RedCat Racing SHREDDER v.2 Upgrades, Repairs, Mods & Test run!

- This is an update on my RedCat Racing Shredder. After 9 months, it's time to do some routine maintenance, some upgrades and a few necessary repairs. Overall, I have to say the Shredder has performed well for me, it's been fairly durable and I still recommend it for anyone looking to score a LARGE SCALE monster truck at a budget price. A poor man's Xmaxx and the "Best Bang-4-Buck" CHEAP, large scale vehicle ever made (...so far!) lol.
👓 Looking for a large scale (grown man's), HOBBY CLASS, r/c MONSTER TRUCK, but you're on a tight budget, then I highly recommend the RedCat Racing Shredder, 1:6th Scale (big ass) Monster Truck... it's the "CHEAPEST IN IT'S SIZE CLASS FOR THE $$" I have TESTED👍💪🏿 & PROVEN the Shredder and it has taken a beating since I've had it, over 9 months now. Although it's not my fastest r/c in the collection, it is one of my favorite. It's the most AFFORDABLE and biggest bargain I've found in the r/c hobby to this date!!! 💥💥💥POW!!! -djsoulforce!

The velcro in the battery tray and batteries - BIG THUMBS UP!
Thanks bro. Velcro, the best invention since duct tape, lol!!!
Very nice setup on this car DJ, you are now becoming really proficient in building rc cars and trucks. I am flying a lot of my 3d helicopters again, I am also thinking about fpv planes and flying wings.
Like my boy Aces On The Go always say, "enjoy your hobby!" Thanks for watching buddy, stay safe!!!
Nice, can't wait to make my slash brushless and a few other upgrades
Thanks for watching buddy!!!

Glad I found this! Thnx What weight oil in the diffs?
It's looking good my brother 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍 Ray!!!
Great job my friend, thank you.
Thank you too! Stay safe buddy!
Can’t wait to get mines brother, and great job
I think you're gonna like it. You're probably, like me, gonna want new tires for the first modification! LoL!!! Thanks for watching bro!!!
SOUL FORCE QUADS lol yep and the center gear
You sound like a genially nice guy like the vids! Getting my shredder in the mail Thursday!
Awesome bro, I hope you enjoy it. To protect the front end from crash damage, I highly suggest getting that T-bone Racing front bumper. Good luck bro!!!
You're funny. Great video, buddy! 🤗
Thank you very much for watching and the feedback!
Poor man's Xmaxx🤣
Exactly why I've got one
🤣🤣😁😁😎Exactly, lol. Thanks for watching!!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeee! Forgot about the shredder, lol. But it is niiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeee! Shame, but i almost sold both my redcat 1/5th scales. My xbe buggy and my chimera, lol. Just couldn't do it! Lmaaoo! Still can't do it! But I'm glad you did this video. Because now I'm inspired again to get both back out there. Thanks Mr. Soulforce and can't forget Aces on the go! Appreciate you guys. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks my brother for watching and your feedback! Stay safe bro!!!
very nice
Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel. Lots more to come!!!
Love it man. She looking good. I upgraded to 6s and put 1mil in the center diff and 100k in the front and rear.
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I need to go back and do the same. I hate working on diffs, especially on the Shredder. They're so hard to get to!!!
Looks great with the upgrades, that’s a nice rig. People don’t give redcat much credit as it should get, there RC’s are nice runners.
Thanks Donnie. Have you seen the new Redcat Kaiju??? That thing is an animal and it's gonna put Redcat back on the map. They're hard to find right now because as soon as they're in stock, they sell out!!!
Brother Soul... I have one on the way (shredder). I can't find the mpo-019 metal spur gear for the life of me. Everywhere is sold out...and suggestions?
Did you try RedcatRacing.com???
U could have a whole garage of RC cars & drones. Ha. Pow
Yes sir... thanks!!!
i grabbed a wltoys 10428 for my very first rc to see if i would like the hobby and oh yes i like it but almost immediately things were breaking in the thing and i was not even pushing it to hard so im straight up going for this shredder next after reading lots of reveiws on how decent it is for the price plus i just wanted something really big and beastly , ordered from amazon today im pretty excited. Im going to buy the 6200mah 80c Zeee lipos for it and immediately put a steel spur upgrade in it, strap those tires an call it a day.
