Redcat machete gets high speed gearing and a locked diff. How fast is it now? 

Cool, I just installed an 18t pinion with default spur. Testing tomorrow. Thx for the video!

With those hobbywing RTR escs it has a delay between reverse or usually you need to hit it twice. Essentially it's running forward and brake with the reverse and then you kind of need to engage the reverse. I think it's a feature to prevent new/younger owners from having it flying back in reverse alot and then slamming the gas lol. I believe that's how it's set up if you play with it. Kinda gotta tap reverse on and off twice on trigger quick and it engages. You will get used to it pretty quick. Try it out next run. Also maybe try putting 500k in front and 200k In rear. It's 100k stock but might also be because they are a little low too. 👍🏻

Such an awesome looking rig

Question: can you get to the pinion with removing everything? 2nd how’d you remove the fan motor WIRE

Very nice I think when I get mine I might go to a bigger esc and try it I’ve a few laying about .

Nice run,good looking truck i have the shredder. Looks like a big upgrade. I'd definitely get some different batteries. I have one of those and it sucks. Not true to the man or c rate.

Only thing about the machete is that it does not allow you to upgrade to a slightly larger 1650kv motor. I put one in my Mojave and noticed a huge torque difference with about the same speed

Gret pointers, why in the world did they leave a hollow spot in the center of the control arm? Good patch job, put lots of CA glue to! You did get good bashing before it broke.

I believe that screw is probably 1.5mm hex which would make more sense as I've had other trucks have some screws in 1.5mm. I'm just mentioning it for people who might be thinking they have to buy a .050 hex when I believe that 1.3mm and that .2mm is almost like a hair thickness. I just think in the rc hobby 1.5mm is more common wrench on hand so I'm wondering if 1.5mm would work as well?? Just curious. Cause I've never come across a .050 hex head in my time. Just would seem like a odd selection instead of the more common 1.5mm who I'm guessing alot have on hand. Are they pretty much the same? I'm just not familiar with it. Also I'd recommend getting some of the deep hex head screws for your motor instead of those flat ones they use and arrma uses as well. When using blue loctite if they strip which they will very easily creates a massive headache. Those thick, deep head hex screws work best and worth swapping asap for sure 👌🏼

How is it looking now? I want to wake my stock baby up what do you suggest i do, i know u went up a couple of teeth, but have you ran it on 8s?

Did you have any problems with the differentials before you mess with them

I would turn the punch 7 and change brake back to stock. And check the shock fluid.

What pinion tooth? Link??

hey bro im trying to get back into rc cars after 20 years off would this car be a solid choice? my budget is 400$
