This is my new redcat rampage MT , i wanted something that i could relate to more then just a truck , my object is to try and find interest in my creation so that 6-8 or more people will get them to ,so we can build a mx track and race them together on sundays , so far it's been quite a great time and tons of laughs , it's perfectly proportioned 1/5 scale , my rider is a 30 " doll from the movie lil murmaid I cut her hair fiberglassed a custom made helmet to her head ,and strapped her to a fiberglassed body that I created off of my 250R scene in background , it's totally a great time , and video will be coming for sure it's still a bit rough around the edges but in time will be upgraded ,I'm just in process of getting all the bugs out and finding what lasts the longest and where I need strength . Anyway just wanted to share and see what you guys had to

Thanks man , appreciate the comments I think and everyone that sees it actually run laughs their ass off , it's quite comical to see this rider which is a 30"doll at wallmart the lil mermaid and then I have had to wrap her in that heavy flex seal tape so she would quit breaking legs and arms and hips it totally helped as shes more flexable now and wont break only down fall she gained some weight the body of quad is rough as it's all still in trial form as I am finding its weaknesses and faults but for the most part she is pretty durable so far , I want to get some guys that want them and I'd like to start making bodies once I get the bugs out and weight lightened but , let me tell you it's a hoot at the indoor arena cross it almost doubles the jumps I take on my 250R it's crazy fun and people laugh like it's a comedy club . I'd also like to build a big track and for us dads that never had kids we can meet on sunday and actually race them on a track , it's way more fun then driving a truck around cause it's like a lil rider and u want to see if and when she will bail lol lmao anyway, I just havent gotten crazy into the body work and finalizing but I'm planning a race outfit, boots and either perfectly made plastic body or just stick with the fiberglass one fiberglass seems to be tougher and itll last a long time , which is important as fixing the truck isnt a chore of it's own, I'd really like to know why redcat used such crappy steering system as the allen heads keep getting sheared off or they come loose I red lock tightened them in and it still does , maybe you know a trick, also redcat needs to make a silencer for that tuned aluminum pipe , I made one myself and it works but havent gotten it to want to stay on either , it's to loud without it . But it's crazy fun ,I'm in washougal washington home of the AMA motorcross track and nationals if you ever get in the area ,make one , or order one from me and come race with us , its early but I know there will be more enthusiasts I'm sure . I've raced quads for most of my life I'm 54 and this is the funniest thing I've ever had that is fun to play with , shiiit I almost got kicked out of the arenacross cause the guy building the track thought it was a lil kid and your not supposed to be on track before the races, we had a great laugh over that . Well my book here is done lol sorry but it's fun and I got alot of research and devotion to making this work and I appreciate your comment and hope we can race someday . That is if we are hear long enough or not locked down or quarantined, stay safe my friend we will talk again. Kevin. Trying to get some great clear video which it's hard for me to film and play at same time but im working on it when you see this catch 5 ' of air and land and then lean into a corner itll make your guts hurt from laughter and amazement.
