REDCAT RACING RDS - RC DRIFT BUILD EP 6 - SCALE SCIENCE

6 місяців тому

In Episode 6, our Redcat RDS gets an Acuvance Xarvis XX ESC and Fledge 10.5 motor with fan. We go over the basics of a clean install and showcase some laps on track with our locals.
Stay tuned for a deeper dive into the tuning, some firsthand accounts of what's working and what still needs work as well as some plans for other future episodes in this series...
We think it needs a new body though.... What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below.

Awesome video as usual brother!! So much useful information.

@danraqdrifts 6 місяців тому

Damn this video was so sick after watching this it made me want to get an rds!!

@jameyharrison7499 6 місяців тому

So, what’s left on it that’s Redcat? Transmission case & gears?

@ScaleScience 6 місяців тому

All of the steering, front bulkhead, knuckles, steering servo arm, all stock ball cups and balls except for dampers, stock transmission (except rhino dif) and stock rear tower. The replaced parts are the plastic deck, battery tray, suspension (we changed our damper bodies out for red color, not because lack of performance) and lower arms. Put good electronics in it and finesse the ball cups and alignment into free movement and less toe out. Rear lower arm swap allowed us to move the arm further forward on the pin and the car makes insane grip.

hey loving the video series so far! I was hoping to know where you got the 3mm bearings from for the clsd? Im about to order everything I need to do the swap on my rds but I cant seem to find the bearings anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!

@ScaleScience 4 місяці тому

I bought mine online. Just searched for the size and unsealed bearing and found it available online. They were unfortunetly expensive per pair, I bout 10 and sold them at the store.

Did you ever end up changing the front knuckles on the RDS? I saw someone else install the ReveD RDX knuckles & they seemed to work well? I’m not able to get quite the angle I’d like currently. Cheers

@ScaleScience 6 місяців тому

We haven’t had a need yet as the stock had plenty of adjustability for our desired setup but we may play with a set in the coming months to see if we can continue dialing in our redcat

@danielvargas1539 6 місяців тому

I recently installed the yd2 adjustable kingpin knuckles on my RDS, loving the swap so far. Car feels smoother imo but that could just be placebo lol. Definitely looks better that's for sure. If you want to use those knuckles as well you have to purchase 1mm axle shims for both sides or the wheels will have side to side play. If you reuse the stock ball studs you have to shorten the threads on the top and bottom ones or they will interfere with the knuckle install. Happy sliding :)

@@ScaleScience Thank You very much for the reply! I'm really enjoying the RDS series! Are there any companies currently offering an aftermarket chassis for the RDS? Cheers
