Dang dude bummer on the rig down! Some serious sends, some violent cartwheels! Wanting to get one of these, hoping more people get behind this and inject more life into this truck. Doesn't seem like many channels are running it so far. hope to see more of it soon!

[@johnsorensen5758]

Nice vid love the vigilante i just put longer screws in the bumpers that solved it also lock tight all screws on the truck that dont go into plastic including the motor mount screws the ones that go into the front of the motor they will come loose and strip out your gears if you don't guaranteed vitivon makes diff gears and a better motor mount with a a better spur gear hold down if you start having diff problems redcat has a great warranty for electronics you shouldn't have a problem

[@shawnrichardson118]

I like really enjoyed watching this video so I subbed

[@GarageLifeRC]

Thanks for the sub!

[@SleekHobbies88]

I just recommend anytime I get a new RC I always go over the bolts to make sure they're tightened with lock tight, I think when you landed a few times really hard I think the Esc took a poop. The only issues I've seen with this truck with the diffs not electronics

[@JacobHart-i2m]

Agreed. I’m running 20million is my center diff and holding good. But electronics are hobby wing. Best is the hobby

[@keldonator]

Looked like a blast while it lasted. Hope to see more Vigilante stuff

[@jj78rcclub]

I'm on the fence of getting one of these. Now I'm not sure if I should pursue it or not.

[@manicfour]

[@RC-Closer1313]

That track is bad ass bro! I live is south Florida and all we have is sugar sand! I would love to drive on real dirt! Lucky you, lol

[@rcguygarage]

your caps look domed at least the inboard near chassis center

[@GarageLifeRC]

Going back and looking, it does look that way. It isn't though. I'm working with redcat right now on a warranty so we will see how it goes.

[@shannonblack527]

Do you think you could make a brace for the Xmaxx that ties into the underside cage of the body so the bed of the truck doesn’t crush in.

[@philthyco1]

You changed the connectors? Warranty void..Redcat is cool though they probably still sent you a new one

[@GarageLifeRC]

yeah I changed them and Redcat didn't seem to mind at all.

[@philthyco1]

@GarageLifeRC I'ma redact dealer and I can say they are super cool people..Good for the hobby!

[@2LocosRCing]

The esc in my xrt didn't even last that long 😆 I've had sum screw's pull out also,over all it's been a great truck. I beat the dog snot out of mine and it takes it with a smile.....about 90%of the time 🥴💪🤕

[@therchotspot]

Dang that stinks! Hopefully it's a easy fix like a connector or something!

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

You didnt break the Valkyrie so you went and tore up the poor Vigilante 😅😅 That sucks about the esc hopefully redcat is as good with that as they were sending out new shocks for the Valkyrie and it looks like you have a few more items to add to the store now

[@captaincouldverc]

Seems the bumper is slightly common from what I've watched. I'm sure you'll have a fix for that soon. Great rip until it wasn't ripping anymore. Hopefully it is something simple and easy to sort out like a bad connector or something.

[@td8827]

what was wrong it stoped running

[@td8827]

mabey redcat aint the one to go with i know its like pulling teeth to get help/answeres from them i have the volcano pro sticker on motor says use a 12 volt fan for 3s battery i cant find one contact redcat and they not have a clue to what i ask.so when a company dont know answeres or can help then i dont trust them to me traxxas i far better than redcat

[@user-wp9mz]

I should have waited before I bought this truck to see what all the issues were but instead I have learned Ugg

[@smoothwookienookie5912]

What's wrong? All I see is the diffs. If they make a metal center diff case would it be worth it?

[@user-wp9mz]

@smoothwookienookie5912 Center diff exploded the steering linkage arm come loose basically all the screws are loose strip the chassis brace because the screws were loose lost signal for split-second lost the brakes slammed into boat trailer I'm not having the best of luck with this truck but I'm not giving up on it I really like the looks of this truck maybe I just got one that somebody new just started and they didn't tighten the screws at the factory what all is good because Redcat has a great service department they took care of the issues far is the center diff goes but I don't know what to do about all the screws that are stripped I'm just going to have to replace parts my advice would be if you bought one check all the screws first

[@manicfour]

So they still don't make a metal center diff yet?

[@manicfour]

​@smoothwookienookie5912 do they or anyone make one?