Thanks for watching and your feedback!!! Good luck with your Shredder!!!
That 150 will make it wheelie for sure. I would put 2 shims on the diffs. I use 2 or 3 in my cars.
I wish I had known that before I put everything back together, lol. After a few short runs on 6s, I can hear the diffs screaming & winning!! The problem with the Shredder is, it has 3 diffs and they are a pain in the butt to work on. I'll fix it soon and do an update video!!! Thanks for watching and your feedback!!!
What are those shim sizes?
Nice video!! Just ordered one of these Shredders and I cant wait. Im curious, with that heatsink on the motor, is there a fan we can buy to put on that to keep it cool?
Thanks for watching and your question. There are after market fan kits that you can buy, but I found if you're running it on stock 4S system, overheating won't be a problem! Good luck with your Shredder, happy bashing!!
@@DJSOULFORCE Ok cool, thanks for the reply. I guess it was more of a 'what can i do to prevent' thought i had in my head lol. But yea I cant wait to run that thing around!
Can you tell me a good set of better springs front and back to get for the Shredder with a link?
Wish I could help but I'm still running the stock springs. I did however add more shock oil to the shocks as they had almost no fluid in there at all!!! Good luck, thanks for watching!!!
Very informative, a good spirit, and articulate! Could you do a vid on charging two batteries?
Thanks for watching and your feedback. I currently use the iMax B6 Balance Charger (cheap, found on eBay or Amazon) and it's a pretty fast charger. I only charge one battery at a time! Good luck, happy bashing!!!
I got mines a week ago but arrived kinda defective. The front two wheels are kinda loose because it looks like the servo saver unit is loose. I tried tightening all screws on bottom, top, and inside without opening it through the side of the wheel but no luck. My servo saver unit moves left & right if I wiggle the front wheels left & right in mid air. I am thinking about dissecting it and adding washers might help. I just contacted RC planet then Redcat company until problem is solved. I hate RC vehicles not going straight but it's my favorite truck so far. Took out all stock new electronics, added 6S 6A Lipos, 6S ESC 150A Surpass, 8S Turnigy motor. It is so fast that I am scared to drive it. I need to upgrade to metal spur gear, add washers into stock differentials, fix steering, fix stiff rear shocks, add homemade front metal bumper & body cage. This chassis can hold 4 batteries or more if you stack and take out battery holders. You can add two motors to this Shredder by moving the servo a quarter inch towards the front wheels then add a 2nd motor on the other side with extra motor mount but need holes professionally drilled. Great to play with electricity, now you can connect 2nd motor to same ESC (wires backwards) or 2nd ESC to same battery or 2nd battery if racing. I would definitely have separate battery for BEC for receiver. Avoid split power by individual ESC for max motor output, individual batteries for max discharge rate. Add extra batteries in parallel to avoid puffy hot batteries. I want a buggy body for this long truck. The turns are great. I want to buy two more. One for road tires racing 8S 200A ESC and another for jumps with best shocks & stiff oil. I want to open a RC store with new upgraded RC vehicles only with a huge RC play area. I have been looking at land in Nevada. I want to connect solar panels to my truck. RC truck in trails while hiking is fun.
Wow, you have a lot of high aspirations, lol. Frankly, I don't think the Shredder will take too many power & speed upgrades. Redcat simply didn't build it to be that tough. Of course, you'll be ok as long as you never crash it! I'd love to see your Shredder after all upgrades are complete, keep me posted please. Concerning your r/c store, I say "go for it bro," I have run several small businesses in my past, the latest being my own Bar & Grill as well as a Mobile DJ company. Go for it bro!!! Thanks for watching and your awesome feedback!!!
...oh, as far as that wobble in the steering links, MINE DOES THE SAME, brand new, out the box!!! Even though it wobbles in hand, mine runs straight as an arrow. Check this out - czcams.com/video/O-Zvn-dPRm8/video.html
What wheelie bar did you use? I haven't found any said to fit the Shredder, yet that is....lol
Find links for the wheelie bar and bumper in the description of the video - TboneRacing.net or search for Tbone Racing Store on eBay!! Good luck, thanks for watching.
Quick question,what diff oil or grease do you use?? For the shredder,and heard you mention,by changing Esc to 150A,I can run 6s with no problem and stock shredder motor will be good?
