The all new Redcat Vigilante VS the Traxxas Xmaxx! This is the video you have all been waiting for! Both truck are sent massive off the Death Ramp! Will they both survive?
@Thunderrc that frontflip backflip was insane!!! There is NOBODY on youtube that bashes these cars like you do!! Long time follower here and i am a huge fan.
Redcat has been killing it, honestly. A massively overlooked brand, from the majority. I absolutely love the body on this truck and those dusted chrome rims are perfect. It has a classic look. $150-200 cheaper than an XMAXX/Kraton 8s too.
@@thunderrc Much appreciated ! Some people can tear up a rock. You seem to get more proper landings and less breakage. All things break but mostly due to landing on one corner, etc. Shit happens. Does not mean they are junk. But others have the Ford Vs Chevy or rather Traxxas vs everyone else. Love my xmaxx but like the others too.
I've been preaching this about the CEN Reeper forever, but you see how well that's gone. I do really like the Vigilante. Gonna have to pick one up eventually.
Agree , I go out of my way to not buy traxxas and of course I like and own them being into the hobby for so long . I’d rather see this truck do well and get this company in mix with horizon and traxxas
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw I agree. I won’t buy Traxass anything, I’ve had a few in the past but no more for me. Been around long enough to see when a brand cares and supports its customers and when they don’t. So I find this an interesting alternative to a lighter 1/5 basher. I love my Outcast 8s rigs and for him to say it reminded him of that, I had to smile 😬
Best Redcat video out yet, other videos jokers act like it's a Lamborghini and don't want to run it hard, I don't blame them tho. Either way Best Redcat test video out to date. Thanks for the share 😀
Redcat is officially a serious player in the 8s/5th scale market. The brandfans are going to lose their heads and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it 😆 🤣
It looks awesome bro. Seems like it has a lot of potential, but when you ripped the X-Maxx it was a whole different story. Probably because we already know that the X-Maxx just takes almost any abuse. Great video and great to see another new truck. I liked the Lipos 🙂
That went better than I expected. Nice job Redcat. Nice job to you too Thunder RC! I think the Vigilante needs a shot, of 56mm HW, that should wake it up. Ear plug the center diff, then see what ya got. Sweet rig Bro!
I think he is still getting the feel of the Redcat and of course later down the road you're going to have to upgrade it just like you did his x-maxx but personally I think it's going to be an awesome basher can't wait to get one you truly test them out
You’re the only one that noticed it lol 😂😂😂 Rocky added that sound effect to the video. We always have people walking their dogs in our neighborhood. Dog poop 💩 everywhere !!
Hey Rocky, and Rocky's mom, I had just written to another youtuber to try and get him to get this truck literally two days ago and here you guys got to it first - way to go!! I actually prefer you review it but I didn't think you did anything with Redcat so I didn't ask. This was just what I wanted to see - the Vigilante vs the Deathramp, and the thing held it's own. The bump flips really show a truck's ability to take a punch and that it did. Thank you guys for doing such good work with these tests. Now hop this thing up, wait for the weather to clear and let's see that beast get a true beating!
Hey Bro! Thanks for watching man! This is my first Redcat RC Car and I am definitely impressed! Very happy with this truck so far! More videos to come soon! To the moon!
It definitely is a more intimidating looking truck. Looks bigger than the xmaxx flying through the air. Put some copperhead 2's or some other huge tires. The suspension is killer, yeah this the one for me lol
I don’t know mabey the Xmaxx is slightly better but you can’t beat the looks of that Redcat! That is a good looking truck! I’ll buy it for the looks partly and it performed really well.
Do you know if any pinion gears are being offered at this point or what pinion do you know that would work? I just purchased one and would like to upgrade based off you saying it needs to be geared up.
Restrained bash. 5 or 6 jumps, was that a whole battery pack? Can't see it surviving long term after a few heavy hits. 2 more videos and we won't see it again.
Time will tell !!! I’m not making excuses , but ….. We were rushed today with some bad weather coming and also had to get out of the street because of our neighbors surprise birthday party lol. 😂 More videos to come. Stay tuned and we shall see how it survives more bashing
Ive been waiting to see if it had any weak points ill wait for maybe another bashing session i want to see if its durable before buy it maybe a larger motor would do it some good turn up the punch
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw I meant we will try to do a skatepark video lol. I don’t like to film skateparks cause I’m afraid 😱 ⚡️😱😱😱 I’m gonna fall into the bowl. Haha But we will try to get a good skatepark bash soon with the red Cat !
I've watched pretty much all your videos. And your opinion means a lot if you had to choose between the team. Karaleigh kagama and the new crate in success. BLX with the aluminum gifts and all that which one would you get? Your opinion really matters. Cause you really put the trucks through their paces. And? See what they will do
Traxxas really needs to f off with the lawsuit thing and start supporting the hobby. It's supposed to be fun, not some hen house full dramatic politics where traxxas can't take a joke. Traxxas also needs to lower their prices and offer roller kits without electronics.
@@shawndockins4561 the only thing traxxas has spent millions on is lawyers. And maybe permissions to use Ford or Chevy bodies. If they wanted to "protect their design" maybe they should stop selling base models for double what they used to and make the new ultimate models the norm and sell them for half the current price.
Did I just find my new Favorite RC Channel? Well, as today's youth would put it; Say Less...
That Redcat though. MAN!!!
@Thunderrc that frontflip backflip was insane!!! There is NOBODY on youtube that bashes these cars like you do!! Long time follower here and i am a huge fan.
Thank you so much bro!🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥

