Ok guys, I will be building my XB over the next few days. I will be posting a crap load of pics during the build so I am reserving 10 total posts so I can edit in all the pics/Info at one time. EDIT: Here is some pics, I will add more decsription and such when I have more time. I am taking...

There's a lot of first on this build for me. It's my first Redcat, my first 5th scale, and AFAIK the 1st brushless dune runner. I'm hoping I'm wrong on the last one and can get some help. From the initial look of it, the easiest route would be the casle xl2 w/ motor. From my measurements...

I am going to do a build thread on mounting the new Grafil Rally to a Redcat. I am using an XBE but it will fit any of the big cats. I imported the 2mm version. They are also produced in a 1.5mm polycarbonate. The 2mm will be stronger. :) I will show as many pics as possible. The instalation...

Hey all. Here is my new project. Project Green Machine bashing style. This build will be for mostly bashing around with friends. Climbing hills, taking huge air, mud and whatever else gets in it's way. I have had this for 2 months now and I must say I am impressed. Great power and nimble. Starts...

Well, I was able to get some more polishing done on the rampage build project :D Its slow going but looks good, just getting started on this build, have some more polishing to go but i can get this stuff to shine like a mirror, just takes some time, i will post more pics as this build comes...

Not sure why you can't find them on the redcat site, but I found them here.......As are all the spare parts at really cheap prices. http://www.rchobbyestore.com.au/p-10186-50127-shock-plastic-parts-for-15-scale-hsp-spare-part.aspx

Since the XSC went on sale I decided to build one. It is a PITA with one hand. LOL. It keeps me off the couch. This will be a slow build. I started with the body. I really wanted to try a Grafil 2pc SC body. I got the rough trim done but still need to smooth out my cuts. The body dwarfed the...

Hey Guys, started an sc8e build thread a while ago, in case some of you are bored you can read it. It's an ongoing process.... http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143739

Hi! Where can I buy a rebuild kit for the shocks? Maybe it is just the orings I have to replace, if so what size are these? Thanks! //waqr

I went to disassemble my front and rear diff to clean and re-oil for the first time. After dis-assembly, I put it together exactly as it came apart but now the diff is locked up and will not turn. The only way it would turn is if I significantly loosened the 4 screws (50084 on the Diff Gear...

So far this is what I got done, 7075rc c hubs,bearing holders,motor mount kit,custom made cap style hubs to fit my mcd tires and wheels, leopard 5698motor, castle creations xl-2 esc, 2 max amps 9000mah batteries, castle creation pro bec, truck front and rear bumpers. Have not even driven it yet...

Sup guys, just picked up my new Rampage MT today! My previous redcat is a Aftershock 3.5 but wanted something bigger. So here it is in all its glory. You don't realize how big these things are until you seem them in person.

Here's my MT V2 after a rebuild. I don't think I've ever listed what I've done to it, so here it goes. Upgraded to a 26cc engine. (Stole it from my 5T) Upgraded to MCD dog bones. Rebuilt the shocks with Baja lower assemblies and DarkSoul shafts. Upgraded the diff cups. (MooCups) HPI...

I've had my XB-E roller for a while now. The electronics are ordered from Kershaw. I will be using his motor mount with the stock spur. I bought 11 and 12T pinions and I've having the stock 10T pinion bored out to 8mm. I am going with a Leopard 5692 730 KV on 12S through a FighterCat Racing 16S...

So I have been bitten by nearly every major problem that I've recently read many others are having. Gearplate, square hexes, bad foams, garbage steering servo, and now, a busted diff housing. I have taken care of all of the other issues but this one will take some work. I've read about many of...

I started my XB build today.I went right from the box to the operating table. So far I plan on upgrading the electronics, 5B air filter, 5B wheel adapters and engine upgrade. I am also checking my metal to metal screws for the loc-tite and adding as needed. Please feel free to throw up any...

Hey guys, thought I'd give you guys a sneak peek as to what I have been working on here lately. Keep in mind, i'm a Redcat guy at heart, whilst checking out the pics. Here is the back story to help you guys understand why I decided to build one. Im going to Powerjam next weekend with my XB-E...
