Redcat Vigilante 8S 1/5 Scale Brushless Monster Truck Now Includes Upgraded CNC Gear Set
This is a 1/5 scale monster basher/truck, a category explicitly noted as historically NOT covered for Redcat ('Generic bashers and Monster Trucks (non-scale)'). It's also a minor spec refresh (added CNC gear set to an existing RTR) rather than a new product launch, which caps it low per the routine catalog-variant rule. Not scale-crawler/trail themed, not a community 3D print, not a major-brand kit release story with strong novelty. Low fit for this show's editorial focus.

Redcat's Vigilante 8S, a 1/5 scale brushless monster truck with a Hobbywing 4985 1250KV motor and 160A ESC, now ships standard with a CNC ring, pinion, and transmission gear set plus an aluminum center differential case and CNC spur gear. The RTR truck features 4-wheel independent suspension, three tunable differentials, 8" x 3.7" open lug tires on satin chrome wheels, and 80s-inspired pickup styling.
