REDCAT VIGILANTE VS XMAXX ULTIMATE

Redcat Vigilante and Xmaxx Ultimate .....bash and overview

[@rcguygarage]

AWESOME RUN👍💯 Redcat definitely made a very resilient truck.

[@readeracingRC]

I keep seeing videos of the Redcat. Im impressed. It will be my next truck to buy, thanks for the video. Have Fun

[@Stonew24]

You won’t be disappointed, it’s a beast

[@stonejss727]

The Vigilante and Xmaxx did excellent out here today....absolute beasts!!!!

[@RichD]

Great video, loved the jumps and info on the vigilante.

[@Naginc]

Great bashing session! That's hands down the best track I've seen for 1/5 scales.

[@stonejss727]

Thanks… I appreciate it

[@Fats-yg1jd]

Nice idea with the cushion on bumpers

[@adampittman508]

The vigilante is the best RC ever. Redcat got it right on this one..

[@MrtipRC]

I love my Vigilante , no issues and working on a wheelie bar for it , nice video !

[@stonejss727]

Ya it’s awesome….thanks👍👍👍👍

[@user-jz6rg1bk5i]

That ultimate x maxx cost way more than the redcat and it still comes with that garbage esc. My next truck will be the redcat especially for that price awesome video though keep them coming.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Cool video just subbed 👍

[@Fats-yg1jd]

Yes but the Vigilanty does not need as many upgrades to be tough like the x Maxx it already has a hobbywing system and good tires and better diffs pionion spur and aluminum 7075 knuckles front and rear !!

[@paulcherry1520]

Nice run , man that track looks awesome I’d love to have one like that well room to build one would be nice , wish ya were in Pa I’d come rip my rcs with ya

[@CarRamRod84]

Great vid. Those JConcepts are bad ass. Next service on the diffs, try 100 rear, earplugs and 500k (50/50) center, 200 front. I have both rigs and I'd say the Xmaxx is better quality. But the Vigilante looks better and has a better motor and ESC, Its also $150 less.

[@screamingdemonscrew]

Great bashing and good video review. Impressive truck. I'll share the video with my crew see if we can get one to the SDRC compound and the Funk Factory..👍👊 Subbed.

[@stonejss727]

Thanks…appreciate it

[@RCplamodel]

cool new look, RC with great adventure, always good videos bro👍👍😃

[@stonejss727]

Thanks … I appreciate it

[@kurtsrcTV]

Nice bashing! Subbed 👍

[@SteelCityRC]

Great showing of both trucks! Doing some excavation with them on the track lol. Took the beatings though. I am actually here from the 30 degree north / 5ive-T video. Do you still have that truck?

[@stonejss727]

Actually no… I kind of miss it 😢

[@hobbymanrc79]

Great video! Nice track to!

Thanks

My first was a clodbuster…. The good old days

[@spleantrampoline]

Grasshopper was my first track car

[@Certifiedexoticpythons]

Love my Redcat Vigilante

[@RockyMtBashers]

Hell yea brother

[@SleekHobbies88]

Awesome Ved redcat big truck sounds so graceful,lol xmaxx sounds like tin can landing ,but still keep s going lol

[@stonejss727]

Ya the vigilantes body is thicker than the xmaxx… makes it sound better on hard landings

[@johnsorensen5758]

Nice I like that track some big air jumps awesome my vigilante is on its way did you like the stock tires?

[@stonejss727]

Ya there fine… I just like black rims….just thicken up the center diff I’m going to put 20 million fluid in…

[@johnsorensen5758]

@@stonejss727 20 million center what about front and rear?

[@stonejss727]

@@johnsorensen5758 I have 100,000 in front and 60,000 in rear but that’s what I had laying around… middle is most important to stop the front tires from ballooning… you could go thicker in the front and rear as well you just want to make sure something is in there so the gears stay happy… it’s an awesome truck so far you won’t be disappointed

[@johnsorensen5758]

@@stonejss727 sweet thanks man your video is the best one so far driving it the way it should be driven 👍

[@zakers202]

When you say it was “diffing out” with the stock diff fluid what does that mean? I bought a vigilante but haven’t taken it out yet

[@stonejss727]

The differential fluid in the center differential is to thin so when you accelerate the truck tends to send all the power to the front causing the front tires to balloon … if you put thicker fluid in the center differential the truck will apply power more evenly front to back

[@Fats-yg1jd]

Nice home track man dam

[@stonejss727]

Thanks

[@TMIVRC]

For those getting into 1/5 scale game what would you recommend i like the value of red cat and electronics but xmaxx in the long run seems to have more support buts it way more expensive and for worse electronics

[@stonejss727]

At this point the xmaxx is a better option if you’re new to the hobby… it’s just easier to find parts for at local hobby shops… so far the Vigilante is holding up well… I had to shim up the center diff, cause it started skipping. … but as of now you have to order parts directly from redcat.

[@TMIVRC]

@@stonejss727 I’m not new to the hobby but yeah everyone tells me the same thing I admit the Redcat appeals to me more aesthetically but if the xmaxx is just better I’ll go with it eventually lol already have to many cars lol

[@stonejss727]

@@TMIVRC You might have to shim the center diff in the vigilante but it definitely drives better kind of like the xrt… I’d try the redcat… parts are cheap… and when I ordered parts it took a week so not to bad

[@Thesinfultruth]

Damn and it’s damn near half the price. Lol I’m sold PERIOD BESIDES ITS FOR MY 3 year old som

[@johnsorensen5758]

More redcat videos please

[@stonejss727]

Soon… 💪

[@RcpsychoRen]

Hello I love the creativity of your worj. It so wonderful. Full support for you. Greetings from belgium....+1 sub ;)

[@stonejss727]

Thanks… I’m working on some more content

[@digeolrc8586]

Which one thougher?

[@stonejss727]

If they were both completely stock….the Vigilante might be tougher…. It has better electronics, and the gears are holding up well so far…. an xmaxx with stock arms, hubs, servo, pinion, spur… etc… do tend to break pretty easy… I think people forget that… once you upgrade the arms to HD, gears to HD,hubs to aluminum , and servo gears to metal then I’d say the xmaxx is tougher…. only time will tell with the Vigilante… once I get some more packs through it I’ll know for sure

[@alldat2006]

Yall drive like me, so I will watch you guys and determine what I buy, thanks!😊

[@Fats-yg1jd]

That's 650 saved right there

[@stonejss727]

So far… I’m having some issues with the center diff skipping once it warms up…. It definitely needs an aluminum center diff so it stops expanding… I’m sure someone will make it

[@WildBoyRC]

“And the Traxxas is garbage” 😂😂

[@stonejss727]

Just giving my brother shit… lol

[@WildBoyRC]

@@stonejss727I know it was just funny 😆 both look like awesome rigs!

[@jagergerg9771]

Xmaxx is still king

[@stonejss727]

Options are always a good thing

[@Certifiedexoticpythons]

Not at all

[@michaelwenstrup8737]

Price for price red cat wins all day long “not saying it’s a better build but you get more for you $$”

[@user-jz6rg1bk5i]

We have a traxxas fan boy here!

[@iprincemajestic2.0]

One day I wish I could find an r/c video WITHOUT ANNOYING MUSIC and just the sound of nature, gears, and bashing!!!

[@stonejss727]

Ya.. actually I feel the same way…. It helps you get a better feel of the truck…It was really windy… I forgot my go pro so I used my iPhone…so there was a lot of wind noise… sorry

[@spike--]

Totally agree. If music starts playing I'm done watching.
