear did you use? I'm wanting to slow mine down a little and I'm not sure whether or not to change the pinion or spur.
Sorry J. I got your comment. I'm not sure it will show up for Triple X. =) I can't remember what gear but, because of the larger mass. It gives the pinion more teeth to run on. Takes the Quick bite out of it.
@@rctrailcats3492 nah I was actually asking you! I was wondering what spur you swapped in. Unless it was for a different rig then disregard me lol
@@jeremys.4423 Ha,ha! It was an Axial tho.
Nice improvements..!! Did you happen to change the pinion gear.??
Those end links didn't strip out, they snap back on! That truck uses ball screws (unless it isn't like every other RC vehicle on the market), and those end links snap back onto the ball screws!
I'd call it a basher! Everything I've seen of them they are just bashing a hole in your pocket! Not worth the $$
and efforts to make it halfway good imho. Thanks for sharing mate. God bless.
I have my beliefs & keep them to myself ... you should also
Triggered much? Lol
@@fastdude2002 whutchu talkin bout,dude
Can you post a parts list of the upgrades??
Nice rig. Glad you finally like it. What light bar are you using?
Yeah, where did he get that?
Great video,ty.. you spelled "Children" wrong in the warning.. lol
Quick question, do you think if you put a short wheel base rc4wd Mojave body on it,would it fit? Thanks.
Where did the bumper and the light rack come from?
Recently acquired a Wendigo and according to Redcat, that program card is not compatible with the RTR Hexfly nor the RTR Hobbywing ESC. How did you get it to work?
So .... how much of an expenditure to get it "solid"? - Steve
Other than the axles and body, is this the same as a redcat gen8?
how do i set clawler mode
I put some aluminum link ends on the front sofar an it's caused added slop in the steering. Any suggestions on how I can correct that?
Not sure I ran it for a while and found my steering wasn’t good and the links I bought and changed out to from China started falling apart. I’m waiting for club five racing to come out with their version of steering links.
What Light Bar?!!!!!
I snapped the rear pinion ... pavement wheelies on 3S
Dang! 2.2 tires are big Tires and wheels are big and on a 3S I guess you found the weakest link. Thanks for watching.
@@triplexrcgarage1499 I ain't been able to drive mine in a while ... ordered the pinion shaft through my LHS (25 miles away) Longview Wa. yep they're closed.Do I have to buy from Redcat or where can I order the part from,any ideas.Yours is looking nice,the stock shock springs seem kinda boingy.Stay safe
I may have missed it. Did you adjust the ride height, to have more ground clearance?
No just different tires from wheels and 8 mm extensions
Oh, that is posted at a good height. It looks higher then some competitors.
Where did you get your blue beadlock rims? Can't find any anywhere
those rod ends ever work for you? ive ripped out 3 rod ends so far in three different spots. only had the thing for a few weeks
broke 2 on first battery .. just snaped the diff pinion 3s is a lot for it but ya need the 3s for the slow speed torque so motor dont cog ... i knew if i bought one id beat it and break it... not for crawling.. it is an awesome hill climber and mud truck
So keep it on 2s?
What bumper and lights do you have in this video??
What light bar do you have on there?
Is it all use Gen8 parts to change on wendigo?
The only thing that was not Gen8 was the shocks and the axles. And of course electronics.
All it's missing is a drag brake
What rod ends are those?
