Rampage TT Discontinued?

[2simplistic]

I tried to order a Rampage TT and the response I received was that they were no longer carrying the Rampage TT due to Redcat discontinuing that model. Has anyone else ran into this?

I think Ron from Rampagehopups said he was getting some in Feb. and they would include steel gears now. I don't know if they're discontinued or not.

They are not going anywhere...This is a quote from the President of RedCat from this thread..

The current Rampage models are not going away as they are still in great demand.
We continue to stock parts for all models even when we discontinue them. We still stock parts for models we discontinued 3 years ago so you don't have to worry about that.


In regards to what percent of the new Rampage models will fit on the current models. I am going to say under 10%. The new models are totally different. Mainly the engines will all work along with electronics and most of the screws but that is about it.


Thanks

My bad I guess he didnt say "all" parts......

I as well wish we could still get parts for the v2. Yes its nice we can convert to v3 but if "all" parts were available for 3 years after being discontued we'd have those diff cases.


Have to buy a new chassis just for diff cases on model that was only replaced about a year ago sucks.....doesn't give 100% confidence in being able to get parts even 6 months after a models disconued.


I remember the shock fiasco still too well too................


The v1 and v2 shock parts dried up as the v3 was released! So the only way to replace a shaft was to convert the whole shock to v3!

We did send out a message to dealers that the TT will not be back but since that email went out, we had some dealers request that we do not discontinue the TT so we will continue to bring in limited qty's.


The MT, MT PRO and Dunerunner are all fine and the reason we had decided to limit the production of the TT is twofold. 1. The DuneRunner outsells it 4-1. 2. With the new XB coming, it just did not make sense to have 3 4WD buggies.


So, after receiving some requests from dealers we decided to continue with it and the next available TT's will be around June.


Hope that helps.
