    Broken drive shaft 1/18 Ruckus 4WD

    I made an impulse buy yesterday and bought a 1/18 Ruckus 4WD truck for my kids (and myself) at a local hobby shop. Long story short, hit a tree and now one of the driveshafts is broken. I’m new to RC and I’m quickly learning that this particular scale model doesn’t have a lot of options in...

    1/18 4WD Ruckus brushless build

    A few years ago, I received a 1/18 4WD ruckus as a gift. I absolutely love it. Over time, I got a heat sink, a Traxxas Titan 380 motor, and some better batteries. However, a few years after getting it, the Traxxas motor burnt out and the diffs gears started breaking. After a year or two on the...

    ECX Amp, Ruckus.. Redcat Volcano EXP dog bones??

    So however obvious this might seem or might not seem. I kept ripping the hell outta my stock Amp & Ruckus shafts at the wheel. I am fairly new back into the RC thing, addicted is an understatement so to speak.. don't remember "bashing" my race RC's when I was 13ish. I do remember having a huge...

    Ecx ruckus 1/10: wheels don’t move with resistance

    Hi, i have the above truck...actually two. One of the trucks won’t move on the ground but the motor will increase in rpm’s. When I lift it off the ground the wheels will spin appropriately albeit perhaps slower. Does my description make sense?

    Ruckus 4x4 Steering/Servo Issue

    Hello, Rookie here. Just picked up used 2wd Ruckus and 4x4 Ruckus: - The 2wd steering behaves as I would expect - The 4x4 it seems like the wheels don't really turn as far - If the vehicle is stationary I can hear the servo moving but the wheels don't turn as far in either direction as my 2wd...

    Used a LiPo battery and now the Ruckus is dead

    Grandpa (me) figured that a 7.2 v battery is the same regardless of the material. So I bought a LiPo 7.2v battery for my 10 year old grandson's Ruckus (original version from 5 years ago). It worked great, faster than ever. Now the red light on the chassis near the power button just beeps and...

    Reliable, quick brushless that doesn’t break the bank.

    Hi guys, So my motor went yesterday and I was about to go brushless on my Ruckus but my local shop said I really need to spend £150-£200 on a motor and esc to get much better performance which seems quite allot considering how much the car cost to buy. I was local at £80 combo set which...

    Camber and toe link problem.

    Hi, I've recently gone brushless on my 2wd Ruckus, still on NiMh though, and my top link keeps popping off. It's not just on bashing either, a heavy turn or what have you and it's off. What beefy upgrades are available please guys? And/or solutions, 'fixes' etc. As ever, thank you, Again lol.

    ECX Ruckus Build Thread

    I'd like to start documenting my build here. I started with a brushed 2wd Ruckus that my dad picked up at a tag sale with a similar Circuit for $20 together. Same day I swapped out the ESC and motor for a cheap GoolRC combo that I had on hand, and swapped the RX to a Flysky that I had on...

    Hot racing help

    Working on my ruckus, 1/10 2wd. Was originally a brushed, now running a castle brushless. Broke the stock driveshafts, of course, and now looking for better ones. There’s 3 different styles of hot racing and none of them seem to have overwhelmingly positive reviews. Any of the 3 worth getting...

    Are the stock tires different on the front and back?

    My ECX03016 - Ruckus 4WD brushless, came with Shootout MT Speedtreads tires. I've been swapping out wheels and tires quite a bit. Currently, I have all 4 removed and am about to re-mount them and noticed that one pair of tires seems to be a slightly wider (or shaped differently) than the...

    1/10 Ruckus 2wd need suggestions

    Stripped out the inside of the wheel hex today. Can I see pictures or hear your reviews on wheel/tires other than the stock ones. Be it aftermarket or stock wheels off of a different brand. Just seeing if I should buy new stocks or look at other options. Just FYI, I just bash in general, lots...

    Ruckus speed help

    I’ve got a 2wd 1/10 ruckus that was originally a brushed motor. I switched out to a castle 3800 motor/esc combo, and am using a 2s Lipo, and the top speed I can clock is 32mph. I’ve done the metal trans/differential gears, and a new spur gear due to messing the old one up. But it’s all still the...

    Stripped differential

    Hey so I blew a tire on my 1/10 ruckus 4wd and I replaced the rear tires with a different set of the same size. The new tires didn’t balloon the same as my front tires and now I have a stripped diff. I can only find a complete diff but I only need the inside gears. You can buy the diff case and...

    Ruckus 2WD Upgrade? ESC, Steering Servo etc.....

    Hello! Just getting back in to this hobby after many years away, things have certainly come on a bit since my 1986 Blackfoot, so I got hold of a new/old stock Ruckus for general bashing and to learn with. After a couple of days of running stock everything (NiMh batteries at the minute), I've...
