@ problem with Acorns is Squirrels, those little rats are not as cute as they look! Suit up before you go anywhere near them Acorns Dude, I have experience!
That RC truck is pretty much the bees knees! It's been on my bucket list for a little while now. I'll never be able to afford one but enjoyed watching your video. I entered the raffle fingers crossed you put that thing through the paces. As always Evan..... great video buddy. Keep up the good work, man.
I have the OG kaiju and its been absolutely bulletproof so i picked up a valkyrie and im equally impressed with it. Redcat is paving the way for low cost high quality rigs.
I cant say the same for my Kaiju, fun truck, and fast, but first crash i broke the front wishbone. But I love the truck, I'm definitely afraid to bash it.
I also got the Black Friday deal!! Loving the Valkyrie handles surprisingly well!!! I bought a Kaiju body and painted it up and it seems to keep the dirt out a lot better than the stock body and looks awesome!!And so far seems pretty damn tough! Awesome video!! 🤘🏻
Man I need one of those. They seemed derbable as hell in other videos but i dont think i have seen anybody beat the sgit out of one like that. Those breaks are totally reasonable lol i mean the front tire almost touched the back tire! Great video!
This is another great test and review. I am surprised that you didn't break more plastic parts in the cold weather. The truck took some odd landings coming off the jump. It's an impressive truck. It seems the servo was the only issue. It's strong, but slow and didn't center. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I was surprised it took so long to break anything too! Someone else commented that the servo saver is the not recentering culprit so I’ll check that and I’m excited to use it again!! Thanks as always my friend!!
I know it's hard to please everyone but it would have been awesome to see the valkyrie running at a MX/ATV track, or some type of baseball field where there's fine loose dirt, but i still enjoyed it, Awesome video though man 👍🏾
Ya the BMX track i mentioned that was tarped over was my plan for that. I have a few vids with a baseball field coming up too and try not to use the same location too much in a row. Unfortunately for this one I had to improvise. Lots of rain lately too so no loose dirt at the moment. Thanks man!!
This is such a badass truck for the price especially. I really am impressed with mine, not quite a outcast 4s but the diff's are big enough to run 6s.. but stock battery strap's seem designed for a 3s
Been waiting on this video to drop! I got mine last week too and im super impressed with this truck so far! Haven't been able to run it yet because of work and weather but this weekend for sure! Oh hey also yeah the new design on the shocks are threaded on the ends. Funny you only got 47mph or 48mph, must be the cold because alot of other guys were getting mid 50s i believe when it first came out
You won't be disappointed. I've only driven my Xmaxx once since the Vigilante was released. That was to let my Traxxas fan buddy drive them back to back to prove him it was better than the Xmaxx. Vitavon gears and its bulletproof
PS: double check your shocks. Redcat actually let some out of the factory with the old non-threaded ends. Do RC got a truck with 3 old style pressfit shocks and one new one. You might wanna check both trucks before the contest ends, so redcat can send you replacements if necessary. 10:20 xt90 is the stock Hobbywing connector for the EZrun ESC line.
@ broke a leg, well fractured the b!tch ass thing(pardon my French)working it with my therapist 😳should have seen the look on her poor face when right below my right knee made a crack in’ sound like a 🍗 chicken leg… crazy times bro
I do hear ya! The body is a bit bland but I did like it more than I thought I would once I pulled it out of the box. There is also a truggy version. Thanks!!!
What an awesome freaking truck. Love it. Another awesome video like always. Now I want one and I want one pretty darn bad now. Thanks a lot!!!! LOL LOL😂😂. Would like to see a video between the Omni Terminator carbon edition or the 10th scale MJX hyper go and this truck.😮😮😊👍🙏🙏 You can't go wrong with either...
i was waiting for you to review this one , but bruh , hooow much i need to wait for that maverick quantum2 flux , great job btw that's real waterproof car
Man , the two new red cats seem 👍👍. It’s been cold up here. 18 degrees and now 26 today but it’s a lot nicer than the last two days . Bro, one of those single or double top tank heaters that go on a propane tank works great for a garage and last me a while . I usually go through two tanks a year . For the garage , it’s nice when it’s super cold . Today I’m at the local twp park . Noone is around and there’s a nice fire in the pavilion . I have a Kraton 6s and granite 4s going out for one more bash soon as they charge . Yeah man 👍. Have a great weekend . I thought stuff might break and it may yet but everything seems ok so far .
