@boduke9428 4 ай бұрын
I have both and disagree. You gotta really try to roll the Fireteam. It's rock steady sliding. I think the Vigilante handles like my 8s Outcast exb with a Max 5 760kv when I run it on 6s. I have a set of the Outcast v2 tires to put on my Vigilante to see if they improve the handling. I think the Outcast is better because of that thick heavy chassis being so low to the ground. The Vigilante is definitely better than my Xmaxx handling wise. I'm gonna put a Max 5 and big can motor in it but seeing this makes me think it's better to wait until Vitavon or someone makes an aluminum center diff for it. If the Max 6 and little motor are doing this then way more power and geared to the moon definitely wouldn't be good. Somewhat off topic but I think the Fireteam is the best all around basher there is of any size. It does everything well and is even fairly powerful stock. Air control is pretty good once you move the battery tray back and ear plug the center diff. I've ran stock electronics with the speed pinion over a year and half without a single issue. I do plan to donate the Vigliante electronics to the Fireteam when I upgrade them.
@knowair6767 4 ай бұрын
From just watching, the Vigilante sure seems to handle exceptionally for it's size. My use is very similar to what you're doing here, ripping a track and just general shenanigans. For which I think the Vigilante is perfect for. Shame about the diff, though not suprising, those MX43'S will stress any rc's drivetrain. Besides costing as much as tires for my DD(Scion xB), they're just too heavy for me to bother with. Nice vid brother!!👍🍻

@craigtaylor2332 4 ай бұрын
I've always been under the impression that the looser the diff oil the hotter it gets, so maybe running just ear plugs without oil will solve the heat issue, I was just reading a write up on a rc forum dedicated to differential tuning and the concensus is lighter weight oil can "cook" the diff causing clicking and thermal expansion. Maybe its worth a shot to stuff a few silicone ear plugs in their and see if that helps keep it cooler. I'm not very savvy when it comes to diff tuning but it could be worth it just to try and then you can eliminate that being the issue. Anyways keep up the great content and hope you get it sorted because they truck is so close to being just the best 5th scale.
@Hungrybird474 4 ай бұрын

@Stepside906 4 ай бұрын
just finished the video i think the heat is caused by the diff "diffing" too much. i would try shimming it up a little tighter and pack it completly full of ear plugs so its almost like a spool. see if that helps untill someone comes out with a aluminum diff cup. maybe M2c or scorched or someone is already working on it.
@riffraffsrc 4 ай бұрын
Such an awesome truck man!🔥 I'm wondering if the heat is because the rear dif might be putting extra work on the center if it is low or has too much friction for some reason. It could be those heavy pro lines too. I think I'd stick with stock tires until an aluminum dif case is available but it does seem to run OK with them other than the heat. Of course the servo is probably taking a hit from the heavy tires too.. Great video brother! 💯 🤜 🤛
@mikebailey6388 4 ай бұрын
Glad that you let us know about the earplugs issue. I litterly did the earplug after watching your video. I contacted Redcat support to find out what stock diff fluid weights are....100k front, 150k center, 80k rear.

Dude that little blower is freaking genius! I’ve always wished that someone made a blower to blow my rc’s off after I’m done with them. Just didn’t know they already had one. I just ordered one soon as you pulled it out lol. And yea that skid plate I knew was going to be a problem with keeping the diffs clean, that was a poor design on that. I don’t even take my Vigilante in the sand for that exact reason. Vitamin and M2C will for sure engineer, everything we need to make these vigilantes bullet proof🤞

I used some silicone lubricant on one of the RC s after cleaning and then blew it out with compressor air and it looks brand new . I saw Walmart had two brands , one was 3in 1 labeled for RV care and the other Blaster silicone lubricant which I got . Worked great . I had used wd 40 but noticed dirt build up .

Nice truck. Maybe have to stick with the stock wheels & tires until an aluminum case is available. Or, might be worth a check to see if your XMaxx-turned-XRT’s center diff is interchangeable since there is already a metal (w/ cooling fins) upgraded center diff for it.
@thomasedwards9024 4 ай бұрын
no worries the exact same happened to me. played around witg deff weights, earplugs caused heat. the plastic casing on diff does not agree with the gears themselfs getting hot. they spread and chew the ears. i bought 3 diff set ups. and tried a few plugs, alot of plugs, and 20mil diff fluid. all sane results. i ordered another diff assembly and returned it close to stock. we'll figure this out. so many extra parts laying around now. but i am back up and running. been battling this since it released. i got it over night shipped the same day it released. i have a ton of info just no youtube to help post and inform others before they try it. i even tried extra shimming and no shimming. all the same results sadly. only spent amost 200 dollars on just gears for this truck. 😅

@chadbiermann3380 4 ай бұрын
Hopefully you will get it sorted out. I would guess that cleaning it out and only earplugging it would reduce the friction inside and maybe less heat would build up? Just a guess though. It doesn't seem like any fresh air can get to it the way its buried deep inside all the plactic housings. Maybe a few breathing holes could be drilled in the housing to let some of the heat escape? The truck looks like a ton of fun to drive. But I can't speak from experience. Keep up the great work Guy!!

I'm only a little bit into the video so far but I just wanted to add that when you backed into that tree your truck changed directions very abruptly from going backwards to forward as you tried to save it. That, on 8s, could definitely calls issues in a diff gear. Now if you would put like 20 million or 5 million somewhere around that oil in there you probably would not have had the issue but that ear plug can get broken up inside of the diff. I stopped using earplugs a long time ago and there's better ways to lock a diff up that isn't truly locking it up and allowing it to move as it needs to to help save you from instances like that.

Metal diff case for sure. I'd even rig a fan on it to keep it cooler. The truck is primed to be the next big contender, it just needs a couple tweaks. A rig that size shouldn't have to struggle with heavier tires, and the hottest part of the rig should not be plastic. Once that metal diff comes out, this thing will dominate the competition. It's already so much lighter! I truly appreciate your content. Thanks, and keep up the exquisite work!

Greatly appreciated, you saved me and om sure orhers 800 bucks. Ill stash that RC residual income and wait and see if any new releases from Arrma or losi will drop. Better 1/6 and 1/5 scale RCs that wont crumble after a few packs i.e screws falling out, diffs stripping etc. Thee hype for this truck is over, now all you see are videos of Xmaxx type issues with this truck.

2 minutes in...iirc ExocagedRC guy did basically what you did and then some, he filled the center diff with earplug(s), then even went ahead and put a bigger motor in it, yours breaking is probably bad luck rather than pushing it, i dont remember if he also changed tires on it, but he went crazy on everything else, his truck seems ok, crazy air jumps too.

the grease will not help. makes it worse. breaks down the earplugs making a super thick goey substance that thins the hotter it gets which in turn will let the assembly of gears move and cause Friction adding even more heat. trust me. went through 3 diffs

From what I can see it looks like there was way to much in the diff and was causing it to expand from heat and then made the gears slip because if you look at the big gear on the right the outer edge is not normal looking! But you should only be filling that up to the top cross bar of you’re gears don’t fill it up so much and it should be fine but check you shims if there is any and make sure they are fine first before putting back together

You didn’t do anything wrong, they know what we are going to do to these things. The diffs are just the weak point on that truck. I saw Exocaged on you tube break the rear diff on his second run. Chipped the teeth off of the ring gear. I will buy one of those, but I am waiting until Vitavon comes out with their diffs and other upgrades. I drive harder than Exocaged and I definitely bash harder than you. That’s not a dig on you or Exocaged, I’m just not happy unless I’m doing close to 80+ and sending it 100 feet in the air. That’s what RC is to me.
