Shots fired. Redcat has decided its going to own 2024. Between the Vigilante, the Ascent 18, 10th scale Ascent, and now the Ascent Fusion, they are dominating. Arrma and Traxxas just keep rehashing alot of the same stuff with minimal changes. They're gonna need to step their game with these other companies gunning for them. Rlarrlo and FMS are looking for a piece of the action too. In the end, competition only benefits us, the consumer as we get more options and maybe even better prices. I can't wait to see what the rest of 2024 brings.
I have the vigilante. The vigilante is by far the best bang for the buck, very durable, handling is great. 860 if this or 1100 for a xmaxx, I'll take the vigilante and the xmaxx is my favorite RC.
Buddy got a Redcat on release day and it’s def a fantastic large body basher. He was ramping it and throwing everything at it and it just ate it all. He did eventually crack a hub, but that was after extensive bashing. For the money it’s def a great choice to go with.
@3:40 candy red R34 with bright lights on it a was awesome meeting you I was like I know that voice oh dang there you are and ya kid an awesome sales person
REDCAT is killing it with this!! This thing is just SICK!!! GREAT JOB TO REDCAT. They right back on the map with this one. Note to every one saying its similar the the xmaxx, HOW??? THE CHASSIS BREAKS INTO LIKE 4 PCS, LOL...Stop it...Hats off to a great design!!
lol that’s a under statement when you said it needs a little thicker in the center.. take the diffs apart like I did. There’s nothin in them! Like so dry that nothin will even think about dripping out if you hold it upside down with the ring gear off. I went 20million center 500k front 200k rear and that thing loves it. Oh and take that 18T pinion off and slap a 21-23t on it and it’s blast to drive
I was really hoping to seeing you drive one. Hopefully you will pick up one soon and do a unboxing and bash session. Keep up the awesome videos and reviews
From what I’ve seen, it’s the best handling 8s on the market both on the ground and in the air. Time will tell how durable it is, but out of the box, no 8s performs this smoothly in all areas.
This was a great video Mark had a bit of everything! I love the scale looks of the track and the cars drifting. I might have to build a drift car to scale for the garage one day. Also that RedCat I’ve seen it in a few videos and the thing looks awesome. I might even sell my Xmaxx and get one. Since I don’t bash the large trucks hard anyways, and I like the looks of the Redcat body more!
I’d love to get one but for now 860 is a little steep on price for me I’m even thinking of switching most of my Rc stuff too Redcat anyways over the years redcats have gotten more durable and there head quarters is right out of my home state. Yea there cars aren’t Roar legal but I’m not going pro in a day all it really matters is to have fun at the end of the day.
Redcat walking a tight tight line, given what went through with the terremoto last time they came too close to looking like a traxxas and the lawsuits they had to endure from them..
Mark, I don't care why you make my day. Ok that's a big fat lie, I do care. I know it's because you remind me of Tom Scholz. Your dedication to what you love is much like his.
aaah finaly a normal review and run from this truck without overplaying and over reacting and stupid face expression , thats why i'm follow you