Pretty dern cold!! I am about to order a 5000watt 240v heater. I want something I can just keep on and set around 45-50° so I can store paint and stuff without it getting ruined every winter. Sounds awesome! That’s the good thing about the cold. Big open spots that are usually full of humans are much thinner when it’s not nice out 😂
Man that truck took a beating!! Seems like it landed right side up almost every time, like those old Weeble toys... Weebles wobble but they don't fall down, remember those? Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! Oh, it's too damn cold up there!! Nice cool 60 here in Texas right now!
Have been using ec plug with xt 90 for 3 years now with no problem. But its on a crawler so less worry. Fit is a bit loose therefore may not suitable for bashing
Xt90s are the go to for bigger 4-6s but aren't horizon products. Ec5s are essentially a xt90 with a different body. Used in alot of the 6s stuff. You put this bad boy through its paces!! Love how you always run them like you stole it lol
i like your videos more then kevin’s cause you review that actual budget rc’s, kevin’s idea of a “budget rc” is an $800 car it’s so annoying. thanks for all your hard work into these videos your doing great!
I totally agree 100% and it's annoying that he busts them up and like you said the $800 cars he calls cheap. I think he forgot where he came from. But you know it's Christmas everyday........😮😂😂😂@@ch-vs3fw
@JoseyWilds in fairness they never let go while they were still in there, but ya they’re just hanging on by a couple Velcro threads if you use a 6200 100c 😂
Mating the XC90 with EC5 is something I do too. 😂 I think the bravest thing I do is occasionally mate XC60 with deans 😂 it works.. it’s NOt recommended at all. Cold weather bashing is something we don’t understand in Hong Kong fortunately…not jealous about that. Well bashed bro…now back to Netflix until I see your notifications again!
Thanks man!! Dude I’m so sorry. I just lost my grandpa and grandma about a year apart and seeing my dad and his siblings go through that just sucks. Not easy at all so I’m glad I could help! On top of that, also within the same 12 months I lost my other grandpa, my uncle (on my mom’s side) and a dog 😢. It’s awful but keep your head up! ❤️ Thanks again!!
EC5 connectors are not bad they are just more loose compare to xt90 and that's why they disconnect so easily i have the same problem which is not a problem they are just different connectors. XT90 with XT90 are very tight connected so you will not have problem if you convert some batteries with ec5 connectors. About the servo saver i have read from other channels that if you tighten the saver maybe it will centerise the servo better but i am not sure i have never try it but you can try it. About the drive shaft that stripped i have the same problem with my traxxas rustler and Hoss they strip easily the driveshafts especially the Hoss strips very easily the driveshafts and i must upgrade to steel driveshafts.
I've done the EC5 into XT90, honestly it's not the worst battery sin to commit. I don't do it regularly, and really i just end up using adaptors, but you can't get cheap xt90 adaptors because they WILL spark. Pay extra to get the Amass brand ones, because i didn't at first and now one of my terminals is turning funny colors from arcing. The body shell on that thing is so nice. I saw on another video some viewer said it looked like an ugly red hot dog, but i think it's the second finest classic pickup body after the Big Rock. It looks great. And now with Red Cat and Rag Ring Bull, you can combine the two to make Red Bull or Rag Ring Cat !
Ya it was more annoying than anything. Came unplugged many times when doing the jumps at the end lol. The body is a bit bland, but it’s a good type of simplicity. I love me some classic pickups!
