I'm just blown away with the problem videos I'm seeing on the Vigilante , I've had zero issues with mine . I did go threw the drive train tuning with oils and adding grease on all the gears . Punch at 3 and a 22t pinion . Hopefully all goes well for you . Yes my paint is chipping also , I ordered a clear body 😊
How'd you manage to get a 22t on it? I tried a 23t, but could only get one bolt in the slide. Didn't figure that'd hold. Been stuck using a 20t, thinking that was as big as it'd go.
Don’t worry brother. If the high quality gear retainer continues to give you trouble, I can probably fab something up for you out of a plastic cup from Dollar General
Great video! I think the best hope is someone makes upgraded gears! But i dont think the company is gonna do anything! At best send you a new set of powder gears which will end up the something you started with!
@@kgm5512 hmm. Maybe some machined gears themselves? Pretty sure vitavon is going to make the full driveline. This truck interest me more than the xmaxx because of the way it drives and the electronics among other things
exact thing i was worried about with redcat, drive line plastic housing's etc. they melt over time and its sad they set it up that same way. ive seen a few with the gears stripped
Im having the same problem the plastic cap is not keeping the gear down tight and keeps stripping my gears and now the cap broke and redcat doesnt have the part i put vitovon gears in front and rear diffs and they make a motor mount and aluminum gear cover now $100 not cheap but may be my only option and hopefully it fits well and keeps it in tight i love this truck its really the only flaw but its a bad one the rest of the truck is awesome 🤔
Kgm, wut up? Hope u remember me. Anyway my paint is doing the same thing and my rear diff the pinion and ring gear broke twice. The second time I had been in the run only 5min.
The name is familiar boss! Did you do your own dimple port? Maybe? Anyway glad to hear I’m not alone with my problems it’s all back together now so we shall see how the next run goes
YES, YOU REMEMBERED ME! That makes my day man! That dimple was the bomb! I also love my redcat vigilante. Robinson racing should come out with gears. That would be nice!
I here ya they should give these RCs a total bash session over and over before they put out a product I’m finding that happing in a lot of new wave products thanks for sharing your thoughts I’m with ya 110% 🤙🏁🛞👊
