    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

    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!

    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

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

      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.

    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.

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

    • @GarageLifeRC
      @GarageLifeRC  3 дні тому +2

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

    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 🥴💪🤕

    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

    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.

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

    • @smoothwookienookie5912
      @smoothwookienookie5912 Місяць тому +1

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

    • @user-wp9mz
      @user-wp9mz Місяць тому +2

      @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

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