Never owned a Redcat myself. Was kinda hoping they might had evolved durability wise, but not so sure lol. I've already ordered two new trucks this winter, so luckily the itch aint too bad.

I think the review wasn’t that bad it looks promising and running 4s might be its limit but it looked quick

Takes some decent hits here. Best standing backflips I’ve seen at 0:48...

Doh, couldn’t revive my old profile and can’t post links as a noob.

Search ‘Redcat Kaiju Crash Compilation’ on YouTube. RC Guy garage.

I have not posted on here in a very long time!
However after reading about this truck and watching reviews I bought one.
After over 30 years running all sorts of trucks,buggies,crawlers,boats etc etc...
My review is simple and straight forward.
AWESOME!
Out of the box this is one of the best i have seen in years!
I questioned red cat cause years and years they were junk!
After looking at there new site and looking at all the options and realizing this truck is made in the same factory AE is made in it could not be that bad.
I took the chance.
Glad I did and hope that others will get the truck and see it is just that good even though its a red cat product.
A+++ in my opinion.
Now lets give it a few years of consistent bashing to see the test of time result.
Remember guys this hobby is about having FUN...........PERIOD
Enjoy you new MOnster if you have one
Buy one if you are on the fence.
RED CAT thanks for a nice medium MT that does the Job VERY GOOD!

I just got my Kaiju on Wednesday and it is amazing for sure. Set up really good right out of the box. I have been running on 3s and 4s so far with zero issues so far. Best Rc I have owned so far.

I have Both the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 and the Redcat Kaiju. The Stampede can hold up its pants next to the Kaiju. It’s on a whole different level. Love the Kaiju.

I have had two problems thus far, one being the Plastic servo horn stripped which is to be expected with a metal geared 25kg servo. I just popped in an aluminum 25t I had laying around. The other is the right front inner axle pin flew out of earths orbit. This was another easy fix after I found the right hack. I used an old slightly bent Rustler shock shaft. It has a nice tight fit and I trimmed it to size and sanded the edges. Before I installed them I cut some shrink wrap to size and installed them on all four inner drive cups. I have ran it very aggressively after the the fixes and have no problems so far! My first Redcat to date and I have owned quite a few over my many years. Love this thing!

Inner drive pin, are you talking about the pin that holds the 17mm hex on, or the pin in the actual CVD joint.

The pin in the actual CVD joint. I’ve ran three 4s packs through after the fix and I abuse my Rc’s badly.
