The Fkin! Shredder Master! REDCAT BE VERY AWARE,this guy is taking all of you’re business no doubt! Redcat better get on building a beast like this one.
Thanks for all your support! When this channel tops 1 million subscribers you’ll know you were one of the first to get the channel there! You guys are the best! I humbly thank you! ☢️🤙
Welcome to the Shredder family did mine a few years ago like you said trial and error just for instance where you are snapping the pins I experienced that too so my solve was use heavier pins I ended up using Arma 1/8 scale no more snapping at the wheels I did it inside and out on all four wheels my Shredder rips if you get a chance check it out I enjoyed your whole video I'm running the BLX system Copperhead 2 tires arrma notorious shocks with the Milt built anti-skid spoiler I have a few videos on my Shredder ripping I didn't do any differential work but it still pulls the front wheels peace out I just can't resist watching a shredder and you have two of them😊 and your mods are extremely beautiful peace out
Thanks for watching welcome to the channel! Thanks for the kind words and advice on the hub pins. I love the Shredder platform and the BLX brand. The channel has lots of Shredder videos. One you have to check out is (The worlds only dual motor Kraton and Shredder battle to the death) Thanks for being here and contributing to the conversation. I will check out your videos. 🤙🏼☢️
Thanks for being here welcome to the channel! I’m really liking the Rovan 24mm tires. I’ve got some road crushers great tires! I like those for speed runs. I want a tire they can handle both. I am running 24mm hubs on both these rigs so I am buying the big boy tires. There are lots of Shredder videos and builds on this channel. I hope you check them out. 🤙🏼☢️
Thanks for watching Phillip! It’s comments like this that keep me going! Thanks Phillip one day in the future you will see my clutch and transmission or ones like it on every RC like it was standard equipment! Your seeing it here first! ☢️🤙
What’s up marvinlewis1879 welcome to the channel! I didn’t want this particular RC to be a high speed runner just get from A to B super fast super fun. It’s on an 18 tooth pinion right now it’s all I can do to hold the tires together. I have a brand new never seen before design for the Shredder for 2024. I hope you will see how it measures up to these two beasts! Thanks for being here! 🤙🏼☢️
Hey man that thing looks 😎 cool... if i could make a suggestion as a fellow racer.... It seems like your purpose with this build is speed so we gotta go back to basics..power to weight ratio and traction. The reason why you cant get up to speed is because although cool looking those things are tanks.. meaning they weight a ton and since you added more weight with the huge steering servo, huge batteries ang huge wheels and tires, active wing and the weight of the transmission itself ...... well you get the idea, it seems good on paper but have you tried putting it on a weight scale? No wonder you keep braking hex pins.. Im not hating on you my friend I hope im not misunderstood. Im guilty of that myself trust me I have a fair share of overbuilt rc projects...lol But in resume its way too heavy for its own good... also that chassis tire width and contact patch doesnt help put what little power you have to the ground and you end up with a swirly ride going from side to side.. My suggestion..??? A little downgrade actually...I GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK. - smaller and lighter precision steering servo(regular size way lighter) - go back to 17mm hex(24mm is uncalled for, big, bulky, HEAVY - 17MM belted will do the trick pass 70mph (waaay lighter with a wider contact patch for more traction) - hex spacers, not good looking but self explanatory, theres no choice for wider arms and axles soooo... - ligher battery 🔋 - transmission is gimmicky and NOT NEEDED. It doesnt help if theres no "ON THE FLY" shifting to provide extra speed and you got massive torque with being electric anyway, theres no reason to not being able to "wheelie on command" with 6S power while still achieve 70+mph without a 2speed...unless your rig was so heavy that wouldnt go pass 55 -lastly...the wing kills you. If your rig weight is like 15+ pounds and you add even more weight with the servo mechanism and then the extra downforce.... have you ever stuck your hand out the window of a moving car at 50mph? The wind pressure is such to move your whole arm even when you fight it.... this effect adds extra pounds with your "active aero" What I would love to see is you move in the right direction... as a proof of concept make it light or even build a 3rd one super light that wont break as much and will go way faster with the same powerplant, bigger pinion, couple of pound lighter, wider with more traction and way more stable. More weight is nof equal to more fun, it's actually your enemy in this hobby, it only equals to more wear and tear, more friction, less stability and less speed with more money to spend. Theres a reason a $115 Wltoys does 45mph out the box on 2s and 55mph on 3s, that my friend is the same reason a traxxas rustler does 65mph out the box on 3s (with a pinion) and Arrma 3s will do 50mph and their 6s will do 60-70mph+ As a builder and hobbyist, It feels a lil underwhelming to over build and underachieve. I hope it helps, all in the name of FUN, blessings my friend.
