There's something really funny about the drone hobby VS. the r/c hobby. With drones, we've been going smaller & smaller, and more compact and foldable. With the r/c cars & trucks, SIZE MATTERS, and the bigger the better, LMAO!!! I love being a part of both hobbies and I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE ENJOYING YOUR'S!!! "Enjoy your hobby... whatever it is!" ...POW!!! -djsoulforce!
Lol 1/8 is funner than the smaller scales, more power, usually faster and take more of a beating, the bigger the funner, id be trying the pirate 3 shocks on it lol
I miss your vids sir!! Fyi you are one of my favorite Rc channels. Your channel has got me thru rough times in my life(divorce etc....). I hope you are doing well, take care and God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you for the well wishes and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. I'm taking a break from TH-cam but will return one day soon. Thanks!!!
She runs great, not sure what’s up with the front wheels. This is still an awesome affordable RC that is brushless and 1/6 scale. Great work on the upgrades. Cheers 🍻
Sounds like front differential believe me I know upgrade on Old gears was going to fail got my Shredder running awesome at this moment glad to see you running it on a 6S system bro welcome to the 6s family💪👊
Thanks for watching and the feedback bro. I still have yet to run it on 6S as the noise and diff slipping has gotten worse. I hate working on diffs, but I'll take your advice and go back and rebuild the front diffs. Since this video, I've rebuilt the center diff, of course, since it's the easiest to get too, but I'm having a bad slipping problem, and oh, the noise is horrible. Updates coming soon. Thanks again.
@@DJSOULFORCE so when you do 6s try this turn the punch level down factory set at 4 I haven't ran mine on 6s with the punch level at 4 since I replace the front differential I would have thought the rear would have went first but it was the front so check your front first I will make a video to show everybody what I've done for upgrades in the drivetrain happy flying happy driving
You got that thing running great, with all the mods you did to it. And you had someone checking your truck out during the test run. Another great RC video. Is it getting hot yet down in SC?
Yes, hot & wet!!! It's been raining off & on for the past week. We're under flash flood warning as we speak, lol. Thanks for stopping by Ron, happy flying brother!!!
Bump that trigger speed up in the esc she will launch a lot faster. Then you will be sure needing that wheelie bar. I drug out Dirty Red and the spare parts. Be seeing ya soon. She sounds good Brother. God Bless!
Don't max throttle on 6S on plastic Spur gear unless you put marine grease on spur gear and pinion gear first before you head out.. I striped my spur gear and replaced it with another plastic spur gear but steel spur gear shipping out mid July due to Pandemic. I took out all stock electronics until both my Surpass 150a ESC burnt out going max throttle in hot California. Gonna try to make a cooling system for my 3rd Surpass 150a ESC with a liquid cooling system + thermo electronic peltier from Aliexpress.com but as of now I installed two BEC with twenty 5v fans running at 12.6 volts straight from 3S lipo battery + a bunch of lights, laser lights, and green & blue neon lights. Gonna add ARC generator & other electronics. I am buzz drinking wine. LOL. I love this freakin Shredder. I can't stop thinking about it. I am about to order a 2nd one mainly for 8S system with best upgrades and never run it.
Wow, you are a big Shredder fan. So am I, i'm also thinking of buying another one to modify. By the way, I changed out that plastic spur gear a long time ago!!! Thanks for watching and your feedback!!!
I routinely get about 300 feet or so, which is a lot better than I was getting with the Redcat TX. I plan to swap it out for a DumboRC receiver soon! Thanks for watching buddy!!!
Where did you get the shims for the shredder? I'm not sure if mine has any. I opened the center diff and it had nothing except the gears, no washer. 🤔 I'm wondering if they sent me a used model or used diff. Looked kinda cheap.
For my center diff, I used a small washer I had laying around the house. There was no washer or shims from the factory and hardly any fluid in there at all. I've been told that the diffs are the weakest part of the Shredder, what a shame!!! Thanks for watching and your feedback.
Hello my friend, hope ya doing good, how long since you flew the x380? Mine has been on the shelf for ages and not flown cos of our restrictive rules :(
Hi Mark. It's been almost a year since I've flown mine, but as you know, I plan to review it again in August. It will be her 4th or 5th birthday!!! Stay well my friend, thanks for watching!!!
@@rcas350pilot8 Straya = Australia :) I quit flying which i have done for 40yrs and now they set rules and costs for us, so no thanks and now i play games on net. Good luck mate :)
Hey soul force help me out if you would please. Dogs just ate my drone wasnt too expensive. Looking for a drone with a good camera, ability to hover in place for a bargain any suggestions? Thanks
Any experience with the Potensic D88 Foldable Drone, cane with a case to protect from my crazy dogs and brushless 2k. Looked awesome and overnight delivery. Is this a good one?
Unfortunately, yes! It's getting harder and harder to fly these days with all the restrictions and bad weather!!! Thanks for watching buddy, more drone videos to come soon!
I just purchased a shredder and have many questions and struggling to get it running how I like. I also can’t no find many good information videos. Is there a way I can contact you to ask you some question please ? It would help me a ton!
I agree with you and I often run the Shredder FPV - You might like these videos: th-cam.com/video/cQTVOdSRZTQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/tBmqv_Q7cq8/w-d-xo.html More to come, THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
Yes, I would! My Shredder is over 9 months old now and I have bashed it beyond it's $359 price tag. If mine falls apart, I'm buying another one... can't beat that price bro!!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@DJSOULFORCE sweet 👍 have you had any problems with the internal diff gears, or the crown and input gears? Have tried shimming them? Ive gone through just about every 1/8 scale monster truck out there and a couple x maxxs but i haven't tried the shredder I've seen videos where the center drive shafts just fall out first run and the diffs can't handle much power but id love to try to beef up the differentials see if it can handle at least enough power to wheely that long chassis 👍👍👍
@@DJSOULFORCE also you should definitely check out the team redcat trmt8e BE6S! One of my all time favorite trucks ever! It's super durable it will do standing back flips on 6s easily and all the gears and drive shafts are huge 👍
Wow you diff probably died by now but I thinks it's you're diff's!! Need to shim it better, I've had that happen so many times, recognize that sound anywhere.

