I have added the Vigilante Instruction Manual to the "Instructions" page.  You can find it by clicking this link or by going to the support tab then clicking instruction manuals

The Vigilante instruction manual is actually quite good.  It not only shows all of the ESC setup information but has clear exploded views complete with all of the part numbers.  There's also a full parts listing on the last couple of pages of the manual

Speaking of parts, I'll be adding all of the Vigilante parts and upgrades to the site as soon as Redcat makes them available so stay tuned for more updates

'till next time

The very first of the Vigilante parts have arrived and have been added to the site including wheels and tires.  The tires are 8" x 3.7" and the wheels feature a metal reinforced 24mm hex

Check them out here

Here's the first of what I'm sure will be many review videos of the new Redcat Vigilante.  This one is by RCDriver and is very thorough.  Greg (RCDriver) starts out with an unboxing, then he goes into detail about the diffs, shocks, chassis etc.  Then, he takes the truck out for a good run at his local BMX track and finally, he finishes up the video talking about what improvements he'd like to see

Check out the Vigilante here and check back soon for more info and reviews as they become available

Redcat has released this promo video for the new Vigilante 1/5 scale truck.  I have to say, whoever is driving the truck in this video threw down some really nice whips.

Check out more info on the Vigilante here and stay tuned for more reviews and info as soon as I have it

It's a Festivust miracle!!!  It's been several years since we've had a new 1/5 scale Redcat vehicle to talk about but now, finally we have one...the Vigilante!

The new Vigilante is a true 1/5 scale, EP 4wd truck.  It features a 4985 1250KV brushless motor, 160amp 8s capable ESC

I'll have more specs and info available soon but for now here are some links that might help:

1.  Buy a Vigilante from RampageShop.com here
2.  Check the specs and more info at Redcat's website here
3.  Parts and Upgrades coming soon to RampageShop.com here

Redcat announced their newest vehicle today and unfortunately, it's not a new 1/5 scale Rampage.  In fact, it's about as far from large scale as it could be at 1/18th.  If you're looking for something small and affordable, either for yourself or as a gift, this little crawler is only around $100 RTR so you can't go too wrong

Here's a link where you can check out all of the specs and info

A shipment of twenty Redcat Rampage HX-30HT 30kg Steering Servos arrived yesterday.  These servos are back in stock and ready to order now if you've been waiting for one.

Check out these and all other available servos for your Rampage here

A few more Rampage parts have just been re-stocked.  The most important of which is the Pull Starters but some Bind Plugs and MT Aluminum Front Lower Suspension Arms also arrived.

All of these parts are in stock and ready to order now and I expect more parts to arrive later this week as well

Thanks

Rob

I don't know why they're doing this but Redcat currently has the 25t metal diff gear sets (Part #50116) on clearance for under $5.  I can't match that price so here's a link where you can buy them directly from Redcat:

50116 - 25t Metal Diff Gears

You can also check out their clearance page here for other discounting Rampage parts

Something new is coming to Redcat next month so they are clearing out some of their rock crawlers and drift cars to "make room".  I don't know what the new vehicle will be but I'm hoping it will be a new Rampage of some kind (not likely).

Anyways, here's a link where you can check out the different vehicles they have on sale

A small shipment of blue painted Chimera bodies has just arrived.  These are in stock now and available for sale if you've been waiting for one.

Check out the Blue Chimera Body here or, head over to the "Bodies" page, scroll to the bottom and you'll also be able to find the clear version if you want to do a custom color

Thanks guys

​Rob

Good news, a small shipment of Redcat Rampage Catbox Aluminum Mufflers has just arrived.  If you want to add a little low end performance and a cool crackle sound to your Rampage, check out the Catbox mufflers

A few more parts trickled in this morning.  Nothing super excited but it's nice to have these available again:
​

• 050029 Blue Aluminum Shock Caps
• 07418 Chimera Rear Roll Cage
• 07428 XR, Chimera Front CVDs
• Receiver Bind Cables

All of these parts are back in stock but in limited quantities so if there's anything you need, I suggest grabbing them right away

Thanks guys

​Rob

You may have noticed the small number of parts and upgrades that have been trickling in over the past few days.  Well, today I'm happy to report that a large order has finally arrived and over 20 different parts and upgrades have been re-stocked.  Most of these new arrivals are for the Rampage MT but several also fit the X Series (XB, XT, Chimera etc).

There's too many parts to list this time but a few items of note are a couple of different MT bodies, some bearings as well as a couple of different aluminum upgrade parts

​A few of these re-stocked parts are only available in limited quantity so I'd grab them ASAP before they sell out again

Thanks guys

Rob

With the unfortunate discontinuation of the DuneRunner, Redcat has now also put several DuneRunner parts and upgrades on clearance.  These prices are too low for me to compete with so here's a link where you can buy them directly from Redcat:

View all clearance Redcat DuneRunner Parts and Upgrades here

I recommend grabbing these parts while you can as once they are sold out, they will be gone for ever...so sad

Thanks guys

Rob

Another small order of MT parts has just arrived.  This one contained a few aluminum upgrade parts that have been sold out for quite a long time including:
​

• 050001 MT Aluminum Front Lower Arms
• 050002 MT Aluminum Rear Lower Arms
• 050012 MT Aluminum Front Upper Arms
• ​050013 MT Aluminum Rear Upper Arms​

​Once again, stock is limited on these parts so if you've been waiting on them, I suggest you order them ASAP

Thanks guys

Rob

A small order of MT parts has just arrived.  Two popular items were on this order and are available now:

• 050024 MT Aluminum Tuned Pipe
• 50901-Clear MT Clear Bodies​

Stock is limited on both of these items so if you've been waiting on either, I suggest you grab them while you can

Thanks guys

Rob

Good news if you've been waiting on a blue aluminum roll cage for your Rampage MT.  A shipment of 12 pieces has just arrived and they are available to order now.

Great news large scale RC fans!  The new Redcat Machete 4S and 6S 1/6 scale trucks are now available.  I contemplated making them available here on RampageShop.com but have decided to only offer them at my other site, TeamRedcatShop.com.  Full details are coming soon but here are two links where you can check out the price and early information

Just a quick update today...

We're looking really good for parts and upgrades availability right now.  The majority of parts are in stock and ready to order.

With that said, the DuneRunner, XB, XBE, XRE, XTE and Chimera EP have all been discontinued for a while now and some parts specific to those vehicles are getting harder to find.  If you have an XB, XBE or DuneRunner, I highly recommend grabbing a few spare parts while you can.  Most parts will continue to be available well in to the future but several parts and upgrades specific to these vehicles have been discontinued already.

The Rampage MT, XT and Chimera SR are all still fully available se we should be good for parts and upgrades for these three well into the future

Thanks all for now, thanks for your continued support

​Rob

Good news if you have been waiting for new wheels and tires for your Rampage - a shipment of parts arrived earlier this week that contained a full assortment of wheels and tires for all of the Rampage models including the XB / XBE wheels and tires that have been out of stock for over a year!

Check them out on the wheels and tires page and be sure to grab some while you can - I'm not sure how quickly these will sell out and how long it will take to get more