Colder than what now?? 😂😂 Dude, Redcat is at the top of the game right now - they have absolutely killed it with everything they've released lately! Seems like you need some better stickers, and I just happen to know where you could get some really sweet ones with a very cool logo on them! 😁
Haha!! 💨🧊 🥶 Ya I agree most of their latest releases look pretty epic! That scout looks awesome! I’ll have to hit up the DerbyCity Merch shop! 😂😂 Oh ya those CK4RC stickies look sweet too!! 🌮😆
It's heavy. I picked it up at the LHS. $230 for a durable 4s fast RC is a good thing. I just have too many parts that I need for my current rigs and I have no more room for another rc. Good stuff bud.
Yoooo I see 25k subs coming up soon !! Truck looks fun, my omni terminator has been down with a broken remote triggr, might get a dumbo, any radios you prefer ??
I should of picked it up for Black Friday. The price was unbeatable, I wanted something to bash for the winter. Don’t think my 1/5 would last long in 20 degree weather.
It really annoys me that the rest of the industry has settled on the semi proprietary Horizon connector when XT 90 is so much better. Mainly because of the anti-spark connectors.
EC5 has a rating of 75 amps continuous. Xt90 has a rating of 90 amps continuous. And the xt90 anti-spark is 100% useful. My EC5 and off-brand xt90 (you want Amass branded xt90 anti-spark) connectors always spark when plugged in and they're starting to degrade. I used to love EC5 until I tried xt90. My xt90 battery terminals are all pristine.
Hi, for sure, we like new toys, but is it really a Monster truck ?! a truck yes ! i like the body, but it's seems not cheap for a 4S RC ?! and i saw vdeo where the red cat was meaby more a fragile ..Mouse !! but it 's a pleasure to see you enjoy ! 700box ? ok it's the Valkyrie, i thought was the Vigilante 1/5, for the price seems nice ! for sure you drive hard too !!
It’s definitely in the style of a monster truck with the big tires. Not as monstrous as some 😃. Didn’t seem fragile to me but likely a few spots I’ll see break over time I’m sure!

No overheating issues? I had to upgrade to a 6s esc because it kept cutting off on 4s 100c batteries
Not at all. Not even close actually. Everything was pretty much cool to the touch but again it was super cold outside. Did you have those issues in summer? My batteries were also 100c
12 วันที่ผ่านมา
@@DerbyCityRC i got the truck recently, like 2 weeks ago and im in Canada, so I can only imagine what it would be like in summer
I don’t have the Kraton 4s but I have the outcast 4s. It’s been a while since I’ve driven it, but I think I liked the Outcast more. I like them both for sure!
My front axels break all the time. I have yet to run one battery pack through it. Actually it hasn't gone more than 5 minutes without breaking and I've jumped it maybe or 5 times. The customer service department is great, however, parts take forever and as soon as they get a new shipment of axels in, they're sold out. At least it has a 1 year warranty. Sometimes I think I should've gotten something else. Oh and it starts cogging like crazy and eventually stops responding all together. I think I got a lemon.
That’s so weird. Is it the plastic or is it the axle pins that break? I’ve heard the wov pins will work and are stronger. Might need a slight modification maybe?
The front shocks are horrible out of the box just change the oil and its fine. So far the MT doesnt have the overheat issues the tr like mine has. They should have fixed it by now but make sure your shocks have thread on caps if not they will send out new ones. Yes its a great rc at a crazy good price enjoy. Fun story its on my channel I took the MT to Wales delivered it to another TH-camr because you cant get Redcat in the UK.
What weight oil did you use? I assume they’re fixed and none broke like the wov one did. Super glue fixed it! 😂 oh nice!! Ya it’s weird they don’t have logistics for international shipping now that they’ve grown a bit more.
@@DerbyCityRC I put 30wt in mine Redcat says thiers is 40 but it seems a bit thick but who knows lol now the shocks are free to move and not get stuck down you could open the holes in the disk up as well to me its easier to change the oil
Hearing good things about this, may have to look at one. And brakes that don't cause front roll overs too. See ya Rlaarlo, your customer support has pushed me away as if the other issues didn't. Oh yes, and that Arrma, looking there also.
