    XT/XT-E parts interchange

    I just picked up a XT-E and I noticed a lot of the chassis parts list that they are for the XT, but don't mention the XT-E specifically. Other than the obvious, are most of the parts interchangeable? Wondering specifically about bearings. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ESC question for XT-E

    I'm considering an ESC upgrade and leaning towards the Hobbywing 200a max5 8s capable ezrun unit (I've had a few Hobbywing esc's and really like them). My question: Can I run this upgraded ESC on 8s with the stock 980kv motor? Will the motor grenade or just keep on trucking. I hear a lot of...

    Drive shaft came loose at center diff, set screw came out

    Hello everyone, I finally got my first 1/5 scale RC, a Rampage XT. I have been wanting one for several years. I flooded the engine on my first start up attempt, but I have since figured out the way to start it (I hope). But the one thing i did not do that i should have is check all bolts...

    Redcat Rampage XT-E (would like to make it wheelie)

    New owner here. I love the truck, but want to make this machine wheelie from a stop. Couple questions: 1. Will better Lipos (higher C rating) accomplish this with added punch and timing on the stock motor? I'm not sure what the factory pinion size it, but maybe a smaller pinion (one or two...

    XT vs MT Whats the Difference?

    I was just curious, cause it was around this time last year I was in the market for a 5th scale. Did the math on the HPI's and price was ridiculous (15cc Octane too.) don't do any racing so the Losi was out of the question. Then I came across Redcat. I wanted a heavy duty 4x4 truck so I landed...

    New Rampage MT next to Savage X

    Got my Rampage from Rob this week and wanted to post up. Have only had nitro in the past. Ordered a slew of upgrades from DDM and wasn't planning to drive it until they came but I took it out for some short break in spins today. Two 10 minute heat cycles down and I'm ready to let it rip once...

    Redcat MT vs Redcat XT (XB?) The XT appears more quick, at take off?

    Watching videos, the XT looks like it is quicker than the MT, or is it my imagination? Does the XT come with a hop up making it quicker than the MT?

    2 speed transmission problem

    Just bought a 2 speed transmission off ebay and so far it fit great but I think something internally is backwards. Neither one of the gears will engage at all unless I'm in reverse wich my truck does not even have. I already took off 2nd gear and looked at the main paw that engages 2nd gear but...
