okay, that's actually cool.

Damn. Someone beat me to it. I'm usually the first one to post about new stuff from the other manufacturers. It's all good! I like the VIGILANTE. I hope it's durable.

The cost is $859.99. Have to see some quality reviews. Razor?

Looks cool though!

Thing looks pretty sick! The body looks like a mix between a scale trail truck and a basher, which is actually pretty cool, I tend to like more realistic bodies. Also appears to have either a Max5 or Max6 esc. The more competition, the better

 

[Luke66]

So long as the body isn't as flimsy as the BR6S

Everyone should shoe goo and drywall tape that body anyway as there's real rollcage. Realised that was a dumb comment after putting it but won't let me delete. lol

Not bad at all honesty.

RedCat is finally doing something cool!

I don't like that it's a 2 piece chassis it's a built in weak spot, it's going to want to separate at that point every time you land hard pressure is going to go right there it'll be constantly pushing and pulling at that point.

Truth....

Looking closer at it, it looks far to close to the X-MAXX. Lawsuit incoming.....

It's traxxas of course they'll sue if they can, surprised they haven't tried to patient all rc sized wheels

Looks epic and a HCG truck. So yeah it can compete with the xmaxx because it is on the same category of vehicle. Something the arrmas 8s are not they are truggies. Im sure im going to trigger people for saying that. Its the simple truth. Arrma cant let go of making flat chassis

Looks like an Xmaxx copy that everyone on here will swoon and rave about, but at the same time say the Xmaxx is junk.

That being said, I am excited about another new addition to the market. Competition only helps the consumer.

Those front tires sure love to turn into pizza cutters. Looks like it has lots of power.
