    Plagued with Engine Starting and Tuning Issues (Seems never ending)

    I live in the Northeast USA. So we have four actual seasons. The change from warm fall weather to sub zero winter weather is the only real time I notice that I need an adjustment. Cold air is denser than warm air. Which means even a properly tuned carb may struggle with a too lean mixture in...

    Driveshaft Removal

    Sometimes it takes a bit for people to get online to see your question and actually know the answer. Glad you tried it and came back to let others know your findings. I have ran the Rampage MT without the front center dogbone. I liked how it drove. But eventually shredded the rear diff. That was...

    Plagued with Engine Starting and Tuning Issues (Seems never ending)

    What is up man. Sorry to hear these issues. I can suggest a few things to help. But not guaranteed to solve the problems. 1. Make sure each of the RC's fuel tanks are vented. The Rampage MT is a big culprit of that. Mine would start to bog at a half tank and down. Then if I shut it off. It...

    It's very very quiet in here

    Doing well Sir. About to replace a few worn parts on the Rampage MT then the DR needs love too. Center shaft drive cups are pretty bad on the DR.

    How can I be sure what version I have? V2 or V3 what are the distinguishing features?

    The V3 has steel transmission gears that use one nut in the center to hold them on the mounting square and shaft. Older versions used four pins on the gears. If you take the cover off the side you can see what I mean.

    Dunerunner Discontinued?

    It is sad that the DR seems to be gone. I now have more discontinued RC models than current. I have only been in 5th scale five years.. Ugggh I see a lot of the X series gone too. I waited too long to buy a XR. That really hit me hard when I went to look for one.

    Best direct fit steering servos

    There are no true direct fit servos for the Rampage MT. The size of the stock servo is oddly shaped and sized. I would start looking at your servo saver first though. To go through three sets that quick something is wrong. Or the servos aren't synchronized properly? I had a hard time getting the...

    LITERALLY burnt out my throttle servo

    I use a Savox 1210 for throttle in the MT. Lipo capable and waterproof.

    Looking to buy rims and tires

    Change your wheel hexes to 24mm and your wheel choices are wide open. I have been using Proline wheels with their Badlands mx43 tires made for the xmaxx for a couple years now. They are great. The center hole needs drilled to 18mm and boom they fit any 24mm hex. I use dgi one inch 24mm hex wheel...

    Rampage MT Servo Comparison

    I would get a Hillantronics Hercules servo.

    Stock 32cc MT

    No. Using the helical crown and pinion. Good bearings and shimmed in those aluminum housings. They are stout. I have snapped the drive cup pins off inside the diffs since though. But it was after six months of thrashing on it. No complaints.

    Rampage MT Servo Comparison

    Ya I had decent luck with the Savox 0236. Till I rolled the truck and stripped the teeth inside. I then bought a Spektrum s9020 due to it's incredible specs on paper. It also did pretty good till a good spill. Then it also stripped. I rebuilt that 9020 two times with the same results. It striped...

    Redcat Rampage MT Runaway

    I had the same thing happen using a Flysky it4s radio system and stock servos. I put Futaba and replaced the throttle servo with a Savox. Good since. The Killer RC Super Bee saved my ass being able to hit the channel 3 button to kill the engine. So yes. I would get a quality radio system and a...

    Single Steering Servo

    In order to use a lipo receiver battery. You need to get a radio system that can handle the extra power. Most are 6v max. Also will need a lipo capable throttle servo.

    Engine Issues

    No problem brother! Figuring out these issues can be difficult. I have electric 5ths too. My dbxl-e is acting up. Not sure if the ESC is going bad or a loose connection etc. They all have their problems lol. Watch it be the $200 ESC

    Engine Issues

    That is a strange issue. Do you have a remote killswitch on it? Or maybe a radio glitch causing the killswitch to shut the engine off? I recently had a radio frequency glitch that was tripping the superbee killswitch. I had a gopro mounted on the radio which the gopro had the wifi turned on so I...

    Engine Issues

    For run spots I go on my laptop and search google maps in satellite mode. It really opened up my bashing perspective. There are no local 5th scale tracks here in Pittsburgh. So I run them where I can. I was about ready to give up RC due to lack of spots then tried that and been good since. Odd...