@@DerbyCityRC Oh yes, I'll keep an eye out for that, not buying it but will have a look. I don't get why they did the X12S, should have been the X10S on the OT platform.
I know! I was so excited at first thinking it was on the OT platform, and I’m sure they will have one eventually. It’s still good but we all wanted bigger lol
I bought the red cat valkyrie tr and it is pretty good but the biggest problem you'll find is that the back axels on the front and back are extremely brakable ive had 4 of them brake in under 3 weeks and thats just make driving it no jumps nothing at all jusy straight driving and my step dad has the valkyrie mt and it has the same problem the axles are a huge week point but what makes that a problem is that red cat doesn't have a upgrade for the axle and im not spending $20 and spend 20 minutes installing them and they brake after just one run. Some last longer some dont but till red cat makes an upgrade for the axle its a sitting duck and its already been 4 months and 3 days for me and still nothing. I am planning on buying a used traxxas e revo 2.0 from e bay i really want one.
And by axle i mean drive shaft or cva or whatever there called but yohr front one didn't jusy brake because its cold out i only played with mine in warm weather around plus 15 or higher and they brake super easily
@@DerbyCityRC Last question and i will leave you alone 🙂 Based on your video I did added a center diff and widened my Granite 3s brushless. I also added metal diffs front and rear and will go 4s with it soon. Do you think the Valkyrie is different enough to spend the $300 or would you save the money for something that isn't a monster truck. I have the Granite, the MJX 10208 and an Omni terminator for monster trucks (1/12 and bigger). I don't have a good rally car or racing buggy that that money could go towards. I could always sell the Granite and buy the Valkyrie if there is a big difference. Thanks brother! ps I just use them for fun jumping and racing friends.
@@DerbyCityRCwhen putting my Valkyrie next to my OG Kaiju they are almost the same size with the Kaiju rated as a 1/8 6S. The ground clearance and width because of the tires make the Kaiju seem a tad larger. But Length wise they are very close. I know some have said that the Kaiju was a smaller 1/8…larger 1/10th? Ha ha whatever that size is in between is what it is I guess 🤦♂️🤷🏻. I will say though the OG Kaiju is so friggin awesome. I mean it’s basically an MT8 right? Cool video as always budz.
Bruno can beat the snot out of it like I have been for the passed 7minths since the telease. Adjust ur servo to faster. It makes no sense that it works. But it makes it work better. What it is is the steering is slow then it’s all the way at lock. So the speedier it is in those mid sections it makes it ezier to control. But after months all I have broken is cvds arms steering links and upper arms. No drivetrain brakes. Just the body looks nasty now too. But what u expect send after send at mountain bike park.

1:21 Two hands 🙌 and a Go-Pro headset would solve that. 🙄 You have good video quality, editing, and personality though. 👍🏾 I will say… I bet RC manufacturers don’t like cold-weather content creators testing and breaking nearly everything on their vehicles. It makes the product look bad even though the breakage is 80% a cold weather issue.
Even with 2 hands they’re tight. I’m glad. Kept me from losing them. Thanks! They might not but it’s good for people to see. I stated pretty clearly that the cold very well is an issue so hopefully most people got that.
Give it another 30 mins and the Fr/Rr Driveshaft Assembly is gonna snap off at the pin. Dang it. Ive got to play with mine for a legit 30 mins and it snapped. Ugh what a terrible day
Not to mention i also broke the ackerman link 3 mins into driving it. Was just driving it in my yard not 1 jump or crash nothing. And this is as soon as I got it. I do have the truggy version of this truck but they are identical just different bodies.
@@DerbyCityRC yeah i sent them a message they told me to file a warranty claim but they have been out of stock with the part for like a month now. And the only place I could find hopefully a replacement is buddyrc but it's for the wov truck not the redcat. So I'm truly hoping it's the same part otherwise I'm out of luck. Redcat did say they are looking at a fix for this part though so HOPEFULLY they find a fix for it.
