Hello,
I have been into RC's or over 15 years now, but have stuck to 1/10 and 1/8 primarily, and just got into electrics after being into nitro.
Anywho, I recently saw my first 1/5 scale in action - it was the HPI Baja, and I loved it. Immediately came home and saw the cost and was discouraged. Buddy of mine told me about Redcat as a more cost efficient yet reliable way to get into 1/5 scale, and I've been doing a lot of reading etc and have decided on my next rig - I want the Rampage TT and plan on buying it soon.
My questions to you all:
1.) Should I get this over the MT? I'm primarily going to bash, and jump off of our home made ramp. Occasionally (like 1-2 times a year) I'll hit a track
2.) What should I upgrade right off the bat? I know every rig has some glaring weaknesses, so what do you all recommend I replace right away? Links would be greatly beneficial here as well.
3.) Any good links as to how to break in these motors? I've never messed with one of these motors in my life, and want to be sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance.
