If your 3 wheel motion is anything but a 3 wheel motion then this video could be for you.
It was really annoying me how this #RedcatRacing #RCLowrider #Chevrolet #1979MonteCarlo had the tendencies to rear #3Wheel specially while its rolling. So I figured out an easy solution to remedy the annoyance.
Watch this video on relocating the battery and deleting the battery tray. I show you how to do it and what to do.
So watch and enjoy. I hope that this video is useful to you.

Hey you are right, I also don’t like that goofy “rear up wheel” look it’s NOT realistic! I ain’t never seen it on a real lowrider, it’s stupid ! Plus all this is trail n error, that’s why it’s called custom you thought outside the box and you found a solution even if it means cutting up your car n it’s your car that’s the beauty of it we all don’t think alike that’s what makes this hobby cool 🤗 ……. Continue what you’re doing! out of all the redcat 64’s n Monte utube videos out there this one is one of my top 5 saved 👍
thank you I really appreciate this. my goal for my page is to showcase and help and if I can help just even one person then I've done what i intended to do.
yeah I've never seen the rear 3wheel as I call it. i believe its also called Dogleg🤷♂. I have never seen a real lowrider do it.
you are 💯 on being a custom as in do what you do 👍
The easiest way to accommodate this with out cutting anything is simply add Automotive sticky weights on the trunk pan area. $2.00 bucks work of weights and your set. Hope that helps most of you wanting a solution with out cutting up the car.
i thought about putting weights in the trunk but i did not want to add more weight to the whole chassis.
until i get the upgraded servos for hopping then I will have to reconsider more weights at the back.
Just picked mine up will be looking into that little trick. Thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
if you want to hop up car tho more u can put silver plates with weight in the back but not to much so the battery can fit back there under the truck and not in the way of the magnets.(optional: for better pop 2 new servos for the front tiers)
I’m in the process of upgrading this Monte for hopping. I got the needed goodies for it but need to set it up right and need more weights.
You didn’t lose the swing acting by doin that ?one of the reasons it had the wheel goin all the way up is so that you could make it dance an do the swing action!!!!
swing action? sorry not too familiar with the car dance move terms. i only knew it a bit and old school. i just know f-b-s-s, corner to corner, seesaw, around the world, pancake, locked up, 3 wheel which I only consider it only at the front. It annoyed me when it tried to rear 3 wheel and it looked goofy and unrealistic.
i guess when i change it to the reefs 300(when i can afford all 4) i will understand it more then.
@@Felgood808 that’s understandable!! I was thinking also about the reef’s servos but to get all 4 at once it’s kinda of expensive then it actually goes to Krazy with em I think in my opinion it’s to much but everyone has different likes !! But nice job you did on yours 😎👍🏼
@@soy1de3aztlan I hear you. The cost of all 4 reefs 300 servos will cost more than the Monte kit. I searching other fast servos comparable to reefs at a cheaper price.
@@Felgood808 yea each one runs around $129 + tax it will be more than getting a new Monte !!!
@@Felgood808 realistic would be some slow servos like on a real "street lowrider" that doesn't hop but just goes up and down side to side slowly with a loud compressed air sound
What I don't understand, is they got the green light from Jevries to hook it up red cat style but then you see Jevs post videos of all the modifications hes making after they come out. Why didn't they just collaborate closer to provide these fixes from the beginning? This is another example. Ty for sharing
exactly but it could be due to many factors. my belief is that as a company they are limited due to safety issues etc.. if they are totally free and clear to do what Jevries has been doing then they need to continuously collaborate with Jevries and pick his brains. Jevries is the key.
i am glad that Redcat continues to support the RC Lowriders and i hope they keep on providing what the base is asking and wanting. they own this market and they need to always be ahead or they will left behind like how others are making other clear body shells for the chassis and other parts...
thank you for watching.... alowha🤙
Cool!
great tip 👍.. gonna do that thank you
Thank you. I hope this benefits you. 👍
Not a good thing to do. It will change your cars balance and it will flip over doing 3 wheel turning. I found out the hard way.
it already did during a high speed 3wheel turn on a bit of a hill and scuffed the paint off the bottom of the side mirror and took out the chrome trim off the corner of the rear bumper. i just noticed that only when i do it at high speed it tends to do that but i gotta remember that Lowriding is cruising low and slow then I should hit the 3 wheel motion. i just wanted to rid of the goofy rear 3wheel motion and the sometimes 2wheel motion pictured on my thumbnail.
im also prepping it for hopping so trying to distribute more to the back. i did notice that the rear is now real heavy due to the nimh battery so im looking for a lipo that will fit perfectly in the trunk.