Yes I have to agree! Redcat nailed it with this one!
It is so awesome that Redcat has stepped up their game.
Yes it truly is!!!
Looking forward to more bashing on the Redcat!
On the fence of buying one.
Thanks brother! Me too! Gonna gear her up and go bigger next time!🚀🚀⚡⚡⚡🚀🏆🏆
Thank you for going out and getting the Vigilante. I wanted to see how it worked for you. Happy with my purchase.
Anytime bro!I am glad I could make this happen! I am very happy with the truck too! 🚀⚡🔥🔥🔥

I got one too, really like this one, like the handling and wide stance it turns better than expected and the body looks awesome!
Really interested in the Vigilante. Nice rip, I see it gaining popularity once people actually get experience with it. People so quick to judge.
Once everybody gets over their BrandFan Feever, the vigilante will rocket in sales and popularity.

Cen reaper is a great truck , but I think a lot of bad drivers and they need a truck like a Rubbermaid garbage can or lots of spare parts near by 😂😂😂

Short and sweet vid. right to the point. I had doubts about redcat, but im open to new rigs from them. thank for the bash and info. have fun.
Thanks so much brother! ⚡⚡⚡🏆🏆🏆
Best Redcat video out yet, other videos jokers act like it's a Lamborghini and don't want to run it hard, I don't blame them tho. Either way Best Redcat test video out to date. Thanks for the share 😀
Truly appreciate it! I try to give a good durability test out there!
Agreed! I thought the truck was poop before this video.
What do u think is the best gearing for a stick Xmaxx
Man I swear ur xmaxx is made of rubber. When u flipped that flower bed the whole truck looked like a bounce ball in slow motion. Lmao.
Redcat is officially a serious player in the 8s/5th scale market.
The brandfans are going to lose their heads and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it 😆 🤣
You and me both!Redcat has been stepping it up every year.
You are exactly right captain!!! ⚡️💯💥💥💥
The brand specific guys are on the edge of their seat hoping something breaks on the redcat.😄😄
I was wanting an xmaxx for quite awhile ever since it came out. Now it's time to get one or build myself one! ;)
That wide stance is sick and handling looks solid and it diffently took some hard landings.. so from what I saw it gets a RC 8 out of 10..😊
It looks awesome bro. Seems like it has a lot of potential, but when you ripped the X-Maxx it was a whole different story. Probably because we already know that the X-Maxx just takes almost any abuse. Great video and great to see another new truck. I liked the Lipos 🙂

