Hi Folks, First off thank you all! I could NEVER have gotten to this point w/o the forum!!! G-man in particular took the time to address allot of my questions. Greatly appreciate your patience! To help others I wanted to pause for a moment and share my winter build list in a consolidated format, especially to assist those newer to 5th scale as I am also relatively new and it’s been a longer than anticipated learning curve for me and I wish I had a clean list to work off from day 1. The idea behind my build was to assemble a Rampage in a manner better suited (IMHO) for a bit more power and reliability w/o getting into an upgraded engine (which I will still do downstream after I blow this one up, hehehe). Anyway, I spent allot of time reading old posts as well as learning a bit solo…along with a few fails, while learning to apply allot of patience. Hopefully this helps others as its hard (IMHO) to start out sometimes without knowing the hobby lingo let alone what fits, what doesn’t, where to get parts, what to avoid, etc. Enjoy!