Thank you for watching and thank you for such a thought filled comment! We’re all racers here and we’re all trying to share ideas about how to go fast reliable. I have many RC cars that go well north of 100 miles an hour speed was not the purpose of this build. I have a bulletproof method that I use on the differentials that I wanted to show everyone that it could take whatever you threw at it even 12s. Yes there is a lot of weight but it weighs 6 pounds less than my Xmaxx and 11 pounds less than my K8s. The power to weight is still far better than any other 1/5 scale RC. I keep breaking hex pins because Redcat provides an inadequate small pin quite smaller than even a 6S Arrma. I ended up manufacturing my own in my metal shop and no more problems. I agree with you with the tire contact patch I am changing out tires today. I’m never going back to 17mm tires there a waste of time in my opinion the 24mm gives you many more options and tighter belted tires. As far as the transmission goes I’m not sure how far you made it through this video or my others but this is an in fact a shift on the fly transmission. The trans is not gimmicky I don’t have to change pinions when I want to do cookies in the dirt to a speed run. That’s the purpose of this build which is why there’s so much emphasis on the gearing. The wing is a very important part of this build before I added the active arrow package the car was doing a wheelie between 50 and 60 miles an hour. The wing is fully functional and the car is weighted proportionately in the front to compensate for the rear downforce. One day you will see my 2 speed transmission and custom clutch set up or ones like it in every eighth scale basher like it was always there. I agree with you on the weight it always adds more wear and tear but that’s with everything including other 1/5 scale RC‘s. In conclusion I don’t believe it’s fair to be comparing small 1/10 scale Traxxas Rustlers to a 1/6 1/5 scale RC. Apples and oranges but I like those 1/10s just the same. What you saw was about a quarter to half throttle pull on the 12s and we didn’t even get to see second gear on the Shredcat which I’m sure will see north of 70mph. I don’t believe that’s considered underachieving for an RC never built before. Again thank you for the thought filled comment and I hope you stick around to see some of our other builds. ☢️🤙
@@RadioactiveRC Thanks for your thoughtful and respectful response, I was afraid my comments would be seen in the wrong way and I appreciate you clarifying, although not needed since it's your car and your channel 😀. Im just a spectator and a very happy one for that matter. I really love your passion and dedication which reminds me of the good times with "the hobby" and I honestly cant wait for the rest of the series since it got me to your channel as a subscriber. Thanks again for your time and making such great content for our enjoyment 😉. Lastly im really impressed by your skill and meticulous thought process in putting the car back together with all your custom fabrication. It really is amazing 👏 and I can't wait to see your rigs fly by at 70mph. Lol. Keep it up my friend, 😎 and Have a blessed day !
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! Both of these Shredders have been modified extensively and are running on 24mm hubs. They are the same size however one is running on 12 cells and one is running on 6s. This channel has lots of great videos on the Shredder you will not find anywhere else! Thanks for being here! 🤙🏼☢️
Thanks for watching! The Shredder is a lot of fun. Did you address the diffs? If not you should look into it! Thanks for being here and supporting the channel! 🤙🏼☢️
Song at 17:30-19:42? (Didn't find it in the notes) Also thinking about ordering a Shredder, been looking at them for awhile. I plan on putting in a steel spur, and shimming the diffs. I've seen your 45 min vid on it, do I only put in one extra shim or two? All 3 diffs or just the back? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching Rick! All three diffs get one shim behind the sun gear on the side that you open. 50k 500k 50k diff fluid. One bash bar tower to tower and your good. Good luck with your build! ☢️🤙
The Shredcat is using 24mm Rovin slab stone tires. remember you can’t use this wheel and tire combination without upgrading your 17mm hub system to a custom 24 mm hub. I show you how to manufacture the hub system in the Super Shredder to stock Shredder comparison video. ☢️🤙
Thanks for watching Bobby! I have the 12s on the bench today. I’m going to find out if it’s the tires the diff fluids the 1/5 steering servo or combination. ☢️🤙
Thanks for watching! There are 12 cells of power running in parallel. Yes Shredders are 1/6 scale but with the same foot print of an Xmaxx. The point of this build was upgrading the power system steering servo and hubs making it closer to 1/5 scale. 🤙☢️
I’m running stock shredder motor and 150AMP ESC,with stock metal spur gear and pinion also,what other pinion can I put to get more speed without heating up motor as much?
In my opinion and in the opinion of others using the same BULLETPROOF DIFF process they’re finding the 18 tooth pinion on 6S is the sweet spot. I’m also running the Super Shredder on two 18 tooth pinions. The motors are as cool as a cucumber! ☢️🤙
Thanks for watching James! I have a set of wheels and tires on the way that I think will do the job. These tires are fired! I see another bandit like burn out for these Duratrax tires. 🔥🤙☢️
I thought the same thing as I stated in the video but gave the servo a stress test and it is beast mode that’s not the problem. At this point I am positive we have a wheel and tire issue but there might be a need for a slightly higher weight in the center diff. I am slightly hesitant about moving to 1 million in the center diff. I think that might create too much resistance but no risk no reward. The new wheel entire combination has already arrived. I’m going to start there and hope the center diff has the right balance. ☢️🤙
Thanks for watching! It 6s run in parallel for 12 cells of power is the correct terms. Never been done before so you call it a fail because of the label? I guess Im confused…. Make sure to comment and call out Keven T for all his 24s stuff. These are toys lighten up. Sometimes it’s easier to explain a build by just calling at 12s then saying. That you’ve run two 6S parallel systems to two individual power plants. Hard to fit on a title or thumb nail. There’s always going to be that guy but you don’t expect it from another CZcamsr. 🤙🏼☢️
Thanks for watching! I’m not trying to speed run. These rigs are to heavy. Just doing a comparison between to two different kind of builds. I have other RCs for high speed. 🤙🏼☢️