Seems Pretty Solid... Well done Redcat.
Big fan, great video. Your driving has become dialed especially on the death ramp. Keep it up!
Truly appreciate it my brother! Thank you for watching and your support! More action coming soon!🚀🚀⚡⚡⚡
the front flip to back-lit was sick Af. nobody drives better.
Thanks so much man! Truly appreciate it!
Super pumped you got the redcat, excited to see it on channel.
Thank you!!!
Thanks so much bro! I am super happy with the truck so far!🚀⚡⚡⚡⚡
U do a awesome job my absolute favorite watch bro please don’t stop
Thank you so much!💪⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆
Im loving the Redcat vigilante! I beat the dog snot out of mine and only blew out the rear diff. I think Redcat killed it with this one.💪💪💪
How many packs did you run , the diffs are super light and low , you have tune them if going go hard
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw 2 packs. I should have checked them and shimmed them up,no fault of the truck.
That is awesome to hear bro! If that is all that broke with a proper beating then that is pretty solid man! 💪💪⚡⚡🏆🏆🚀🚀
🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥you def showcased its full potential im actually impressed .
Thanks so much my brother! Me too! 🚀⚡⚡🏆🏆⚡⚡⚡🚀🚀
Vigilante did good but the xmaxx did super good! 👍 Awesome video too
Nice vid bro! Gorgeous jumps and stable landings, that's brillant 😎
Can’t wait to see more of the Redcat man👍💪
Hell yeah man great video your the first one on CZcams to put them together and redcat killed it this time
Thank you bro! So far the truck has been a beast! Very happy with my purchase!💪⚡⚡
Wow definitely has lots of potential. Looks like a sweet rig too. Can’t wait to see upgrades in future
Looks like the Xmaxx is having some trouble keeping it's body on!
Finally someone sent the vigilante! 🚀🚀
Buddy...👊🏼..its been a minute......glad your still having fun..👊🏼😎
Thanks for checking in bro! Always a good time! ⚡⚡⚡
No one bashes as consistently hard as you bro,apart from maybe duperbash ,keep it up 😂😂
There’s so many places that won’t even see this truck on the shelves for years still. You’re one lucky dude man. ☺️👍
Been waiting to see this LETS GO 🔥
0:06 Nice touch Julia🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WHOA! That Vigilante seems to be very tough as hell especially in stock form Rocky👍👍😎😎👍👍
🤣⚡️🤣⚡️🤣⚡️🤣⚡️😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣
You’re the only one that noticed it lol 😂😂😂 Rocky added that sound effect to the video. We always have people walking their dogs in our neighborhood. Dog poop 💩 everywhere !!
Haha Im glad you noticed the beginning of the video! 😂😂😂⚡⚡🏆So far the Redcat is a beast bro and I am very happy with it!
@@juliachatwell The way he looks back at you it's like Rocky is saying ''I can sure smell those dog farts from here'' LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@juliachatwell Has Rocky ever landed in any 🐩💩 💩💩🐩🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell yea Redcat!!!!!!!!!! I'm sold.they knew who they were going up against and so far it looks like they showed up.
Heck Yeah!!!! Redcat made a beast!