Did you order the pin or the steering part from wov? I believe the axles will fit. Or atleast the pin does and it’s supposedly a better style. Someone else commented that. Of course the steering arm may too. Hopefully Redcat gets it back soon but more so hopefully the wov part works!
I have 4 Red Cat trucks - love them all! Fro the money, they are great buys! Kaiju is my favorite.
I do always hear (mostly) good things about the Kaiju!!
@@DerbyCityRC Kaijus are fun. Drop in that 6s, it's like putting it into Insane Mode 😊
Yes the Kaiju on 6s is a superbeast
Love my OG Kaiju!
Beast of a platform, luckily we now have PD Racing. "Leaf' Bashing could be a thing you know, those American ones look gnarly!
Yes! Beast for sure. I’m about to make “Acorn” bashing a thing here soon 😆. Atleast they don’t sneak up behind people!

On top of that, also within the same 12 months I lost my other grandpa, my uncle (on my mom’s side) and a dog 😢. It’s awful but keep your head up! ❤️ Thanks again!!
time to yank the longer control arms and those wheels off of the wov and build a ultra wide valkinstein, with a better servo of course
Haha! Not a terrible idee-er! 😂
The servo horn has a bunch of slop built into it.. thats why it doesn't center.. i just put a standard metal one on
Sweet, thanks! I should have a spare one somewhere!
EC5 connectors are not bad they are just more loose compare to xt90 and that's why they disconnect so easily i have the same problem which is not a problem they are just different connectors. XT90 with XT90 are very tight connected so you will not have problem if you convert some batteries with ec5 connectors. About the servo saver i have read from other channels that if you tighten the saver maybe it will centerise the servo better but i am not sure i have never try it but you can try it. About the drive shaft that stripped i have the same problem with my traxxas rustler and Hoss they strip easily the driveshafts especially the Hoss strips very easily the driveshafts and i must upgrade to steel driveshafts.
Good info thanks! Ya even ec5 to ec5 do separate on occasion.
I've been telling everyone it's a good and tough truck! I have just had esc problems but glad to see you didnt
No probs yet but now I’ve heard of some heat issues in the comments.
5:07 Its not a Derby City Bash without someone getting hurt🔥
True!! 😂
I've done the EC5 into XT90, honestly it's not the worst battery sin to commit. I don't do it regularly, and really i just end up using adaptors, but you can't get cheap xt90 adaptors because they WILL spark. Pay extra to get the Amass brand ones, because i didn't at first and now one of my terminals is turning funny colors from arcing.
The body shell on that thing is so nice.
I saw on another video some viewer said it looked like an ugly red hot dog, but i think it's the second finest classic pickup body after the Big Rock.
It looks great. And now with Red Cat and Rag Ring Bull, you can combine the two to make Red Bull or Rag Ring Cat !
Ya it was more annoying than anything. Came unplugged many times when doing the jumps at the end lol. The body is a bit bland, but it’s a good type of simplicity. I love me some classic pickups!
Love y'all
Colder than what now?? 😂😂 Dude, Redcat is at the top of the game right now - they have absolutely killed it with everything they've released lately! Seems like you need some better stickers, and I just happen to know where you could get some really sweet ones with a very cool logo on them! 😁
Haha!! 💨🧊 🥶
Ya I agree most of their latest releases look pretty epic! That scout looks awesome! I’ll have to hit up the DerbyCity Merch shop! 😂😂 Oh ya those CK4RC stickies look sweet too!! 🌮😆
@@DerbyCityRC sticker swap! That should happen! 😆
Woohoo! Yup!!!👍
Just ordered one yesterday for $250!!
Killer truck. That park looks awful familiar....
😂😂
It's heavy. I picked it up at the LHS. $230 for a durable 4s fast RC is a good thing. I just have too many parts that I need for my current rigs and I have no more room for another rc. Good stuff bud.