aaah, finaly a normal comment with full letters in most of the words you write, that's why I stalk you, I'm proud of you. Bretzel & torche aux marrons forever ❤
Been wondering when or if u was gunna review this truck...ive seen it on Rc Driver like a week ago and a few others and i think it aint worth $400, so many issues right out the box,screws loose,tires wrong side and loose ,battery terminal was all bent amd not good....yeah i the Xmaxx all day...and Mini Maxx,they are the 2 Beasts on the Block...cant wait for a self righting M41 as well...kinda look dumb sitting sideways in the water ,but thats the design,and why it take so long Traxxas?? And for a Trailor??🥴
The vigilante has a power distribution problem with the power train ,front end has more torque than the rear,,put silicone ear plugs in center diff it will equalize the power distribution,and give the rear end more torque,diff fluid is a waste of time in the vigilante,center diff spins thicker diff fluid like the thicker fuild like it is not even there,, it yeah the new red cat vigilante has a lot of power,just need to lock center diff with silicone ear plugs..
Man I can't even afford the batteries to be able to enjoy my arrma of notorious 6s and seeing all you RUclipsrs with all these RC cars that aren't even opened yet and all these batteries that aren't even open yet kills me cuz I can't even afford to buy mine and I'm not broke I'm 37 I'm not a little kid it's just hard to have an extra $200 for batteries
Eh I like my Xmaxx,don't really care for my xrt it just sits,,,the new red cat vigilante is a good truck,have had mine about 3 weeks,and I play with truck more than my Xmaxx.
I think someone in his family works in Traxxas🤣🤣thats the reason i hate this YT channels all is fake they dont care about subscribers i came here because i saw it was the new Vigilante
Your around Leander? I thought you were West coast. I'm near you then, I'm 45 and retired recently so I'm getting into RC after doing a few frame off resto's on 60s Chevys, won trophies with them and looking for a CHEAPER hobby, even if its not that cheap. I need advice on controllers differences, traxxx 1/5 scale, and already looking ahead at possible motor swaps, servos, speed cont, ext...... Do you ever sale anything? Been watching vids fairly often but heard you say Leander, WHAT? LOL
Main thing fogging my mind is motors and how number of turns impact them, different controllers and is it just adding support features or do they impact the frequency range things like that. My last 2 rc were Lobo 2 and a Walmart 1/5 monster lol
The Vigilantes not even a comparison to the x-maxx I own both vehicles xmax is King I've already broken the vigilante screws like to keep coming loose I think the plastic is generic does the screw stripped out so bad plus the center diff exploded I haven't been having any luck with this truck my advice is to save your money

For $850, it's a clear YES! Even if its not as tough as the Xmaxx, they had me at the body alone and it seems durable enough for my style.
Oh it's definitely as tough as the X-Maxx. Some may say it may be tougher depending on who's video you are watching.

Love the look of this beast.
The truck looks great redcat has been putting out some great rcs lately 👌

cracked a CNC machined billet 7075 hub??🤔
The slide out RC cars inthe truck bed was pimpin for real man👏
Appreciate the shout, brother! 🔥🔥🔥
Waddup bro, I’m the guy who was at the swap meet that shook your hand and said “nice to meet you bro, but I’m not gonna be a groupie” 🤣🤣
Love the way it looks like a real truck with tires looking like they belong not overly huge
hell yeah to THS and RC Drift Network! both are great supporters of Mile High RC
That rig is so damn nice I want one just for a shelf queen 😂😂😂
@3:40 candy red R34 with bright lights on it a was awesome meeting you I was like I know that voice oh dang there you are and ya kid an awesome sales person

Awesome
If you look at a Redcat Kaiju the Vigilante looks like a 1/5 scale version of that

You had me laughing out loud so hard when you hit that ramp from behind 😂😂😂 I would have thought it was a double-sided ramp also 😅
Me too!!
That was epic and priceless
I was really hoping to seeing you drive one. Hopefully you will pick up one soon and do a unboxing and bash session.
Keep up the awesome videos and reviews
Nice truck! Redcat👍I think it kicked to the right cause it was angled to the right.
Truck looks insane great detail
Sent and then sent more. Loved the belly flop. 😂
yes rebranded XMAXX, with a bit of Kraton added, and a bit cheaper with a few different metal upgrades. Affordable.
NICE…. YOU STILL NEED A LOSI DBXLE 2.0 FOR CHANNEL REVIEW.. GREAT 1/5 BUGGY 😀😃🙏. SMASHED !!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Another awesome video, Mark! I love the channel.
Love watching your channel so many cool rc cars and trucks
From what I’ve seen, it’s the best handling 8s on the market both on the ground and in the air. Time will tell how durable it is, but out of the box, no 8s performs this smoothly in all areas.
nice truck they made👍👍👍
Go ahead you know your coming home with it.😊 Red.
It is literally a 1/5 scale version of a Kaiju it is awesome I can't wait for mine to come in
Nice truck!
man I love that taco spot at that gas station next door to Indy.
Always luv your vids Bro thanks for all you bring to the sport and RC Fam-Jam 👊🏽
Great video cars always looking good
Awesome, awesome truck. Of course it is a squarebody.
14:50 Hahaha...nice one.
Reminds me of the losi 1/10 high roller
Nice drift track
Get it!
I would the same area to play with my Rc ( s) . I like your repport . An hello to France.
I like the set up
The black Gorgon is a kit. The diffs and shocks are already built but you have to build the truck.
Once again, don’t disappoint us, great job man your awesome
Looks legit, thanks a lot there goes 900.
They have metal inserts for the 24 mm hex in the rim