Big girl running good 👍🏾,you're becoming a real mechanic , 👍🏾😎👍🏾
Getting bored with staying at home, so I'm constantly "wrenching" lol. I think I can take apart the Shredder with my eyes closed 🤣👍💪🏿🍺💥POW!!!
I have Hobby Max10 120 amp esc and it has like 10 or 11 settings too. i run it on 3s in slash 4x4 and it dont even get warm. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and your feedback!!
Whatz up Soul Force? Nice video, I got to get me one of those.
You should! Gotta have something to do on those windy days. You can also drive around the house, FPV!!! POW!!!
It seems to run just fine with the bigger esc, as you know it is all trial and error when it comes to working on these rc's. POW!!!
That's for sure bro! Thanks for watching!!!
Bump that trigger speed up in the esc she will launch a lot faster. Then you will be sure needing that wheelie bar. I drug out Dirty Red and the spare parts. Be seeing ya soon. She sounds good Brother. God Bless!
Thanks for watching brother and your tips. I still have yet to set up the ESC, this was just a quick test run to see how it handles! Thanks bro!!!
Just mention your name tell him Papa Phil I listen to you my Shredder runs
Looking good Bro!!!
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!

Also what sites do you get your parts because I find redcat parts but none for the shredder model ?
Go to RedcatRacing.com or just do a Google search for Redcat Racing Shredder Parts. Thanks for watching and your question!
Hey soul force help me out if you would please. Dogs just ate my drone wasnt too expensive. Looking for a drone with a good camera, ability to hover in place for a bargain any suggestions? Thanks

If you could go back to right before you bought this truck would you get it? Is it worth it? I've seen it fall apart alot

Thanks bro, you were right. I just hate working on the Shredder's diffs, so hard to get too!!! Thanks for watching.
It does sound like some missing teeth on the gears. Just a guess Bro
Yeah, I think you're right. I have lots of spare parts, but it's such a pain to remove them 😢!!! Thanks for watching bro!
CHINA DELIVERED! LOL
I was shocked at how fast it got here!!! Lol