Thanks!!
I would love to own the Valkyrie MT but idk if it makes sense since I own an OG Kaiju.
That truck is a steal at $300 bro!
I agree!
Yoooo I see 25k subs coming up soon !! Truck looks fun, my omni terminator has been down with a broken remote triggr, might get a dumbo, any radios you prefer ??
Still my favorite truck of 2024. Oh u gonna get over 50 onna warm day. And this thing likes to land on its feet.
I should of picked it up for Black Friday. The price was unbeatable, I wanted something to bash for the winter. Don’t think my 1/5 would last long in 20 degree weather.
So far seems like a decent one. Stay away from big jumps til it warms up a bit 😂
@ I heard it gets toasty, hyper flow fan
Mine didn’t but yes I’ve seen that in the comments too. Interesting!
I've been wanting one since they came out ... But only thing that has stopped me is the red body... Wish it was blue 😢
It really annoys me that the rest of the industry has settled on the semi proprietary Horizon connector when XT 90 is so much better. Mainly because of the anti-spark connectors.
Is XT90 better? I’ve never even had a car with it so I just don’t know lol. Got tons of xt60s, deans, and EC5s.
EC5 has a rating of 75 amps continuous. Xt90 has a rating of 90 amps continuous.
And the xt90 anti-spark is 100% useful.
My EC5 and off-brand xt90 (you want Amass branded xt90 anti-spark) connectors always spark when plugged in and they're starting to degrade.
I used to love EC5 until I tried xt90.
My xt90 battery terminals are all pristine.
Heaty McHeatface!🤣❤
😂😂 I should have a Heaty McHeatface version 2 by the end of the month 😂
I got a fat christmas bonus and went and ran to my local shop and grabbed one of these
Cool!!! A great truck!!!
Evan, 300 bones is Team Associated MT 10 territory. Which one would *you* pick between those two?
@@ch-vs3fw This. Way faster and insanely tough. 6S isn't a problem for factory drivetrain at all. The front and rear differentials are enormous.
Hi, for sure, we like new toys, but is it really a Monster truck ?! a truck yes ! i like the body, but it's seems not cheap for a 4S RC ?! and i saw vdeo where the red cat was meaby more a fragile ..Mouse !! but it 's a pleasure to see you enjoy ! 700box ? ok it's the Valkyrie, i thought was the Vigilante 1/5, for the price seems nice ! for sure you drive hard too !!
It’s definitely in the style of a monster truck with the big tires. Not as monstrous as some 😃. Didn’t seem fragile to me but likely a few spots I’ll see break over time I’m sure!
No overheating issues? I had to upgrade to a 6s esc because it kept cutting off on 4s 100c batteries
Not at all. Not even close actually. Everything was pretty much cool to the touch but again it was super cold outside. Did you have those issues in summer? My batteries were also 100c
@@DerbyCityRC i got the truck recently, like 2 weeks ago and im in Canada, so I can only imagine what it would be like in summer
I did the same and it's a missiles on 4s now
Interesting. Maybe it was a faulty ESC. Nothing seems to be binding on the drivetrain? Rolls smooth? Curious to see what happens next time I drive it.
I kinda wish I got this over the Kraton 4s.
I don’t have the Kraton 4s but I have the outcast 4s. It’s been a while since I’ve driven it, but I think I liked the Outcast more. I like them both for sure!
i almost got one of theses put went with the team corally kagama 4
Glad you like that one!!
My front axels break all the time. I have yet to run one battery pack through it. Actually it hasn't gone more than 5 minutes without breaking and I've jumped it maybe or 5 times. The customer service department is great, however, parts take forever and as soon as they get a new shipment of axels in, they're sold out. At least it has a 1 year warranty. Sometimes I think I should've gotten something else. Oh and it starts cogging like crazy and eventually stops responding all together. I think I got a lemon.
