Hey Guyz,
I'm new to 1/5 scale; new to gas, and just ordered an XT -- should arrive in a few days or a week. Anyway, I've read so much that my head is spinning. Many threads suggest break-in by burning a tank of gas at idle while others say it's unnecessary. Seems to make sense -- I don't recall have to break in my 30cc weed wacker. But besides that, I'll probably break it in none the less.
After that, since I'm new to the scale and scared poopless of the power, I'll probably just do some light bashing around the yard. Here's a couple of questions from Mr. McNewbie:
1. Do these come RTR, with the radio dialed, servos connected, etc.?
2. If I'm bashing and jumping, are there Aluminum aftermarket replacement parts available for the XT?
3. Can the XT be retro-fitted with the 700cc gas tank for longer runs? How long will the rig run on a 500cc tank of gas with the 30cc motor?
4. Besides using 91 octane, and special oil I should use? Are there RC-specific oils, or is a good 2-stroke good enough?
I love the energy on this forum. I can tell that the Rampage is a great choice just by watching videos and reading threads. I'm STOKED!
