[kryptonite]

now thats what i call "do'in work".. nice. cant wait to see the goodies

 

[satttheman]

yea its alot... i just have to decide what th/br servos to get the 985 are faster and alittle servo but idk if its worth the money. im a parking lot racer/basher so my servos don't get beat on.

 

[kryptonite]

well, if it helps i have 3 ramps and they are all equipped with the 645's. i don't really notice they are slightly slower

 

[satttheman]

it didnt help lol. im still up in the air i have till monday a=cause it the weekend and it wont ship till monday anyway. largescalerc guys switched and are running those hitec 985's. idk someone with both chime in please.

I have 645;s and ther great, I don't have the MT tires mounted though.

 

[forist]

I have the 645 as well work great!!!!!

you got a pm about painting my body

 

[satttheman]

idk i had a 645 a few years ago and it never centered right. im not really a hitec fan because of that. i wait a rhino but i don't want to wait 2-4 weeks for two. i figure if i buy good/digital/corless hitec im less likely to had the glitching and center problem that i had before. maybe im wrong maybe the qaulity is better. i you guys truely thing so i try the 645. and use that $75 in saves on something else.

Got it.

 

[satttheman]

the TT came today around 11am i already installed the upgrade kit, threadlocker every screw that goes into metal, and tighted every screw. wasn't as bad as i thought. i love power tools!

 

[IMADMAN]

Any hobby can be expensive. But truth be told, I have WAAAAYYYY less invested in 2 of my MT/TT's compared to my 1 Baja. Both are slightly modded.


Funny thing too is that the funfactor is just as big as when I had my Baja.

 

[satttheman]

yea true all my hobbies are expensive. this is one of my cheaper hobbies lol. i just love toys. i hear what your saying the rampages are reasonable and are way cheaper than hpi baja to mod but theres not a big aftermarket for them yet. i spend alot in these past two days i couldve bought two hpi 5t. i cant wait to run these things. it will be interesting to see how much the quality has improved since the first batches.

 

[kryptonite]

i know what you mean about the 645 centering. i tried them on my revo and savvy(old school) and they straight sucked. with the throttle/brake i don't notice or have any centering issues. i thought i would need more torque, but as you know from the old MT, the redcat brakes are pretty good. i ordered one for the mt, didnt have any issues, so i order 2 more for the other rigs.. where's the pics bra!!

 

[satttheman]

didnt get much today but heres what i got:














ok im going to order the 645's so how they do. no one chimed in on the 5645 or the 985 so i gues most guys arent running them.


ps krypto change your profile pic please everytime i see you that truck i want to order a mt. that thing is sweet i like the drag race vid of it. your a bad influence with all them rampages. i might have to complete the family and order a mt v2.

 

[387mudslinger]

sweet one more tt. i run then 5745,and the 645.the 5745 works real good for me my tt has the 30.5 and it turns great.

 

[satttheman]

ordered some shreadhead v-stacks and another 5745 i think i might try some servos i have i have one jr 8800t laying around. also ill probably be order a v2 roller. cause i wanted to change my tt into a trophy truck but i like the buggy to so im probabl going to get a mt. hopefully i get my motors, pipe, seals, from ONB today also my rally comes today and my rx, filters, springs and 813 will be coming from DDM today.

I would highly recommend getting the following soon as possible:

http://www.rampagehopups.com/product.sc?productId=267&categoryId=6


and

http://www.rampagehopups.com/product.sc?productId=268&categoryId=6


The first one is more of a priority.

 

[satttheman]

man i almost ordered these on my order from largescalerc. i guess ill order them now i was getting them for the rally. should i get them for the tt too???

 

[DemonRC]

Ya I'd order them for the TT for sure since your gonna be running offroad with it. Your gauranteed to break those. The 2nd part, Steering Mount B, is preference. I broke 2 of those from hard cartwheels. The first part you can sneeze on it and it'll break.

Once you upgrade the shocks, temper the diff cup shafts, and get metal gears you should be bulletproof.