It definitely is a more intimidating looking truck. Looks bigger than the xmaxx flying through the air. Put some copperhead 2's or some other huge tires. The suspension is killer, yeah this the one for me lol
Thanks I just purchased mine.
Already have an outcast 8s EXB, but I'd still consider buying this just for the price alone. Spares I would assume are a lot cheaper too.
Looks like a nice basher truck.
😊
What we've all been waiting on
Yessir!!!🌩
Awesome video brother great driving out there. ⚡️👍🛞
It's the same weight as Outcast. Great video.
RedCat is definitely in the bashing game! Can’t wait to see more from it!!!
Yes they are rising to the big leagues! 🏆🏆⚡⚡⚡⚡
Yo Thunder you’re killing it. Great bash brother glad I stopped by it’s been a hot minute. You and your girl still going good? 👍
Now hear me out... Mini front flip ramp into death ramp! Haha
Just video i was waiting to see. Hopefully i will be able to afford one.
Thanks! Yes you should get one! It is an awesome truck! ⚡⚡🚀🚀🚀🏆🏆⚡
Thunder, in your right pants pocket, Copenhagen or Skoal? I prefer Copenhagen myself LOL.
Nice one
Pretty awesome truck...
I don’t know mabey the Xmaxx is slightly better but you can’t beat the looks of that Redcat! That is a good looking truck! I’ll buy it for the looks partly and it performed really well.
You can't beat that price 👍💥
Sweet gear it up and round 2
Yes we will do just that! 🤩⚡️💯
Absolutely brother! Round 2 is coming soon! 🚀🚀🚀🚀⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Truck seems nice , looks cool too
Looks like it need some diff tuning . You delivered like usual.
Ccxrc said the same thing
Yes not even usable for guys like thunder , all the powers being wasted , they said they did it purposely but also low level
@@jaxfan now imma look it up
Thanks brother! Yeah I need to work some kinks out but man this truck has great potential! Possibly legendary!
@@thunderrc it looks like a good truck . It’s up to us buyers to tune it to our standards
Do you know if any pinion gears are being offered at this point or what pinion do you know that would work? I just purchased one and would like to upgrade based off you saying it needs to be geared up.
Redcat, THE clear winner!
Restrained bash. 5 or 6 jumps, was that a whole battery pack? Can't see it surviving long term after a few heavy hits. 2 more videos and we won't see it again.
Time will tell !!! I’m not making excuses , but ….. We were rushed today with some bad weather coming and also had to get out of the street because of our neighbors surprise birthday party lol. 😂
More videos to come. Stay tuned and we shall see how it survives more bashing
You very well could be right but I have a sneaky feeling the truck is actually pretty good!
The XMaxx is the Gumby of Bashers
Freaking epic!
Vigilante has my attention... I might get one someday
You sir is prob the best rc basher on CZcams, great video as usual
I truly appreciate brother! Thank you so much! 🏆⚡⚡🚀🚀🚀🚀
I never would have expected that ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks so much! I’m shocked too as it held up on the bump flip crash!💥
Yeah bro I am super stoked on Redcat now! What an awesome truck! 🚀🚀🚀⚡⚡⚡
I've been waiting for someone do do this video!!! Most viral RC video on CZcams right now!
Is this completely stock out of the box? If so, what are you going to do to this RC to improve it? That's what im curious about!
I like it. Just worried bout the split chassis
It does need gearing up but I did see rc driver get 43mph that's about what the originally 8s outcast rtr was hitting on stock gearing
Bro you put that Vigilante through it's paces. I know you sold a hundred of them just off this vid😆 Redcat needs to give you a piece of that action!
Thank you brother! I truly appreciate it man! Hopefully they will sponsor me! 💪⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Nice
It sure is a nice looking truck
The body is super cool!
it looks like vigilante might need camber adjusting. it looks like it has positive camber.
If it drives straight then its fine.
Wow ...new scale 5 RC
Hell ya
How did that Redcat not break on that bad ramp crash ???? WOW tuff Truck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I thought the same! Not a scratch and sent it huge!!! Super stoked on this truck man! 🚀🚀🚀⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
You should have thickened up the center diff first on the redcat sick as usual
That boy diffing out 😂. But its good. Some diff tuning and gear change good to go
Did every bit as good as i thoight amd was expecting it would. The really question is how long will it go
Do you have a video showing what is done to your xmaxx etc? I want to make mine as strong as yours lol. Also, the red cat impressed me fr fr
Don’t do a thing and super cheap to do this . The rear hubs used to be weak but new ones have the better hubs
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw You talking about the updated carrier kit ? cause if so thats what I have in my traxxas cart, along with the bigger bearings.
Yes I do have several videos out there showing what I have done to the Xmaxx and it is a true beast! Ill send you the link!
Way to go redcat hanging in there with the Xmaxx 👍👍
💪⚡⚡⚡🏆
Ive been waiting to see if it had any weak points ill wait for maybe another bashing session i want to see if its durable before buy it maybe a larger motor would do it some good turn up the punch
Good Bash! Lets see it land on the center chassis at the skatepark brotha🤙😁
Ooooooo skatepark might end it !!! Who knows. We will try!
Why would try to break it 😂 i just hope the diffs are strong and we have xxmaxx killer
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw I meant we will try to do a skatepark video lol. I don’t like to film skateparks cause I’m afraid 😱 ⚡️😱😱😱 I’m gonna fall into the bowl. Haha
But we will try to get a good skatepark bash soon with the red Cat !
Oh yeah that will do some damage bro! Haha Redcat is in for a wild ride! ⚡⚡🚀🚀🚀🚀
@@thunderrc cant wait to see you gear it up right Good stuff 👊
Killer man!!!!
yeah buddy!!!!!!❤❤
Thanks brother! Redcat truly impressed me out there!!!!!!!🚀⚡⚡🚀🏆🤩🤩
Seems like you beat the shit out of the XMaxx a lot more!
Yes I am very comfortable with the Xmaxx. It is my number one truck for many years now.
Yes this i want to see 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
redcat looks good. Gear it up and send it again.
👍👍👍
Good evening 😊
It may not be an Xmaxx, for $850, it is my next purchase!😊

If I didn't already have an xmaxx I would get it
Is it a HSP?😮
stiffer diff fluid in the center of the redcat will make it faster and jump better. It unloads to the front too easy
Just waiting on the traxxas lawyers to get them. Look how close the chassis design is. Traxxas doesn't play around with that stuff.
Traxxas really needs to f off with the lawsuit thing and start supporting the hobby. It's supposed to be fun, not some hen house full dramatic politics where traxxas can't take a joke. Traxxas also needs to lower their prices and offer roller kits without electronics.
Traxxas spends millions on there platforms. I would protect my investments too.
@@shawndockins4561 the only thing traxxas has spent millions on is lawyers. And maybe permissions to use Ford or Chevy bodies.

Xmaxx is still the king
Fix the Outcast, bring all three out, would yuh
I think he sold it
I sold the Outcast for money 😂😂Sorry bro.
O boy! That why I wasn't seeing any more . Chaw!
Xmaxx is still King
XMaxx is amazing king 👑 XMaxx!!!👑👑👑
Xmaxx is number 1!
Oh noooooo haven't even watched but I can't expect much from that redcat will I be proven wrong who knows