That’s so weird. Is it the plastic or is it the axle pins that break? I’ve heard the wov pins will work and are stronger. Might need a slight modification maybe?
The front shocks are horrible out of the box just change the oil and its fine. So far the MT doesnt have the overheat issues the tr like mine has. They should have fixed it by now but make sure your shocks have thread on caps if not they will send out new ones. Yes its a great rc at a crazy good price enjoy. Fun story its on my channel I took the MT to Wales delivered it to another TH-camr because you cant get Redcat in the UK.
What weight oil did you use? I assume they’re fixed and none broke like the wov one did. Super glue fixed it! 😂 oh nice!! Ya it’s weird they don’t have logistics for international shipping now that they’ve grown a bit more.
@@DerbyCityRC I put 30wt in mine Redcat says thiers is 40 but it seems a bit thick but who knows lol now the shocks are free to move and not get stuck down you could open the holes in the disk up as well to me its easier to change the oil
Hearing good things about this, may have to look at one. And brakes that don't cause front roll overs too. See ya Rlaarlo, your customer support has pushed me away as if the other issues didn't. Oh yes, and that Arrma, looking there also.
It’s a good one! Atleast my rlaarlo buggy video gets interesting 😂. But I get it! The typhon is lots of fun too!!
@@DerbyCityRC Oh yes, I'll keep an eye out for that, not buying it but will have a look. I don't get why they did the X12S, should have been the X10S on the OT platform.
I know! I was so excited at first thinking it was on the OT platform, and I’m sure they will have one eventually. It’s still good but we all wanted bigger lol
I bought the red cat valkyrie tr and it is pretty good but the biggest problem you'll find is that the back axels on the front and back are extremely brakable ive had 4 of them brake in under 3 weeks and thats just make driving it no jumps nothing at all jusy straight driving and my step dad has the valkyrie mt and it has the same problem the axles are a huge week point but what makes that a problem is that red cat doesn't have a upgrade for the axle and im not spending $20 and spend 20 minutes installing them and they brake after just one run. Some last longer some dont but till red cat makes an upgrade for the axle its a sitting duck and its already been 4 months and 3 days for me and still nothing. I am planning on buying a used traxxas e revo 2.0 from e bay i really want one.
And by axle i mean drive shaft or cva or whatever there called but yohr front one didn't jusy brake because its cold out i only played with mine in warm weather around plus 15 or higher and they brake super easily
But good content i will now subscribe to you and give a thumbs up
Is that Dio? What song ? Thank you!
Reminds me of my Hyper Go 10208.
to be fair its way better than the 10208. I have and like both, but the redcat feels like its in a hgher league.
Ya they’re similar but I’d say this one is a bit more premium. Definitely like both!
Completely agree! Both are great!
@@sgtoster Gonna have to add it to my to get list.
@@DerbyCityRC Last question and i will leave you alone 🙂 Based on your video I did added a center diff and widened my Granite 3s brushless. I also added metal diffs front and rear and will go 4s with it soon. Do you think the Valkyrie is different enough to spend the $300 or would you save the money for something that isn't a monster truck. I have the Granite, the MJX 10208 and an Omni terminator for monster trucks (1/12 and bigger).
I don't have a good rally car or racing buggy that that money could go towards. I could always sell the Granite and buy the Valkyrie if there is a big difference. Thanks brother!
ps I just use them for fun jumping and racing friends.
I got the 8S version but I think I should have got the 4S because the 8S is so heavy
The Vigilante? It’s quite a bit bigger too!
Are those metal rims?
They are not. Just chrome looking plastic lol
How would you compare it to the redcat Kaiju
Unfortunately I don’t have a Kaiju. I hear good things and the older blue body looks super cool. I want to say it’s 1/8 scale so might be bigger?
