That skid plate tongue had an issue rubbing my Revolver 540s and made it feel bound up. I used a 2mm spacer on the single front bottom screw that goes into the motor plate and it's good now
I love this kit (I saw one at a local shop) and I hope Santa or my wife puts one under the tree. But, I also want a Redcat Ascent and I am wondering if you can do a review and discuss brushed(budget vs brushless (higher end) (Revolver maybe?) motor setups for both it and the VRD Carbon. I will own both trucks (it's a sickness 😉 ), but the gearing and stock motor choices in the Redcat leave me with some questions on proper turn count or KV options (The VRD already has lots of videos with examples and I am sure you are going to discuss your choice in another video). Thanks in advance!
You almost made me disassemble one of my R/C to put it back together rofl, than I realized I would be left holding a screw....does it happen to anyone else? Thank you John for another great video, can't wait for part 2.
I built mine over the Thanksgiving weekend. Wonderful build, great Kit. I'm betting you got the stubby conversion kit with the behind the axle servo mount. 1:30 in I'll shut up and watch now 😉✌
Funny you compared the ascent and this kit. I bought the ascent on release due to price and have put a ton of packs through it. I'm about to start this kit build though bc I liked what I saw seeing some other people's higher quality(than redcat) rigs. I'm almost finished with my parts gathering.
When all else fails read the instructions 😆😆😆, I'm old school all manual twisty, have to resist the natural inclination to Bamm Bamm everything though.
Anything with bread that has stuff between it is a sandwich, regardless of whatever fancy name it has. lol I give you credit for at least trying to use the manual. That is real growth, buddy! 😂 It is funny how they write those manuals in the proper order you need to build the truck, eh? 🤣 Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood! lol We were just talking about that movie on last week's live show on the channel.
I got a buddy in the UK that makes part's from carbon fiber that he gets from a producer of f1 race team carbon part's. It's so much stronger then any other carbon ive come across. His aluminum 7075 is a grade above everyone else's also. Witch makes his part's the best on the market. But the price reflects the quality.
Pre-built shocks?! I was REALLY hoping for a shock build segment, if not an entire video! Was that believable? Did I stretch the truth too far on that one?
I definitely would much rather use electric to put stuff together my buddy Josh which is Prophet design his Plastics I don't know exactly what they're made of but my goodness when you tighten down a screws literally it will stop you
What is this??? Mr. Holmes, is reading instructions... That's sacrilegious. Nevermind, I take it back... didn't watch long enough before commenting, just pulling out the instruction book confused me, lol
I love how everybody buys pre-assembled and then wonder why the damn things leak LOL they damn sure don't use green slime or other o ring lube thats for sure..lol😂 shocks are one of the most important parts of your suspension.. time should be taken to build them right .. and yeah everybody takes the lazy route
