Killer video!! I have an old school Kaiju, and I had the same turnbuckle issues!! I tried the metal upgrades, snapped a bunch of them... Talked about it on some forums to see what people had to say, they kept telling me it was my fault, so whatever... But you had the same issues and you're actively backflipping them trying to get it to break!! I just 'forest bash,' go cruise around forests and burnouts in leaves and try 1 backflip off a tree, snapped front rod. Same, front left rod. 3 times. Finally broke a back CD drive shaft too.. that was interesting... Eager to see your next kaiju video(s)! Thanks for this!
Thanks! I think this truck really is quite good. Redcat is sorting out the upper control arm breakage now. Other than that, I have had really good luck with it!
U went through 3 lol ide try something else the first or second time lol maybe the arrma lol thanks for the video I might just change it straight out the box lol ty have a beautiful day aloha from Hawaii ty again
@@RoadsideRC right on so cool I know I'm late to the party but thats great ty for the informal good bashing videos and this new good info about this truck thank you
Brother, this this was born to fly! 🦅I’m pretty sure Redcat will take care of you when the new turnbuckles come in! 👨🔧 Amazing video my friend🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🍻🍻🍻
it certainly looks the business mate wow stands up and begs on its back wheels in action nippy but soon a problem for you to fix after the jumping around *👍Au👍full view and a thumbs up too*
Out of the box and only use one battery and broke 3 times not good and I know all cars have problems but fact is not that bad right now the car is junk not tested at all but and here’s the but I can’t wait to see what you do to change it
The reason I am not worked up about the breakages is it was a known issue going in, and Redcat is already publicly addressing it. If I ran across other items, I would have been more concerned. Stay tuned - I think this truck will turn out great!
Thanks! I knew I had spare parts, and was really curious if all the internet discussion on breakages was true... Good news - there is already a solution, so this truck will be very strong!

Love mine
They are fun trucks! Really too bad they got a bad reputation at launch!
Nice Chevy! I've got a 71 Monte
Thanks! I keep meaning to do a video on the car itself!
Great lookin truck, I ve only seen white thus far.
Thanks!
I think this truck really is quite good. Redcat is sorting out the upper control arm breakage now. Other than that, I have had really good luck with it!
@@RoadsideRC Ya, kinda unfortunate…I m sure they will get around that issue! I look forward to watchin more on this whip. 👍🏻
Perfect review!
Thanks!
I know there's aluminum upgrade for those parts that broke
What broke is actually the metal turnbuckle, not the control arm.
I don't use metal control arms anyway - just a good way to break other stuff.
@@RoadsideRC I realized it after I posted my comment lol
Awesome idea! Gonna give that a try
My tire shredded but I wasnt near water.
And Im glad to hear Redcat is looking into the issue
I hope it helps!
I saw that. Were you on 6S when the tire shredded?
@@RoadsideRC yeah it started to rip on my 6s speedrun but I finished it off during my 6s bash
Cool video!
Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks!

Good news for you Isaac!
Since this video, Redcat has upgraded the turnbuckle, so they all come shipped with the new metal in them now.
@@RoadsideRC right on so cool I know I'm late to the party but thats great ty for the informal good bashing videos and this new good info about this truck thank you
@@RoadsideRC I got another question rival mt8 or kaiju ext which one should I get next
@@isaackshirley4695 They are basically the same truck. Pick the one you think looks cooler.
Is the kaiju longer or the same
Awesome vid.. Really considering getting this truck next year and am impressed that Red Cat stepped up pretty fast to acknowledge the issue.
Yes! So far, I am very happy with it.
More testing and upgrades coming!
Beautiful truck! 😃 nice video!!
Thank you very much!
Once we get the upper turnbuckle issue fixed, I believe this truck will be very good!
my new car the landslide ext is coming tomorrow and I just cant wait watchin all these video's and crap man this hobby a lot of fun
Great! I hope you enjoy it!
Love the truck and size of the tire …
I agree - it is really nice!
The only thing that Worries me is that there is no front bumper to Protect front end on crash thanks
So far, that hasn't been an issue for me.
Good news - the stock standard Kaiju bumper bolts right on, plus T-Bone Racing has options for the Kaiju.
Good to see another 1/8 scale on the channel 👍 It does look pretty sweet 🤩
It runs well! Really happy with it actually - hard to beat the price!
What's wrong with deans? Heard a few people say they'd swap them
They have a low amperage rating. Honestly, a bottleneck in the whole electrical system here.
I really want to get this truck, did they ever resolve the issue ?
Yes! New rear arms are now standard and much stronger. I actually used titanium turnbuckles on mine.
Nice looking rig..going to be picking one up soon. Big Monster👹 Slick and Futuristic
Great! I think you will enjoy it!
where did you get the titanium turnbuckles?
Here they are: amzn.to/3Dd8pa0
Shows out of stock at the moment, I assume they will be back in stock soon.
I have a hard time finding 6's batteries that fit even 3s hard to find sometimes that's fit easily do you have any recommendations
Here is what I did to help with battery fitment:
ruclips.net/video/J04R0Dw6eRw/видео.html
Once I get the funds I am definitely buying the white version. In the pearl-white reminds me of the Stormtroopers from Star Wars.
I almost got the white for that EXACT same reason! :)
I don't like the wheelie bar, on 6s it flips easily.
Have you adjusted it? Lowering it will help that a lot.
Brother, this this was born to fly! 🦅I’m pretty sure Redcat will take care of you when the new turnbuckles come in! 👨🔧
Amazing video my friend🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🍻🍻🍻
Yes! I think some new turnbuckles will fix this right up!
it certainly looks the business mate wow stands up and begs on its back wheels in action nippy but soon a problem for you to fix after the jumping around
*👍Au👍full view and a thumbs up too*
Yes sir! You know I will solve it!
I’d be here live if it wasn’t 430 am
I appreciate it! You can always catch the replay!
I'm thinking that Redcat owes you an engineering consultation fee. Great review Troy !
Maybe one day!!!! More videos on this truck -- stay tuned!

For hardly any parts support for the kaiju its pretty durable
It has really impressed me!
I think we will get this turnbuckle issue behind us quickly, and be in good shape!
Love your vids! Can you do some more mini rc car vids?
Sure can!
Which ones specifically - you like the small bashers, or more like the Mini-B racing?
Put some hot glue on them they last longer
Hot glue on what, specifically?
Dude! Why you playing with toys when you got a badass chevelle sitting right behind you??
Ha! I play with all of them.
Plus, the RC is something I can do with my kids.
Wow broke 3 times. Man, you have guts to do it! Lunsford is the best.
Thanks!

Very nice review. I'm also pretty sure the receiver itself is waterproof assuming its the same receivers they use on the Gen8's.
Good point! I wasn't really thinking about that.
If the receiver is truly waterproof - then I should get rid of that silly box to make more room!