Hi is it the speed and torque of the servo that makes it hop
Yes but not alone. You’ll need the suspension, bec, 3s lipo battery, and maybe front servo and/or motor relocation.
I did my defeat I put one straps in middle and I use Reedy Wolfpack LiPo and I'm buying weight so I cute enough room to push strap though the middle of gas tank but I can only use 1/16 traxxas lipo batteries and Reedy Wolfpack LiPo Battery my other batteries to to big to fit back there like my 4x4 stampede 3s lipo or my 1/10 erevo lipo batteries
i thought about doing that too but wasn't sure if it will get rocked around when rolling car dancing, or rolling 3wheeling. so much i need to reconsider once i upgrade my servos for hopping.
you should make a video of your lipo tryouts to fit. id love to see what lipo battery would fit. im also trying to see what would fit in the trunk. im a visual person so its hard for me to shop around online. i need to see it personally. i had too many failed tryouts via online shopping🤣
Do I need the same size head also in order to make the same modifications? I tink mine shmall kine bigger. Lmfao.
Nice mod bro. Just picked up a Monte chassis & I hate that peeing dog stance it does. I going have to figure out another way for add the batt to the back though cuz I making a Buick GNX body for the chassis for make like an old regal 😂😂
Keep up the cherreh work cuzzin. Garranz subbing for more content. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
My bad. I don’t get comment notifications on my YT Shorts for some reason. I just saw a few comments just now.
I’m not sure what you meant by the same size head.
Thank you. I love Regals too. I wish somebody would make a non-GNX Regal body though. Is the arrivals trunk space too limited for the battery?
Thank you again and alowha🤙
@@Felgood808 Brah, honestly, I never proof read before I submitted the comment & I’m confused myself to wtf I was tryna say. My bad.
I was thinking battery, but I know battery size no matter for this, so yeah, dunno what the hell I was trying to ask.
Haven’t touched my Monte chassis yet, but I gotta do something like this & keep the trunk somewhat open cuz I going build a speaker box in the back for the trunk setup. Already cut out the hood for an LS engine bay & steady looking for a more affordable option than the REEFS servos to make the front hop at least.
In any case, mahalo for the reply braddah. Sorry for the confusion in my prior comment. One day outta nowhere it’ll hit me to what I was tryna ask. Lol. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@sNxUCExhAVOk all good bro no worries.
i haven't touched mines too after all my current axial scx24 micro crawler builds.
i too will be doing engine too. i have 3 different types in my work bench but i was trying to keep it hush, hush🤣. but its very tricky to install due to how the engine bay and the hydro set up is in the front. its so much easier with the impala cus only 1 servo to the front and the servo is not even at the front.
thank you for replying too and hopefully we get to see your build process in YT.
Can the Monte Carlo hop by adding the weight and battery to the back like the 64
It needs more tweaking than just adding weights. I’m currently trying to figure it out. I got lead weights in the rear and gotta hook up the CC 10amp BEC to see if it will get it to the point that I want. I also got a 3S LiPo battery which helps.
Are all those servos brushless servos
I don’t think so.
I want it to do that
You did not have to cut it use small 3s lipo
I wanted the weight of the nimh battery at the rear and did not want to fork up the money to afford 2s lipo let alone 3s Lipo.
This time around though I’m not cutting it specially my other chrome one.
Why not just get a shorty?
I do have shortys but need to add lead weights though.
how would i make this all from scratch to work
Best way is remove the stock battery placement and relocate battery to the rear pan. The Lectron Pro 3s lipo battery is the best one to fit exactly into the rear pan but it is a bit costly. However you are going to need the 3s anyway for hopping so it’s a win win.
cheers@@Felgood808
If you don't want to cut anything get a smaller battery 😒
I already explained this in one of the comments.
Basically, I could not find one that fits the exact well in the trunk so it would not bounce around and bump the walls. I only found smaller ones but i would need to line it with cushions all around the battery. I have extreme OCD when it comes to LiPos.
My solution was to just cut slits to size of the velcro straps and strap the battery. But another problem is that its too light.
