Chassis flex is bad on these 4x4 's try running the front support braket for the pipe with a locknut and not tightening up all the way just make sure you got at least two threads out of nut. Maybe even a piece of rubber between the braket and frame. See if that dosen't help you out.


Sounds like your pipe is acting as a brace.

Well horsepower does change your luck on breaking things, On any RC vehicle . With the mega chassis flex and to much HP sounds like you will continue finding week links.

Chassis flex is the biggest enemy of the Rampage. I would be willing to be its the cause of the majority of issues with them. I think a one piece plate design upfront would fix the majority of the flex/torsion their. Perhaps a more solid fuel tank mount/rear brace would help as well.