@@DerbyCityRCwhen putting my Valkyrie next to my OG Kaiju they are almost the same size with the Kaiju rated as a 1/8 6S. The ground clearance and width because of the tires make the Kaiju seem a tad larger. But Length wise they are very close. I know some have said that the Kaiju was a smaller 1/8…larger 1/10th? Ha ha whatever that size is in between is what it is I guess 🤦♂️🤷🏻. I will say though the OG Kaiju is so friggin awesome. I mean it’s basically an MT8 right? Cool video as always budz.
Nice track
The jumps are awesome (*^-^*)
Tough RC🚙
Thanks!
Bruno can beat the snot out of it like I have been for the passed 7minths since the telease. Adjust ur servo to faster. It makes no sense that it works. But it makes it work better. What it is is the steering is slow then it’s all the way at lock. So the speedier it is in those mid sections it makes it ezier to control. But after months all I have broken is cvds arms steering links and upper arms. No drivetrain brakes. Just the body looks nasty now too. But what u expect send after send at mountain bike park.

I have 10 red cat vehi like them all.
Derby city as in Louisville? If so, im local lol. Used to be a group here called derby city bashers that i ran with once.
I got my answer from the video lol, that church you were at is where I go to do donuts in the snow😅
Haha! Good parking lot for that 😂
Yup!! Sweet!
@DerbyCityRC be careful at the bmx track, they will run you off 😆. Don't ask me how I know
lol! Which one? The derby city track at Tom Sawyer or the little one at the yellow silo?
1:21 Two hands 🙌 and a Go-Pro headset would solve that. 🙄
You have good video quality, editing, and personality though. 👍🏾
I will say… I bet RC manufacturers don’t like cold-weather content creators testing and breaking nearly everything on their vehicles. It makes the product look bad even though the breakage is 80% a cold weather issue.
Even with 2 hands they’re tight. I’m glad. Kept me from losing them.
Thanks!
They might not but it’s good for people to see. I stated pretty clearly that the cold very well is an issue so hopefully most people got that.
Whenever I plug two different connectors together, I zip strip them and then they’ll fall apart
I have done that before too 😆😊
Give it another 30 mins and the Fr/Rr Driveshaft Assembly is gonna snap off at the pin. Dang it. Ive got to play with mine for a legit 30 mins and it snapped. Ugh what a terrible day
Not to mention i also broke the ackerman link 3 mins into driving it. Was just driving it in my yard not 1 jump or crash nothing. And this is as soon as I got it. I do have the truggy version of this truck but they are identical just different bodies.
Crazy it didn’t happen with that first bad front flip attempt. Must have been really hard on that shaft but I can see that happening! 😢
Redcat is known for having great customer service. Did you reach out to them?
@@DerbyCityRC yeah i sent them a message they told me to file a warranty claim but they have been out of stock with the part for like a month now. And the only place I could find hopefully a replacement is buddyrc but it's for the wov truck not the redcat. So I'm truly hoping it's the same part otherwise I'm out of luck. Redcat did say they are looking at a fix for this part though so HOPEFULLY they find a fix for it.
Did you order the pin or the steering part from wov? I believe the axles will fit. Or atleast the pin does and it’s supposedly a better style. Someone else commented that. Of course the steering arm may too. Hopefully Redcat gets it back soon but more so hopefully the wov part works!
I think you hate Winters😂, to be honest i will love to die in -30 C than sweating in summer 🤣
If anyone can convince me to buy this RC truck it'd be you😂
😂😂😂
You can't say durability without my brain replacing it with dirbability 😉
Haha! This is my ultimate goal in life, so thank you! 😊 😂
Do... your chickens... gobble? Are they multilingual?
😂 I was seeing if they were scared of turkeys. Nope.
I got the Valkyrie but I can't control mine😭
Dude , I be checking for new videos from you daily 😂😂
Haha! I wish I could get them out daily!
Oh yeah, let's see how derbable this is.
😈😈😈🤜💥🤛
Is it the cold that's making it run slower? I get 59mph in 4 s on my Valkyrie
@dwainestill82 interesting!! It could be but I don’t think it would affect it that much. Yours is completely stock? Also the MT and not the Truggy?
