Looking to part with my rampage...


Started out as a TT v1


DDM 26.9cc race port head kit


DDM dominator side pipe


Walbro wt-813 carburetor


Hitec digital steering servo


Ace 1015 throttle/brake servo


Redcat upgrade kit


8000 RPM stall clutch


HPI Baja air filter


Aluminum steering mounts


Aluminum hub carrier


Aluminum gear plate


Futaba 3pm 2.4ghz radio


Proline truck body


HPI 5t wheel conversion (hubs, tires, rims)


Its in good shape, nothing wrong with it. Engine has great compression, has about 3-4 gallons through it.


What do you guys think its worth?

I have it listed for $800 as it sits. If I can't get that, or close to it. I won't sell it.

Does a new one come with a ddm dominator? What about a Futaba 3pm? What about a 5000 mah receiver back and digital servos? Not mentioning the other $800 or so worth of parts.

I'm sure DDM will be dumping them with pipes again.....as for the rest like i said its a used Redcat, used rc's in general go for less then 50% of new at best.....sorry to break your little heart Chuckie ol' boy...♥

yeah but it ain't set up like mine that new one. OBR engine is way better used than a new cy 23cc but I guess you'll break another heart and tell me mine is worthless too hu?

Craigslist. And like I said, I don't care if I sell it, but if I did the money would go towards a shed I'm building.

And also... I still work at the local hobby shop. I bet I can take it in there, push it and have it sold fairly quickly.

Got any of the stock parts, wheels,tires, elecs, D/T pieces?- Id so consider putting those back on and sell the other up's separately. Say $500-580.00 for the truck w/ upgraded head,clutch. The radio you can get $100-$130.00, pipe $75-$100.00, 5T wheel set-up-$125-$150.00, servos $100.00, body $50.00-?


Either way good luck w/ the sale.

Even though it may be hard to sale for $800 with new ones coming in with radios and a new lower price. I still think large scale RC's hold their value a little better than the couple hundred bucks that has been talked about.


I think $400 - $700 for hopped up rampages is not unreasonable.


I paid $275 for a mostly stock one with no radio / pipe and some spares a few months ago. It was a great deal ( Thanks Kryptonite )


So with some upgrades they are worth some more.


I give $240 from Imadman for just some of a roller without wheels six - 8 months ago. it was OK deal too but the used market was a little less crowded then and still hard to find used. I feel that would be high today with more used choices.

This is what I would expect it would cost to build this package used


TT V1 base chassis + upgrade kit + alum steer mounts, hub carrier, gear plate 350


DDM 26.9cc race port head kit + 8k springs + whole motor w/813 100


DDM dominator side pipe 80


Hitec digital steering servo 40


Ace 1015 throttle/brake servo 18


HPI Baja air filter 13


Futaba 3pm 2.4ghz radio 95


Proline truck body 75


HPI 5t wheel conversion (hubs, tires, rims) 100


Total 871 parted out


Total as a package 700 to 771


If I was interested in it I would change servos, headkit, bearings, and RX batt to my liking but those items are cheap so I would say its worth $700 to 771 as a complete package.


But there would also be selling fees and shipping to consider depending on where you sell it so the $ leftover for you would be less.


However as stated everyone knows with any hopped up RC you get more $ parting it out


Are you selling it for sure any where else besides craigslist? Id be interested but I ordered a V3 about a week ago.
