Well, I have to say my initial introduction to the rampage buggy was underwhelming. It had a few faults in it...like a rear shock that didn't cycle, another shock that was actually a front one, a throttle servo that died within 10 minutes of being turned on, and a exhaust that pretty much chokes the life out of the engine.
Anyway, I fixed the broken shock, live with the rear shock that is a front, replaced the throttle servo with a hitec 645 that I had in a 1/8 scale, and took of that dumb stinger. Things are good now!
It's pretty agile going around a track designed for an 1/8 scale buggy...kind of like seeing that big football player dancing a Vienese Waltz on Dancing with the Stars. You can tell the buggy is huge just like that football player but it's pretty light on it's feet considering how big it is.
Man, I had a good time with the buggy. Too bad I bent a rear shock piston and took out the other shock piston "C" clip. Oh, my rear tires are starting to rip too. That track in Vegas is harsh on tires.
Alrighty, so my relationship with the Rampage is all good. Great vehicle. I can't wait for my X-Can to show up this Friday.
