    In this episode, i give a completely serious and not at all silly review of the Redcat Shredder and why it might be worth considering over a Kraton 8S or an XMAXX.

    I've had one for 2 year's now, only mods are larger wheels and tires. Will be adding a lighting package to it. Mainly run it on the street and will achieve about 40mph on fresh lipos. With it's long body and low center of gravity compared to larger more expensive RC vehicles with higher center of gravity, this does handle better. As a matter of fact I will be running it this weekend, kids on the street like watching and trying to get them and their parents interested in the hobby. Been in this hobby since the early 80s with Tamiya and 10/12 scale indoor carpet tracks, still have these car's and run them occasionally, parts are now hard to find for them. But yeah, great RC for the price!
    Trying to get kid's interested in things other than video games! Be outdoors, tinker, be curious how it works, build, upgrade. Good stuff!

    I’m 3 years in on my Shredder and all is well. I got rid of all 13 of my Rc’s to pay some bills and the Shredder was the only one to make the cut. It beat out the Super Baja Rey, Xmaxx, DBXL and many other big hitters. Not that it’s better than those but it’s the best all around and does everything well. I bashed it out of the box including ramp launched and nothing broke. I have had in on 6s for 2 1/2 of the 3 years and it’s been going 64mph reliably this whole time.
    Things I broke:
    Front hub carrier (40mph into the side of a porta potty)
    Hex pins (have the center diff locked with construction adhesive and took it on dirt)
    One hub bearing failed yesterday after 3 years so I just replaced them all.
    Wheels blew off the rims after the speed upgrade so those were replaced.
    As you can see all the issues were my fault from abuse or speed.
    The 64mph speed setup:
    Arrma Fazon shocks
    Arrma BLX 185 ESC
    Stock motor
    Stock servo
    center diff locked with PL
    Metal Spur gear
    19 tooth pinion
    SRC belted wheels
    2 3s 50c Lipos
    Spektrum Dx3 radi and receiver

      Dang. That’s awesome. People ask me from time to time, “if you could only keep one, what would you keep?” I don’t even have to think about it. Shredder. It’s not my favorite basher, but just like you said, for all around fun- it’s the best.

    I have a shredder and I love it I've put this thing through hell and some and it keeps kicking. Every time I take it out I draw attention. It very fun to drive and can be very nimble at times definitely driving through pine needles and wood chips the name is perfect for what it's capable of doing.

    My local hobby shop had a used Shredder for less than half retail minus shell and batteries. I snatched it up instantly and couldn’t be happier. Cheap batteries and charger and I hope easy to work on. I mean look at all that space in the components bay. Looking forward to shredding my 5 acres with this budget beast with my 8 and 10 year old kids. They’ll remember this for years while they tinker with their 1/18 Tetons. Nice video. Glad I stumbled on your channel. 🙏🙏

    hello thank you for your sharing video this car seems really nice to drive and has a very interesting price/quality ratio and solid when you see the bash that your compatriot OMGC does. but if i understood correctly you indicated that it was fragile at the level of its central differential and servo? and that you had changed them. since your video, is this machine still available and has it evolved ?. thanks in advance for your answer. i like your direct and pragmatic tone kind regards Pascal (from France)

    I have the landslide XTE, it's basically just the 1/8 scale version of the shredder, and I absolutely love it. Redcat makes pretty good RC vehicle's, but $4$, I'd say they are great! I've seen plenty of people just do 6s ESC's in the shredder, and they are amazing. Only thing to watch for, differentials (with all Redcat's). Make sure they are shimmed tight, use 500k in the center, and 100k in the front & rear, problem solved.

    Those points were beautiful last night I went to check out a kraton 8s and the batteries on that thing cost like 200 bucks and the charger is like 150 dollars. And the shredder probably handles pretty much the same as a Traxxas Xmaxx or an Arrma Kraton 8s.

    I've been looking for a large scale RC, buy the near 1k price tag is pretty hard to swallow. This might be a good alternative. I have been pretty hesitant to buy Redcat because I had one that broke all the time (Volcano EPX I think?). Great video, thanks!

      @10thscale I totally agree. I've ran mone for a couple years now and just a loose screw on the steering rack. My esc would go into overheat protection way too often. Seems to not be uncommon, but happens to folks enough to warrant consideration. I replaced mine with a Hobbywing BL150 and run it on 6s now, and still on the plastic spur!

