is the rampage the tmaxx of 5th scales?this is one thing that makes me think of getting one..
I hope not!!! I'd say the LST of 5th scale...I had a t-maxx..xl chassis, proline shocks, otb gears, ue diffs, steering bulkheads etc, rpm arms and other bits I put a fortune into it and it was still crap, had a savage with cen diffs, lst shocks, xl chassis, my own mid tank conversion etc, pile of very expensive dogs doings, had and lst put tini gears in it, rpm arms, mips hotpower springs and that was it and it was killer, all my nitros ran an sts .28 with sts pipes and 40 series big joes so the set ups were near the same...the LST was the best and toughest by far...I regretted selling it til last weekends rampage bash session cos now I got a 1/5 scale LST:D

i think on a scale of 1-10 5 beaing a t-maxx this is around a 9.5 for durability after you put the upgrade kit on

I got the, uhhh, proline __________, uh, cant remember what they are called, kinda look like a dirt bike tire.... Anyway, got 2 sets of those tires, Waiting on more money to get the hubs and rims. Badlands? I did run it about 30 mins in my backyard on the ice last night, nothing broke, amazing.

Dude, you must have got the last one made on a friday afternoon...seems to be a bit of a lemon, I've only had minor problems with mine and I am not the treat my rc gently type so I expect them... it has a few upgrades...the kit being the most important one...and now it's one tough truck

My redcat is for sale, im done with these things, running in straight lines on asphault stripped out 2 gears. Im gettin a 5t, its a shame cuz all the money i got in it i could have bought one. Redcat should be ashamed of themselves for putting out something with this many problems

Damn, sounds like my "new" Subaru XT wagon. New tranny (warranty), New turbo (warranty), new dashboard faceplate (warranty) thought these damn Jap cars were reliable?!?!?!? I'd be screwed without the damn warranty, $7500.00 alone for the transmission and that is without labor! What a racket! Hopefully my new MT will treat me better although I plan to treat it a little rough:eek: :D !
