Same here rofl.

That thing looks pretty sleek. The xtm looks cool but I had a mammoth st...worm gears?


I am curious what this will run for. the way electric racing is taking over around here, I can see these as definate candidates for a new class. indoor horse barns

 

[hamster huey]

My guess for price would be less than $800. You can already do a 2wd namebrand for less than $1200 RTR minus batteries. 800 to 1200 is about the ratio of Redcat to HPI gassers (when RTR'ed with comparable specs). A China 1/5 HV ESC and motor should be under $350, China 2.4 under $50, China servo under $50, and I would guess a chassis would be under $400. Thats my guess. HPI 5b/t 1/5 brushless is already here and not as expensive as youd think. There just isnt a brushless rolling chassis made by anyone........yet. I wonder if it would have thr/brk control in the air. It looked like it did in the video. I hope Redcat is the 1st to get a 1/5 brushless to market.

 

[Obeast44]

Thats about what I was figuring too HH, about $800 fully RTR. I persoanlly would rather have one pretty much RTR less batteries and charger. IMO, 90% of the guys even remotely considering one of them will have that already. I know I do

 

[prostock]

Awesome,


Where are the specs on this e-buggy?


Width


Length


Wheelbase


Weight


BRC

 

[Obeast44]

Wheelbase, length and width should be fairly close to a Rampage. The weight is gonna be the BIG difference. Just how much is yet to be determined.

I have found 2 other 1/5th scales you can buy as brush-less but they are 2 wheel drive. price is 600.00 to 750.00 without lipos.

 

[lightning73]

Who makes them, and do you have links so we can compare them to the Redcat prototype?

Those don't happen to be the Firehammer clone and HPI Baja clone that Engage sells do they?

 

[rob64n]

no they are not

 

[csp1971]

no they are not

Oh, okay. Thanks.

 

[camtunkpa]

[Obeast44]

Yup saw that one too, I liked it better on 6s

 

[tofast4love]

NICE, here I am buying a rampage today and I SEE they are coming out with a 1/5 scale electric.... NICE go green

 

[racetruck]

Welcome to the forums Ali and thank you for the video. I want that job also the buggie looks great we need a sprint car body for it so we can race the oval at large scale rc AWSOME

?? Test 2 and Test 3 both say it's running 6s... I like it better on 6s too..

Halfway through vid 3 they switch from 6s and 1136kv motor to 4s and a 1450kv motor. From what I can tell from the vids and from what I've been told. It looks like a 700kv motor On 6s would be perfect.
