2 great trucks for sure. I'm not surprised that the Vigilante is faster, though. Iirc, out the box, it comes with the Hobbywing 4985. That motor is MUCH better than the stock XMAXX motor. You can raise graring and STILL have lower temps than the XMAXX stock motor. That being said, I got the 5687 Max5 combo in my XMAXX, and it's a beast, and I love it for that 😊. I plan on picking up a Vigilante some day, though. It keeps calling to me whenever I stop by my LHS.
Awesome review,crazy first year vigilante is out ,and it's little bigger than xmaxx faster handled s better,come on Traxxas time revamp this platform with better electronics.
Vigilante is a XMaxx killer all day my opinion Traxxas makes plastic junk. Only good thing in their cars are the motor everything else breaks way too easy they are high price for no reason paying for the name and the only reason why they are so popular because people hype them up .
On the fence for the vigilante... It's on sale

Excellent bash I love both
Nice run and I like the way the x maxx ride even though it needs to be geared up 💯💨👍🏽
Nice vid i put the vigilante tires on my xmaxx there awesome 🙂
Turn your tsm up and it will run straight, I run 22/46 and 24/46 with no overheating issues but have to be mindful of Temps in the sumner
Xmas need that wide kit it will handle like a champ. Also up pinion on Xmaxx. Now that vigilante is a beast.
Is the Traxxas batteries and adapters. If you used to put different adapters and use different batteries that thing will be a beast 💯💨
I'm going to get some adapter soon.
It may just need a battery upgrade for a little more speed. A higher C rate.
Thanks again.
You already know absolutely that's all it needs

Very true. These companies are starting to get it right now. Traxxas needs to step it up a bit.
Or better yet, just give us rollers so we can put whatever we want in them...
That would be a lot better as a roller.
Thanks for watching.

I run 20t pinion and 44 spur on my xmaxx 53 mph, and those stock tires you running ballooning too much.
I never got to Ride like that😂😂
It's a beast.
My xmaxx goes 43mph with stock gearing.