I'm not an electric guy at all, but I feel like this is a truck that I would be interested in tho.
I'm picking Mines up Friday
She looks great man you need one lol
It’s crazy as a two piece chassis. I’ve never seen that on a fifth scale, but there could be one there definitely is now.😮😅
Xmaxx killer 👌
I like it
what is that huge tray/rc mat you pulled out at the beginning of the video???
Wonder if Traxxas will shut them down like they did arrma Nero big rock
I think you may need to go back and look at the Redcat 6s Kaiju and see some similarities.
Im gonna get it in gas whenever it goes on sale
That's send it sounded like some gear crunch. Who's hungry?
Looks a beast.
2 piece chassis a potential weakness?🤔
That car would look awesome with a fall guy shell n it….
I wish I could get your monster beetle.
Get a job & buy one
Damn I didn't go to the swap meet cuz I didn't see it on your calendar
The axial Betty scx24 you showed in beginning. Are you SELLING that?
Comes In Only One Color?
Where is this fun rc place? I wish I had this near me rc would be so much more fun for me if I had something like this near me
Should have got a TRX
Lol it’s a 1/5 scale big rock wink wink arrma
Bigger version of the kaiju v1
Mark let's see some narly bashing on this truck so don't take it the school yard take it to the skate park .
I’d love to get one but for now 860 is a little steep on price for me I’m even thinking of switching most of my Rc stuff too Redcat anyways over the years redcats have gotten more durable and there head quarters is right out of my home state.

Redcat walking a tight tight line, given what went through with the terremoto last time they came too close to looking like a traxxas and the lawsuits they had to endure from them..
It's a multiple PC chassis, it's nothing alike. It breaks in half with a bunch of support brackets.
It’s complimentary test drive then you can buy it used price lol
How do I get a T-shirt?👀
Mark, I don't care why you make my day.
Ok that's a big fat lie, I do care.
I know it's because you remind me of Tom Scholz.

@@rcjawn4479 i'm french if i say somthing wrong but funny , its ok for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The straps are prolly there to keep the axels from popping out😀 perhaps to hide a fault not a feature?
Got mine last week but east coast weather has denied me the pleasure so thanks for the vid
Your 1st ever redcat on the channel? Get the ascent too and crawl with it .
I think this is his fourth Redcat. He's shown the Everest Gen7, the RDS drift car and the custom hauler.

People have to complain about everything huh lol it's a public place
Traxxas hoss is like 420 bucks …
Random
@@thomaswalton9089 but accurate
Looks better made then the xmaxx an cheaper

I’m not a red cat fan at all! It’s very cheesy for the price! I defently would be buying something else for sure
Man I can't even afford the batteries to be able to enjoy my arrma of notorious 6s and seeing all you RUclipsrs with all these RC cars that aren't even opened yet and all these batteries that aren't even open yet kills me cuz I can't even afford to buy mine and I'm not broke I'm 37 I'm not a little kid it's just hard to have an extra $200 for batteries
Amazon then, some you can have 2 batteries for less then $100
Yeah, man. Amazon all day for me too. Two batteries for the price of one name brand battery.
Traxxas would charge $1500 for that Redcat 😂
Late to the game.
People have been doing reviews to this already. 🤔🤔🤔
Looks and drive better than the ugly dinosaur cartoon character xmaxx lol
Kinda looks like a hobby wing system surrounded by poorly designed plastic
for that money just spend the xtra and get an xrt
Eh I like my Xmaxx,don't really care for my xrt it just sits,,,the new red cat vigilante is a good truck,have had mine about 3 weeks,and I play with truck more than my Xmaxx.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the xrt is garbage
No, it resembles a Chevy square body pickup. Pretty sweet.
Commented on the wrong comment, sorry.
i hate redcat i bought one brand new and broke on the first day
Okay traxxas fanboy
I think someone in his family works in Traxxas🤣🤣thats the reason i hate this YT channels all is fake they dont care about subscribers i came here because i saw it was the new Vigilante
Sound like poors
🥲
Ok 12 year old. Don’t think he cares what you think anyways
He’s sure not doing this for free,ofc he’s making $$
Arrma all the way so grow up wow
That truck looks like something you would buy off of temu. Absolutely ugly af and cheap looking.
Lol dam
15 minutes later in the screws come out of the steering arm
