Default RE: Redcat Racing Tremor Thread

The 1/16 tremors are fun to drive. They require a lot of adjusting when they are new out of the box. The front and rear diffs almost always need shimming. They are way too sloppy from the factory. At least every one of mine were(8 in all). The only real problem I have had (only had it happen once...knock on wood!) was the input shaft(or drive gear for diff) stripped and the gear came loose from the shaft. It is just a plastic gear pressed on a metal shaft. One reason it stripped was I didn't shimthe diff and I stuffed anSH .12 pro on it. I have converted 3 1/16 tremors into 1/10 scale vehicles. My latest was a 1/10 4x4 truck withlow geared tranny powered by the famous SH07 engine. I have ported the exhaust header and made a larger custom flywheel, but haven't had the time to put them on. 1/16's are fun to drive as long as you do your homework beforehand....
