Hey guys,

Well ever since I got my Baja and really started looking into the whole 1/5 market I have always wanted a Rampage. Even with a few of its issues I just liked the size and lay out of it.

Shout out to Scott at Vancouver Hobbies for hooking me up.

Its going to be a slow process with this truck since I am laid off at the moment but I picked up the upgrade kit and the redcat tuned pipe just because for right now it was really cheap and I am hoping its better then the stock exhaust.

I'll have more pix up today with the baja as well.

Waffle wanted to be in some of the pix to . :D

Looks nice, be sure to let us know how well it holds up after your first tank or two.
 
DANG!! That thing looks awesome. Get us a vid of it when you run it, if you can.
 
Well that will happen after I get it running.

Been having issues with it all day. I was spoiled with the baja I guess.

Well the Engine is still giving me problems and I now have a strip screw with a broken screw removing bit in it, and I have put a huge slot in the screw so I could try and get it out with a screw driver and still no luck. :angry:

I love my baja :)
 
Well yes and no.

I can get it running now and it sounds really smooth when its idling. Its when I start to run it that I start to have issues. The plug is telling me that the engine is very rich but the needles tell me something different.

I think I am going to just tune it and so the engine runs proper and go from there.

So your plug is indicating dark/rich but your needles are leaned out? Sounds like you may have a bad gas/oil mix...