Yes, you can safely run your Shredder's stock motor on 6S by upgrading the ESC. Sorry bro, I can't remember what diff oil I used, but I do remember that stock, from the factory, there's almost no oil in there!! Good luck, thanks for watching!!!
@@DJSOULFORCE thank you appreciate that information blessed day man
Whats upgrading from a 80 to 100 esc do? Thanks
It will allow me to increase the battery power from 4s to 6s. Thanks for watching and your question!!
@@DJSOULFORCE thanks
Where did you get your esc?
I'm sorry, I searched and can't find my receipts for the ESC and can't remember where I got it from. More than likely I got it from Amain Hobbies in California (online). Good luck and thanks for watching!!
Hi all, just wanted to let people know that the spur and other gears are now all metal parts i just got my order today nov 2 2020. I think they used to be all plastic before so just giving a heads up. Thanks goodness because everywhere i looked well waiting for this the 49t spur was sold out.
Thanks for watching and THANK YOU for the updates. That's good news for Redcat!!!
where did you buy it from that had all the metal parts already installed? Been looking to get one of these bad boys!
@@ZeuZLoD amazon
@@MadfugginMax Awesome, thank you!
#12👍🏾
Thanks for watching bro!
Yo, Poppa Phil is one good brotha, haven't seen him for a minute...Stay Safe!
Thanks for stopping by Tookie. Phill must be a good dude if you know him, I'll tell him you said hello!
Oh heck yeah, he's a good brotha & been knowing for a couple of years. Just haven't seen much from him here lately.
What differentials did you get??
I used stock diffs from RedcatRacing.com. If you're replacing your stock diffs, you may notice the large amount of play in the factory setup. You may need to add a shim or two on top of the factory's! Good luck, thanks for watching!!!
How long on the 5200mah 2s batteries are you getting before low voltage protecting kicks in
Sorry bro, I really can't give you a precise time since I never run it to LVC. I am getting way over 15 minutes though!!! Thanks for watching.
What brand batteries are you running?
@@jbrown198666 Actually, they are 6200mah, 40c, Floureon. Found them on eBay!
@@DJSOULFORCE did you program your esc of running it stock
@@jbrown198666 In this video, I was running it in the stock settings.
Does this have a slipper clutch?
NO, it does not. thanks for watching and your question!!!
Problems problems. That is part of the fun? as long as you are not the one causing the problems.
Lol, so true my brother!!! Thanks for watching!
It most definitely take a 6s ESC I put a Arrma BLX 150A ESC and it's a big big difference in speed Very fast and I kept the original motor!
Thanks bro, that's exactly what I needed to hear! Thanks for watching and your feedback!!!
How did you get the motor mount straighten up
I'm sorry, I don't understand your question(?) Thanks for watching!!!
@@DJSOULFORCE u siad when u first change the pinion u kept stripping pinions
@@twoteccs2twoteccs287 I eventually had to buy a new motor mount because I stripped out one of the screws in the original. Discovered that my hex wrenches were cheap. After I upgraded wrenches, I was then able to remove & reset motor mount with ease. Because the Shredder's motor mount uses sliders, there's no way to get it perfect, so I guess it's trial & error. I simply "eyeballed" it, lol. Good luck & thanks for watching.
@@DJSOULFORCE do you know what mod pinion you are using
@@twoteccs2twoteccs287 I replaced with stock pinion gear.
Yeah......... Your gonna need a BIGGER bedroom!🤪👍
That's for sure. Oh wait, my son Andre will be moving out soon when he goes into the Air Force. (hummmm!!!!!) 😲😲😲
I see an XMAXX in your future.
Lol, me too brother!!! 🤣👍✌ Thanks for watching!!!
Peanut butter work good in your diff
Wow, thanks for the tip! Also, thanks for watching.
I have a shredder to and I put pb in and it works perfect
Looks like youre running the tires from a nero or the brand who makes a lookalike
They are the dBoots Sand Scorpions. Slightly bigger than the stock tires and much smoother. The bigger tires also give the truck a bit more speed! Thanks for watching bro and your comment.
Thang look fast to me
Thanks for watching bro and your feedback!
It's coming from CHINA HAHAHHAHA
