If you're just getting a Rampage MT here are a few things you might want to consider buying to get started. The below items will increase performance, run time and durability - all of which equals more FUN! 
Fuel - Go to your local gas station.
4x AA Batteries - These are for the transmitter, sure the Rampage comes with really cheap AA's but I'm a big fan of Eneloop rechargeable batteries and would certainly used these over stock. Either the Panasonic Eneloop or Eneloop Pro (higher capacity, longer run time).
Kill Switch - A kill switch will quickly and automatically kill the engine if at any time the truck loses radio signal, low or even total battery power loss. Saving you the trouble of this 30+ pound beast running wide open throttle at you, someone else, tree, or whatever. Get yourself a Killer RC kill switch and crisis averted!
Tuned Pipe - One of the most effective ways to wake up the stock engine is to install a tuned pipe and one that's probably most recommended would be the DDM dominator pipe.
Air Filter - Similar the a tuned pipe an upgraded air filter will allow much more air flow into the engine and help wake up the engine. I'd recommend doing the air filter and tuned pipe upgrade at the same time. The HPI Baja air filter makes a great upgrade.
Servos - The stock servos can leave a bit to be desired, so a quick and easy fix is to upgrade them to something better such as the Hitec 5765 for steering and Hitec 5685 for throttle.
Bearings - This doesn't come as a surprise really as bearings on most RC's are rarely shipped with quality bearings, some without bearings at at all. No matter, a nice quality set of bearings such as the ones Fast Eddy Bearings would be a set I'd recommend and have used on several of my RC's with great success.
This by no means is a complete list of upgrades, there are always more you can do such as 8,000 RPM clutch spring, steel gears, carb, or even a head kit and much more.
There are tons of upgrades available for the Redcat Rampage MT, if you have other suggested upgrades, please share below!
