Redcat Racing 1/5th scale Rampage XT Truck

Hi I'm also planning to buy a redcat rampage... Whats the difference between the MT Pro and the rampage MT GR aside from their prices?

A word of advice: Don't do it! There is almost no OEM part support and little to no aftermarket part support. Save for a bit longer and get a name-brand such as Losi, Traxxas, HPI, Associated, Tamiya, etc.

Or if you must, a clone of HPI Baja series, as you'll have access to literally tons of OEM and aftermarket parts. Or do like I did and get on CL, I got a 5b SS with two tanks through it with radio gear for $600.

Was that an echo, echo, echo?

I also bought my Baja-5b used from another member here and haven't been sorry. A word advice on the clones, though, is to THOROUGHLY go through them and tighten, LocTite and fluids where necessary.

I got a clone... King Motors X2, runs strong... BUT you need to replace all diff internals to Losi at some point.

Had some issues, many could have been prevented if I would have done more research on YT, and on large scale forums. I ended up doing all the preventive measurements most recommended, after the fact.

So far, its a beast with a 30.5cc stock engine.

Radio system works very well, no issues, chassis, and all plastic parts are of very good quality. Like stated losi diff internals, proper oil, locktite and done.
