Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got the Rampage buggy with the head kit on it. I was going over it today and found out the both rear shocks had problems. One should wouldn't cycle because the plastic thing that rides on the shock shaft was too big for the shock body and it was binding. The other rear shock is actually a front shock so it's shorter than the other rear shock. Darn it!!! I wanted a perfect, new truck.
Oh well, I fixed the sticky shock and it works great now. I guess I'm stuck with the shorty until I can get a replacement from the folks I purchased it from (I sure hope they honor my request). But, you know, I can't wait to run it so I stuck my Nomadio radio in there, checked the failsafe and servo throws, and tomorrow the buggy will be de-flowered and be no longer a virgin. (I sure it'll be ok running one front shock in the rear - it seems ok when it's on the ground ).
Oh - will someone please tell me how to service the stock air filter?? I could not find a way to get the filter out to check it for any filter oil.