    To be fair, there are connector adapters for the traxxas. batteries, and, with proper measurement, cheaper aftermarket batteries with deans connector, etc... which could also be used. But the value Redcat offers still seems pretty insane. Couldn't compete in any kind of class with this truck, but for tearing around the yard or a public park, the bang-for-buck seems unmatched. I was going to get a 1/16 scale e-revo vxl, but this seems like a better buy, even at the current $399 price tag.
    Which connectors do the redcat batteries use?

    • @10thScaleGarage

I am so pumped to get this thing I wanted something with size either a 1:8 scale or a 1:6 scale I almost bought a vrx cobra 2021 model 1:8 its a bad machine too super fast but I went with the shredder any suggestions you have id love to hear them mine will have the stock tires not the big ones on yours so I'm hoping the differential will be ok.

  • @wesratliff9747
    @wesratliff9747 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really cannot find this information at all anywhere; can it handle 6S out of the box? I'm getting one soon, and of course Redcat doesn't list this - wasn't sure if it was a 4S only ESC. Also going to swap everything over to XT60 - Deans, the cheap stuff at least, is hard to grab onto and disconnect lol Amass has the best connectors, but still - XT60 looks cleaner! :D
    And one more: any thoughts on a 2000Kv BL motor? I have one, unused at the moment - but is a 3660 size. Wasn't sure if that would introduce any cogging on take-off or impose any struggle gasping for torque.. Looks good though!

    • @10thScaleGarage
      @10thScaleGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s an 80 amp ESC. It won’t handle 6S for more than a few seconds/ minutes. The stock motor is capable of 6S on stock gearing.
      Cogging is the result of a motor that doesn’t have enough torque. The stock motor and ESC work well together.

Got a Mugen MBX8 and RC8 b3.1 for us to race but the Shredder will probably bring more joy at the slate parks and bmx tracks because I won't be so worried about tearing it up. Also can actually upgrade from Busch light to yuengling with the money I saved not getting an Xmaxx.

    its 129 for the 4s batteries from traxxas for xmaxx, also 4s batteries require a 100 dollar min charger from traxxas (you show the 50 dollar one, would only work for 3s batteries - i have one for my 3s rustler 4x4 vxl) agree, lot of money for a big toy, but the genuinely explosive power of 8s puts you in awe. My rustler is smaller and is seems crazy powerful being 3s, 8s plus the size of the xmaxx - cray yo.

      @@10thScaleGarageGreat video! Considering one of them due to your video. Can you list the modifications parts (I'm new to this)? i bought two a traxxas slash 4x4 vxl (I got the fox body) for my son and i to ride out the pandemic lockdown in NYC. They're really fast, parts are easy to get (great support) and there good for starting out except for the price. The reason i say good for starting out is we repair basically after every outing. I feel it's great cause 500 screws to remove on repairs and such help you learn about R/C's more. We modified the crap outta them, but they break ALOT! So i was going to sell them but really have no need to. Next is the Arrma Senton BLX. It's a much better alternative. At $299 vs $379, and a hell of alot more durable. Biggest knock on the Slash is it's a horror show on turns, probably a great drag or Slagster... I believe the repairs on my traxxas will make my marriage survive the pandemic, lol.... Have fun...

    • @10thScaleGarage
      @10thScaleGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The cheapest batteries I found for my outcast 8S was 175 for the pair. Close to $200 for batteries. Compare that to $60 for the equivalent batteries for the Shredder. Nothing wrong with 8s, I own one, but running 4S is substantially cheaper no matter how you slice it.

      That’s a great question. I don’t have any experience with the TRMT8-E, but that vehicle is 6S capable and 8th Scale, so definitely smaller, and probably a bit faster than the shredder. I had the TRMT10-E and it was tough as nails. I loved that thing.

      How hard is it to conervt and run good on 6s on shredder. I know the Kraton has way more options as parts. I'm new to this I started with the stampedw 4x4

    • @10thScaleGarage
      @10thScaleGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would personally recommend a bigger pinion as opposed to converting it to 6S. Redcat is always conservative when it comes to gearing on their vehicles. Upping the pinion will give you more top end. I run mine on stock gearing and it never gets too hot. If you wanted to convert it to 6S you could, but you might reach the stress limitations of some of the components.OMGRC has a few videos on how he converted his to 6S. He basically just modified the motor mount and put a hobbywing Max 6 on it. He eventually changed it back to 4S.
      If you’re after speed, go Kraton 6S. If you’re after durability, I’d recommend the shredder. That’s just my opinion. My Kraton is a 10th Scale 4S. I love it. I’ve never owned the 6S. I’m just basing my opinion off of the reviews I see.
