How to Replace the Kaiju Rear Hub Carrier

3/28/2020

3 Comments

 
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
After a hard bash session, I finally broke a part on my Kaiju - a rear hub carrier.  Follow along as I swap it out...
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
Now there's the problem!  Although broken, the rear hub's plastic looks very nice, with lots of fibre material
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
After removing the wheel, the next step is remove the two hinge pins.  The lower hinge pin requires a 2.5mm driver and the upper requires a 2.0mm driver.

Next, use your 2.0mm driver to remove the set screw that is located inside the wheel hex.  Once you have removed the set screw, you can push the pin out - I used a 1.5mm driver to push the pin out
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
Here's how the parts look once everything is removed.  Notice the set screw on the right side...that's what you need to remove before trying to press the pin out of the wheel hex
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
One nice thing about the Kaiju is that several of the parts can be used on the left or the right side of the truck.  When you purchase your 12437 Rear Hubs, you will receive two parts.  Each can be used on either side of the truck.  These are really cheap too so, you may want to grab a set just to have in your pit bag.
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier Bearings
Next, I popped the bearings out of the broken hub and snapped them into the new hub.  I gave my bearings a quick check over before installing them and they were nice and smooth.  These bearings are rubber sealed and they feel like they are grease filled so they should last a while even if I run my Kaiju in some water or mud.
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
Time to put it back together...

Once you have the bearings installed in the new hub, slide the CVD through.  Then, the wheel hex slides over the CVD, the pin goes through the hole and lastly the set screw is re-installed to hold the pin in place.

I chose to not use any thread lock on the set screw.  I want to ensure I can get it out easily again in the future.  I'll just check it from time to time to ensure it hasn't come loose.
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
Next up was to re-install the lower hinge pin.  DON'T OVER TIGHTEN THE NUT.  I suggest you tighten the nut until it feels fairly tight then check to see that the hub moves freely in the suspension arm.  If the hub feels tight or binds in any way, loosen the nut a little.  Keep loosening the nut a little at a time and check the hub for binding.  Once it moves freely, stop there.
Redcat Kaiju Part 12437 Rear Hub Carrier
Last but not least, install the upper hinge pin.  Pay attention to what hole the pin goes through.  My truck came with the hinge pin installed on the inner hole so that's where I put it back...make sure you keep the left side and the right side of your truck set up exactly the same way.  Once again, don't over tighten the nut on the hinge pin.
Picture
All fixed in under 10 minutes.  That was easy.

Here are the parts and tools I used to make the job quick and easy:
  • 12437 Rear Hubs
  • 2.0mm Hex Driver
  • 2.5mm Hex Driver
  • 17mm Wheel Nut Wrench
  • Box wrench / 5.5mm Socket Driver - for the hinge pin nuts - pliers would work fine for this as well

Now, I'm going to charge up some batteries and get back to bashing!

'till next time

Redcat Kaiju Parts
Just a quick update to let you know that several Redcat Kaiju Parts have just arrived.  With the Kaiju parts being priced so well, and with some of these parts being in limited supply, I'd suggest grabbing a few spares now - even if you don't need them today.  The following parts just arrived:
  • 12481 - Kaiju Differential Set (F/R)
  • 12423 - Kaiju Front Shock Shafts
  • 12418 - Kaiju Motor Mount Hardware Set
  • 12420 - Kaiju Drive Cups w/Pins
  • 12425 - Kaiju Center Drive Shaft
  • 12461 - Kaiju Receiver Box Assembly
  • 12416 - Kaiju Differential Internal Parts
  • 12417 - Kaiju 10t Steel Motor Pinion Gear

I'll add pictures and details to each part as they become available

Now, for the bad news...I few Kaiju parts just sold out this weekend including spur gears, clear bodies and center diff outdrives.  These parts will be replenished but I don't have an exact date quite yet

Regarding Covid-19...at the moment, it's pretty much business as usual.  We are seeing slight delays in product restocking but for the most part, things have been running smoothly.   My only suggestion is to grab a few spare parts for your pit box while they are in-stock to ensure you have them when you need them

Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it

Redcat Kaiju Post Bash Review

2/25/2020

1 Comment

 
Redcat Kaiju Review
I finally had a chance to take my personal Redcat Kaiju out for a bash this afternoon and thought I'd share a quick review with you

Initial Impressions:
Initially, I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about the Kaiju but now that I've spent some time with it, I have to say that so far I REALLY like it.  My son and I spent the afternoon ripping it around the yard and jumping it over a 14" high ramp and it took all of our abuse like a champ.  Admittedly, we were not launching it 50' through the air but we had our share of upside down landings and nose dives and the Kaiju just kept going and going.

The truck is very controllable in the air and after a few failed attempts, we quickly got the hang of bringing the nose up or dropping it down with the use of the throttle and brake.  

It's also quite stable in turns as well.  We were able to take sweeping turns at full speed and tighter turns by applying some brake before cranking on the steering wheel.  

Wheelies were no problem either.  A jab of the throttle and the truck would cat walk for 50' or more with some throttle modulation.  I think dropping the wheelie bar down a notch or two may be my first minor modification for back yard bashing...just to keep the nose down a little closer to the ground.

Battery:
We started by running the truck on just 2s to see what would happen.  It functioned fine but was fairly slow.  If you have an inexperienced person that would like to drive your truck, this may be a good option to slow the truck down so they don't crash it.

After a few minutes on 2s, we decided to give 4s a try and that's when the truck really came alive.  Although I haven't tried the Kaiju on 3s or 6s yet, I'd say 4s is perfect balance of speed and controllability.

Tires:
There has been some comments online about the tires not ballooning and that they are some kind of miracle tire.  Well, I wish that was true but the fronts will balloon just like most other tires out there when you do a big wheelie (something the truck is really good at).  I'm not complaining about the tires, I just want you to know that they will balloon if you run the truck hard.

Broken Parts:
Nope.  No broken parts so far.  Like I mentioned before, we landed this thing hard on it's nose, roof and tail and my son even drove it straight into a pipe that sticks out of our yard.  Nothing broke.  No clicking gears, no broken bumpers or links and the body is holding up well.  So far so good.

General Thoughts:
I'm quite impressed by this truck.  The ESC is perfectly set-up, the trims and dual rates were well set from the factory, it's durable and I've even grown to like the looks of the body.  I'll keep running it but as it stands now, I don't see any dramatic changes being required from its box stock setup.  At least for ripping around in the grass.

The only extra item I'm planning to add to my field bag is another battery jumper.  I have a feeling I may lose one at some point so I may as well have a spare handy.  The blue body color is also quite nice but I'll likely get myself a clear body some day and do a custom paint job.  Beyond that, I'll wait to see what parts break before stocking up on spares.

Redcat Kaiju Parts Now Online

Redcat Kaiju Parts
All Redcat Kaiju parts are now listed on the website and are expected to be in-stock toward the end of the month.  Pictures of each part along with more details will be added once they become available but for now, you can browse the parts listings, and review the pricing if you are interested

When I was uploading the parts, I noticed that the prices are very reasonable and the parts count is relatively low when compared to some other vehicles.  Front are rear diffs are the same, right and left suspension arms are interchangeable although front to rear are different etc.  This should mean you won't have to have too many different spare parts in your field bag

So far, aluminum upgrade parts are not available but I suspect we'll start to see some Kaiju upgrades at some point in the future
